Pagoda World Book, Volume III is [almost] here!
« on: September 23, 2024, 14:18:34 »
Note: subsequent announcements on this project will appear under the FULL MEMBER board forum. For those Associates and Guests, join now to have access to this information and ordering.

To all our members: Pagoda World Book, Volume III is [nearly] here. All the layout and design is completed, it has been proofread, and the files are at the printer. We will be ordering proof copies for the team to review and proceed from there. We began this process earlier this year for release as previously noted in Q3/Q4, right about now.

To those new or newer members unfamiliar with our "book projects", these are compiled copies of Pagoda World Magazine. We did Volume I (issues 1-10) and Volume II (issues 11-20) in 2020-2021. Volume III is issues 21-30, with issue dates of September 2017-March 2022.

As has been the past procedure we'll be taking PRE-ORDERS for a set period of time, probably three weeks in October. At the conclusion of the pre-order period, the order for print will be authorized, the books printed, and we expect fulfillment before the end of the year. As has also been the case in the past, just like our membership, payment is made by PayPal. You do NOT have to have a PayPal account in order to pay. We expect the price to be $80, postpaid worldwide for any full member.

If you have any questions, post them here and we'll endeavor to answer them.

Excellent looking forward to it.

Peter, Mike Simon, Patel and others, it's real and nearly here. My proof copy arrived yesterday, and JonnyB should get his soon, but he's at the Euro event.

I'm proofreading it now. It's big and beautiful. Nearly 300 pages, about 2 pounds, 10 ounces (1.2 kg) of Pagoda World beauty!
Truly amazing how far this group has come, and how fabulous the magazine has become.
