Futura ๐บ๐ธ Leonard Hilton McGurr โข New York Graffiti Artist, by dreadware on Dec 23, 2020 18:09:29 GMT 1, ย I've an order in with Book Depository since 10/11 - emailed them twice this week (as others have) to ask them to check with their suppliers or directly with Rizzoli in relation to the obviously misinformed date of publication. Both responses were useless - obviously didn't read what I was asking and just reiterated a December 2021 publication. I've asked them to reread my previous requests but tbh I think it's a lost cause. They really have no interest in follow up (probably too much hassle) and I reckon I'll just be requesting a refund the other side of Christmas. Not totally gutted as this has not really turned out the way initially I thought, and whilst they are def a nice thing to have, suspect if I did get one now it would probably just sit on a shelf gathering dust. At least we all know the likes of Book Depository and Amazon are not the way to go for limited editions - always best from source by the looks of it - should have known ๐
Yes,like said before...worst customer service...

There is a big difference between "on" and "by".
If it's "by" 29th Dec 2021, it can mean also 10th of January 
Maybe it's better to ask Rizzoli.

I will wait until Rizzoli finishes delivering to their customers in the US and Canada...and maybe we get something also in Europe.
But that is very bad...is there a way to open a complaint at some European service for customers?  What the Book Depository did I think it's not legal. They took our money in November (paid by Paypal) and they would hold it for one year?

This whole thing has been a sh*tshow and I feel for the people that bought one but wont get one.
Clearly there are a lot bigger issues in the world right now, so I wish everyone good health and sanity for 2021.

If anyone has missed out and wants a copy let me know and I can post a picture of what I finish up getting. Would prefer to post to a UK buyer. Otherwise I need to work something out with Rizzoli.

Is there anyone that did not get this, that ordered from Rizzoli? I just find it hard to believe that I was able to snag this considering I ordered kind of late and this is suppose to be "limited" to 250 or so. Will Futura make more to fullfill orders? This was just confusing but happy to have one.

Futura ๐บ๐ธ Leonard Hilton McGurr โข New York Graffiti Artist, by esfer on Dec 24, 2020 13:37:39 GMT 1, seems like Futura's signature is on a sticker, shows the level of fucks they give
Actually I am pretty sure this is so each Futura signature looks perfect.
It's extra, not less.
Admittedly, I would have preferred that he sign directly...but I don't think it's a sign of laziness, more likely a sign of his being a perfectionist. My opinion of course.
I like these actually and the price was fair for silkscreened edition.

After seeing the pictures, I really thought it wasnโt worth the money, for me. Happy for everyone that already got it. In my opinion the stencil with a splash of color wasnโt worth the difference in price, also considering the big drama for the signatures / not willing to sign them. Only to find out that he kept some for someone and signed them (wtf). I hope someone will enjoy my copy and not resell it straight away to make few bobs.

Only to find out that he kept some for someone and signed them (wtf). I hope someone will enjoy my copy and not resell it straight away to make few bobs. Totally agree with this. I'm going to cancel my Book Depository order ASAP too - having seen both finished version images and now the fact that it looks like a few select copies will actually be hand signed (fair enough I guess but disappointing after all the fuss about not signing). Will still buy a standard version and put the near ยฃ200 difference to something more sensible in the new year..... |

What the Book Depository did I think it's not legal. They took our money in November (paid by Paypal) and they would hold it for one year?
