Yay, thanks for the heads up, I just placed an order too, only hope that the shipping is not going to make me poor because the book itself seems very fair priced.

Any idea what the contents are? Any Buffy-related stuff?

Not sure but with 140 pages of cover art I would hope some buffy stuff is in there. As for shipping she ships priority mail with insurance which is understandable so its prob between 10 and 15 depending on where you live and if you order the deluxe edition or not. I asked Jo if I could post pics in a few days when I get it so I am waiting to make sure she is cool with it. I wouldn't see a prob but you never know. Anyways thanks for the comments I hope everyone that gets one enjoys it as much as I know I will. Later!

I live in Europe and as it looks like shipping and handling is 35$ just to get it here, which almost doubles the price of the standard edition...
Should I do it, should I not do it? Grrr, why is shipping from the US always so crazy expensive

As soon as anyone get it, tell me if we see some new Buffy sketches. It doesn't sound like there will be any tough (unless that sketchbook that comes with the deluxe edition has any) just already published covers.
Btw, what's a carry case?

I'm thinking that it's some sort of bag that you carry it in(in a way like a laptop case/bag).
Man, that's a really neat idea, to have a book, but at $65, I don't know if I'd want to buy it. I just wish that I could somehow display the gorgeous Buffy drawings that will hopefully be in the book.
Does Jo sell any of her artwork, just as prints?

I think a carry case is something similar to a slip case, maybe closed.
I'd really love to have the book and 65 $ for artbook/ scetchbook and postcards sounds quite fair, but 100 $ is just a lot of money to spend on artbook.
Think I'll try poking if the comic shop in vienna is interested in importing a few.

Greer she does sell prints of her own work. I don't think she has the right to sell Buffy related material considering she doesn't have the rights thats not to say if you buy one of her other prints she won't throw in a buffy print with it.(Which is what I did btw I have a NICE size print of Issue 19's cover framed and signed on my wall.

Pretty sure the blurb states that it's not being sold through any third parties... it's only available through her at the moment.

Awesome, that's really cool. Is there another place that you can purchase the prints? I looked on her website and it's just the two books that are for sale.

Perhaps e-mail her to see if she has any prints on sale... she should be able to point you in the right direction.

You do that, I really want to see the extra deluxe items. What is the sketchbook like? Blank pages or filled with sketches?

Any new Buffy art? The last one looks like Willow. I want the original art for that one in that case.

The last one is a sketch of Willow I think its supposed to be dark willow. Its In the sketchbook but I agree I would Love to have a single sheet of that pick But besides that and a few other buffy sketches no new covers or anything.

Could you scan the Buffy sketches?
Or just take photos of them?

ok I lied lol I thought there were more but that willow sketch is the only buffy material in the sketch book. My Bad -_-" Like I said it pretty much has Jo's buffy covers for 1-20 and the first 3 trade pb covers
