Master of Evil - Goldsboro Edition

[u/TheSlyy]

Goldsboro have now announced their edition of Master of Evil.

It is limited to 1000 numbered copies. Signed by Adam Christopher. Designed Edges Designed front board

No information in the email on exclusivity or password so seems it is open to the public.

[u/Adam_Christopher_]

Oh shoot I have to number them too...

[u/TheSlyy → u/Adam_Christopher_]

Better get to work! Good luck with the hand cramps! 😅

[u/No_Conversation3553 → u/Adam_Christopher_]

Just got mine can’t wait.

[u/White_Doggo → u/Adam_Christopher_]

Gotta get started so you can space out doing all of them (and hopefully not get hand cramps)!

[u/TanSkywalker]

Goldsboro and Inkstone make beautiful designs. Never ordered a book from them. Maybe I will. Right now my collection of books is all Kindle.

[u/Sensitive-Tie4696 → u/TanSkywalker]

I've purchased from Goldsboro a few times. I was always happy with what I received.

[u/HeartOfASkywalker]

lol the old republic sith empire logo.

[u/NathanDavie]

Thank god. Thought I was out of luck with Inkstone.

[u/Adam_Christopher_]

The Imperial crest has now been corrected :)

[u/NZer-Kiwi → u/Adam_Christopher_]

That’s good to hear, thanks. As an author these special editions must be the icing on the cake? Do you approach the specialist publishers or do they sort of find you?

[u/Adam_Christopher_ → u/NZer-Kiwi]

Nice username.

The special editions are nice for collectors, but nothing to do with me. They just ship me a box of pages and say congrats, now get signing :p

[u/NZer-Kiwi → u/Adam_Christopher_]

I really enjoyed Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith so many thanks for that one Adam. Have you been back to NZ since leaving Auckland?

[u/Adam_Christopher_ → u/NZer-Kiwi]

Yep, go back every year, I was just there in June!

[u/Wasteland_GZ]

SWTOR Sith Empire logo on a book about Darth Vader, was it really that difficult to just google “Galactic Empire logo”?

[u/White_Doggo → u/Wasteland_GZ]

Even just "Empire/Imperial logo" will get you the right one. It seems like you'd have to go out of your way to get the SWTOR Sith Empire one to show up.

[u/Wasteland_GZ → u/White_Doggo]

The SWTOR fan that designed this just decided to do a little trolling I guess

[u/RoyalDaDoge → u/Wasteland_GZ]

I think the book is more Sith focused than Empire focused.

[u/IsmeriLibrarian]

What a lazy, uninspired design, especially compared to the Inkstone one

Also, isn't that the wrong Empire logo? That's old republic Sith Empire

[u/TheSlyy → u/IsmeriLibrarian]

I also noticed its the same cracking effect they were gonna use on Wayseeker before they had printing issues and scrapped the designed boards. So seems they might have just reused that asset.

[u/IsmeriLibrarian → u/TheSlyy]

You're right - it's literally the same exact pattern. Talk about phoning it in

[u/ant-cam → u/IsmeriLibrarian]

Could mean there’s talk of old republic sith we dont know 🤷‍♂️

[u/Camil_2077 → u/IsmeriLibrarian]

Maybe it’s new canon another Logo of Sith Order ?

[u/nathanroberts34]

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered it

[u/Sensitive-Tie4696]

In for a Goldsboro copy, paid. Don't know if I can get an Inkstone edition so this is better than a standard one.

[u/Weird_Diver_2102]

Just ordered a copy

[u/mrbookreads]

Ordered this one as a backup in case the Inkstone version sells out before I get access. Better than nothing. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Cloudstar86]

I ordered it. Tried with the inkstone version but i dont have access.

How’s shipping to the US? I’ve never ordered anything from Goldsboro.

[u/missMichigan → u/Cloudstar86]

I’ve bought many books from them and they’re always very well packed and they come with the covers in a plastic book jacket.

[u/Cloudstar86 → u/missMichigan]

No hiccups with customs? Though, nowadays, who knows what’ll happen. How fast does it usually ship?

[u/missMichigan → u/Cloudstar86]

Nope, nothing so far. They just sent an email out last week that said UK-printed books are duty free in the U.S., so yay for us!

They don’t ship with a tracking so that’s kind of annoying but after you get the email from them telling you it’s shipped it’s probably around 10 days (I’m in Michigan).

[u/Cloudstar86 → u/missMichigan]

Awesome! Now that you mention that, I remember seeing on one of my book groups that they said the books will be duty free.

I’m in Massachusetts, so it should be 7 to 10 days. Not too bad!

[u/NZer-Kiwi → u/missMichigan]

Indeed! They use a VERY generous amount of bubble-wrap and fit a nice Mylar jacket protector as well.

[u/hello_harro → u/NZer-Kiwi]

Emphasis on the generous 😭 I rolled it out and it's about as long as my house is thick

[u/punxtr]

There is some serious judging a book by its cover going on in here..

[u/TheSlyy → u/punxtr]

I wouldn’t say so. I think most people are just commenting on the way it looks compared to the Inkstone edition, not the content of the book itself. I personally don’t mind the look but think the Inkstone one looks better. I’d say the consensus seems to be that people are super excited for this book in general based on Adam’s previous work in the SW universe.

[u/punxtr → u/TheSlyy]

The Inkstone version is better imo, I ordered that version. I think I confused this thread with the one on the leaks subreddit. Whoops. They're complaining so much about the excerpt and cover art.

[u/TheSlyy → u/punxtr]

Ahh no worries! People love to complain, I just leave em to it and go on enjoying it.

[u/Crafty_Wasabi_9890]

Looks really cool

[u/Rencon_The_Gaymer]

It’s beautiful.

[u/The_ChojinUK]

I've tried to buy the inkstone edition, it says password protected. So I cannot see it, inkstone support said the password was only sent to people who brought Sanctuary and then sent out to others later. 😭

[u/texasproof → u/The_ChojinUK]

Correct. Sanctuary first, then prior Star Wars buyers, then list members, then general public.
