Ehhh ?? Surely you can talk to Royal Mail or at the weekend see your postman to nicely ask him not to damage it ? Much easier to do that then to cancel both subscriptions and miss out !

I would love to hear some feedback on this too :)

There was some amazing feedback on the product on the Nintendo Life web site, which was brilliant to read and really validated everyones hard work on the project.

Just back from hols and got my issue. Not had time to read much of the content, but the print quality is outstanding. Very thick glossy pages and all the images used seem to be sharp (which is more than RG managed in the early days - quite a few fuzzy jpegs made it into the original RG).

Thats Antiriad, was very pleased with the quality of printing :D Someone has commented how great it is as a carry about book too, which is all part of the appeal.

Just to let everyone know, that Pixel Nation #1 is now into its second print run. Lorfarious is offline this week after moving house, and i wanted to tell everyone ( on his behalf ) who purchased the book thus far... " thankyou sincerely for all your support "

Still got to order mine, from what I've seen it looks pretty slick. :)

My ludite (retro loving) nature is complicating things a tad though as the pixel nation website just doesn't work correctly on my computer (sigh). Win 98... still love it. ;)

Have you considered simultaneously selling on Ebay? (he asked hopefully)... I actually checked hoping to find it. :lol:
