Game Boy World 1989 XL: Good news and bad news
Added 2016-04-17 13:13:15 +0000 UTCWell, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that converting
Game Boy World 1989 to the series' new, larger, less-cramped format went a lot more quickly than expected; in fact, I managed to start and complete it yesterday.
The bad news is that the larger format, contrary to my expectations, has resulted in a book that will list for 10% less than the original edition due to the fact that the contents went from 136 small, crowded pages down to 104 large, roomy pages. No, wait, that's good news.
The bad news is that the book looks much nicer in the larger format. Hmm, no, that's a good thing, never mind.
The actual bad news is that I'm posting the revised edition PDF here for everyone who supports this campaign while the book goes in for proofing. Whoops, wait. That's also good.
I guess there's no bad news. So... I guess there's nothing to be done but for you to enjoy. Enjoy!

We had a hard line break that cut off the end of our Fire Emblem: Awakening review in the first version we published of our first issue. It was live for about 30 minutes, so whoever ordered during that time scored themselves a rare collectible. :p

2016-04-29 18:24:03 +0000 UTCI made some minor edits to a couple of articles, but nothing of any significance. It's 99.5% the same content as the previous edition.

2016-04-18 01:56:13 +0000 UTCOh, actually, I'll still make the same amount per book. The base price has dropped due to the change in page count, but the profit margin per book hasn't changed.

2016-04-18 01:29:02 +0000 UTCThe only "bad" news I can think of is, the fact that you started and finished this in one day (but it is out of the way now...so that's good news, I guess) or maybe the loss of 10% in profits...XD Either way, I do like the look of this new book, cleaner, better spacing, and I think physically the pictures and text will look much better than the original.
