The Book is Finished

[imp]

The title pretty much covers it, but I want to share the good news that I submitted the "Director's Cut" of Mego 8" Super-Heroes: World's Greatest Toys! to the publisher. In the coming weeks, my publisher will review the book and make edits as necessary.

However, after nearly four years, the truly hard part is finally over.

The book remains on schedule for an October 25, 2007 release.

Best,

Benjamin

I'd like to add that the project was completed as a result of Rob Chatlin's tireless efforts and marathon editing sessions. Thanks to Rob, the book will come out on time. Thank you, Rob!

Well done Benjamin (and Rob too) ... FANTASTIC NEWS!

Let me add my congratulations as well. A momentous occassion, and another huge hurdle overcome. Now push the publisher to release it two weeks early, and I can have one in time for my 40th birthday.

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

And thanks to Rob as well for helping Benjamin

Congrats Benjamin. Very cool to complete something you've put blood, sweat and tears into for so long. I can't wait to see the finishd product.

Now, what the heck are you going to do with your spare time?

Congrats Benjamin. I know it was a lot of hard work but I also know it will be well worth it. This will be the Mego book for sure. And thanks for helping Rob. I'm sure you didn't mind since you got a "sneek peak" at it. I lift my drink to you both (and everyone else who helped by supplying pics or doing anything to help make this a reality).

Bravo! Congratulations on a titanic accomplishment, Benjamin. I know it will be a great success. It already is. Now you can get some rest and join the world again! The sun is shining, the birds are singing...

Congratulations on finishing her, what a wild achievement. I'm sure the years of work will reflect on every page. Now please tell twomorrows to "print faster"

Benjamin,

I have a good idea what a herculean effort this book has been for you. A lot of hard work, sacrifice, and diligence were involved, and I have no doubt that the outcome is tremendous. A truly landmark book not only in our hobby but in the realm of collectibles. A work of art. Your book should be a model for other hobbiests to emulate. Thank you thank you thank you for making this incredible pursuit a reality and doing it first class!

Congrats, Ben!

Let me echo the ackknowledgement of the work you put into this and the rollercoaster ride to get to this point. I know you've painstakingly focused on having some incredible pictures and layouts for this tome. Your love for these little guys will surely be reflected. You can be proud.

Plus my girlfriend said you're a pretty cool guy and she doesn't like anyone

Congrats and I can't wait.

Congrats Benjamin! I cannot wait to see this book. I know I am really really late, but is there still a way I can get a signed copy?

PS. Thank you for releasing it just prior to my birthday,
