re: my previous comment (yay! :-)
Hello Oli,

Thank you for contacting us. The ten percent discount is available offline and if you would like us to deliver the book via USPS flat rate then the price would be cheaper. The cost of shipping a FontBook via USPS flat rate box would be $37.00 to japan on top of the $89.00 for the FontBook. This rate is only available offline and you would have to contact us with a credit card, billing address, and a shipping address. We can be reached at 1-888-FF-Fonts or you can fax me the details at 415-252-1331. If there is anything else that I can help you with then please let me know.

Regards,

Theresa

What good timing - DaringFireball (an Apple/web/design weblog) has fontShop as the RSS feed sponsor this week:
feed://daringfireball.net/feeds/articles
10% off FontShop goods, including FontBook! You apparently need to contact them via email post-ordering to get the discount though (adding “Gruber” to the discount code box on the order page didn’t work for me).

However, currently the postage to Japan is more than the book (!)—I’m going to email them and ask if there’s a cheaper way. Unfortunately it’s out of stock on Amazon.

peace - oli

PS LaurenMarie—if you’re still seeing it in stock can you post the link here please?

Great post, Johno, I especially love when you review books! This one may have to wait until the day when I’m more serious about type, like (hopefully) doing an official study of it, or something like that. But until then, I’ll dream of the font book! Big, yellow dreams… :)

Also, like LaurenMarie, it feels like it’s been ages since I’ve been here, although it’s probably only been a week. Always good to come by, though!

Priceless!. Deserves to be in the article. Sorry about the image being stripped. Not sure why (again). Fixed now.
