Hartung's is back!!

Stonius (Markus) · #1 01-09-2016, 12:13 PM

It's available here; https://www.mup.com.au/items/9780522845532

The publisher tells me that the pictures are all in black and white in this edition, for reasons that couldn't be helped.

I'm ordering mine now! :-)

Also just found out that the ePub version will be coming next Tuesday with colour images.

Cheers

Ah, don't thank me, I just sent a couple of emails. Thank the publisher - they did all the work and took all the risk!!

Just as a matter of interest there is someone in Sydney selling a second edition on ebay for $500+, I guess that he will have to drop his price now that a new more easily accessible edition is available.

Has anyone had their copy delivered or anything other than the order confirmation email sent to them? I ordered on Thursday but I haven't had any update other than the initial order confirmation email.

Stonius (Markus) · #8 05-09-2016, 04:04 PM

I ordered on Thursday too. No news as yet...

I've just ordered mine, but with shipping to NZ, it might be a little while.

Not too fussed aboutt he B&W, don't exactly see much colour through the scope anyway

Ordered a Copy, but noticed today on the MUP site you can't find it ? Thanks Markus ......I have emailed them before but never got a reply. I have been borrowing a copy from my local library for years and probably driven the staff nuts with requests to hold or overdue notices including a couple of book replacement fees for $20 �� Tempting but couldn't do it

goober (Doug) · #11 06-09-2016, 10:39 AM

Just received an email - mine has shipped.

Stonius (Markus) · #12 06-09-2016, 12:30 PM

Same. Dispach notice arrived today.

Mine has shipped also.

Hello today I got an Email saying my order of 2 copies of Hartung's Have been shipped - Thank's for your help and research - Tony.

acropolite (Phil) · #16 07-09-2016, 08:01 PM

Ordered last night, thanks for the heads up.

Stonius (Markus) · #17 08-09-2016, 04:59 PM

Got mine today. Lots of information. Looking forward to getting stuck into it. However, I notice the pictures in mine are not simply black and white, but also have a distracting scanline appearance. I'm trying to find out if it's just my copy that has this issue. If anyone else is experiencing this, please let me know.

The ePub version goes up tomorrow, so maybe a comparison between the electronic version and the print copy will shed some light. It will be available here. [Edit; Incorrect download address posted previously. Try this; Hartungs ePub Version #1 or this Hartungs ePub Version #2 ]

Cheers

That doesn't sound good at all. Mine has not arrived yet but I will be sure to post what I find when I do. Hopefully it's just yours. No offence!

None taken. I hope it's just mine too. I've let the publisher know. They're investigating. Aparrently the ePub version doesn't have the same problem, so no answers as yet, but I would like to know the scale of the issue so I can report back to them. Maybe mine was first out of the box and therefore right at the end of the print run or something where the ink ran a little dry? I don't know; I don't pretend to understand the process of making books.

Mine has the same issue. I haven't seen that before - it's quite odd. Almost as if the images have been printed onto fabric. Certainly not up to the quality of my old long gone hardcover 2nd edition, but nice to have it back.
