Special announcement coming this Wednesday at 10am BST

Now you're intriguing me, PJ...

A pre-order opportunity for the forthcoming edition of Orlam? Or did that happen already?

It's indeed for Orlam, the illustrated edition cover is blue it's out November 10, there's also going to be a new Orlam mug

"The Orlam Special Edition contains an additional 48 pages and 24 illustrations by the author. The cover is a fine textured paper with aged gold-foil embellishment."

very expensive signed test print of the book cover coming along... i'll pass this time, it's limited to 40

Six different colours and only £300 each - Ouch!
Not sold out yet ...
Makes the book look cheap at £30 I suppose.

Yeah it was indeed an Orlam special edition related announcement, you basically already said everything that was written in the mail.

Delivery expenses from the UK to where I live are outrageous, almost the same price of the book itself. Bloody hell.

Same thing to here in Italy, that's why i buy her stuff from "third parties", like online shops or actual musical shops.

Thanks for that Orange Monkey.

I've the original book but now will double-dip for this new edition. I should've waited. Fan = fanatic.

My "illustrated Orlam" arrived this morning, 3 days before the publication date.

The pictures are mostly in four blocks added into the original book. There are no titles or any further explanation of how the pictures relate to the individual poems so as usual with Polly it is left as an exercise for the student to work out the significance of each item.

Interesting.

I'm on the fence so far. Like I mentioned earlier, I have the original.

I didn't have the original so that helped with the decision. And I found it on offer for just over £20 so that helped my decision a lot.
I'm not sure the pictures add a huge amount if you already have the original. And we have seen a few of the best ones posted online by Polly.
