Request regarding the Art book
 

I'm trying to correct the information about the Art of Oddworld Inhabitants on Goodreads.com, but unfortunately my copies are both in a box, in a warehouse, near a dock somewhere. I'd like to know the ISBNs of the softcover, hardcover, and folio editions. If you've got one of the above, can you please go to your bookshelf and check?

Normally I'd check Amazon about this sort of thing, but this page says hardcover in one place and softcover in another.

Is there an interesting story behind it?

Also, what's wrong with your avatar?

Hard cover is 1-921002-02-6
Soft is 1-921002-03-4
Folio is 1-921002-00-X
Collector's is 1-921002-01-8

Not especially.

I don't know. What's wrong with your eyes?

Thanks!

They've stopped flipping occasionally

It hasn't flipped for ages. Years, I think.


jaw_alex: Are you able to give me publication dates?

Just says (on this one) First Edition Published in Australia 2004 by Ballistic Publishing

Thanks. I managed to find the original thread posted after it arrived in the mail. November 2004, apparently. And the Folio edition in 2009.

Strange, that's not exactly what is mentionned on Ballistic's website:
http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/

1-921002-01-8: Limited Edition
978-1-921002-02-1: Hard Cover
978-1-921002-00-7: Folio

I just copied what's inside the book (hard cover).

Turns out both are right:

;)

I can confirm that my hardcover edition has the same info posted by jaw_alex.

Congratulation, you know how to open a .gif file.

He even learned how to make a screenshot. And how to post it. MM's improved a lot.

We'll get him back to full functionality eventually.

Last time Nate animated his avatar he denied it for weeks. I played along then, but I'm nipping this in the bud.

I might just make a tutorial on how to do animated avatars. Then make the tutorial video into a .gif and use it as my avatar.

Sadly you can't use a GIF as an avatar, the forum doesn't let you.

Nate can because he's an admin and a power-tripping jerk

Then how did STW?

There's a super secret method hidden in the bowls of an old FSnH thread, which involved quite possibly the most disgusting of all animated avatars.

It's not really officially supported by all browsers if memory serves, but it is possible to do for people other than Nate.

e: It's just animated gifs that aren't allowed. I'm fairly sure the filter can tell if there's more than 1 frame or not.

Also this is the thread and the method was deleted by Nate. Worth a read, even if it will just make us all miss T-Nex more :(

Felt like confirming with a photo. because the thread was going off topic

I forgot how much I love this book <3

What number did you get?

Now that I'm earning shit tons of money I figured I'd order the Folio Edition as well. Apparently there is an issue with the site right now but the fine folks at Ballistic Publishing already have put number 86 (my birth year) on the side for me :D

And while we are talking about the book I'd like to repost this just for old time's sake:
