My copy's on order - can't wait.

Sewer Sirens Podcast · 06-03-2014, 05:35 PM

We are interviewing Andrew Farago (the author of this book) this Sunday. If anyone has any questions they'd like us to ask him about the book, be sure to PM me. Would love to hear if there's anything you guys would be interested in knowing before the books out.

*IMJ* · 06-03-2014, 08:38 PM

My first thought was "how ultimately visual can this thing really be at only 184 pages?"

Seriously.

John Pannozzi · 06-05-2014, 01:53 PM

Here's a new interview about the book.

I thought the same, I mean £35 for 184 pages seems alot, I would have thought it be at least 300 or more

In fact why is it so short?

Book launch is Saturday, June 14 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco! Guests include Mark and Molly Bode, Ken Mitchroney, Ciro Nieli, Irineo Maramba, Felipe Smith, me, and the Turtles themselves, live and in costume. Hope you can make it!

We packed a lot of history and a lot of art into the book, and there's a lot of content in the 192 pages. Plus a reprint of TMNT #1, shot from the original art, and that's 40 pages that aren't even reflected in the book's page count. A 400-page book would be great, but it would have taken another year to assemble artwork that was on par with what made the cut for this book, and it would have been a $100 hardcover. As it is, I think you'll be really impressed with what made it into the book.

*pennydreadful* · 06-07-2014, 09:56 PM

Looking forward to it Andrew - I'm sure it'll be great.

*Powder* · 06-07-2014, 10:57 PM

Super excited for this still, wondering if I'm gonna have my copy before the release date but I dunno. I wanna read it already!

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 06-08-2014, 01:40 AM

Awesome, thanks for the update Andrew. I just can not wait to get my hands on this!

*Raph* · 06-08-2014, 03:04 AM

I pre-ordered it as well.
Still pretty sad about the fact that I could have contributed to the book as well. I couldn't acces my hotmail account for many months and when I read that Andrew wanted to use some stuff from my autograph site it was already to late.

Andrew Farago · 06-12-2014, 04:20 PM

Finally got my first copy of the book, and it looks great!

There are 192 pages of images, a 40-page replica comic book, a poster, and at least 20 bound-in extra pics, including the first Mirage press release, fan club letters, and other fun stuff. Fans are going to go nuts when they see it.

*Zulithe* · 06-12-2014, 05:19 PM

Amazon just updated my order, it now says it will be here June 18th instead of June 26th.

Btw forgot to say, very great listen, like I said my book was shipped yesterday, so I should get it today, but more likely Saturday.

joefsas · 06-13-2014, 02:33 AM

All the extra stuff that comes with the book, like the replica comic book and poster etc. Is that only included with pre-orders or is it all part of the package?

*Mayhem* · 06-13-2014, 03:39 AM

It's all part of the book...
