Why not just get the pdf kurt-kun linked earlier? It's instant! Unless you really want a physical copy.

I thought about it but I think it's so god damned cozy to sit down with a real book, a cup of tea and flip through pages! :D I'm like an old grandpa like that!

Physical books don't require electricity and there are tons of books not available in electronic form.

A toast to my ancient library of over 200 books.  A few over 100 years old.

I also prefer books.
Book don't strain the eyes as much as those e-books and the lovely smell of a book... sniff... ahhhhhh~

Ok, the replacement from Amazon got here in just 2 days, ROFLOL! :) after waiting for over a month for the original order this seems surreal to me. Did they use a teleporter this time?
Anyway, the book was delievered to the complete wrong side of town so I'm gonna have to pick it up tomorrow instead. But yay anyway

Watch now as you get a copy with printing defects. :)

I also prefer physical books. Biggest reason is it's a pain in the ass to flip back to or find a previous page when it's digital. A PDF in the case of this CV book doesn't work for me 'cos it's meant to be sort of a coffee table book.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

Wow! They must have used the expedited shipping option for it to arrive fast. But LOL on the wrong side of town. It must be the first time they delivered to your town. And as Freak said, I hope you didn't get the defect copy.

Heh. Had a similar thing happen to me just recently. Waited 2 months for one of those Mario propaganda posters, and it was lost in the mail. After Fro Design Co located my shipment, it took less than a week.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

Received mine 2 week ago but forgot to post it! IN LOVE with it! Greetings from Venezuela!!!

I guess that all IGA haters are rejoicing now. Have fun with your fancy Belmont Dracula and rat stealth.

Apperently, this book was requested by Konami to be removed from sale on Amazon. Too bad they would probably never bother to put out an official equivalent.

Shit, serious? Is it down already, or just pending decision? I need to get it before it's gone.

Wow, talk about a dick move. I hope the remaining stock can be sold off (if it wasn't somehow confiscated).
