Aether Product Shots 02 - Final
PRODUCT SHOT 1 (of 4)
AETHER IS HERE!
...and if you hurry, you may be in time to get one before Anthrocon! (Just a thought).
The latest copy that I ordered has come through magnificently, and I couldn't be more proud of my colleagues. And by that, I mean everyone. This is not "my" book by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just the guy that put it together. This tome showcases hundreds of works from well over one hundred artists, and every page is brilliant. All in all, I can't believe it's finally here!
A long, painful haul to be sure, Aether symbolizes an important milestone for the fandom. One that places an overwhelming emphasis on the overall mood and flavor of the genre.

Oh my gosh... I must admit I had given up hope on it ever being brought to conclusion and print. o.o I am glad though I mwas mistaken.
Too bad about the price and the shipping costs though. As a European the shipping costs of Lulu are really a bugger.
Anyway, I am still proud of being part of this and I can't thank you enough for sticking faithfully to this projec and not dropping it!

lol you and 98% of the fandom! But it was this pessimism that motivated me, you see! Without it, I'd have no one to prove wrong!
I'm kidding of course. It was just a much rougher ride than I expected. That being said, I am very proud of how it turned out, and I hope others will agree.
The price is indeed yet another setback. When I originally priced this book out with Lulu's online price calculator, I was figuring about 190 to 200 pages. I also quoted it in 2005, when prices weren't so inflated for ink and paper. Fast forward to 2010 and add-on about 104 more pages, and you get one hefty edition. I wish I could bring this down a LOT more, but this is the lowest price Lulu will allow me to set, which just covers their printing costs. I don't make a single dime on it.
Shipping always seems to be a problem, I hear. Not much I can do about that I'm afraid.
All in all, thanks for the feedback! I hope all is well with you!

As I stated above to Omega, the price is indeed yet another setback for Aether. When I originally priced this book out with Lulu's online price calculator, I was figuring about 190 to 200 pages which was coming up just shy of $50. I also quoted it in 2005, when prices weren't so inflated for ink and paper. Fast forward to 2010 and add-on about 104 more pages, and you get one hefty edition. I wish I could bring this down a LOT more, but this is the lowest price Lulu will allow me to set, which just covers their printing costs. I don't make a single dime on it.
I'm going to post a journal today with an idea which may at least offset some of the angst on this topic.
