PR The Book of Unusual Treasures

[philreed]

Coming in December!

The Book of Unusual Treasures is a 100+ page 6” x 9” perfect-bound book, complete with color cover. This book compiles and expands upon the material found in 101 Spellbooks, 101 Mundane Treasures, and 101 Arcane Spell Components. User feedback has shaped the contents of this book and everyone who has already purchased the PDFs is being offered:

$3.00 off for each PDF purchased. If you’ve already purchased all 3 of the PDFs this book draws its material from you pay only $9.00, a savings of $9.00! (The book will be priced at $18.00.)

All orders made by December 1st receive free shipping.

A chance to receive credit in the book! Everyone who e-mails me comments on the 3 PDFs by Tuesday November 26th will be given playtest credit in the book. Playtesters can purchase the book for $8.00. I wish I could give playtesters copies but since this is a self-published project costing me hundreds of dollars I just can’t afford it.

This is a limited edition printing of 100 copies, signed and numbered by the author. If the book is ever reprinted it will be with a different cover and not in a limited, signed run.

To order send a PayPal payment to philip@philipjreed.com for the exact amount. To determine the amount:

Own 0 PDFs -- $18.00
Own 1 PDF -- $15.00
Own 2 PDFs – 12.00
Own 3 PDFs – 9.00
Send Playtest Comments -- $8.00

Shipping US -- $3.00
Shipping International -- $5.00

Before December 1st pay no shipping!

The book will be available late December. There’s a slim chance copies will ship before Christmas but I’m at the mercy of the printer.

Congratulations

I think it's wonderful that your PDF's are going to print and as soon as I wake the other half, I'll be buying a copy. I've bought all three of your 101 PDF's and I'll love having all three in a single reference.

More Information

All of the books from 101 Spellbooks have been given gp values. And reordered.

The books from A Dozen Free Spellbooks are included.

All of the information is restructured and integrated. Example: The "book" items from 101 Mundane Treasures are now with the books from 101 Spellbooks.

More feats and spells have been added.

The poisons and feats have been pulled from the book descriptions and given their own sections. I've added the poisons from the free PDF Assassin's Guide to Poisons to the book.

This will be available from my website only. I have chatted with a few publishers about doing a print edition for stores but as of now nothing has come of that. The flood of D20 products in stores makes me think that this will be the only time this material is printed.

Must playtest this soon, this is a cool idea, I will have to own a copy. Congrats Phil.

So what happens if you get more than 100 pre orders? Do you kick it up or ?

Ah, the dreaded possibilities of the PPC! (Production Possibility Curve to the rest of you!)

 

[philreed]

More than 100 orders . . .

The limit is 90. The other 10 are going to some people and being archived.

Once I get 90 orders I'll announce that it's no longer available.

Any discounts if we buy more than one copy? I'm thinking that it might make a good X-Mas or near X-Mas present for some of my amigos who aren't too hip to the wonders of the internet.

Sorry, no discounts . . .

I just can't afford to discount these things more than I have. I don't mind not making _much_ money (this wasn't a huge amount of work and it's more of a "thanks" to everyone who supported my PDFs) but I need to not lose any money.

Not hip to the internet? I'm always amazed at the number of people who don't use the net.

Okay, I lied . . .

I've made some arrangements and can, in fact, offer discounts for multiple copies.

I'll make it something simple like $9 for each copy after the first.

This is only valid until December 1st.

Cool, letting all my friends know. Maybe I can talk another 2 or 3 into ordering.
