I'm ready to sell you copies of Scott Pilgrim, Volume 3: Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness.
Remember: This is a personal service and I will be doing all the work myself. It might be a lot of work. I might get slow. I will try to be very polite all the time. Try to do the same. I promise to get you the books as soon as possible.
Here are the rules:
- Books are $14 each
- Add a "service fee" of $5 per order for packing, extra goodies, etc
- If you live outside North America, add $5 extra for shipping
- All prices are in US dollars - UNLESS YOU LIVE IN CANADA.
- If you live in Canada, you must pay in Canadian funds, and I will need to charge 15% HST. Please clearly state if you live in Canada.
- Approximately 100 copies of Volume 3 will be available. If you want copies of Volume 1, Volume 2, or FREE SCOTT PILGRIM (Free Comic Book Day book), please state that VERY CLEARLY! I will need to pick up a number of those books next week based on your orders.
- I will sign every book and draw a sketch in one book per person (ie if you're ordering one for yourself and one for your friend, you get two sketches, but if they're both for you, only one sketch). If you have a particular character you'd like me to draw, mention it in your e-mail. I cannot draw you. Sorry.
- If you are going to be at Anime North, at MoCCA NYC, or if you live in Halifax, Nova Scotia (where I live), you aren't allowed to order. I can sell you a book personally. Also, Torontonians: I am having a release party on Saturday May 27th (details forthcoming), so plan to be there (ie, don't order!).
- If you are on my "previous customers" list, you still need to follow these instructions (unless you are Nathan Avery) - however, I have saved a slot for you, in an effort to make sure you get to make your order. Please remind me that you are a "previous customer" if you are on that list. (If you lie about it I will know!)
- If you want more than one book, please provide an explanation of what the books will be for. I want to get books to as many people as possible, but I don't want you to order six copies for all your friends.
- I would like to take PayPal orders only - it makes my life a lot harder if you're all sending me foreign currency, money orders, cheques, etcetera. This is a ground rule and I fully expect some people to convince me to take their money order, so we'll see what happens. If you're scared of PayPal, go to their website right now and see about starting an account. I can also send you a direct invoice to your e-mail address, which might make matters easier.
- Your e-mail's subject heading will include: SCOTT 3 ORDER
- I reserve the right to turn your request down if it's insane, or really for any reason, at my discretion.
The basic order of one signed copy of Scott Pilgrim Vol 3 plus all extras will be $19 US, or (for Canadian residents only) $21.85 Canadian including HST. International one-book orders will be $24 US. If your order is more complicated, try to do your own math, and I'll make sure it's right.
We have until the end of Friday for the following to happen: (1) You e-mail me with your name, address, and order. You can do that as soon as you finish reading this. (2) I will reply, give you an order number, and tell you to pay up. (3) You will then send me money via PayPal. (This uses the same email address.)
Shipping will likely begin the week of May 29th.
Post questions and concerns HERE, rather than clogging my e-mail with them. (This will be posted 3 places only: radiomaru.com, destroyerzooey.livejournal.com, and the radiomarudotcom livejournal feed. Point interested parties to one of those sites and make sure they read the rules.)

What I mean is, refresh my memory of who you are. I'm going to start a list, and previous customers are the first to go on that list. If you're someone that I know personally, like say you're a benevolent asian person from california who has bought me lunch at the great mall, then... well... I remember you, but make sure you say something anyway so I remember to put you on my list.
Just so you all know, ordering books from me will NOT be as fast as ordering books from Amazon or your local comic shop. I don't get my copies any earlier than the stores will, and I have to do all this shipping by myself, so you might get the book a week or two after the release date.
Anyway, this will just be the advance list. More information later.
