Over on Facebook, Ben has acknowledged the shipping issues and says he is working on a solution.
My books were also sparsely packaged but thankfully they made it to my home in the US undamaged.

Until they address the issue, i am not buying another 8 copies of lw31. Lw28 hardcover will likely be 350 sections, up 50 sections from the original lw28. There will be two versions for lw28. The price for both versions will likely be over 1000usd in eBay.

The price for both versions will likely be over 1000usd in eBay. I hope hardcover lw28 will be printed in massive amounts. The price of Lw28 Sejanoz (english) has skyrocketed to as high as 2500aud at Aussie eBay. It was sold in just 36 hours!! Many staunch collectors, probably 75%, lack lw28 to complete their collection. The 4-digit figure in usd, sgd, canadian dollar, aud, or even gbp, isnt funny at all. Why should we collectors pay so much to complete our collection? I hope that about 690 more copies of lw28 will be printed as compared to lw23. That should quench our collectors' thirst. Also... hardback 1 to 22 should be printed for those, like me, who missed collecting them some 10 years ago. We will support Holmgard Press with all our gold crowns!!!

What profit would I have made from The Exchange Rate for Aussue Money to UK Money?

So after scanning the thread packaging of the parcels should improve soon. How about the books itself, how is the quality, paper, print and cover? Maybe somebody can share some close ups?

The paper quality is excellent though a little yellowish. I suspect that the books were printed in early 2018 but it probably took some time before it was made available to collectors.

I absolutely love the cover art of LW29 and 30, especially LW30!! However, I still prefer the Red Fox Cover Design of LW21 to 28... Full of nostalgia... Attachments:

Alberto del Lago’s interpretations are spot on. *thinks back to some of the much more misleading covers* I’ll post a picture as soon as I can figure out how to do it by mobile phone.

$2500 for one of the books? Bloody hell.
I'd still not sell any of mine, unless I had a double in lesser condition.

There was a seller in Australia who listed his Lw28, which was in lesser condition of the two copies he had, at Aussie eBay. I paid almost 380 pound for it. Do u know how scarce lw28 really is...

Though the shipping box is badly dented, the books are not damaged due to bubble wrapping!! I thought of ordering 5 more copies of lw30.

I have to ask, what's with all the multiple copies? Are you buying them to sell at a later date? Or do you sit in the dark stroking them, saying "My pecioussss" over and over? I have to admit to owning 6 copies of Flight from the Dark, but they are all different.

I hope to brag with my eBay friends on the fact that i have 10+ copies when magnamund runs out of copies. I failed to do so for lw29. Sad.... i didnt know that the books were sold out more promptly than i thought. I have 16 copies of flight from the dark - all red fox version - from mint to poor condition. I collect the same title, same version, same edition, with varying conditions.
