    Agreed. And that were tech issues, which I don't think is his expertise. This kind of things happen. And the good thing is that they are almost sell out on all the books. And this is a great news!

    (By the way, seem to have been a paypal issue for me. But it will be dealt with)

    Hi Shachar,

    As you will likely have noticed, we had some pretty major problems with our website at the pre-order for Stardust. Some people were able to see the payment links and some people weren’t. Firstly, we’d just like to apologise sincerely if this meant that you were unable to get the book of your choice. This is not the start we wanted for this project and we are extremely sorry for everything that has happened.

    We can see that you successfully went through checkout and made an order. To add insult to injury, there may also be a problem with some of the earliest payments being processed by PayPal. Some of them are being put on a hold and a couple have been cancelled.

    Your payment is one that has been put on hold. Let us first just stress that your order is secure and no payment has been taken at our end. PayPal are holding it temporarily. The book/s is/are yours. What PayPal have advised is that you find the order in your PayPal account and cancel it at your end. When you have been fully refunded we will manually issue you with an invoice. We are not expecting this to happen immediately, it takes as long as it takes. Of course, if you wish to now cancel your order please let us know. We are here to help you with this so please message us if you need any assistance.

    Once again, we’re extremely sorry about this. To say it has been a disaster is an understatement! We are trying our best to get things back on track.

    Kind regards and apologies again for the inconvenience caused over the last 12 hours.

    Rich @ Lyra’s Books

    Same here, mine was put on hold but paypal advised to cancel it on my end and, when this has fully refunded to me, i will receive an invoice from Rich to make the payment.

    I am looking forward to receiving this edition. 😎

    I couldn't order anything but the blue edition. Later I was able to purchase a mustard which is what I wanted. Ass out as far as the leather edition though.

    And 60 of the mustard standard left.
    Pretty safe to say this will be a completely sold-out publication before the end of this week.

    Everyone that ordered or tried to order probably received this, but I thought I'd post it here as well:

    I'm sure a lot of you are aware that we experienced some disastrous problems with the website on Saturday evening when the pre-order opened. There was a glitch in the website which meant that some people were able to see the ‘add to basket’ buttons and some weren’t.

    As you can imagine, this is not something I wanted to happen and I’m lost for words to express how saddened I am by it all. I had wanted everyone to have a fair and equal chance at getting any of the remaining editions after the equally disastrous early reservation decision a few months ago. Obviously, the major glitch we experienced at the weekend put paid to that idea.

    It was always going to be a scramble for the Leather and Lettered editions but it should have worked a lot more smoothly. All I can offer to those people feeling upset or angry that their time was wasted is my apologies. I am so very sorry and please know that this isn’t how I wanted this project to begin.

    I think next time (if there is a next time) we might look into alternative ways of doing the pre-order. Something where everyone is given a better chance at a copy. And no early reservations (which caused even more problems). I took those early reservations because I was uncertain how well this project would do. I was 100% wrong with my prediction and I am truly humbled that these books have caused such a strong response.

    Once again, I am so sorry. I am heartbroken that this happened.

    All the best,

    Rich @ Lyra's Books

    Looks like a stunning production. If it was a book / author I was interested in, I would have jumped on it. If Lyra's Books continues to publish books, it looks like it's going to be committed to quality craftsmanship and attentive customer service... Would be great to see another press continue to raise the bar (a la Suntup)...
