    Got mine today. #134 I've been waiting for it since Father's Day. My daughter gives me the RJ subscription for my birthday every year and one special book every Father's Day. She's the best.

    First thousand were numbered. No numbers from that point on.

    My copy made it in yesterday. Dang nabbit! I ordered early & I did not get a numbered edition. Who had 626 or 418? Wanna swap? I love the look. I wonder how they got such crisp fonts off of scans or copies?

    The fonts are so nice because the originals were printed using letterpress (individual metal letters set together) rather than the plate system we use now. So rather than the text being made up of little dots, it's printed like the rubber stamps we use today.

    Hope that makes sense...

    Great book. Love it.

    I ordered mine the 30th of April, responded as fast as they announced that the pre sale had started. I haven't got it yet :(
    I really hope it will be numbered when it finally appears!!
