Somebody broke MaplePress-I can't get on either. Hilarious.

Whoopsie-meant Maple Street.

The link isn't work yet so I might as well ask here:

Will they ship to England, and if not would anyone be kind enough to send me a copy [I will cover all costs involved of course].

by EnglishMariner on Jan 12, 2010 1:21 PM PST reply actions

They will do international shipping I believe.

A fellow from Canada ordered one via USSM.

by wazzu93 on Jan 12, 2010 1:23 PM PST up reply actions

Most US online retailers ship to Canada, but getting it over that pond is a whole different kettle of fish it seems...

by EnglishMariner on Jan 12, 2010 1:26 PM PST up reply actions

In that case I wil buy two and gladly send you one if it's an issue. :)

by wazzu93 on Jan 12, 2010 1:28 PM PST up reply actions

I mentioned in the previous post that it appears they will go across the pond.

At least they were willing to ship to the US consulate in Edinburgh…

by Matthew on Jan 12, 2010 1:29 PM PST up reply actions

Just ordered from Australia...

so I’m sure they’ll do the same for England as well. Just put in my order… and the link works now :)

by ajaxpenny on Jan 12, 2010 1:58 PM PST up reply actions

How much did it cost you for shipping? I had to pay $12 for it ... I'll be pissed if this ends up on Amazon with their shipping rates!

by EnglishMariner on Jan 12, 2010 2:30 PM PST up reply actions

$12 for me as well

I guess we can’t ask for everything, especially when we’re on the other side of the world!

by ajaxpenny on Jan 12, 2010 3:29 PM PST up reply actions

I'm just happy that they deliver here at all.

by EnglishMariner on Jan 13, 2010 1:25 AM PST up reply actions

Well this is tremendous news

I’ll have mine ordered before the days out

by aussie_chop on Jan 12, 2010 2:48 PM PST up reply actions

Yep

My order went through fine.

Got to say, even $12 shipping is pretty reasonable.

Cannot wait.

If they knew what they were getting themselves into, demand-wise. They’re based in MA, so they’re clearly accustomed to rabid fanbases, but they may not have encountered one quite so monomanically focused and web-oriented. Of course, all the LL and USSM diehards who order on the first day from them presumably won’t be buying one in stores. It’ll be interesting to hear how sales go among the wider fanbase.

by wandergeist on Jan 12, 2010 1:26 PM PST reply actions

I suspect their local rabid fanbase doesn't read much.

by Postureduck on Jan 12, 2010 2:30 PM PST up reply actions 1 recs

Also, copy ordered.

I can’t wait.

by Postureduck on Jan 12, 2010 2:31 PM PST up reply actions

Considering they are still selling the BoSox Annuals from 2007 and 2008

on Amazon, their local rabid fanbase apparently doesn’t look at a calendar much either.

Rec'd for the Critic.

Oh, and because of the book.

I will smash your face into a jelly.

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Jan 12, 2010 1:27 PM PST reply actions

It's better though. Gutierrez and Felix are on the cover*

so it’s the book that makes you hard.**

*I don’t actually know who or what is on the cover.

**This joke is immature. My apologies.

According to the website, Ichiro is on the cover

by seattlebruin on Jan 12, 2010 1:50 PM PST up reply actions

I'd feel wrong getting hard with Ichiro.

Felix and Guti, less so.

by EnglishMariner on Jan 12, 2010 2:23 PM PST up reply actions

Ichiro is on the cover.

by wazzu93 on Jan 12, 2010 1:50 PM PST up reply actions

Well that changes whether or not I'm ordering

by seattlebruin on Jan 12, 2010 1:47 PM PST up reply actions

Ordered,

This is awesome.

NoScript does NOT like that website.

Keys to the 2010 Season

“Take a walk”
“Down Memory”
“Lane”

I get the first one, but the others are so Krueger-esque that they could mean anything.

by Janic on Jan 12, 2010 2:48 PM PST reply actions

Short on money at the moment, so I'll just pre order it in February or something.

And done.

This should shatter some kind of record.

There is a top 10 bestseller list on there...

Target locked.

by MarkE on Jan 12, 2010 3:17 PM PST up reply actions

It appears to be up to number 5 already

That’s quite a showing in less than a day on pre-sale

by Indigo_Satellite on Jan 12, 2010 9:24 PM PST up reply actions

Lovely, done, ordered

£15 I probably can’t afford, but you only live once!

by Indigo_Satellite on Jan 12, 2010 3:26 PM PST reply actions

Anyone else having trouble ordering with Discover?

Says “The card type you have selected does not match the number entered. Please try again.” I’ve double checked and tried 3 times now.

Stupid social pariahs still using Discover…

but it’s so awesome I don’t give a damn how big it is.

I am so happy to see this.

I have looked in vain for it for years.

Where I got this one — from this thread at some obscure baseball blog….

by wandergeist on Jan 12, 2010 10:38 PM PST up reply actions

Didn't the team used to have a ship that fired off canons or something?

I’m probably just combining the tugboat with the Buccaneers boat. Pre 1990’s Mariners…I wasn’t missing much.

For the life of me I can't find the bestseller list.

Care to provide a link?

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Jan 13, 2010 8:47 AM PST up reply actions

Go into the shopping cart.

You might be able to do it without adding anything to it, but I don’t see that link. If you go to order a book, when you get to the cart it’ll be on the right hand side.
