Sale of HappySoda v1 has ended. Twenty-five people bought a copy through Lulu.com. Thank you! I seriously appreciate it, particularly since with shipping it came out to be, well, a decent amount of money to part with.

Aw shoot, couldn’t get it. There’s always next time, right?!
How many orders did you expect?
25 is a pretty good number if you ask me! ^^ I thought that maybe half that much would order it.
I hope the printed version will arrive soon.
Cant wait for v2
I remembered just in time! Yokatta ^_^;;!!! Seriously though, I think it was a really great way to collect your work and it’s something I think you should be totally proud of doing! Congrats, can’t wait to receive my copy!
Dam, I missed out. T_T
Maybe it was the best because the aussie dollar is at it’s all time low.
Almost everything I purchase oversea just feels so pricey.
WAIT WHAT?! You mean it isn’t an ongoing sale?
My copy already shipped, so i expect a package to be on my work desk to cheer me up soon!
VOLUME TWO! VOLUME TWO! VOLUME TWO! XD
I estimated 12-15 copies would get sold, so with 25 in a week, it was a nice surprise.
I hope that people do actually like what they get. If I do a second one, it would probably be around the same time next year, though next time I might get 50 printed. It’s so much cheaper per book that way than print-on-demand, but it requires shelling out $500 for printing something with a similar number of pages. That one I’d leave open until the 50 were sold…so there’d be a much much much longer window of opportunity.
The shipping costs were ridiculous though, even within the US. I could offer a better quality product for about the same price and with better shipping charges if I got them printed nearby and shipped them out myself.
i got mine in the mail today, it was really amazing and makes me want to work more on my own photography so i can one day release a book like you. But it really was amazing, i love flipping through it!
I’m really happy that you like it and even more that it motivates you with your own photography. Awesome!
D’oh! I missed it. This is what I get for not keeping track of things.
Uwaahhhhh I wish I checked this blog more often….. I wish I got to order one…. bwah…
Just got the box yesterday Super_Rats. The book is gorgeous.
Fed-Ex always charges an arm and a leg, i’ve learned this when shipping stuff to myself from conventions. USPS has more reasonable rates, so maybe looking into domestic shipping for over-border etc could save the headache of super-duper charges.
Also, I’m sending you an email… need to consult you on something.
Got my copy today. The book is very nice and I hope you would do it again next year. As for the shipping, it’s not too bad for mine considering I had higher charges for something smaller than this.
I received the book two days ago. The packaging was absolutely perfect, quite cool actually. The book is pretty nice, it came out very well. Good job!
I also got it 2 days ago and its marvelous!
I didnt experience any printing errors like DQ and am happy to finally own a physical copy of your work.Id appreciate it if youll go the let it print route though because the whole LuLu thing was rather pricey.Youd still have the Doujin spirit with lets say a limited quantity of 50 pieces without somebody else meddling with the price.
Your Picture choice was great.There were some of my alltime favorites among them.Theres no need to improve in that department for Vol.2
What id really like to see would be a little text to most pictures.It was really interesting to get a look inside your mind and what you wanted to achieve with those pictures.The fact that you keep account of wich pictures where clicked the most often amazed me.I never even think about that^^.Too bad some of your prefered pics werent among them.
Cant wait to see Volume 2 in 1-1 1/2 years
I want to see the HappySoda v1. Will there be any more copies available? I just discovered this website, and I am curious to see the book.
