3rd Edition Past Sins Printing Is Available · 2:12am Jul 23rd, 2018
So, as some folks have been messaging over the past few days, a certain website has put up for purchase new copies of Past Sins.
I am happy to say that this is all true, and in a good way. For a little history: The Ministry of Image has been around for 3+ years. They started out primarily doing printings of Russian translations of popular MLP FiM stories, including a Russian translation of Past Sins. Now, they've taken a step to expand their scope to include English versions.
And I am happy to say that Past Sins stands amongst the stories currently available in English. Furthermore, this 3rd edition features brand new cover art and per-chapter art! So if you've been waiting with baited breath for a chance to purchase Past Sins, that opportunity has arrived.
A few important bullet points:
1) I've asked that this printing to be done as close to cost as possible, and I've been assured by my contact with the Ministry of Image that is true. I am personally not taking any profit from this, and I'm doing it entirely by choice.
2) I have given this group permission to do the printing, but any purchase or shipping issues you experience if you order a book can only be resolved by the Ministry of Image
3) Right now Past Sins is in a pre-order phase. Shipping, I've been told, will begin in September.
4) The Ministry of Image has a long track record of successful story printing projects, but as always, be careful when shopping online.
And, that's about it. I want to extend a special thank you to the Ministry of Image for reaching out to me and making this possible. I simply do not have the time to ever hope to do this myself, so it takes groups like Equestria Publications and now the Ministry of Image to make projects like this possible. Hopefully, we'll see even more fandom favorites get the printed treatment they richly deserve.
I hope I could be so lucky as to get a hardcover version of one of my fics someday...
I actually still have my second edition at least I think it's second pretty sure it is.
Crazy, I just finished re-reading my second edition early today. If there was a hard cover compilation of all the other stories in the series I would definitely buy that. Reading The Road Home on my computer isn't the same as a nice book.
Wow, that new cover art is gorgeous.
Hey man, I just wanted to say congrats on this and also thank you. Seriously, I want to thank you so much for writing such a great story. I became a fan of the show about a year and a half ago and loved it since, but since I heard about it having fanfiction I was skeptical. Then I read THIS story and from there began a journey for me to read many more fics to come to pass. And it was because of you. To this day THIS story is still my favorite and even inspired me to write a couple of my own so thank you.
Keep up the good work my good man
So... where can we find these new books?

So this will be just like your book when you had it made those years ago, how much will it cost anyway and since it's from Russia how long would it take to be shipped over here to the U.S.?
WHere's the link to make a purchase?

Canāt wait to get my copy

Possibly
How long has Past Sins been in print?
Wow nice cover, but I'm glad to have gotten one of the first editions.
Is this not illegal? Just a question.
THANK YOU for letting us know
I've seen article on Equestria Daily, but I had no idea that Past Sins is part of that.
Ordered!
Also for other people
I'm from Czech Republic (Europe) and payed with PayPal
it cost me $25 for book and $35 for postage + payment

Granted that this is topic from the Author of the book I don't see any way how it can be illiegal
Wow. Is it going to be in some other languages, like my native language? Or is it just going to be in those languages?

I mean selling mlp stuff that is not made by Hasbro. I thought we could make fanfic as long we nver made a money from it. But when I think about it, there are people that make plushis and other stuff, so I guess I just answered my own qustion.
A classic story given the treatment it deserves.
It is difficult to express how inspirational this story is to me and I am delighted that it continues to be so successful.
Note: Shipping is $30 for the first book and $10 for each subsequent one. Thus I'd suggest ordering more than one book at a time. I've been paying close to $30 for most of the books I have shipped from the US to Europe, so to me this looks like a pretty good deal.
I placed an order a few days ago, including copies of Past Sins and Pink Eyes despite already owning first editions of both. I may have a problem.
YEEEEES I've been waiting for this. But man 30 bucks shipping from Russia inside of Europe that's expensive.

*Looks it over*
Yes you do.
You don't have enough books! How do you expect to keep bookhorse fed without more books!?
*sigh* Once again when I have no bits. *shakes angry hoof at the universe*
Congrats on this being so popular!
I need to tell my brother about this when I see him on Wednesday. That and a friend of mine whom I have gotten hooked on Pony fiction. (Past Sins was the very first Pony fiction she read)
Dat cover image, tho...
Dat cover art makes me and my first edition jelly. Massively so.
So happy when I came across this. My friend lost my original copy and I thought I would never get another chance to get another printed copy.
Just preordered and can't wait for September.

I'm from Iowa, it was $30 for me as well as for my friend in Minneapolis. So most likely. They are shipping out across the pond so the $30 does make sense.
Great price, but shipping if from Russia makes it EXPENSIVE!
And by a stroke of uncanny coincidence, I get paid in a few days.
Past Sins as my first physical fimfic. Who'da thunk it?
How do you buy them from the site?
Ouch, that shipping hurts :(
One day I would love to buy a physical copy of Past Sins.

Use Paypal. It's the easiest way. If you want to use your credit/debit card, however, select manual payment when the option comes up. A warning, though, not all cards are accepted.

One of these days I might be able to find a copy that doesn't cost $50
Ordered mine on July 24 and still am waiting for it to come in. Iām hoping it will soon.
love the new cover art
Just got the 3rd edition of Past Sins from The Ministry Of Image, and it is a really well done book.
Hi, have you decided which fanfic you are going to write next?
