I've railed against the PDFs that other game companies produce time and again. I've even offered to pro bono take their PDFs and at least add bookmarks and indices. I'll buy the PDF of Carcosa just to encourage this type of professional use of electronic format publications (and probably wouldn't have considered the purchase otherwise.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508594597349248576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-82338378692746532912011-11-30T21:16:21.753+02:002011-11-30T21:16:21.753+02:00I can't say for sure until the books show up a...I can't say for sure until the books show up and I get the exact weight, but I'm thinking 14,50€ for 2nd class shipping to addresses outside Europe.

Good to read it is being realised in Carcosa.Melanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165894144553629675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-79683816031839875822011-11-30T19:35:51.982+02:002011-11-30T19:35:51.982+02:00I'm told the books will arrive Monday.

We're running low on shipping supplies and I have to go to the supplier (likely Wednesday) with Isle in hand to figure out what the best envelope/box is for that one since I've got nothing for that size book at the moment.JimLotFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992397707040836366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-47048335061317883602011-11-30T19:25:36.725+02:002011-11-30T19:25:36.725+02:00BTW, Carcosa and the Isle look great so far.
