Matt Small LSG Books arriving!, by robinbanks on Nov 30, 2007 11:49:32 GMT 1, Just got my Matt Small book in the post. The hand finished print/original is gorgeous btw.
The standard of packing was p*ss poor though - not happy 
They just wrapped it in some tissue and stuck it in one of those cardboard please do not bend envelopes FFS!
So mine isn't exactly mint AND the interview that they decided to add which delayed the postage has been haphazardly glued in - some of which is on the page my print is on! I aint happy!!

Yep - a bit like telling George Bush not to press the red button.

I read somewhere that people follow positive instructions much more readily than negative ones. 'please keep flat' would be better. Although I did read it on the internet, which means it's probably a load of crap.

Matt Small LSG Books arriving!, by robinbanks on Nov 30, 2007 12:14:31 GMT 1, TBH is not as bad as I first thought, but still, I think they should have taken a bit more care. Did I not read a post saying that they ordered some packaging but decided it wasn't up to the job - f*ck knows what that must have been like - tesco carrier bag probably.
Anyway, what I need to do now is to decide whether or not to separate the print (not sure if that's the right word for it) from the book to frame it. Any ideas???
Will post some pics later - it is sooo nice though! ;D

Planning to cut mine out and frame it but don't have the $ to do it properly unfortunately

Can't wait until I get my copy of the limited book. Going try to work out options, as I really would rather not slice it out of the book.
As a complete side note, where does the UK + white box frame come from? Several friends and I have discussed about how you never really see Stateside members using it, but that it seems to be almost a default choice for UK'ers.....

Matt Small LSG Books arriving!, by CR on Dec 1, 2007 10:35:43 GMT 1, hey, got mine today and its great!
Still not sure how to frame it. Would love to hear how you would frame it in the book Gary, because the inside of the book is glued onto the cover and if you fold the back page flat, the book starts to come out!
Can't wait to see some examples of what people come up with though!

It definitely needs displaying somehow though!!

ok, ok, i hadnt seen the book - thought it might be pamphlet like, so could be folded over and framed without cutting. pretty stupid, but that's what red wine does to m,e!
got mine today - 45 quid very well spent. colour is lovely, image strong . quality 
think its gotta go on wall, esp as quite small and so shouldnt be too hard to find a space for it, which is a real prob as at mo, it one up, one down 
great work tlsg and ms.

Matt Small LSG Books arriving!, by sausageboonwee on Dec 2, 2007 10:15:35 GMT 1, Mine arrived yesterday and fortunately arrived without damage. It is twice the size I thought it would be and really nice. I still think the only way to go with it is to cut it out. He should have sold the book with the print slotted in so it could be removed. Looking forward to seeing how others are going to frame theirs.
