"The Shape of Design" by @fchimero is back in print. I'm sorely tempted to order a copy. Scratch that: I think I'll just order it.

@maguay shipping price is what is hurting me. Hate living two hours over the border and having to pay lots extra. @fchimero

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Yeah … it’d be $16 to ship to Thailand, or $7 to ship in the States and have someone bring it to me. But it’s too close to when I have relatives coming over to get that shipped to them.

nathansnelgrove

@maguay I have a friend in the States but it’s not worth it to bother her when the ebook is free.

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Honestly, the int’l shipping price is semi-reasonable for coming to Thailand. But I just ordered, oh, $100 worth of books as a Christmas splurge that my sister is bringing from the States so I shouldn’t do this. But … The Shape of Design!

@nathansnelgrove And right, the eBook is free. I know, I know. I actually paid for the PDF copy back in the day ;) Just happen to love this book.

nathansnelgrove

@maguay for Thailand, definitely. For NYC to Ontario, not so much. Haha but I hear what you’re saying

nathansnelgrove

@maguay it’s a great book

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Yup. It’s something I’d buy to put on the bookshelf and look sophisticated :P I’m an eBook guy anyhow, so this is silly wanting to buy paper books all the sudden. Maybe it’s having a house and wanting nice bookshelves :P

nathansnelgrove

@maguay yeah, I’m going the opposite direction. Less paper the better; not enough space.

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Totally get you — I should do the same. Bahhhhhhhhh

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Also, check your DMs.

maguay

@nathansnelgrove I’m a sucker for beautiful books, and I just hit buy. Oh well :D

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Merry Christmas to me, I suppose. Yikes, I’d better really spoil my wife this year after buying, uh, now like $130 in design books this Christmas :D

nathansnelgrove

@maguay I expect pictures and a review of the binding on TechInch

nathansnelgrove

@maguay time for jewelry!

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Sure thing. I can do that :)

nathansnelgrove

@maguay thank you :) my ever-empty wallet salutes you!

maguay

@nathansnelgrove Mine would, but I just sold its arms and legs.

nathansnelgrove

@maguay Been there and done that
