Title: Autographed copies of the book
Post by: saint on May 09, 2004, 08:54:43 pm
By request I will autographing copies of the book. I have 10 on order with Amazon that will arrive in a few days, and will then be able to autograph and send them out (I'll order more if/when needed). There's no extra cost - you'll need to pay the cost of the book from Amazon (currently $20.39), cost of the padded mailer envelope, and cost of shipping via US Post Office. I'll know shipping costs hopefully tomorrow - books will be sent out media mail which is a flat fee I believe.

There will be a PayPal link posted in this message when I'm ready to send out autographed books. If you have something in particular you want the autograph to say along with my name, note that in the PayPal comment field.

Warning - I'll make it to the post office only once per week, so getting an autographed copy from me will be slower than buying it direct from a book seller.

If you've already purchased a copy and want it autographed, send me a private email (not PM) to saint@arcadecontrols.com, with subject "PROJECT ARCADE - AUTOGRAPH" and we'll work out getting it signed. You'll have to pay shipping both ways.

Thanks to everyone whose expressed interest in the book!

Autographed copies are now available for purchasing for $24 via PayPal. I have 10 in stock so they can ship by this Friday if you're looking to get an autographed copy. Of course, it's much faster simply to walk into a local Barnes and Noble :)

Anyway, if you'd like an autographed copy, visit the Autograph Ordering Page (http://www.projectarcade.com/autograph.html).

Thanks!

Can you ship them outside the USA - to New Zealand? Or would I be best to just go to Amazon?

I just paid $30+ for the book at Barnes & Noble. I should have checked here first and I could have purchased and autographed copy cheaper.

I hope saint gets more $$ for me paying more. :)

hey there Saint! ... I was just about to buy this book from Amazon.ca and thought I should check the board first ... boy am I glad I did ...

any chance you'd be able to ship an autographed copy to Toronto, Canada?  My postal code is L6Y3V1 for shipping calculation ... just let me know how much it is and I'll paypal it over!

Sure can. I think it's about $5 extra. I'm going to the post office to send out a few tomorrow, I'll check then.

I got a question; where do you autograph it?  On the cover or inside?  I've heard people talk that the cover peels and curls.  It would suck if your writing was damaged...

On the front of the first page, not the inside cover :)

What would be the cost of sending one of these to Australia?
Postcode 2650, if that helps you to calculate. Also, please include P&H in total cost. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work Saint!!!

I too had already bought the book B&N style... 30 bux (B&N markup) and no autograph by the excellent St.Clair.

good book though, wasnt going to buy it cuz i'm fairly 'net savvy and figured i'd just get all the info that route, but i bought it for reading material during a long trip, and i'm glad i did, i think having the info hardcopy style is and will be very handy as i research (since you can have it when you dont have the net or wish to rest your retinaburned eyes) plus theres actually info in the book & CD that i noticed i couldnt get on the net anymore due to  dropped urls etc.
If you're researching your future mame project  i feel its a must have. Again if for no other reason but to feed your hunger for mame arcade cab knowledge even when you're away from the 'net.

thx for the good book!

@Hi Saint!

Do you have any autographed copies left? If so, could you please give me a quote for the book and sending it to South Australia, Australia (post code 5075)
