Ottenstein says...

"features a bunch of full pages of Peter Ledger's original concept art
for B5, including the first drawings of our characters at that time, as
well as the world of B5 itself. Most of it has not been seen before,
certainly not in anything more than postage size images on a PTEN
flyer. "

Is there more than what was in the Treatment those of us in the Fan
Club bought? They were full page illustrations there.

I just got my Volume 8 <<

I just got my Volume 8 today, a day wherein I was out all day, and in which
we had rains of biblical proportions up here in PA (and still going - the
pool is very close to the overflow point right now). So I have to give big
props to the UPS guy for putting it between my doors.

I have a beautiful, large, rainproof Swedish postbox on the wall of my house,
but of course UPS isn't allowed to touch anything connected with US mail.

Next time I see the UPS guy, I'm going to give him a cup of coffee or some
home-baked cookies or something.

(rumblings of mutiny) I'd as soon shoot them as receive a package from
them. Last volume they held it for over a week, and this volume they
can't even tell me where it is.

Mine's still sitting in Parsippany (about 40 minutes away) according
to their tracking system. Been there since Sunday. It's Monday night.
I expect it here sometime tomorrow.

UPS must have various tracking options that go with different shipping
services - because when I order from other places, I get an "estimated
delivery date" on the tracking page. Not so with these shipments.

I suppose I've been home too much or something.

I gather they give you a date with the timed services, e.g., 3 day,
but not with the plain vanilla service which swallowed the package I
expected yesterday.

Weirdness of tracking systems: I checked on a package the other day
and it said it had been delivered. Went downstairs, opened the door,
and there it was . . .
