This looks really neat. How many patterns does the book come with?

[Algesiras]

Is it possible to buy it when you are not in USA? The site form writes "USA" by default for the country...

[biscuitbear]

Yes, you can change the country.

[Sikona]

Will this be available for sale in bookstores that carry Haute Doll magazine (and if so, bookstores that carry the magazine OUTSIDE the U.S.)?

[purplewiz]

This looks really neat. How many patterns does the book come with?

Also, can you give a summary of what the patterns are and what dolls they are sized to fit?

Thanks!

Marcia.

I already paid for my subscription earlier today, ironically enough - but when I try to preorder the book, it seems as if it's taking me to a screen about ordering a 2 year subscription. Which I already did.

What am I doing wrong? I don't want to pay again for another 2 year subscription, I just want to preorder the book. Thanks!

That's weird. I just clicked the shopping bag picture on the right of the description and it adds the book to my cart.

This sounds great- but does your website only accept credit card? I'd rather use paypal.


Also, a full list of patterns, and what doll they will fit would be fantastic!

The only options I saw were VISA or MC.

Just a note to say, that if this book sells well, we could do another book of a similar format (ie, interviews, tutorials, exclusive sale items, patterns, etc...) So please support this book so that we can have more books like this in ENGLISH!

I know I'm biased because I worked on the book, but really, you don't have to have worked on it to appreciate how special the book is. There are no books like this in English. We're always stuck trying to figure out from the pictures only how to sew things or do faceups from awesome books like Unoa Freak or Dolly Dolly or Dollybird because unfortunately they just aren't in English. So the more support the book gets, the more stuff like this we can do in the future, and hopefully get even more artists involved next time!!


PATTERNS: This is just the list based on what I remember, ok? I dont have the whole list in front of me...

PATTERNS:
Mio: Unoa jean skirt pattern

Tristine Citrine for CosWorx: SD Breezy Dress for SD and SD13 sized girls

Judy of Obsidian Pearl: Buckram Bonnet and Dress and Cape Pattern - SD girls

Ted Menten: I dont remember which pattern he did, sorry...

Biscuitbear: Pink Fluff Unoa knitting pattern

Sofly She Walks: I'm not sure, I think it was an SD13 boy pattern?

Also, just in case you didn't know... Fancyboots made a special, totally gorgeous, Liebchen being sold only through this book. It's the doll featured on the cover.

The interviews all include exclusive photos from the artists being interviewed. All the people we interviewed are really awesome, and actually many of them, it's very rare to get an interview in English with them. I'm really happy we were able to interview these people. Most of the interviews ask them about how they got started, how they feel about their work, their working process, that sort of thing. (including Fancyboots, Hypermaniac, Anu, Mikey-Artist of Zoukei-mura and Volks, Inc., Kyon, Nana, JuJube, Mio )

and some of the people we got faceup, blushing, etc... tutorials from... O_O... I haven't even seen all the tutorials myself, and I am DYING out of anticipation!!! All of the artists are really awesome.... not to mention the exclusive outfits being sold only in the book by really famous artists too.

The cover has the artwork itself on the inside cover, and then has an additional plastic cover on the outside with silver feathers printed on it, if this makes sense.

Will this be something we can order into a bookstore? If so, is there an ISBN for it? I'd like to know because I will order copies into my work and put them on display/employee recommends.

As said,does Hautedoll not take Paypal?Unfortunately I don't have a Visa or Mastercard as that isn't available for under 18s yet (I have Visa Electron on my other card,but that's a different thing).

Also,how do we know much shipping will cost for each country? (I'm in the UK).

[BoneBagz]

is this something that will be available where haute doll mag is sold? Can it be ordered into a bookstore? I get my haute doll at Chapters, so I wonder if I can get it through them? I do not have a CC but would like to order a copy.

The shipping for the UK is $10.50 - sounds like Global Priority large envelope to me.

[JRyu]

I'd love to pre-order the book...but the site says they won't ship to a P.O. box!
A P.O. Box is the only address I have for stuff coming by USPS!
If the book is shipping by mail, it would have to come to my P.O. box, there is no mail delivery service to the area I where I live!

The site doesn't say how the book will be shipped, and only UPS or Fedex will deliver to my home address.

How can I pre-order the book?

[Henny]

Will this be available from book stores, or only through Haute Doll?

[karenc]

This book will be sold directly by Haute Doll and through various doll shops and merchants. It will not be on the newsstand. Hope this helps!
