Gathering of the Figments

Figment · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 1:10 pm Post subject: When you get your poetry book...

How would you like it?

Laughing

We can do it Perfect bound(like a normal book), Coil bound (one of those spiral notebook styles), Or Hardcover with a dust jacket (which will cost more!)

So... Just wondering what you guys will probably be looking at, so I know how many of each style to order, and what prices I need to look at an such...

With all the finalization of covers, and form signing and such, we will be looking at a release in Feb.

Smile

I will be moving poems to the hidden section that are possibles for the books at the beginning of the year... So if you notice that "Poems" is suddenly quite empty, that is why...

You guys have about 1 day to get any more poems in that you would like to be in the book, so get posting!

If it's coil bound I'll commit suicide.

I like Hard Cover, but regular will be fine.

Lol, the main book wont be coil bound... But that is just in case someone likes that more... If no one requests it, there will be no coil bound...

Looking at the estimates, it will probably be about $15 for the book, or $25 if you want a hard cover...

Yes, coil bound is definitely a no. It reminds me of a notebook. Something that's not--really--finalized. Just scribbled down. Do know what I mean?

Yes.

GD IF YOU DON'T BUY IT I WILL KILL YOU SO BAD YOU WILL DIE TO DEATH!

My poems are in there.

You're going to have to buy it or the wedding's off.

I think regular will be cool.

I think you should talk to my mother about the whole permission stuff.

Yes, I know what you mean Michelle... That's why I don't really want one... But ya know, it's available... If anyone else gets it, i will probably get one too, just to have a special edition...

Any money made by the book will go into improving the forum...

And I am looking at getting it on Amazon and everything... So you can order it from me or from Amazon...

The coil bound book costs the same as the perfect bound book.

Then I think we should go with perfect bound! That would look so cool sitting on my coffee table...
*daydreams about buying a cool coffee table to go with the book*

I'm still unpicky. Whatever is cheaper for you. But if they're exactly the same, I'll be a conformist.

AHA! *IDEA*

Every five years or something, we can have a *Best of the Figments* Coffee Table book... And each Poem that makes it into the book would have a colour picture on the opposite page... They would be a special edition... Not available on Amazon...

How COOL would that be?!

Fricken awesome. If you ever want to steal one of my sparse poems for that just tell me. I'd gladly help fill up those pages.
