>"official" version with the cover everyone hates

>>5428662
stop shilling your shit cover
you
double
nigger

>>5428669
All the covers are shit except the first one that was made that actually displayed a tundra

fuck french faggots ruining everything

>>5428744
There were several cover variation made of that one. If you can link to the one you like, I'll include it (one b&w, one colour, on "value colour" if that's a thing, I'll work it out when I get there) when I sober up.

>>5428753
Variations*

Fuck it, I'll even do a version with the "blue" cover, we can see how many copies that sells beside the others.

Bump for the only LoTinaT that isn't trying to rip you off somehow.

>>5428654
Can anyone please explain me what exactly "color value version" means, besides it having colored typography on the inside? Is the paper or quality any different?

Who are you exactly to consider this a final version (no offense meant)? This means there are no longer any significant corrections to be made I pressume, down from the biggest to the smallest changes.

>>5428869
lulu offers value and standard (bookstore-quality) paper

The book on standard paper would cost far too much ($100+), but on value paper it costs a fraction of the price. I don't know what the paper quality is like as I don't have a copy

>why is this a final version
I just heard that it was the release from litwritesabook.com and they've been editing ever since I released the earlier editions

>>5428869
I assume the "color value" version is the version that has a cheap color done. So not as good as the actual color version but significantly cheaper.

I'm someone who's been overseeing the editing and seen the drop off in edits made recently (so feel I can say it's pretty much done) and is also annoyed at the attempt made to have an "official" version printed only under a particular, particularly ugly cover that /lit/ hasn't approved in any way, instead of the multitude of different covers that have been approved. Especially as the "official" cover claims it will make a profit in the name of some autism charity which is something that can easily be faked. I'll probably stick a link in my posts inviting people to donate but not forcing them to.

>>5428899
So your versions are as nicely formatted as his? Can you post a digital copy?

Thanks

wtf is this shit?
I've read 3 pages and it sounds like Nabokov wannabes.

>>5428914
Like I said repeatedly, I'll do it when I'm sober.

>>5428887
>>5428899

Thank you guys, gonna wait a bit for the input in case anyone knows exactly what kind of paper uses the color version, since I'd actually like to have that edition, as long as it's not too shitty.

>>5428928
Drunk OP here, I'll post as much information as I possibly can when I've sobered up. Waiting is sensible.

>>5428928
the first colour version was sold on the 10th, so can't be long now

>>5428928
stop shilling sage

>>5428662
why is it official, why the shitty cover?

>>5428940
Sure, gonna check back tomorrow, thanks.

>>5428950
Because they're trying to pretend that they'll sell it for more than the base price of printing it on the grounds that they'll donate the proceeds to some charity, but in fact keep it themselves. As the OP, I will upload as many different varieties of the cover as possible with black and white as well as varied color options but strongly encourage you to upload your own copies to buy them so you can be certain no-one is profiting off you.

bumping the actually non-profit thread

Bump this thread for the great cover/profit war of 2014! Tell your grandchildren you were there for the great bump war! Fight the regime!

Bumps this way for the great bump fight!
This is a Blazing Saddles reference.

This is going to be interesting when the ad starts running

>>5429007
anon plz stop

>>5429011
Joseph plz stop

Why does this new version only have 107,371 words? That's 3000 less words than the lulu one

bump for spaghetti

>>5429036
It's not the new version, you're looking at the temporary version that prompted the "official" money grabbing by posting "official" versions. The versions in the OP are ones posted by anons who've made their own, when I sober up I'll post the most recent versions including any sensible edits. This thread is a placeholder. If you don't trust anyone else, create your own version of the book and buy that, there's nothing to prevent you from doing so. Open each chapter and select "download as" whatever format you need.

>>5429066
You now realise that the fact that there is no definitive edition is part of the textuality.

>>5429084
That's exactly what I'm supporting. Someone is trying to make the shitty blue cover version the "definitive edition", the point of this thread is to allow for every other possible edition.

Okay, OP here: I'm off for now, it's in your hands to not let the faggots profit off you by bumping theirs shitty threads. You don't have to bump my thread or profligate the covers I like, just fuck with theirs.
Best wishes,

Yourselves.

Pardon my booze

>>5429137
Enjoy your drinking.

>>5429144
I fucking will. Feel free to criticise me for it or whatever but I will do my best to preserve the nonsense of this project against whatever Joseph Stallion or whomever brings up for their own profit.
