Cool, that makes you and 40hz. Four others should be receiving theirs soon. Carroll's was going to Tennessee. She may have gotten hers today or will likely get it tomorrow (I'm just adjacent to her, to the north). The two going to Canada may take longer, dunno. Mouser, did yours arrive yet?

I should receive six paperbacks about Thursday 22nd or Friday 23rd.

* one of superboyac
* one for Perry Mowbray
* one for local library
* one apiece for two fellow church members
* one for a neighbor of my parents

4wd, do you want an autographed copy?

Why not, any idea what the postage to non Nth America was going to be?

Only thing I have to go by so far is that Canada was $11.95 USD for media rate mail (the cheapest). Bear in mind that, as one of my proofreaders, I won't be charging you for the book.

Cool, rgdot! That's three of you who've received your book! 40hz and cranioscopical also got theirs.

I see you just took that picture in the past 15 minutes...

rgdot · « **Reply #81 on:** August 21, 2013, 01:34 AM »

Yes
And the camera is super high quality too

Now, after each of you has read the book and decided that it rocks, go to your local library and insist they buy a copy for lending to members

@rgdot: Note that the envelope's interior bubbles should still be in good shape. Excellent for putting all kinds of delicate items in (as long as you don't sit on it by accident).

I wonder if, say, 50 years from now, some teenager will dig a copy of the paperback out of dear old grandpappy's closet or attic chest and, upon reaching the "About the Author" in the back and reading all the references to DonationCoder, will try to find this site on the Internet. And if so, it'll still be here, without a doubt, correct? 100 years from now it'll still be here (mouser, you do have a place in your will for the continuance of DC by a staff of dedicated techie-members, down through the generations, right?)

rgdot · « **Reply #85 on:** August 21, 2013, 01:58 AM »

Good idea about the bubbles, thanks.

By the way, in 50 years internet will only be available via google glass

kyrathaba · « **Reply #86 on:** August 21, 2013, 02:08 AM »

Nah, Google will be bought out and dissolved when Yahoo, Apple and Microsoft merge into Yapplesoft. They'll soak up all the search enginecruft and discontinue any Google appliances.

^ But only because their parent company, Amazon, insists upon it, to protect its Kindle investment.

Indeed.

superboyac, your book is addressed and sealed in a bubble envelope and I will post it tomorrow. Perry, same for yours. 4wd, yours will have to come from the next batch of books I order.

No problem, how do you want payment?

Can I use up some DC credits?

kyrathaba · « **Reply #98 on:** August 22, 2013, 04:04 AM »

DC creds are fine. PM me your address. Hold off on the credits till the book arrives and I can accurately figure shipping.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #99 on:** August 25, 2013, 07:53 PM »

4wd, I've ordered a total of eight more books. Four of them are going to people in USA. Of the other four, I've set one aside to ship to you, if you still want an autographed copy. Since you put considerable effort into proofreading, why don't we discount the entire cost of the book, and have you only reimburse me for shipping/handling? Is that acceptable? I know you're in Australia, but you'd need to PM me a mailing address. The cost to ship the book to Australia is $18.60, based on my experience shipping Perry's copy.

So, if you want an autographed copy, just PM me your mailing address and you can DC credit me $18.60 USD.
