Nope. Serenity episode, The Train Job, Bushwhacked, Shindig, Safe, Our Mrs. Reynolds.

The rest should be in volume 2 next year.

Nice cover

Can someone with better eyesight than I (or someone with a good magnifying glass) transcribe the "Companion privileges & Principals" document pictured on the bottom of page 73? The companion "terms and conditions" sound particularly intriguing!

Heh, nevermind. The same template was used for the firefly class cargo ship license at the bottom of page 140, and it looks like the text was just copied from some generic legal document about trusts from the Olympia National Bank of Washington. Only the large-type title and sub-headings were changed for the prop. Ah well.

I just got word from amazon.com (US) that they've shipped my copy! I can't wait to see it!

Anticipation is great, isn't it?

I've had mine on order from Amazon since it was announced and I just got an e-mail from them saying the release date had moved up.

Lo and behold, when I checked my pending orders, the delivery date now said Aug. 29 - Aug. 31!

I loved the Serenity Visual Companion and I'm really looking forward to this one. (Not to mention that it's part of a two-volume set!!)



Mal: Did you send word to Patience?
Wash: Ain't heard back yet. Didn't she shoot you one time?
Mal: Everybody's makin' a fuss.

Barnes and Noble called me last night[wed.] and said my book was ready for pickup. I asked about it on Sunday and they told me it was in their warehouse and they could have it for me in three business days. I'm picking up my copy today, and I encourage browncoats to ask for it at the store. The guy told me it was scheduled to be released next month, but if it's in the warehouse they can get it anytime. SHINY!

PR, I don't think anyone is trying to play a trick on you. I got mine yesterday from B&N. Called the store last week, they didn't have any copies, but the website had it as available, so I ordered through them. Just checked Amazon, and if I was motivated enough would do a pretty screen print and show that it says in stock and that I could have it in my hands by tomorrow, if I wanted to pay an arm and a leg in shipping.

It is beautiful. Big, shiny pictures. I didn't have much of a chance to read it yet, but I am sooooo excited.
