Special Print Available Through Ames Bros With Book Purchase!

I do understand the frustration for those who bought the book early.

When I bought my TV, a month later they had it for the same price with a home theatre included - it definately sucked but this is the way business works.

A free fanclub only print would definately be a good idea.

you don't have an overwhelming sense of entitlement.....and when you don't get your way you don't scream and cry and break your toys because you didn't get your way.....that's why you're confused

I don't see how this is any different from when a CD is re-released with "3 bonus tracks" a year after the initial release. It's trying to get people who are on the fence to buy it because sales have dropped off. Simple as that.

Agreed. They probably have stacks of them collecting dust at the warehouse, why not sweeten the deal and move some merchandise? No big deal. It's just a 9"x12" print.

Ka pasa? You don't just get those 3 prints.

LE Edition .. Includes: a Certificate of Authenticity page, 32 bonus pages featuring original poster art, eight special “scientific” mylar overlays, and three exclusive silk-screened art prints.

I can't do it... as much as I have wanted the book and the poster is a little bonus I just can't get it. Times are getting a little tougher these days and I need to stick to my guns and not buy it. With any luck it will be sold out soon and the decision will be made for me.

man i own the book..it's here..and it's not all that..certainly not worth that extra money..the 'three exclusive silk-screened art prints' are completely terrible and not exclusive at all.. 'scientific' what now?? the only redeeming feature about the LE is the sketches at the back and even they look like a rush photocopy job..

anyone want mine? they can have it

it's all in the marketing. look at it this way:

'New limited edition Ames Brothers Art Print now on sale for $50 AND, while supplies last, you get the cool poster book for free'

this way, current book owners wouldn't feel cheated.

two cents,
lz

but the book isnt new or LE...just the poster. so how is that now a ripoff? i know no one is saying we HAVE to buy anything but if u can prove original proof of purchase i feel one should be entitled to a poster thats the last thing im saying on the subject

robbyblaylock

fine, my bad, books now in goods section
and yes therefore my bad, pearl jam are selling the book.
and my bad for noticing that it is still the same price as before.

i work in retail. a small chain of toy stores. last year we had a spiderman doll that danced and played music. this year the company that made it repackaged it for the same price with a microphone to sing along with him. so were the people that bought it last year rioting over that...no. same damn thing.

its a print people, get over it.

and no offense to the artists, but its not like the band signed it.

think long and hard about it. you are ripping into pearl jam all night over a 9x12.

I agree. That would be cool on the 10c part. They can check on our profiles who bought the book already. And I'd pay 2 or 3 bucks for the shipping... how's that?

understood. still, the price of the print is $50... for everybody. the price one is willing to pay to own the print, whether you already own the book or not. you can't get it anywhere else, or any other way.

I'd be more upset if the print was any good.

If people want to buy that pos, be my guest.

I've come to expect this kinda thing from Pearl Jam, Inc. these days.

Sponsored by Verizon.

Well, you get $5 off the Stickman shirt just for being a member. And that print is only 9"x12", no big deal IMO

like that Inc. reference...

Just connect the dots:

- "We don't play the South cause we don't sell that much"
- CD Bootlegs "at an affordable price" of $16.99
- $10.50 for a zippo lighter shipping.

When did this happen??

Not long ago, in 2005, 10c stepped in an rescued me from getting ripped off by concert promoters in the Mexico shows. Something that I'll remember forever, but nowadays I somehow think the green disease has finally got them.

Stealing light from whats beneath

I don't know, I am pretty happy with the 10club. You pay $20 and get a christmas VINYL (even if it is late), newsletters (again they tend to be late), and of course the great seats to live shows. On top of that the posters, even though in limited quantities, become available in the months after the shows. Saving people money who didn't get one and don't want to pay high ebay prices.

I totally sympathize with people who are upset, but it is a business. When "The Dark Knight" is released in coming weeks I am sure they will re-release "Batman Begins" with extra footage, features, etc that I didn't get before. I guess I will just have to assess how much I want these extra goodies and make a purchasing decision from there.

:eek: Man this got ugly!

I bought both books when they came out, I'm a little disappointed that I dont have the print.... but come on you guys it's only a print... it's not even a show print ... I would love to have it but It's not the end of the world ...

jeffer96

I'm not pissed about the poster because it is an ugly piece of shit.

If anyone wants just the poster and doesn't want their book, I'll buy just the book offa you for $23 shipped. Look at it this way, it'd be like you're paying $30 for a signed print, which is pretty reasonable. I live in PA, PM me if interested
