A Distant Soil Volume IV HARDCOVER NOW AVAILABLE and ON SALE
on September 7th, 2012A Distant Soil Volume IV is completely sold out everywhere, but Image found a small stash of the library binding hardcover in the Diamond warehouse. I have them at the super low price of only $24.95 US and $29.95 foreign.
A Distant Soil Volume IV is starting to get some scary crazy prices. This is what people are asking for the softcover.
Amazon still has them listed here, but I can assure you, it is sold out in the warehouse.
Some are listed at as low as $4 used, but good luck getting anything that isn’t a used library copy. I have not had good luck with getting quality copies from the Amazon Marketplace myself.
I have hardcover editions, intended for libraries, in mint condition. They are still in the original cartons from Diamond Distribution. They are not signed and numbered like the limited edition hardcover, but I can sign for you if you like.
The entire hardcover print run was originally 500 copies. Er, we don’t have that many anymore. First come, first served. Your copy will be shipped within one week of payment. Please specify if you want yours signed. Only $24.95 US, $29.95 Foreign!!! GUARANTEED NEW!
EVERY ORDER WILL ALSO COME With AN EXTRA FREE GOODIE! A print or a free, signed comic. Pot luck freebies direct from me and SIGNED!
Use the drop down menu for US or foreign shipping.
This edition is completely sold out and will never be available again. Get ‘em now.
I’ve just ordered [and paid for] one
and would be very grateful if you could sign it for me. I bought an old copy last year but it’s so battered! To read clean crisp pages will be a joy.

Hello there! I paid for two because I’m getting into the series, but my sister is a huge fan and she’s been wanting this volume forever!
If you would be so kind to sign them, it would make our day!
Very cool, will be happy to sign for you both! Thanks! Was delighted to find the distributor had these!
Just ordered one and I’m SO EXCITED. I can’t wait until it gets here, I am making a high-pitched noise and flailing my arms. Of course I would love for you to sign it.
Also, no delays in shipping. Plenty of packaging at the ready. Most books will go out within 48 hours of order.
What exactly does “Library Binding” mean? How is it different from the regular version?
Seriously? In this case not a bit. It’s just that these were meant to be sold only to libraries. They are stamped inside with the info, so they are not mistaken for the hardcover limited editions. We never did a general release hardcover. There are only the books sold as limited editions, and the books sold to libraries. It’s exactly the same book.
Usually a library edition would have a cheap, but sturdy binding, so it could take a lot of abuse, maybe one of those wide rows of reinforced tape along the spine.
What I see here is people who bought the limited edition buy the library hardcover to read, and keep their signed limited edition with the nice sketch in it on the shelf.
Cripes, one crummy sentence, and I had to edit three times for bad grammar. Sheesh. Me smart.
OK, thanks for the explanation. I’d seen other books listed as library binding before and never knew what it meant.
Library bindings are usually cardboard with a thick reinforced tape at the spine. Ours are the same as our regular editions, either a leatherette or that nice shiny gold, as on volume II.
Which is just me explaining the same stuff all over again. I think I had too much coffee today.
I keep my 4 volumes of remarqued and 2 volumes of lettered state on the shelf along with 1 copy each of the softcovers and 1 copy each of the original issues. then I actually read my second copies of the softcovers; or my second copies of the original issues depending on if I want something easily portable, or want to to check out all the nice sketch galleries.
Aw, that’s so nice!
Just ordered one- would love it if you could sign it. thanks!
Great, Iain. Could you let me know if you want it personalized to you? Thanks so much!
Nice stack of shipments accumulating here.
I collected all this packing stuff and have all this inventory to sell, thinking I’d do a kickstarter, but no. At least there’s no wait for shipments! Everything is here! Nice to be organized!
