Default Re: Assassin's Creed III Collectors Guide

I order from Book Depository regularly, they are very good on price and i have never had an issue with damage.
They package in brown cardboard, they are basically cardboard to the size of the book, its not really that great packaging but somehow they never really get damaged, the books themselves are usually open too unless its like a standard guide the collectors edition hardbacks are pretty much always open, but i guess the design of the cardboard and its thickness is enough to prevent any damage from bumps, its similar to how amazon package their books and movies etc.

So as i said touch wood, i havent had a major issue with a book being damaged and i have ordered like well over 40 books or more from there, many of them collectors editions guides.

I am actually getting the assassins creed book locally this time though as receive a 30% discount from EB games when buying the Freedom edition of the game, so works out to $33 from original $48 for the CE book, and book depository is only about $5 less, so ill pay that to pick one out myself and get it on release in person with the game.
Already picked up the Hunter Connor statue yesterday.

sometimes they end up being identical lithographs to what PAL gets, could be just Best Buy exclusive in the US.

I searched on-line and all i saw was that it said, the collectors edition guide is hardbound and has 16 additional pages of artwork as opposed to the standard guide..unfortuntaley the on-line weekly ad is still for this week...we would have to wait until Sunday for the next weekly ad..there is no mention of ACIII collectors guide on the on-line version of the ad, at least i did'nt notice or see anything looking through the pages..Romeo, may have gotten his hands on next weeks weekly ad a couple of days early, depending on which part of the US he lives...i guess unless Romeo can scan it..we would have to wait until Sunday?

I checked the best buy site too and it is a PIC and details of the same as the euro collectors guide so maybe they gave everyone a litho we know how ubi love litho's
my guess is they own there own machine and are trying to get the most out of it
or its a best buy exclusive announced 3 days before the game is out. wait in to know which (cheesygrin)
