[Groop] Groo Book arrived (Gary appreciation thread continued)

[Dennis Rasmussen]

IDW Groo Book has arrived safe and sound in Denmark as well! Really
great packaging,
so even the inner box was in NM condition! Yet another big thanks to
Gary for making this 
happen, and thanks to Sergio for taking time to personalize them.

It is certainly a nice piece of a Groo collectible. The best part of the
book are actually those
covers and doublespreads back in the book, with all those crowd scenes.
Very nice!

It looks like Sergio is really an expert in inking pages. You don't see
that many corrections
in the Wager of the Gods pages, except for one intro doublespread.

You are all very welcome.  It seems they are all arriving safe and
sound.  
 
Magnus, I never carried more than 10 at a time from the IDW booth to
Sergio's table.  After packaging, I took them to the post office in two
batches using a hand truck that Sergio had.  
 
Just as I was starting the second run to the PO, a Con Volunteer tried
to stop me from wheeling the hand truck through the crowd.  Fortunately,
George had suggested I get permission from the "Freemen" who were in
charge of that kind of thing, which I had done, so it all worked out.
The Con Volunteer blustered a bit, but I've been dealing with guys like
that for over 30 years, so it really wasn't much of a problem.  A
bureaucrat by any other name...
 
Take care all,  Gary G.

Hi Groop and especially Gary! 

My book arrived in the mail today. I live in Sweden so that means some
international deliveries made it at least!

Gary, I'm impressed. I mean really really impressed with your effort to
make this happen.

I bought this book on-line and never really bothered to check size or
weight.. I figured it was either standard comic size (but hardcover) or
maybe album size... but it's HUGE! And heavy! How many of these did you
carry!? I would think it would be an inconvenience to pick up one extra
let alone a whole bunch of them for people all around the world.

Thank you should also of course go out to Sergio who personalized them
all for us.

Thank you so much Gary! You're really one of a kind.

I sent this to the whole Groop because I thought Gary needed a second
appreciation thread :)
