Can anyone direct me how to use The Book Patch to get the books shown above. I'm trying to figure it out, but I'm just to stupid to use it and don't wanna mess this up.

Used Book Patch, everything went fine, until I made an error on the shipping address of an order. Does anyone know if there's a way to edit that? I sent a message through the "contact us" already.

Alright, since it has become clear that the second print run is, in fact, dead, I would like to get my hands on all the details about the project, so I can get a set EXACTLY like the first run, but with the new pdfs. I'm talking companies used, cover material, cover dimensions, page dimensions, paper type, set box, EVERYTHING...
If nobody can give me said info, I'll be severely disappointed.

The reason for doing it as a group, is because hardcover books are rather expensive when you buy just one. If you get the details, please share them with me, as I too would like to explore options to do a second printing. Except I want to do a second printing for everyone, not just for myself.
Originally, the paypal issue screwed up the second printing because it shifted the timeline to where the books would be delivered to the mods after classes started back up in the fall. (I'm sure there were other factors, but that seems to be the gist of it from what I've read.) From there, they would be shipped out to everyone individually. Staging everything from someone's garage works, but not during the fall and winter, when most people who volunteer are in school. So realistically, if we revived the original plan, nothing could really be done until the spring.
I have a plan that could theoretically fulfill a second printing by around March/April, but I need the original details before I can say for sure.


Honestly, the quote from the printer for the first printing would give you most all of what is needed to get the ball rolling.

I'm all for a revival of the second printing as well, no way could I settle for a paperback. I loved the covers of the first printing and would like in on it, if anyone is attempting it.

Too bad said details will be painfully slow to obtain.

I. CAN. WAIT.

I've waited about a year now since first hearing of this endeavor. What's another year or two matter?

I know this probably isn't the place but how do I go about buying a book?

As there probably wont be an organized printing run you need to take the pdfs to a printing service.
The best service depends on where you live. Im about to order one copy of each book for me from epubli.de, which will cost me around 100€ or 135$. If you know some bronies around you, you could ask if they want one too and get a discount. Depending on your location organizing such a non-profit mass buying might require some form of announcement to your taxing institute to be recognised as non-profit and not as company.
On a site note: Make sure that you DONT PUBLISH whatever you print :flutterrage:

Where can I get the image for the cover on the 1st print run? As far as I can tell it's not a dust jacket, just a plain hardback cover. I've searched here and the facebook page but can't find anything.
