Got my copy today, the book is very very nice really enjoyed going through it

Pigwidgeon · 19-11-2008 7:45pm

have to say the standard of photos is excellent, and i'm even more embarrased now by my photo than after seeing the preview!

PixelTrawler · 19-11-2008 8:34pm

Looking at the scan of the names there i thought ye had got my name wrong but theres 3 Morgans!

As for the book, mine is due to ship today so hopefully i have it by the end of next week. Im really looking forward to getting it

Ah, everyone is their own worst critic- can't be as bad as mine!

ike · 19-11-2008 8:47pm

Mine arrived today and it looks very impressive would hold its own against any similiar publication - well done again to all involved.

CabanSail · 19-11-2008 9:14pm

Must admit I am curious as to how my pic printed too. It's the Hapenny Bridge reflected in the Liffey

That's one of the ones that stood out for me (and for the record, it reminds me of Monet too).

Can't wait for next years.................:)

The_Conductor · 20-11-2008 9:52am

My order status is still "Processing"......??

Cabaal · 20-11-2008 10:03am

Got my copy today in the post, don't have the page to hand but there appears to be a photo that looks like its supposed to be portrait but its in landscape its of waves and the sea, everything else seems fine and quality is pretty good

City-Exile · 20-11-2008 11:49am

My mum sent me a text to say my books have arrived.
I just know she's at home, picking away at the packaging, so I'd better ring her to tell her she can open it up.

moralproduction · 20-11-2008 2:08pm

how many has been sold in total so far ?

dying for mine to come it shipped yesterday

Vexorg · 20-11-2008 2:37pm

Yup Would be interesting to know how many were ordered.

PaulieC · 20-11-2008 2:58pm

I collected mine this morning from the PO. Looks very impressive - I haven't actually opened yet, but it will look lovely on the shelf

Eeep, sounds like my one. It's mean to be landscape, is it this image:

My one shipped on the 11th but still waiting for it, unless it's down at the reception and I haven't been notified. Hmmm...

Nope, it's 'a wave to curse the sun' by Aidan O'Brien.. I'd say?

DeVore · 20-11-2008 4:00pm

I'm amazed we got over 100 sales... cant wait for mine, I think I might go into the Boards.ie cupboard-cum-office and take a gander at the spare copies Vex has

DeV.

whyulittle · 20-11-2008 4:14pm

My book arrived today, a full two weeks after it was shipped!!

As for the wave to curse the sun, the photo is supposed to be like that. That's the whole point of it.

that's an incredible figure especially considering the amount of regulars on the photography forum wouldn't account for that.

top job everyone that was involved, really looking forward to getting mine, it was shipped on the 19th so i'm itching to get my grubby hands on it (don't worry gloves shall be worn whilst flicking through the book :pac:)

Hi CrowdedHouse, I guess you have me a your neighbour, Cool dog, the kids loved it.
Well done to everyone involved.

City-Exile · 21-11-2008 10:03am

I'm guessing my neighbour is either Hugh W.P. Hamill, or Alex Rumjancevs?
My pic is titled, "Disbelief"!

Just to put the sales in perspective.

I was at a Martin Parr lecture recently and he was asked about book sales. "500 copies is an excellent sales number for a photograph related book".

So well done all.

More likely that I'm on the back of your page, Hugh.
I have good neighbours on both sides anyway.

DDG shipment arrived into Dublin yesterday evening, hopefully they are out for delivery today.

They've just landed here about 10 minutes ago

The delivery bloke is a boards user

*waves*

We should all thank him for lugging that weight inside. Talking of which, I'll need help to carry them from car to launch site when the time comes - will be looking for two volunteers in the day. The boxes are a handy enough size - they're just bloody heavy.

Seems a little freeky no?

I wonder if they knew about it? Imagine their surprise when they see a huge stack of books to deliver on a Friday afternoon with Boards.ie on the front cover

It didn't say boards.ie on it, but he asked what Blurb was, so I told him what we were doing - he helped me open one of the boxes and I mentioned that it's on the top link of Boards

cooligPhoto · 21-11-2008 2:36pm

Did you sell him a copy???

Thoie · 21-11-2008 2:39pm

I was thinking of it - I'd ordered two copies for myself - one for me, and one to use for advertising in a hotel (have attached one of the posters to it and will leave it lying around). I could have sold him one of my own, but decided to let him order himself

Ponster · 21-11-2008 2:48pm

Hmmm...I wonder if he's reading this now but won't reply in case Thoie reveals his real identity !!!
