Congratulations to you both, Ryan and Nick, on the completion and publication of your Magnum Opus! 
I know that a lot of hard work went into this. I’m really impressed with the E.M. Tech Explained article, beautifully illustrated. A picture is worth a thousand words. Please allow me the honor of being the first Pinsider to let you know that I will be buying a copy - such a bargain at only $15.00!
WOW! The USPS sure dropped the pin-ball on this one. 
It ain't fair, I tell you! It ain't right, I tell you! Ryan and Nick stepped way over the line to do something good for the pinball community and on their first issue they get tilted! Why is it that no good deed goes unpunished? 
I know Ryan well enough to know that a silly thing like the money, even $1500.00 of inventory, wouldn't stop him on his quest to bring this enlightening and educational Coin-Op Carnival: Electrifying Tales of Mechanical Contraptions book to the masses. It's good to see that this 'TILT' does not disqualify a player and you are back in the game. Bravo to you sirs!
I have been waiting for the initial rush of book orders to be finished before I ordered my copy. And now it is time. I want you to know that I will be sending you a little extra for my book. It's not a lot but it will help, if only a little, to defray the costs of your loss. If the impossible happens, and the books show up, please keep the money and use it for your second edition.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Nick and I are truly humbled by your sentiments, but, Pecos (and anyone else), we are doing just fine and please please please DO NOT send us extra cash.
In that case, I ordered two copies. One for myself, of course, and one that I will be taking down to D&D Pinball for everyone to peruse before buying their OWN copy. If you have never been to D&D Pinball, what are you waiting for? One good reason to visit is to play my Black Knight that I brought down there on Friday. And after the Coin-Op Carnival: Electrifying Tales of Mechanical Contraptions book arrives and I can get it down there, you have another reason to visit. END - self-serving plug for D&D pinball.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:So, please, put your extra cash toward that great Tucson route you're developing! We'd rather see the extra dough put toward perfecting your public games than lining our pockets.
Thanks, I will be placing an order for Pinitech LED displays soon and I will be thinking of both of you.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:So, I went in for press check at 8am this morning. The printers were running our book on their two big presses, one for the covers and one for the interiors. Here's the start with the paper being fed on the right side:
For someone who likes 'How Do They Make It' shows, it is awesome to see exactly how these books are made! Thanks for the inside peek!
Does this mean that I now have two valuable first edition copies of Coin-Op Carnival: Electrifying Tales of Mechanical Contraptions?
