Finished versions for Amazon (center) and Lulu (right). Updated the front page to explain the differences.

The Lulu version (right) is the same as the Amazon but with a nice coil binding.

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

I reshaped the document for Amazon printing and got the proof today. Here are the results side by side with the first coil version. IMG_6423.jpg Not bad. Especially since the printing is so cheap. IMG_6422.jpg I had to move around some of the color images because they cannot print inside the cover. ...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Whew! Relief. Ok, let me respond to a few posts and then update you all on the current plan. I must have missed much of the thread, i beg your pardon: is there a downloadable pdf of the book, so that poor EU people can peruse it on the PC or phone, or use a local print service? TIA I will always kee...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

@Jeff I'm interested to get one copy, I'm in Canada. Maybe I missed something in the thread but I can't find the way to proceed. Thanks for your interest in the project. We are still trying to figure out how to deliver them at a reasonable cost. We may need to set up a Canadian distributor. I’ll up...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Ok, here's the story of my day so far. First visit (you know this is going to be bad if there's more than one visit), I waited in a long line with all docs completed and asked a manager(?) on my turn. They told me padded envelopes are considered packages. They inspected my mailers, then showed me an...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Hmm, I checked the USPS-site and entered your dimensions. The the cheapest I could find was "First-Class Mail International" ($13.50 to Germany, $6.03 to Canada). ... Finallly at the very bottom is the $13.50 option. Do not trust the post office people or even the website to point you to ...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

You're awesome! I would suggest polling for people in your general area range. Perhaps modify the specs to be cost effective for a very small batch. My printer was all in American units, so I am just estimating standard metrics. "Digest" size 5.5"x8.5" inches (21.59 x 13.97 cm) 1...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Shipping is crazy. Media rates only seem to be available for domestic mail. I am still investigating ways to bring the international price down. ... Here's what the final prices would be: UPDATE: :cry: I was wrong. A decade ago, I shipped all Denial members gift packaages of game tapes and disks. I...

Re: Suggestions, please!

If the audience is familiar with the 64, I would suggest popular variations like Gridrunner or Omega Race because they look so different on a VIC.

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Shipping is crazy. Media rates only seem to be available for domestic mail. I am still investigating ways to bring the international price down. Because of subtle variations in postage, tariffs, packaging requirements, etc., I think it may be better to "bundle" shipping with the price of t...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Looks great. That looks awesome! Since it will certainly be a well-used book, heavier/more durable is better. Congratulations, looks awesome 🤩 Thanks, everyone! For the praise, but mostly for the support and all the work you put into this. Looks great!. Are you, finally,sending abroad or just in th...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

cover.jpg Relieved to finally receive the book today: just a small batch, enough to cover the requests. interior1.jpg I ordered the heaviest paper stock (the book is heavy!). I'm not yet sure about my choice to have glossy pages. I may consider matte if there's another print run. interior128.jpg in...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

The project is with the printers now (with minor typography adjustments from the last draft). It will be a small run. I'll update when I get them in my hands. If all looks ok, I will begin maiingl them right away.

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

From what I gather "global distribution" means that the book is available through Amazon and such: https://help.lulu.com/en/support/solutions/articles/64000255456 I think if you buy through Lulu directly the restrictions above do not apply for international customers. It's just if you wan...
