Agentorange Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 So, I've been over at the Chaosium site having a stooge around, and my eye keeps falling upon the Red Book of magic. But despite looking i can't see a print version. Am I just being really thick and have simply missed it, or is there really no print version ?

Not yet, Chaosium usually puts out a PDF months before the hardcopy and the PDF was released at Yule time.

PhilHibbs Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It has gone to the printers, they usually announce when the ships sail and that hasn't happened yet so I assume the presses are rolling as we speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(*) the shipping took a lot longer than anticipated because of a mix of Covid and Brexit legal stuff and other things that I haven't fully followed Quote Ludovic aka Lordabdul -- read and listen to The God Learners , the Gloranthan podcast, newsletter, & blog !

As always, if you buy the PDF direct from Chaosium now, you'll get the full price of the PDF off the cost of the physical book when it is out. *That is our plan but, as some other commenters have noted, the pandemic continues to severely disrupt international shipping movements and clearances. And Brexit has added additional challenges getting product into the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaah.....from that I assume a) that your UK stock is shipped from Europe ? b) it's produced in the UK but was done under an EU wide agreement, and a new UK and US agreement hasn't been drawn up yet ?

We print our books in a variety of places, including Lithuania and Poland. The product then gets shipped to our various warehouses. Shipping from the EU to the UK used to be fairly seamless but since Brexit it has become complicated and slow. 2 minutes ago, Agentorange said: b) it's produced in the UK but was done under an EU wide agreement, and a new UK and US agreement hasn't been drawn up yet ? We don't print in the UK, the exception being our POD titles (these are printed locally by Lulu in various places around the world, including the UK).

Apropos of nothing, I did a double-take when I first opened the Red Book of Magic because I thought that it had been printed in Luathela. Now that would have been impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I can believe, It's quite difficult to find RQ products in even the places you'd expect to find them.

Jeff Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 All international shipping is messed up right now. We are still waiting for the book to arrive in our US warehouse. 7 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
