Paint My Name In Black and Gold: The Next Phase

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Just wondering, since my order has now been dispatched: When will the eBook be available?

Diary of a parcel. :)
Since i see many things happen around, i will share the experience i had. The parcel went to at least 3 different countries except the origin UK. The parcel was definetely opened somewhere on the route and checked that it was a book. No extra taxes were added. No custom fees. i can live with that it was opened and no custom taxes were asked. :roll:
I would be happy if there was better condition of the paper cover but it was a little bit hit in the place it was opened and checked.
I would also be happier if MA would have signed my copy, but i understand perfectly that the circumstances didn't allow this to happen :(
I loved read the names at the end and read many familiar ones, honoured to be gathered all in one place for a common cause like this :notworthy: :bat:

Anyone else expecting in the States? Mine just got to New York...! Given the reviews so far, am sure I won't be disappointed.

I'll work up a proper review over the next few days.

My only, very minor, quibble is that the asterisks are too small and I kept missing where exactly in the main text the footnote was referred to.

As always with crowd funding, I really get a kick out of seeing my name in print. Tiny things please tiny minds ;D

Yeah, mine too. Then handed off to the USPS, and given how effective they are in my city, I figure there's a 50% chance I don't get it, and if I do get it, a 50% chance I only get half of it. Never mind that I can see the Capitol building when I walk out to my local for a drink.

The curated playlist is out.

Still no sign of the ebooks; I've dropped a quick query to Unbound support asking about them, particularly as they appear to be selling ebooks on the site (which seems odd if they haven't yet released them to supporters) and their email to EU supporters did say "in the meantime enjoy the ebook".
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

And the PDFs are out.

Wow. Seems to be just the White Rose Babylon material; still no sign of the original book itself.

Mine was not delivered to me today because there is tax and another fee to pay and the postman was not allowed to collect the money in times of Corona and they don’t accept credit cards either-Germany! :x
But the good thing is that I can pick the book up from the local post office tomorrow. It’s arrived here at least :D

I think the fact 8 and 9 are missing from the pdf means the full text for chapters 8 and 9 is included in the book :D

Definitely more in the pdf than I was expecting :notworthy:

a) "The ebooks are currently with the converters and we should have them next week" (Unbound)

b) The Footnotes for chapters.8 and 9 have been added to the link you use to get the PDFs. So 'Repaint My Name In Gold' is whole again.
