    i know! not to be a complete nerd... but for a while i was looking at a star wars movie poster book that i really wanted, similar to what PJ is putting out which was close to $200 as well.

    i just can't force myself to spend that kind of $ on a book. that $ can go to better use.


    art/photography books are expensive to print and they are heavy
    take a look at the books with audobon prints, wegman, hirschfeld or sports, big $$$ for quality, never mind signed and numbered ltd slip cover editions-some of those go into the thousands.

    the $14 dollar charge is reasonable if its sent priority, which has a minimum charge of $10 anyway

    I got mine. Tough choice to make, sales are on the slower side market wide, money is tight. but you can't buy the enjoyment I'll get.

    I want it. I need it. I felt a rush when I got the post on myspace.

    and now I'm glad. :)

    pshaw :p
    I wouldn't give him one dollar :)
    If I had an extra 2 bills that's not what I'd spend it on anyway :)

    but $200 for that book/poster deal smells of a money grab to me, personally. No offense.

    Curious if anywhere in this thread the actual "size" of the book/pages has been found out??

    Maybe if it's a decent size there are some frameable pages....that could be worth the $50. I'm not a poster collector so the $200 is ridiculous for me to spend...but for those who spend a fortune collecting posters anyway, I can imagine they are pretty stoked.

    what's that in real measurements?

    9 x 12 is actually the size of the art prints as per colby shultz, which fit in the slip case of the book, so the book might be a little bigger

    i'm on the fence about this know im gonna get one but which one?

    are the 3 posters that come with the special edition normal size? or are they 9x12?

    i can see 200 for the special edition if it comes with 3 normal size posters, even though it's pretty high for a book.

    and i think i have some time since there are soo many s/n copies. his wrist must hurt from signing so many :)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    they more i read about the limited edition, the happier I am about getting it

    "original poster art taken from the sketchbooks"

    the mylar stuff is pretty freaking cool-part of the wonderment of silk screens

    that and all three signatures on one page (hopefully)

    NICE

    Went for the limited edition. I'm both a fan and a collector of PJ swag so it is right up my alley.

    the decision was easy..SE..$222.50 to good use!

    If you think about it, I'm sure many of you have purchased a PJ poster that you had to have for $60, $70, $80+...now you get them all with a bunch of cool extras in one effin book!

    Love it!

    I got an email from Ames and it was the same price. :)

    that is expensive.. but hey theats why you work so you can earn the money to buy this stuff! Least they have the $50 one as well so thats very reasonable if you can't afford the $200 one...
