looks like they are giving 20% discount on multiple copys tho, i bet if u shoot them a email u could get a good discount and reduced shipping or talk them into doing a pdf due to the crazy shipping, i dunno how popular that book is but seems like it could almost be something that would fit in the shroomery store, or just round up 10-20 people out of the pub for a mass order

129 dollar is a 'bit' to much for me to spend on a book. It's ridiculous that 1/3 of the price goes to shipping. I'll wait until I can get my hands on it for a much lower price.
I'm really really really curious about the book! Pihkal was a good read!

Has anyone read it yet? And not that I've read either, but how is it different than PiHKAL and TiHKAL? Is it good?

Sounds to me like he goes into more scientific detail in this book than in PiHKAL and TiHKAL, such as metabolites, pharmacological mechanism of action, etc, rather than just the psychological effects.

Obviously not autographed, but a quality scan. Dowloadable by torrent. $200 in bitcoin, it is up on a seedbox right now, waiting to be downloaded Possible trade for something, like a digital product / gift card code, of equal or greater value.
Obviously once I've let someone download it, I can't really stop them from sharing it beyond that, so it would be up to them to keep it to themselves.
It is a higher quality scan than a previous one, coming in at just over 300MB.

Am I missing something here? You're asking 200 dollars for a digital download that you have of a book that now retails for 50-60 dollars? I don't think you'll fit in that well here, no offense.

That's exactly what he's saying. Had to read that post twice to digest it. I reported the post and saw that he was banned a few minutes later (he may have been banned before I reported it, though).

I've ordered mine finally, its literally in the post as we speak. I got a good deal for it and pay as much for it as US retail, despite added 21% VAT tax and home delivery.
As I told a friend, this is a book you may not need now, but which you got to have in case life takes and unexpected turn.

$85 for the book +$44 international shipping --------------------------- = $129 for a BOOK
If a gram of 2C-E was included with the book YES, at this price NO.
I probably wouldve gone for the $85 because it directly sponsors mr Shulgin but.. $44 international shipping? NO.
That shipping cost is OUTRAGEOUS, its as much money as ordering the PiHKAL + TiHKAL book deal. (which is a great deal)
And this while there are reduced postage rates for printed matter.
$44 for shipping, is it hand delivered by a medieval herald on horseback?! And we get +20% Value Added Tax added to it here in Europe for importing it.. Unacceptable.
I was gonna do it prolly for $85, but the $44 in shipping beyond continental North America makes it a dealbreaker. I'll have to wait until the book price drops enough to make the shipping somewhat palatable or, preferably, until Transform Press selects a sane shipping method.
Mr Shulgin, if you're listening: please consider also publishing digitally in PDF format, so that people can buy a download. This assures your work is spread much faster and across a wider audience, and at no shipping cost. Or a DVD with bonus multimedia content, people will be guaranteed to be VERY interested in this kind of documentation of both your work and your life. This is a golden opportunity to have your work and bio preserved, digtally, in multimedia format for many generations and centuries to come. You're one of the greatest scientists of our time, don't slip into obscurity as the decades and centuries go by. Whatb if one like Newton or Einstein had the opportunity? Da Vinci? Please, seize the opportunity.
the dude is poor as fuck right now.
they both need money for medical bills.
i plan on buying it. full price.

Yeah he can barely afford to pay for his medical bills, you people should check out his facebook page, they regularly have to ask for donations.
I understand it's a lot of money, but we pretty much owe it to him

I'd really like to know if it includes the NBOMes, would you mind looking when you get it?

Pretty sure it doesn't.. Can't tell you for sure though, I don't have my copy here.

I bet it does. Shulgin knew of Nichols, and the original work is even older.

Gonna buy an autographed one, and also gonna snag pihkal and Tihkal as well. Ole Alexander isn't getting any younger, I want to nab me those signed books before he passes. I really hope he lives long enough complete the 2nd part of this book, I've alway more of a tryptamines guy, 4-HO-MIPT is an obsolutely beautiful chemical, if you get a chance to do some do it, my fav RC that isn't banned currently

It's a little bit more technical than Pihkal & Tihkal though, I'd say you have to know a little bit of chemistry if you really want to enjoy this book. It's really not that complex though, and it is a must have
