Quite a feat to get a legendary actor such as Tom Hanks to sign! That said, you do need to subscribe to the most expensive tier, which is $300. Not going to lie, I really admire Tom Hanks so this is tempting... but $300 is not pocket change either. What do you think?

"We would like to bring to your attention that Tom Hanks has agreed to sign copies of the Patrons' and Centaur Patrons' Editions."

The Patron edition is $125.

Is it possible to order only this particular edition without commiting to buy any future editions? There's little hope it will still be available after subscriptions are made. Is it just me or is their website not informative?

EDIT: I've contacted them via email.

>4 Lukas1990: I believe you can simply sign up for the dispatch and then cancel after paying for this one volume.

So I subscribed and was charged at the $125 level for the Patron edition ... and received the $45 classic instead. I emailed them immediately upon receiving it yesterday but haven't heard back yet. Normally I'm not impatient, but I'm worried they may not have one available for me now.

>6 amysisson: Your Patron level subscription came with a complementary classic edition. I expect they just aren't done with the Patron copies yet.

>7 mholt: Thanks, yes, they responded that Patron would be shipping soon. I'm relieved; I really have my heart set on that one!

>8 amysisson: As some one who downgraded from Patron due to the delays, I'm glad to hear they're now shipping the Classic edition to Patron subscribers as it's ready! If that's the new process, it might be just enough to entice me to upgrade again.

I can't believe there are still signed copies left.

I signed up for the next dispatch because it’s a story I really love. I wanted to pick up some back catalogue dispatches but the shipping to the uk is crazy as usual. It’s only a $20 premium on the subscription but it’s minimum an additional $90 for extra books in the same order. I emailed them to ask if there’s anyway we could combine a subscription with some back catalogue pieces but they didn’t get back to me.
