1. AZOETIA now sold

[Mykaljon]

As a dedicated collector of the works of Andrew Chumbley, I would request that anyone with material like this offer it directly to me - I would certainly have bought the AZOETIA, and I would have paid more than 700 GBP for an inscribed copy such as this - but I note that the timestamp on the post was 4:21 am, and the notice that the item had sold was at 8:59 am - I am on West Coast time (PST, British Columbia) , and I rarely am up checking for books for sale at 4:30 am.

Just a notice that if anyone has any particularly great Chumbley pieces for sale, I can always be contacted directly, either by pm or by email to mjt@mjtbooks.com.

Also looking for several other Xoanon titles, including the leatherbound deluxe issue of VIRIDARIUM UMBRIS, FYI.

With thanks and Kind Regards,
Michael John Thompson (Mykaljon).

Hey Michael,

I'm also in the same boat as you. I'm also in British Columbia (way up north... not out on the islands as you are  ) but I frequently check to see if I can get a copy of Azoetia on LAShTAL and other forums, in particular the Sethos, but the prices are always priced staggeringly high (I've seen $1,200 for just the SETHOS - not inscribed, deluxe, special or Behena!). Unfortunately our sleep schedule allowed us to miss out on this one.

I was very sad to hear that I couldn't obtain the title but much like Michael, I'm also very much interested in a copy that I can put to use - it's the only hole in my Xoanon library. So if there are copies floating out there with individuals wanting to part them on, I figure I'll throw my name in the pot.

All the best,

Derek

I would certainly have bought the AZOETIA, and I would have paid more than 700 GBP for an inscribed copy such as this -

I have seen copies of the Sethos-Behena edition regularly go for double that amount - the price is usually around the £1,500 mark - so that was an absolute steal at only £700 UK pounds.

Although having said that, the talisman was missing, so I guess that the item would not have made the top price, but was still a very good buy at £700.

[Mykaljon]

The talisman was missing, but it was very nicely inscribed.

Weiser sold one for $2750 US from their last list, and that was within a matter of hours.

I have one, with the talisman and the booklet and all, but it is not inscribed. I paid $2200 for it 2 years ago. 

Yes, I certainly would have paid more than 700 pounds for this copy.

With all due respect to the people involved here, I'm not sure how productive it is to discuss what people would have paid for a book that has already been sold! I'm sure the seller priced this at a price that they felt was reasonable and the buyer bought it at a price they were willing to pay. Sellers have been criticised for overpricing books on here before, I'm not sure it's helpful to criticise sellers for underpricing books as well! These are tough economic times, and the number of people in a position to buy a book priced at around £700 is very small. A book will only sell for the price someone is willing to pay for it. If people see what they see as a bargain and miss out on it, well, that's the way it goes. Other opportunities arise, it's not the end of the world! 

[michaelclarke18]

With all due respect to the people involved here, I'm not sure how productive it is to discuss what people would have paid for a book that has already been sold!

I quite like to discuss these things and I feel that it will be of help to others in the future - in that sense I think it productive. Ultimately the 'market' does decide, and on that basis I have many items I have chosen not to sell.

However, I do accept there will always be those who will wish to prevent such discussions.

[Mykaljon]

Perhaps LiberShaun has a point - it's all spilled milk after the book has been sold -  but the listing did say 'offers around 700 pounds", and then 4 hours later the listing was updated to state that the book was sold - i.e., the book was not specifically priced in the first place. One might think that if the book were being subject to 'offers", a short waiting period might help to attract said offers, specifically from people who live in other time zones and could not see the posting when it originally came out. That, I believe, is the point which I wish to make here. Sure, it may have been inexpensive at 700 GBP; but it certainly did not have to be. And while I do not encourage driving up the prices of works of art and magic such as this, books which are greatly desired by many should perhaps be made available on a more even playing field. And somehow market factors do have to play a role when items are being offered on the open market - my opinion here being that the book in question was not offered on the open market, but offered in a sort of quasi auction, but nobody was really allowed to bid.

May the buyer be blessed with the magic of the text and the grace of Sethos - we are all players in the game of chance, and we all find that which finds us.

I don't think that LiberShaun was trying to prevent such discussion; he was just voicing his opinion that in this instance it was all rather beside the point.

[christibrany]

Only point i care to make is that they need to reprint the thing....
Unless dragon book of essex will be a healthy replacement. Either way i am excited for that one....

[N.O.X]

 I too am looking forward to "The Draconian Grimoire/The Dragon Book of Essex".  If it is published like the original edition (for CS members only) it will be  1200+ pages spanning three books.  If "Azoetia" is ever reprinted it at all, I don't forsee it happening for quite some time.  There's Schulkes second volume in his  GAMMAEAS work and "The Draconian Grimoire/The Dragon Book of Essex" coming out "soon".  I hope that the "Auraeon" will be published eventually and maybe some more of the Monadic Transmissions by Chumbley like "The Satyr's Sermon". 

[defile959]

I had hoped that we might see a reprint of Azoetia sometime this year, considering that it is the 20th anniversary of the book's publication. Like others have mentioned previously, I anxiously await the eventual release of additional grimoiric material penned by Chumbley. In the meantime, Schulke's works always resonate deeply with me, and I am really looking forward to the release (whenever it may be) of "Midnight's Table" by Robert Fitzgerald.

Like N.O.X. mentioned, I wonder if we will see additional wider releases of certain Monadic Transmission books. The Satyr's Sermon was excellent, and beautifully produced.

You have to agree that he succeeded though?

If I didn't think that he was trying to prevent discussion, then I'm hardly likely to agree that he succeeded. The lack of activity on this thread is more likely due to it not being one of the more riveting threads.
