Phineas Poe Omnibus, $12 !!

I love this at the bottom:

2 new from $12.92 5 used from $95.00

hahaha yeah, those sellers didnt realize the reissue came out--second printing or whatever

I just ordered a copy!

i found on at the bookstore a while back for 15 dollars. i was surprised to see it.

your avatar is stupid. looks like she's washing herself in the sink. why is that so popular nowadays. i think it was even featured on jay leno.

i have a picture on my wall of scarlett johannsen shaving her legs in the kitchen sink. that's hot.

shush kabol, im hoarding over here

just bought the shit out of that.

thanks for the heads up.

I think those who got it fot 14 didn't get a bad deal. Doesn't the 12 still leave out the shipping cost?

I love Baer's work. Still waiting on Godspeed though.

Its been a while since I read all through this entire trilogy. Just bought the paperback so I could do it all in one book instead of three seperate ones.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Mine still hasn't shipped. Maybe amazon fucked up like usual, and they really don't have this in stock? I'm going to order from one of the used copys as a just in case, while they are 12 bucks instead of 90. and if I get two copys, i don't really care; I'll end up giving both away anyway, like always.

no way. after a full fourteen months without an edition, and that horrible softcover HHA release, i'm not relinquishing this edition again. i'd given away two and sold one, thinking i'd just get another, less worn one. and alas, i'm due for another. kind of like you feel a headache if you misplace a baseball glove or are not in your favorite jeans, it'll definitely make a more completed shelf.

as for amazon, that's possible. but my statement says march 16 shipping date. and it said that when i bought it. i guess that's the date i find out for certain. and that's the date i'll let everyone else know whether it shipped or not..

Man, wish i had money to buy another copy of this. I lent mine to a lady and she fucked it up.

i should know monday night if this is bs, as that is the estimated shipping date. if it ships monday, i'll know that the edition is again available and for such a great damned deal. am hopeful.

Ordered, along with a $12 copy of House of Leaves (I've never found it for less than $85 in bookshops around here)

Man, if you have never read ether of these, you're in for such a fucking treat.

Well?

isnt that fun:

Shipping estimate: March 19, 2009 - April 2, 2009

Shipping estimate: April 1, 2009 - April 2, 2009
1 of: Phineas Poe: Kiss Me/Judas/ Penny Dreadful/Hell's Half Acre

Shipping estimate: March 19, 2009 - March 21, 2009
1 of: Twilight

so, needless to say, the shipping changed. amazon sent me a long letter about how they understand how much i was looking forward to this item and that they very much appreciate my needs and they are so sorry but sometimes books sell out and they will order more and my best interest is in their best lah blah....

.

so, i'll know in april at what time the NEW shipping estimate will be

or maybe the omnibus actually re-releases in april. it's so hard to say, one way or another..

i think i'm done with amazon. i ordered 2 books not long ago and not one but both books were 'out of stock' and they had to re-order them from their distributor. why was it even listed? i had to wait about 3 weeks for the books and they weren't even similar books.

my ship date is still listed as march 20th. i guess i'll expect a rollback on that.
borders briefly had them up and available and i quietly placed an order for immediate shipping expedited, and the order kept being pushed back and back... now it's showing 2-4 weeks there as well.

i wonder if someone found a crate of omnibi ('buses?) at a warehouse randomly, and now the supply is gone.

yeah. they are all out of stock again. awesome.

im showing a ship estimate of march 30th, in spite of the out of stock.
what are you guys showing?

They canceled my order. So, I'm not getting it this time around.

i still havent gotten word. not yet, anyway. i'm reasonably sure it will cancel, but mine still says april first. until then, i cant call it a failed attempt and am making no judgments until that time. because i am thick, stubborn. hopeful.

..

that's strange, that my order placed after yours has a sooner ship date kabol.
bad voodoo at amazon.

cancelled, bastards

5 new from $99.95 9 used from $50.42

Oops.

they just canceled mine tonight as well

As you know, I was holding out hope that your order would come through, Beto. Mine was canceled long ago. I was hoping you were going to get yours because you were at a certain place in line and they were holding copies for you.

i found it at borders bookstore a while back. i'd suggest hunting around for it if it's at all possible. it's huge, probably my thickest book.

i hit the boarders in new orleans yesterday and looked but didnt find a copy. but i had to look.

I reckon if Godspeed does well they might re-issue it again. Though, doing a re-issue sometime within the last year seems like it would've been a good marketing campaign.
But, yeah, best of hope for the success of Godspeed so we can get the Omnibus again.

If I see it anywhere, I will buy every copy and you'll all have a merry Christmas.

i'm down for that - little swap-a-roni

yeah i wish i could give mine away but apparently it's hard to come by. i'll keep an eye out though, the bookstores in my area are huge.

count me in for one, and not only will i cover the cost, but i'll toss in a little something extra from a recent chuck tour if you want, hard to come by

I run into problems with the omnibus. I really want all of my friends to read the trilogy, but the first one I had I lent out and it wound up in Colorado. So. I don't lend out the one I've got now. My solution was to buy a copy of Kiss Me, Judas, and loan that to people. My roommate's got it right now. Though he's in Boston, which is starting to make me think the books just like crossing state lines.

I've bought so many copies of Choke, Fight Club, Jesus' Son that it's ridiculous.

I never expect the book back. But with that in mind - I only lend out books that I can afford to lose/buy again.

heck yeah, i'll look around. houston isn't exactly known for it's literary community so i'll more than likely find it.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
