The content is the same,
and a book is all about quality content,
but what a tangible pleasure it was to receive my
real, printed, bound copy of the wonder-filled "Dark Waltz".

As Pinocchio said: "gee, I'm a *real* boy now!"
And so is the treat of getting this as a real book.
Thanks Michael for putting out a version for the rest of us.

I hope you sell many, many for a long, long time.
(but, not too many…
some of the stuff you tip is too good for general consumption!)

Magically,
Walt

I agree with Walt. Thank you. I got mine today and hope to put in some time reading it here soon.

Looks like I better jump in. Thanks to all who've commented on this title and to the author for making it available.

Not ready for a full review (though all my reviews are mini ) but this is an outstanding book. I'm really enjoying reading it and finding so many cool tidbits.
It looks good too so you can leave it out! Recommended! Real review to come.

Real-ish Review in Books on the Café.

Good, NOW I'll consider buying it. Despite all the reviews, I do hate e-books. It's just so hard to take a PC to bed. And a print-out of them isn't that charming either.

My book is here and I love it! Great stuff...

Good evening gentle friends -
I am very pleased to share a very special edition of Michael Fraughton's Dark Waltz. As producer and co developer of the original Visions of Midnight which featured much of the material in the original book I have produced this special edition as a twentieth anniversary celebration.

Michael and I have been working hard from opposite sides of the Atlantic to bring this forward to you and together with some very special friends who have contributed new chapters we want to say thank you for all the years of magic we have created together !

Any word if shipping of these has begun?

The books are all being individually numbered and wrapped and packaged. - they should be in the post Monday.

Excellent news! Can't wait to see this. Any time scale for the crystal bells?

I read the first post of this thread and got excited thinking the Dark Waltz was $35 for a hard copy lol. Then saw it was from 2007!

I still plan on getting the ebook soon though as everyone rants and raves about it. I'm sure it's great!

The Arcane Edition is very different. The original content has been re edited linguistically and the scripts have been taken back to an earlier British academic English. It has all new artwork and photo images, printed on 150gsm heavy silk paper in a hard back with placeholder ribbon. It also has additional chapters for the anniversary edition from a number of friends and colleagues ..

The e book does not contain these things ..

Are you telling me this has not sold out at only 50 copies??!!

interesting....
Puzzling...
sad?

I have not told you anything of the sort. But since you have thrown out such a statement I will tell you there is one copy left for sale - number 50.

But you did somehow, (or I am psychic) since I was/am correct.

Grab it. Do not think. Do not hesitate. Grab it. You will not be sorry. I was fortunate to be asked to contribute and have seen the mock-up. In fact, I own the original version and treasure it above rubies. If you do not grab this last one I promise you that you will wish you had.

(I earn nothing from the sale of these books, btw; I am just that big a fan of Fraughton and his thinking. This is a marvelous book. Do not miss out.)

BC

Yay!! Snagged the last copy, on the strength of Prof BC's enthusiastic praise. Though I've been curious, I've never read the original, and am very much looking forward to diving into the special edition.

I guess I will be camping out by the mailbox for the next few weeks then. ;-)
