I got the book!!!

So oddworldly, reminds me how great the world of odd is,and full of life. The evroments for Stranger are pretty amazing, a bit Arimicaninsh. And it's cool that the Stormcirlce uses it's energy and passing it to the meetle to destroy or get rid of an induastral factle.

And logos are wounder, just look at the "Munch. The Hart" Great ideas.

And now I know why Abe has 5 horizontal lines.

Merry Christmas Fans!
It makes me very happy that you all enjoy the book. We worked really hard on it and did it just for the fans. Thank you for your support.

There is NO land of NOD.

It's a really fantastic book. Facinating. It had so much more in that I expected, which was really cool.

tought so, but thank you for making it official :D

In that case give my that bagde of honor OT, no article for you! Thanks AA! Wait OT you said that info came from that thing right, that must mean that guy is a non-helpful source, that means we will have to burn his house for making remove something from the Unoffical Oddworld Magizine. I got the Hardcover and Stranger's Wrath pre-ordered for Christmas and know I have all 3 editions, and have all the Oddworld games including the Gamewboy versions

lol, I got mine copy a coupl of weeks ago and I got grubby fingerprints all over it. :crying:. But then again I would have only kept it in pristine condition if I was planning on reselling again-of which I have no intention at all. A well fingerprinted book is a well read book ;)

I got mine on Christmas Day and I have to say that this book is amazing! The art in it is absolutely outstanding and I just couldn't believe how beautiful the images were! I'm so happy that I was able to buy it!!! :)

I got mine for Christmas and am really afraid of ripping it. This is the best care I've ever taken of a book in my life. It's one of the only times I've got a book that is interesting om my life.

You know when you read the book it seems like you are almost in a dream, it shows the complexity of Oddworld, which can not be shown by a simple game

I Am Not Worthy
 

Now that's a great way to put it! I was dressed all gothic X-Mas morn, and when I unwrapped the book, I was actually SMILING! I read the whole book that day, and loved it. The images are so gorgeous and detailed. I am not worthy enough to touch it with my mortal hands. And same here, I don't think I've EVER taken such good care of a book... *Looks over shoulder at her burning math book*

-Alien Guardian

so what... I'm dressed gothic all the time for years now, and you can ask all my friends, I'm smiling most of the time...

but yeah, that Book made me Smile even more :D

Its a kind of mixture of overwhelling excitement and joy when you see that cardbord box that says /ballastic/ on the front of the box, then you tear into the box to see the great dream in your hands, it causes this kind of cold sore cracking smile that results in jumping around the room

I took care opening the box. Wouldn't want to damage the book. Not in a milliard years.

My book was already damaged when I got it...one of it's corners was bent and squashed in the post...drat...

Awwww, that has to suck! I'm sorry that happened to you. :( It was very fortunate that mine was in top shape when it arrived. I was a bit worried because the delivery people in my town don't take care of anything, so mine could have just as easily been torn up as well!

Of corse I didn't actually tear into it, I got out me Operation board game, broke the twecers off and, with rubber gloves on, removed the almighty tome of greatness

Haha, good work.

Hey look, it's Xav's and my interview with the founder and director of Ballistic Publishing, Dr Mark Snoswell. :D Don't forget Alcar's interview with him, and Xav's and my interview with Oddworld Inhabitants's creative services manager Cathy Johnson.

Ooh, bad luck. I accidently dropped my book against my windowsill and there's a slight dent at the top. I think I dropped it because I was trying not to damage it in the first place. :( :confused:

Interesting interview, it is very interesting! Incognito, that is a real down-er.

Great find atusiya! Good work.

Well it was fun.

Is it true the limited edition version is signed by Lorne Lanning and Sherry Mckenna? Because someone is selling it on ebay and they say it is signed by Lorne and Sherry.

Not all of them. Maybe he was just able to meet them and get them to sign it. Probably a journalist.

Ok then, thanks for telling me NDW.

Or mabye he's talking about the 'Authentican Slip' thingie that says what Limited edition no. you got.

MY MUM GOT GREASE ON MY LIMITED EDITION! :eek: Must buy paperback to read, now!

Maybe. But all it says is that it's signed by Lorne Lanning and Sherry Mckenna.

mabey he got it from the G4 thing- like Oddguy.

People who answered a trivia question got a signed book

He could of. Also can anyone tell me when I should be getting my book? I live in Perth, Australia and Ballistic Publishing is in South Australia and I sent the money away on monday the 16th.

Took me 2 weeks to arrive, and I'm in NZ. So, mabye a couple more days?

(P.S, I had to go to the post office to pick it up because they're lazy peoples...)

Thanks, Super Munch.

I was wondering if the book has anything about Sligstorm?

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss! I just ordered it!

*Does the happy dance.*

What edition? Hardcover,soft or limited?

There is no reference to Sligstorm in the book, unfortunately. In any of the editions. but iif you intend to read the book without protected gloves, I suggest buying the soft-cover. :p

Too bad, I was hoping for something to do with Sligstorm.

I'm going to email Ballistic. This is no longer funny.

Why? Haven't you got your book yet?

No, I haven't.

Harcover. No way am I shelling out 200-some-odd bucks for a fancy cover, no matter how much respect I have for the Oddworld crew.

Hardover is only about $10 more, and as hardcovers last longer than soft covers, they are a much better buy!

Side Note: Oddworld Inhabitants, I don't know if you go to these forums or not, but please bare in mind that if I run into your headquarters, expect an eccentric, "madman," running around, asking for signatures on his Art of Oddworld Inhabitants from everybody or whatnot. I just thought it fair to warn you in advance...
