Received the replacement, they used priority medium flat rate box this time, packed it very well, the book arrived in perfect condition! But sadly still no gold bookplate signed by the artist...

I don't get it, didn't you tell them that when you made the exchange? How could they forget it twice?

On the other hand at least their CS is responsive.


Apparently my copy has come in but I have to wait till Christmas to open it. Definitely came in a bubble mailer (not sure if multiple) as opposed to a box, not sure if any damage, not sure if bookmark was included. Fingers crossed!

I told them but they didn't send it to me. I emailed them again this afternoon.

Hope yours is fine, I don't think most people's are damaged like mine.

They just sent me another package with the signed bookplate. One of the best CS I've ever dealt with

So just wanted to check, but did everyone receive an actual "gold metal plate" signed by the Artist? I just ended up getting a golden sticker signed by her after contacting them to let them know mine wasn't originally included? Thought that "bookplate" meant "metal" but maybe that was just my quick reading and mistake? Did everyone end up getting the sticker?


Edit: Also, anyone who was wanting to actually translate the text written in the book. It (after much searching on my part) is NOT written in any of the Hylian language scripts, according to FG, "The text is written in WW script, which is based on Japanese with a different set of characters."

A bookplate is just a stick that goes on the inside cover of a book. No metal involved.

A bookplate, also known as ex-libris [Latin, "from the books of..."], is usually a small print or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the inside front cover, to indicate its owner.

Can finally update you guys.

Mine came shipped inside two bubble mailers. For reference, the dust jacket is not perfectly mint, but plenty good enough for me being that this book is a fan made item I plan to use rather than leave sealed. The elusive gold bookplate was included in the little bag of extras that came included. There was also a sticker, pin, collectible card, and an ad for other fangamer merch.



Quote from back of card says, "I heard _______ made an appearance at the Runaway Five show. I missed it 'cause I was in the bathroom. I'll hate bathrooms for the rest of my life." Did you guys get EarthBound cards too or did I just get lucky??

Pin was a Banjo Kazooie puzzle piece (meh)

Sticker was a pixelated Link (woo)



Thanks to xhunter and Ms. Fry and fangamer and a little online research I now know what bookplates are. Apparently I should read more books.
