Damn you JMS!

Oooooooh!

I want. They must send to the UK. Joe was very nice shipping me the V mini series script.

OK, now I'm curious about some of the details of the commerce of the buying and selling of these books.

Will one have to remember to go to their web site every two weeks or so and place another order for the lastest one?

Will you be able to enter a "subscription" at the beginning, where they charge your credit evey two weeks (or once a month for two volumes)?

Will you *have* to do a subscription to the get 15th volume? Or will they cross-reference all of the a la carte orders and ship you 15 when you have ordered all of the other 14?

And is $29 the "out the door" price that you actually pay? Or is that the "before shipping" price? And will paying for the shipping make it more economical to have them shipped 2 or 3 at a time?

You know pretty much everything we do at this point. I've been assuming that there'd be some kind of subscription but I don't know anything about e-commerce at all.

As JMS said, they're still working out the details. I wouldn't even count on the $29/39 prices yet if I were you. We'll find out when the website goes live, sometime in October as JMS said.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that i thought there were more answers to be had at this point. Just that I was immediately curious about how those things would eventually turn out.

[Jan]

Sorry I misunderstood. Yeah, we're all chomping at the bit already! What I thought was really cool was when Amy suggested that the Joke Script be included, JMS went looking for it and found it to include in the bonus book.

Oh man... I want this. I would have prefered Sinclair to go the distance so its a must have to see what coulda been!

Yup, as I understand it there's no problem shipping overseas.

Must have.... them all! No really, if JMS himself indeed concurs that they are shippable overseas, maybe event to Finland... Damn I'm going to be so happy. So damn happy!

I've only known of B5 since 1998, and started participating online somewhat later.

It's been a while, I notice. :eek

[Oatley1]

Must have, must have, MUST HAVE!!!!!

The whole of the original Sinclair arc? YES!!!! Then I can finally see if my guesses about the story in its original form are close to the mark!
