Pat's Book - Pleasure Thresholds

[Jan]

Press Release via Facebook:

...this behind-the-scenes peek into an actorÆs life during the ôB5 Yearsö is a very personal, honest and occasionally spicy memoir. Make no mistake, this book is not for kids! There are a ton of PatÆs personal, never-before-seen photos, which gives the readers a chance to look into her life and the B5 experience through her eyes. PatÆs unique perspective covers her work on the Paramount lot on all three ôStar Trekö shows as well as the first feature for the ôNext Generationö crew. She also shares details about her years as a stuntwoman on TV and film, while working on Babylon 5, and tells how that affected her work as an actress.

JMS posted about one of the special things about the upcoming book:

I think this is the first time anyone from the cast has done a book like this, certainly the first this thorough, from her POV. It's also signed by she and me, since I did an intro to the book, and there are going to be some big surprise features as well. (Again, the usual disclaimer: I get no part of the sales on this book, it's being done via Jaclyn's company, and I own no part of that, either. Just helping out what I think is a really cool project.)

(emphasis added by me)

So, the regular edition is now being signed?

So, the regular edition is now being signed?

Signed by both JMS and Pat. And the content's been expanded a lot (almost double the word count, I hear) with even more pics than the Comic-Con edition.

ETA: Just realized that the question may have been more of a question as to whether there will be a 'regular' and 'delux' edition. As far as I know, there will only be the one.

And from what I hear, something else *really* cool that's never been done for any of the other books. I can't wait (no, I'm not being a tease, I haven't seen what it is yet, either).

And the lines are open! This is pre-ordering for release on Sept. 21. JMS posted:

As posted elsewhere (and apologies for the double-posting twitter-folks), Patricia Tallman's new B5 multimedia memoir is now available for order. There's a big book with a gazillion photos PLUS uncensored audio commentary on an episode, PLUS an audio interview I did with her that's even MORE uncensored, plus videos, an intro I wrote AND we both signed it. www.b5pat.com

Woo-hoo!! NEW commentary! The disk included with the book includes a new commentary for "Secrets of the Soul" with JMS and Pat. Can't wait for that. The videos look to be very cool, too.

Way too much is listed in the sales copy for me to list here but I'm looking forward to it a lot. There are almost 100 more pages than the Comic-Con version and I already enjoyed that one a bunch.

It's weird: I clicked the link and arrived at a german language website, telling me the book will only be available on September, 21st.

What's going on?

It looks really cool. Some key info from the flier
Pat Tallman's Babylon 5
Multimedia Memoir
$69 on sale for $49
($20 off good through TUES SEP 27)
This book will NEVER be discounted again

Autographed by Pat Tallman,
Autographed by J. Michael Straczynski
The 362-page book includes a disc
with 9 videos, 2 audio features
(JMS interviews Pat & episode commentary)
plus the quote postcard.
The only possible criticism is that, as mentioned previously (and assuming this is still correct), the photos in the interior of the book are black and white (and I am assuming that there are not color versions on the disc).

Now, to find Cafe Press coupons ...

Not that I know of. And last I'd heard, CP wasn't able to do color photos on the interiors of their books.

Oh, but I can't wait to get my hands on that disk! (I already have had a tast of how good the book's gonna be.)

Yes, I found a coupon ....
First I found one that expired yesterday and then a few that didn't apply, but I found
CART0913
which gave me 20% off.
I had added a Lost Dharma magnet to bring my order over $50, so I don't know if that was needed, but I got over $10 off, so that paid for the magnet and shipping.

By the way, when I signed off they asked me to "like" Cafe Press and that revealed another code - LIKEIT - which is good for 15% off with a $30 minimum.

I *always* forgot (for 20+ books) to check here on coupons. It's not that I didn't now as well, I only saw, that I have a bit more time to order, so I didn't right after the announcement.

LIKEIT didn't work for me, but CART0913 for the book+shipping (international) did.

Awesomely big thanks nottenst (I'm on a way too tight budget nowadays)!
