What's your Ptolus number?

[Toscadero]

#527. My wife called me yesterday to let me know. And counting DaveMage's copy, it is at least the second one to make it to Gainesville FL.

Post it when you know!

I do not know what happened. I paid for it on thursday 8/25 and have a reciept to prove it. I got number 38 and the reciept from them says the 8/31. Kinda of a let down I thought I was going to get in the top 10. Did this happen to anyone else?

no number
didn't order

Did you feel left out or are you just trying to get your post count up?

I'm curious who got the lowest number outside of Monte's group. I'll tip my hat to him or her.

I think that you may find yourself looking into the mirror for that one DaveMage!

Neither. I just answered the question.

Post count means nothing to me.

That's weird. Did you pay by credit card? If so, maybe there was an issue with your credit card's bank. (I'm just guessing wildly here.)

IIRC, I did order as soon as I saw I could, but I have a feeling one of the Malhavoc board regulars beat me to it.

So, I've been checking the front porch for the past week, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the book. After a splendid evening with the wife watching the DCI Quarterfinals, we come home to, alas, no book on the porch. My wife rolls her eyes, and I take the babysitter home. After dropping her off, I park the van in the garage, and, Lo! and Behold! a cardboard box, beat to Hell and back, is leaning up against the back garage door. The back door. Behind the freakin' house! How long has it been there?

Opening the box gingerly, I know that all that will be inside is a vaugely Ptolus-like mass of mangled paper and ink. The book is unharmed. Only one corner is a bit smushed, another is creased but it is only visible to close inspection.

#651/1000, May 5, 2006.

# 514 (ordered Apr 16th)

One dint to the bottom right corner, but otherwise fine.

I love the embossed cover and the book is massive. It's like an encyclopedia. Really good binding (with attached ribbon book marks), plus four pullout cardboard bookmarks!

Very cool (and worth every cent!)
