Looking Glass book now available! · 2:33pm Jan 5th, 2019
EDIT: This book is temporarily out of print because Lulu introduced new options which will allow me to sell the color version at a reasonable price. As a result, I decided to pull it until I have time to make a few fixes and put it back out at a drastically reduced price. If you're interested in buying this book, leave a comment and I'll know to get my ass in gear and do the things I need to do!
Somebunny finally got their copy of Looking Glass and oh damn is it ever great. Got some pictures below the cut, as well as links to where you can get your own if you’re so inclined 
So the book itself is hardcover and 674 pages. Or, as Pasu described it, “it thiccc” 
It has a snazzy dustjacket, but unfortunately nothing cool underneath the dustjacket; Lulu allows either a case wrapped book or a dustjacket, but not both.
I spent quite a while getting the formatting of this book down. I’m of course pretty far from professional and I’m sure there were places I could’ve done a better job on, but all in all I’m happy with it.
No new images were made for the book (aside from the redone cover, which I’ve already blogged about and which has been on Fimfiction for some time now), but it does include every image I have relating to it. This means the first act has a fairly large amount of illustrations, while later acts have far fewer because everyone wanted to draw smol Sunset, but there’s still some illustrations throughout the book.
The links where you can get your own copies if you’re so inclined are at the bottom of the page, but first here’s a few things to keep in mind before buying.
- Most important: This will not support me in any way. I get exactly $0 from every book sold, it’s just something I wanted to put together for me and make available for those who want it. Do not buy this book because you want to support me and my work, only buy it if you genuinely want it.
- This is a good time to point out I have a Ko-Fi for those who do want to support me, whether because you’re buying the book and wanna see me get paid something for it or because you just feel like wasting your money on a word bun. This is absolutely not required, y’all are free to buy the book and/or enjoy my work here on Fimfiction without donating to my Ko-Fi; this is also just for those who are interested. And for those who don’t know about the platform, Ko-Fi is a one-time donation of a few dollars, nothing recurring or anything like that. Essentially it’s a tip jar.
- Because I’m not getting paid for it, these are Lulu’s base prices. I know the full-color version is insanely expensive, but I have no control over that. I don’t actually expect anyone other than me to buy it.
- Examples of how it looks in B&W can be found here.
Maybe one day I’ll be less lazy and update this blog post with the images. - I know the cover looks like crap on Lulu’s page, and the inside images look grainy on their preview tool. This is a problem with the preview tool, not the book. Please ignore the on-site book preview in favor of checking out the images above to see what it actually looks like.
- The manufacturing and shipping process is kinda slow. Probably par for the course for print-on-demand services, but worth mentioning. I ordered mine on December 16 and received it on January 4, about three weeks later. It’s not like ordering a book on Amazon that can ship next day; the book is manufactured when it’s ordered. Not a huge deal, but just throwing it out there so people don’t wonder where the heck their book is.
If I haven’t scared you off buying the book, here’s the black and white version and here’s the full-color version. Note that the black and white version does have a full-color dustjacket; it’s only the interior that’s B&W.
Wow, so cool!

I did not think through Google image searching “thicc” and saw some shit on the way to getting this image...Which one leads to the colored version? Both links lead to the same page. Also congrats.

An important lesson has been learned.

Damn, you're right that's my fault. I fixed it now, but for convenience sake, here's the link to the incredibly expensive full color version.

, so take all my money
.
Brought the overly expensive book
4991541
I'm not taking any of your money though, whatever isn't manufacturing costs goes to Lulu 
Wow, I'm flattered your think so highly of my story to drop that kind of money on it
4991544
How dare they take all the money, we must hunt them down and take all of their money as retribution for their evil acts!
Heresy, heresy I say.
Joking aside, you're welcome.
4991549
I'm all for a good riot, count me in!
It really is amazing how far this series has come since it started. ^^
Oh I was kinda confused why it cost almost $100 but now I get it. I’ll probably just read the story here, but still congrats mate.
I kinda liked having two arms and two legs
Help
This is great Krickis! Congrats! Unfortunately, with shipping, even b&w is still too expensive for me right now.
But the awesome story will always be here.
Hope this year gives me time to read more fanfiction. Happy New Year!

A there's not too many people who have stuck around for it as long as you have 
Indeed, it's been a pretty great ride
4991626
Haha yeah, I don't blame you there in the slightest
4991891
I confess I'm also fond of you having all your limbs. No need to worry about buying a story that's available for free anyway, homie
4991905
Yeah, the shipping on this thing isn't too cheap on top of the base price. Hope the new year is kind to you
So, has anyone sent you pictures of what the interior of the B&W version looks like? I like the color pictures, but nearly $100 is a little rich for a single book :P

Not yet, but it took like three weeks for me to get my copy and that's how long it's been since I made this blog post announcing it, so hopefully soon. One of my friends ordered a black and white copy, so as soon as they get it I'll have some pictures for sure, but they live in France so international shipping might make it take a little longer before they get the book and can send pictures

If you haven’t seen yet, I have examples of the B&W printing up here

Yep, saw it
The link of both versions on Lulu has stopped working. Did you take it down for the rerelease with more pictures or did Lulu messed up. I am asking since I wanted to recommend the book to someone. ^^
5496090
I took it down in preparation for the rerelease. I'd rather people wait and get that then spend money on what's soon going to be an obsolete book
5496104
Okay,
I will still recommend it but with a disclaimer, it will be soon available again.
Furthermore, I will unlist the story in the meantime in the Printed Fiction Hardcopies group.
5496106
That's fair, I didn't even realize that was a group and that I was in it
5496928
You are welcome. And nice that you rediscovered the group. ^^
