Speaking of Trades...

Does anyone know where I can get the NEW PRINT version of Book 1?

Thanks!

Was wondering if any one new if the hardcovers will be reprinted and available from Heritage. I have all the trades in paper back but am missing a couple hardbound collections in the teens. Also related to this I was flipping through my hardbound volumes and noticed on book 1 I had 10/10 AP wasn't sure if that meant additional printing or Artist proof. I thought the Artist proofs were not available to the public.

in printmaking the abreviation AP is for Artist's Proof. Not sure for publishing, although I am vaguely aware that there were special proof copies printed. Might be you have a rarity there - kool

Stan will know of course but he's on his way to Paris and I don't guess we'll see him here for a couple of weeks.

The Hard Cover Editions were limited editions, so there should be no plans of a re-print, otherwise the limitation would make no sense...

And yes, AP means Artist proof; exactly how many were made might differ from book to book, Sensei should be a reliable source for information about it. These (and the occasional PC = Publisher Copy) were not meant for public sale, but Sensei does have the odd one available for fans, I believe.

I was lucky enough to get sketchbook #1- #3 as AP (directly from Sensei) and HC 18 "Travels with Jotaro" as PC (via ebay).
