A much as I like Larry's art the cost of shipping is just a wee bit too high for me. I'd have loved to participate otherwise...

You don't say... At $48 for international shipping, it'd better be coffee table size larger than my coffee table could take.

But it seems to have been popular among the locals and those who are willing to pay twice more for shipping alone than I can expect to float past customs total come next year. So kudos for another KS well funded 8)

Lovely idea, but the postage alone is almost the price of the book.
I'll wait till it shows up on Amazon.

I bought a book on Tibetan Art last year (from the UK) that turned out weighed over 4lbs. And that is over the limit that the Royal Mail accepts so it had to be shipped by courier service. I'm not sure how much this will weigh but I think 300+ pages is probably a good 1-1/2" inches think, plus the leather cover...

Thank you for the heads-up Sir Barnaby. I got in just under the wire. I remembered to place my order just 21 minutes before it expired.

You are very welcome. Note I think he is still accepting orders (probably via PayPal) for the basic book without any extras. IIRC, he said he expected to have some surplus from the printers. Not sure how happy that makes people who where hoping for something collectible - sorta dilutes the pool a bit, but there you go.

Yeah, but do the new guys get to ride motorcycles with Larry Elmore?
(OK, so I can't either since I don't own one and I don't know how to ride.)
