I placed my first order directly with IDW to purchase their website exclusive Hardcover of their new OGN about Godzilla, Monster Island Summer Camp. I placed the order Thursday along with the hardcover of War For Humanity which comes out this coming week and selected 7 day free shipping.
Well, today a package arrived with the newly released Monster Island Summer Camp, along with two IDW FCBD issues I already had. I wish I took a picture of the packaging, but it was steller. A flat cardboard book shipper thing, but with a later of extra cardboard inside, with a cardboard envelope inside that, which had the books inside wrapped in bubble wrap. One of the most impressive and well packed items I've ever received, and shipped in a way that got to me almost instantly. I look forward to digging into the book.
It's a smaller book, the size of their digests which the paperback also was. For some reason, I thought the hardcover was gonna be deluxe sized, but that's my bad for not paying attention. Between that and the binding being glued, I'm a little disappointed. But the book itself is very pretty. The artwork on the front AND back cover is embossed. It has some fun special features in the back, but I assume those are in the standard release and the only difference is the hardcover itself.
You can see a picture of it next to a standard trade paperback and digest sized paperback from IDW for size comparison.
The War for Humanity hardcover I ordered comes next week. The standard release is a trade paperback and not digest, so I'm curious to see if that gets a standard hardcover size or is also this smaller digest sized hardcover. I will see soon.
All the same, highly recommend buying from them just for the amazing care in packing and speedy arrival.
