The Hand-Stitched Binding affects the appeal of the books at first glance.
Yes, the artwork is phenomenal as well and the fact that
the books are based on
A Stage Musical
makes the project unique and, if we are lucky, enduring.
Hand-stitched Books will be produced exclusively by
Image of the Mind Studios
in our own shop,
as oppose to being jobbed out to a third party printer/binder.
That means that inventory (of Hand-stitched Books) will be limited
to whatever we decide to, or can, keep on the shelf.
Production time for Hand-Stitched Books is considerably longer
than Machine Bound Books.
So availability of the Hand-Stitched Books
will depend upon current inventory.
That being said,
there may be a wait if inventory is depleted.
DIRECT SALES
Individual books can be ordered, at MSRP, directly from our sales office.
There will be an additional $15 charge for signed and numbered editions.
There will be no discount for books
(not purchased under the wholesale terms for retailers).
The Story of
spans a collection of Seven Books, also published as Three Volumes.
All Hand-Stitched Books, One thru Seven, have an MSRP of $34.95.
Some books have more pages than others.
The Three Volume Set is not being released at this time.
WHOLESALE
For retailers, we have a wholesale structure.
Minimum purchase for wholesale pricing is 36 books.
However, a full keystone on the Hand-Stitched Books will not be achieved
on any less than 1k quantity purchases, per book.
The Wholesale pricing schedule for
both Hand-Stitched and Machine Bound books,
will be released after
IMS Inventory of Hand-Stitched Books is built up
and after the first production run
of Machine Bound Books takes place.
MSRP of Machine Bound books is likely to be $24.95.
Exclusive Distribution Rights of Machine Bound Books is available.
