Author	Topic: Barnes & Noble paperback Masterworks preorder?
majorjoe23 Member	posted March 26, 2003 04:30 PM I remember someone posted a link to the Barnes & Noble Marvel reprints that will be available soon. Does anyone still have it? I can't find it on their site. IP: Logged
dylanfan Member	posted March 26, 2003 05:13 PM This line of books mysteriously disappeared from their site about three weeks ago. My preorder hasn't been cancelled, but it causes one to wonder what's up with that. ------------------ Visit the Marvel Masterworks fansite and Message Board: Go to www.marvelmasterworks.freeservers.com IP: Logged
majorjoe23 Member	posted March 27, 2003 03:55 PM Thanks. It does seem strange, hopefully we'll still be getting these. IP: Logged
superboy1988-92 Member	posted March 28, 2003 12:04 AM Does Barnes & Noble accept orders from Canada? I wouldn't mind getting these Marvel Masterworks TPB editions, but to know that they are only for B & N, that's a frustration to get over. Plus, if B & N does accept orders from Canada, paying in US dollars, plus shipping & handling costs after, would it still be worth getting these MM TPBs? Should I just wait for the new re-issues of the MM HCs? IP: Logged
Scott Nichols Member	posted March 28, 2003 12:22 AM Barnes & Noble does accept international shipping. You can find their rates for Canadian shipping from their webpage www.barnesandnoble.com -Scott IP: Logged

Kamandi Last Boy on Earth Member	posted March 28, 2003 05:20 PM Which volumes were they? V1-5 (Spidey #1&2, X-men, FF, and Avengers #1 ? IP: Logged
bluedevil2002 Member	posted March 29, 2003 12:19 AM It was all first volumes. I think it was Spidey, X-Men, FF, DD, and Avengers. IP: Logged
The Anti-Life Equation Member	posted March 29, 2003 12:31 AM Not Avengers. It's the Hulk. ------------------ The ALE IP: Logged
The Anti-Life Equation Member	posted March 29, 2003 01:30 AM BTW, I checked with a friend of mine who works for B&N and he says they are still a go...As a matter of fact, they are the books of the month on the company newsletter. ------------------ The ALE IP: Logged

That's great, but they still don't show up for pre-order at b&N.com IP: Logged
BillNolan Member	posted April 07, 2003 04:24 PM In case anyone is still breathlessly awaiting these, I picked them up at a Barnes & Noble today (Salem, NH), so they have been released. - Bill IP: Logged
majorjoe23 Member	posted April 07, 2003 05:24 PM Were they in the graphic novel section, or somewhere else in the sore? IP: Logged
majorjoe23 Member	posted April 07, 2003 05:25 PM Uh, store, not sore. If they're in any kind of sore, I don't want to know. Stupid lack of edit! IP: Logged
BillNolan Member	posted April 07, 2003 05:57 PM They were relatively close to the Graphic Novel section. At the local store, the Graphic Novel section is in the front right corner, after the SF and TV-Tie-in stuff, upstairs. The Masterworks were displayed in an endcap at the opposite end of the same row of shelves. Took up the entire endcap, with 10 small, book-sized shelves, all with the books facing cover out. Very hard to miss. They look just like the hardcovers, design-wise. - Bill IP: Logged
BillNolan Member	posted April 07, 2003 05:59 PM For the sake of clarity, the paperback covers look just like the newest cover design for the Masterworks, the silver and black one. - Bill IP: Logged
James Friel Member	posted April 07, 2003 06:49 PM I hear that the content is not the newly remastered stuff, but the old Masterworks material. IP: Logged
BillNolan Member	posted April 07, 2003 07:32 PM quote: Originally posted by James Friel: I hear that the content is not the newly remastered stuff, but the old Masterworks material. James, From Masterworks Editor Cory Sedlmeier at the Masterworks Board: "The B&N Masterworks are in stores now and contain the remastered/recolored content to quash any rumors there." Here's the link: http://pub52.ezboard.com/fmarvelmasterworksfansitefrm1.showMessage?topicID=584.topic I've just checked and they appear to be the remastered material. The only difference is that the Spidey one contains Ditko's unused covers from Amazing Fantasy no. 15 and Amazing Spider-Man no. 10, rather than AF15 and ASM "no. 1" as listed on the Masterworks Fan Page, but I would guess that was a typo at the site. Either way, the content is different than in my old copy of vol. 1. - Bill IP: Logged
NecessaryImpurity Member	posted April 07, 2003 07:38 PM Are these shrink wrapped? I hope not; I'd like to flip through them to see what the reproduction looks like. IP: Logged
BillNolan Member	posted April 07, 2003 07:47 PM They are not shrinkwrapped. They look pretty much like the older Masterworks, I think, but I haven't read through them closely. I didn't notice anything too horrendous. - Bill IP: Logged
NecessaryImpurity Member	posted April 07, 2003 07:53 PM Thanks! IP: Logged
James Friel Member	posted April 07, 2003 10:01 PM Thanks, Bill--I'll pass that on to my source. He owns a comic shop, so maybe it was wishful thinking on his part... IP: Logged
Greg F Member	posted April 07, 2003 10:04 PM This is interesting. I didn't know about this. I have 19 of the original hardcovers so I probably won't be picking up any others but it's kinda cool that B&N are releasing these as paperbacks. IP: Logged
CountJerkula Member	posted April 07, 2003 10:23 PM I don't recall seeing FF on their website, but if they are out I'll have to replace my Essential FF's. I already ordered Spidey and Hulk, but skipped DD. IP: Logged
Greg F Member	posted April 07, 2003 10:28 PM I bought the original hardcover in the early 90s and would never part with it but I'm surprised that they are going for so much now. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list/-/0871358069/all/ref=sr_pb_a/103-3393446-8280639 IP: Logged
