But you are removing smoke particles that have touched the lungs of the great Rob Kuntz . . . burnt paper and tobacco that have touched the lips of this mighty scribe . . .

Hi,

mine have a faint tobacco sort of odour - like a pipe, or good cigar.

Cheers,

That's funny, mine smell of money.

That's my assumption.  I also assumed that these were the author's prints in this case, but maybe I'm mistaken.

My books also came with the smoke smell.  It's not a biggie, though.  Airing them out will fix that.    Or... as mentioned earlier, maybe it makes them more desirable!  lol  

An author leaving an odor on something, rather than a signature... that is an interesting idea.  LOL!  

Hmm... I wonder if anyone ever considered making a scratch-n-sniff module.  hehe

Or maybe scratch-n-spliff.

Mine arrived in the UK today, #25. Each of them priced that way with a single certificate. So I guess if these ever crop up on eBay they'll be sold as a set, or orphans without certificates. No chance to open them up, but my impression is that Demonic Archane and The Stalk are loose leaf photocopies with coloured paper covers (thought maybe the cover would be two colour printed with a fade like the advert). Are they stapled like The Living Room?. Didn't open them, so cannot comment of on smell of those two.

Really like the look and feel of ERKAT. Dingied corners, but that's International Shipping for you. Perfect bound is just splendid and gives a distingct professional feel to the book. No decernable smell to this one. No real freshly printed smell either, but nothing noticably smokey that I could pick up. Could be that the photocopies were stored seperately from ERKAT, as they would have come in boxed from Lulu or wherever.

Very pleased with what I got at a very good price. Don't think we're gonna see collectables here like we did with CotSK and ToB. Hopefully we'll see those in PDF shortly.

The smokiness of my bundle was not limited to ERKAT - one of the bagged items was smokey too.

All in all, it seems like the smokiness effected a number of copies which is really a shame.  I'm sure I will end up buying the products that PPP has planned but I hope they can fix the little hassles that seem to crop up.

Neither is mine.
