Massive Black: Volume 1 -- Our art book is DONE! pre-order sneak peak within

**psychtaygar** · December 27th, 2008, 03:46 AM

Will this be on amazon at all? Where will I be able to buy this after it's released? Will it be printed in limited numbers? Or will it be just as available as other art books?

I can't afford it right now. But I do want it... eventually...

**Vertrucio** · December 27th, 2008, 03:54 AM

I emailed them for package 2. Now I'm just waiting to give them my money.

I was already planning to pickup some new training videos now that I have more free time.

sweet! cheers james

**Jason Manley** · December 27th, 2008, 11:39 AM

I doubt we will put it on amazon. They take too much of a cut to bother. It will be available in the conceptart.org store after launch.

**Serpian** · December 27th, 2008, 12:27 PM

Will there be a limited amount of copies after launch, i.e., if I don't grab one now, will I lose my chance? Is the free download only for those who pre-order?

Question: theoretically, Is it possible to get a sketch from Jason or Android? I mean, Ill be FREAkn happy with whoever drew my sketch and I´m not asking for anything…but just,… theoretically…?

thnx

cheers

**stuartd** · December 27th, 2008, 04:42 PM

**Jason Manley** · December 27th, 2008, 04:47 PM

**Nysuatro** · December 27th, 2008, 04:48 PM

I am am already saving for this. Will there also be a student discount for this on balistic ?

**Taj** · December 27th, 2008, 05:11 PM

these pre order deals are great, but is it gonna be the same price after launch without any deals and just a book?

**maxblack** · December 27th, 2008, 08:31 PM

Looks great!!! Just ordered.Let the anticipation begin.

**aqws-kun** · December 27th, 2008, 09:52 PM

**Yogev** · December 28th, 2008, 01:24 PM

So, what about international shipping?
Can I get it shipped to Israel?

**Riddick** · December 28th, 2008, 05:11 PM

This book seems to be very impressive!
Do you already know if you will make a serie?

**smugbug** · December 28th, 2008, 06:53 PM

Howdy,

Just a couple quick questions,

Is the Signature Edition a Hardcover?

And How long would you say it takes to get a reply
to place an order, I had sent an email CA's way about
a week ago and still no reply?

Thanks in advanced,
Rodney

**Jason Manley** · December 29th, 2008, 12:15 PM

Order emails are being sorted now. The book comes out on the 13th. It is still the holiday here and peeps are on vacation so plz be patient. Mucho thanks too!

**Peantoo** · December 29th, 2008, 02:37 PM

Hey Jason, I'm cross posting this from the other thread because it seems like you'd know the answer, what with being in charge and whatnot.

"So will part 2 [of Whit's Speedpainting Series] be included with the rest if I wanted to choose it as one of my free downloads for buying the Massive Black Vol. 1 book? Just asking since those freebies only apply to those currently released, but that statement was made a few days before part 2 was released. Just checking. Also, I already bought part 1 and it was amazing, so even if I can't get it free, I'll be buying part 2 anyways "

**Jason Manley** · December 29th, 2008, 06:15 PM

Yeah it was for downloads out at the time of the announcement. Sorry for the confusion.

Jason

**Noah Bradley** · December 29th, 2008, 10:36 PM

I'm about to be flat broke (yay for art school tuition), but I'm gonna find a way to pick this one up.

Thanks for everything that y'all do. I'm sure I'm not the only person inspired to be an artist by this place.

**jester** · December 30th, 2008, 05:53 AM

I'd love to order, but it depends on the international shipping rate to Germany. I hope the early bird offer won't be over before this is sorted out, since quite some people have been asking for this.

Another hint: customs rates from the US to Germany are pretty high - it would be great if the declaration could be "present" or "gift" because in this case they won't charge customs...

This doesn't always seem to work trough. I believe it depends by what's on the shipping box. For example, if its from a company with its logo on the shipping box, then the chances are high they see trough your deceleration message and just treat it as import.

**chuck18mp** · December 30th, 2008, 10:01 AM

Nice Book!!

**SQUEZEE** · December 30th, 2008, 11:36 AM

I read couple of months ago that a new law would be effective in 2008 December in EU. According to the new law you won't have to pay the taxes if the importable package is worth less than 150 euros (it was 22 euros before). Also the new 150 euro limit applies only if one of the parties is a company. So if Jason sent you the book, you would have to pay the customs taxes, but if Massive Black sent you the book, you wouldn't.

I think the law became effective on 1st December.

I'm not sure at all though, correct me if I'm wrong.
