Sketchbook ordering is open

[maichan]

Also received mine the other day. Thank you Stan... and have fun at San Diego!

I missed this post. Is it possible I can get two copies of sketchbook #9 please Stan?
Regards

[Stan Sakai]

Today was the first time I was able to make it to the post office since leaving for San Diego more than a week ago. There were no sketchbook orders, so I can call the sketchbook sales ended. The European books were sent off today, and Thomas has graciously agreed to distribute them.

It's my pleasure to be of service; for those who come in now kicking their .... whatever you kick for being late, stop kicking; I've ordered some more copies than neccessary. So if you missed European ordering (admittedly, it was a little short-termed), you can still contact me for last-minute orders...

If you still want to get a sketchbook, Stuart Ng is carrying numbers 7,8, and 9. He is a very reputable dealer.

Stan, could you please specify which UY sketchbooks have new, original stories, and if said stories will ever be reprinted?

Steve,

You are our UY wikipedia. And I mean that in the most complimentary way.

Peace, maka

[Steve Hubbell]

Thanks Maka!
It was nice to have an excuse to pull out all the sketchbooks and look through them again, they are all so neat.

I was trying to figure out where the alternative ending was for issue 102. I looked in the hardcover and the issue itself. Then I did used the search "102 ending" in the search tool on this dojo. It's in sketchbook #4. Thanks Steve! Now my daughter is reading the alternate ending.

Peace, maka

I'm guessing that ordering for sketchbook #10 is currently closed. Will it be reopened at some point?

[VikingSpawn]

I'm a little late to this thread. I'd love to buy one too.

[Thomas Froehling]

I suppose sketchbook ordering will be open around SDCC next year (if there is a sketchbook #11, that is) again, depending on Sensei's schedule then; what with Sharon's condition and Sensei's care for her, I'd fully understand if he would cancel it this year.

Nevertheless, if there was a sketchbook, I'd gladly assist with ordering for European fans again.
