First, a note: Serious buyer only, please! ONLY PRE-ORDER IF YOU'RE CERTAIN YOU'RE NOT GONNA BACK OUT. I have no way to force you to pay for the book you've pre-ordered, so I'm going to take your word for it, but I've had problems with people pre-ordering and then bailing out and not paying at the last minute. This happened a lot when I was printing Reborn VHL doujin, so I'm trying to avoid dealing with that this time. Thank you.
If you're interested in pre-ordering, please read on CAREFULLY. There's a lot of information below, so I'm not responsible if you misread any information.

HOW THE PREORDER WORKS:
It's simple: you pre-order the book during pre-order period, pay me the money within payment period, and when the books arrive from the printing company at the end of May, I will mail them out to you. Expect them to be mailed out to you in early to mid June. I will send a notification once your book gets mailed out, but once it's out, it's out of my hands. Shipping time will vary depending on where you live.

WHY PRE-ORDER?
Because when you pre-order, you get EXTRA GOODIES, such as:
* Postcards
* A signed copy of volume 1
* A personalized sketch of any WAITT character in the book
and perhaps a few other things I can't think of at the top of my head at the moment.

HOW LONG IS THE PREORDER OPEN?
Anytime between now and APRIL 3, 2010. That is in 2 weeks. Any order submitted after that will be taken in, but there is no guarantee that there will be any book in stock, which means you will have to wait until I order the second printing of the books.

HOW MUCH IT WILL COST
Essentially, there are two items I'm selling:
** Item A:
1 (one) WAITT comic book volume 1
for $10
** Item B:
1 (one) WAITT comic book volume 1
1 (one) WAITT poster
for $20
Shipping is $5 within the US, $7 to Canada, and $10 everywhere else in the world.
I won't be selling the poster separately, at least not for now. Keep in mind also that if you're ordering the poster, your order might ship a bit later (by a week or two) because the posters are getting printed at a later date.

ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT
I prefer PAYPAL. As much as a bitch it is for them to charge fee per transaction to the seller, it is still the easiest method of payment. If you don't have a paypal account, make one. It's not difficult. You don't even have to give them your bank account or anything like that. All you need is an account on Paypal, and you'll be able to pay me with your credit card.
Payment using Money Order works too. Money order is a very easy method of payment for those of you living in the US. All you need to do is to go to ANY US Post Office, and tell them you want to buy a money order. Say you're paying me $15. Then you tell them you want $15 worth of money order. You will then pay the post office people $15, and they will give you a check/certificate that is worth $15. You will then mail this check/certificate to me.
I am also willing to take concealed cash in an envelope. However: if the cash does get lost in the mail, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. I've received cash payments before and have never had any problems with missing cash, but you never know. It's safest to just use money order since you need to go to the post office anyway to mail out some cash.
AT CONVENTIONS! I will be attending FanimeCon 2010 in San Jose, CA, and Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. If you plan on attending any of these cons, feel free to preorder a copy and pick it up at the con. You can just pay me when you pick up the copy at the con. Picking up WAITT v1 at a convention will also save you shipping money!

WHEN IS THE PAYMENT DUE?
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'm self-publishing, so while I do have the fund to print a certain number of books, it'll be nice to get some money back to cover the printing cost. I'm setting a deadline of APRIL 22, 2010 (which is a month from now) for you to send me the payment. If payment is not received by this date, your pre-order will be canceled.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK'S CONTENT
WAITT volume 1 will have 80 pages total. The content is black and white, but the front and back cover are full-color. The book will contain all the comics you've seen until today since the series was restarted in September 2009. The book will also include some extra illustrations / sketches that are exclusive to the book, character profile pages, as well as some of the questions you've asked in formspring.

HOW TO PREORDER (IMPORTANT!)
To pre-order, you must follow these steps precisely. Failure to follow these steps may result in a lost pre-order form.
To preorder, you must send an email to e57124575@gmail.com with the subject "WAITT PREORDER". Please send the email using an email account you check often, as this email will be the main method of communication between you and me. DO NOT NOTE ME ON DA! I don't check my DA notes often, and sometimes forget to reply to unread messages, so shooting me an email to this address works better.
In the email, copy paste the following, and fill in all the information to ensure proper delivery:
- BLOGGER USERNAME:
- YOUR NAME:
- YOUR COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS:
- YOUR COUNTRY:
- YOUR ORDER: (Item A / Item B)
- DO YOU WANT ME TO SIGN THE BOOK? (yes / no)
- WHICH CHARACTER SKETCH DO YOU WANT?
- HOW WILL YOU BE PAYING? (Paypal / money order / mailed cash / con pickup)
- IF PAYING BY PAYPAL: WHAT IS YOUR PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS?
- IF PICKING UP AT CON: WHICH CON? (Fanime / AX)
Once I get this pre-order email, I will reply to you with the total cost and info on how you can send the payment.
