Originally Posted By wangaroa No, a fellow I work with here at (SECRET COOL PLACE) just got one, a former lead deisgner at another (SECRET COOL PLACE). I called M OF G and was told it would be purchaseable through them, but was later told "I've never heard of that. Where'd you say you were calling from?" I thumbed through the hardback--pretty swell... I'll keep nosing about...

Unless another print run was ordered the quantities were fairly limited for both versions.
