I really hope nothing comes of the Miami sequel.

Fuuuuck, I copped the original fasces one but now I want this cover too

>>5486305
I'd like a chance to work in something like this since I missed it, but the miami version felt as if someone wanted anons to write a book for him.

>>5486322
Well I made the cover of it as a joke but then people decided it was a great idea.

>>5486333
all tragedies are misunderstood jokes

>>5486322
I also missed out on the original run (stolen computer) so I'd probably participate in a sequel. But I haven't read any of TLoTiaT yet. Is there any coherent plot? Or even characters? Who edited it? I would think it would up like Finnegans Wake but with memes.

>>5486288
who of you faggots are selling this shit?

>>5486426
I am

>>5486436
No, I am

>listed in Gay and Lesbian
lel

I normally don't participate in this kind of autistic 4chan faggotry but I kind of want to purchase this book. Like with real money.

>>5486464
Don't worry anon, nobody will ever know

it'll be our little secret

>>5486464
Me too. Too bad I live in south america.

>>5486483
You can't buy it in South America? Or is the shipping cazy?

>>5486483
Same here. I'd actually show this to people.

Hmm so I was thinking, what if one of us actually becomes an important writer and this becomes part of his/her oeuvre? English professors a century from now will be picking it apart trying to figure out which parts of this shitheap they were responsible for.

>tfw french is such a beautiful fucking language.

So glad I took some french classes during undergrad. Damn.
>tfw I wish I studied french literature sometimes.

Is there anyway I can study mathematics + french lit? Damn...

>>5486538
Oh, it's not actually in French; it's just what people called the cover.

>>5486491
Shipping is crazy.
>>5486534
Yeah, I want to read that shit in my uni.

>>5486543
I know it isn't. I'm well aware of the project and I lambasted it a week or two ago when someone made a thread about it, calling it a waste of potential. That being said, seeing this cover makes me reminisce about my undergraduate days when I was in my french classes.

Fuck, do I miss french.
>tfw I feel more of a connection to french rather than spanish, the language I'm "supposed" to know because muh culture.
That being said, proper Spanish is amazing; Dominican spanish is eh at best.

>>5486545
Here's the PDF used for the current lulu in A5, maybe you'll be able to find a printer down there.

>>5486557
thanks mang

>>5486288
Boy that looks garbage as fuck

>>5486665
For the last few weeks people have been using the Fasces cover, seen
>>5481392

>>5486675
all the covers are faeces

>>5486704
:^)

>>5486665
it ain't that baaaaad

Hey asshats, use the code GETIT15 before making the purchase.

Anyone have an epub of this?

>>5486288
Damnnnnnnn the shipping price to southern America is ridiculous; anyone knows a SA-based site like lulu, or a workaround to this?

>>5487451
Can't you just google
>self publishing Chile
or wherever you're from

>>5486288
What is this fucking book about?

>>5487463
/lit/ and everything

>>5487221
Boy, code's bullfuck.

>>5486483
>>5487451
What? Where the fuck do you live in SA? Supposedly it's quite easy to get it made, if you visit Peru, Bolivia or the like...

http://www.granta.com/Archive/Granta-109-Work/Life-Among-the-Pirates/1

I bet I'll have the only copy in NZ

>>5486314
same here, goddamn

>>5486704

Thanks to whoever finally made the real French cover. Will be ordering soon.

>>5487484
Argentina. Can't find a place that works "on demand" as lulu does, most here start at 50/100 copies.
I'll keep on looking though, will let you know other SAers if I happen to find anything worth it.

>>5487549
No problem, it's nice to see someone liked it.

>>5486288
Can this cover be had in color?

>>5487915
All covers are in colour, only the text is b&w

>>5487934
Yeah I know. Can I get op's cover with the colored text?

Who is making money off of this?

>>5487938
like clockwork

>>5487938
Fuck off.

>>5487939
No? I don't? But I'm being serious, it's way to overprized to be just the printing cost.

>>5487944
Nobody is making any money whatsoever.

Lulu is taking everything.

>>5487944
>>5487938
Anon once posted a picture showing $0.00USD in revenue but I'm not sure where to find it in the archive

Is the alternate French cover available? I prefer it myself.

>>5487981
it is, see OP under the title of 'french cover' (4th/5th link)

We should make a prequel

>>5487995
please stop

>>5487992
It's not quite the same one.

Nice meme

>>5487543
This cover was never published

just ordered the hardcover b&w

can't wait to show mum

>>5490808
Bring it to bookclub

Oh good, sexy cover is finally in production

This seems really interesting. How did you guys collaborate on it? I mean, did you use any collaborative writing tools?

>>5491638
Yes, your mom. We all used her.

>>5491638
Just google docs

arguably the gayest thing this board has ever done

>>5492193
I know you hate being here anon, but try to look on the bright side of things

There's a mistake on the French cover - the spine is in Italian and the word 'possible' needs to be fixed on the back cover.

>>5493502
>Mistaking Italian with Spanish
>Not getting the joke

"A picture is worth a thousand words."
One second of standard film is 24 pictures, thus 24,000 words.
A standard, 100 minute film, then, is 24,000x60x100 words.
144,000,000 words.

Will we do this, /lit/?
Will we write a movie?
Do we, as a collective, have the balls to write 144 million words?

>>5493519
Is it deliberate?

>>5493528
Title in French, spine in Spanish, back in English. I'd say so.

>>5493522
Fuck no

>>5486288 Stop making threads for the unfinished version.
It's been 16 days and you're still posting the same crap over and over again.

>>5493522
That would be approx the length of 288 Infinite Jests.

I don't think we could do it in less than a year. But it's not impossible. It would, however, be impossible to print in one volume.

>>5493623

>actually bragged to me senile old mum that I got published in a "collection of modern literary quotes"

>>5495811
All the links are up there bro, and the 'french version' is in english

Lulu gets the money

http://www.lulu.com/shop/anonymous/the-legacy-of-totalitarianism-in-a-tundra/hardcover/product-21826153.html

Updated version with my rendition of the original french cover (I can't into photoshop).

The text is from a recent edition of the online document, for people who made late contributions after 1st ed.

>>5495912
by the way, it's hardcover and still cheap as fuck.

>>5495919
>hardcover
I haven't bought a hardcover since I really needed a latin dictionary more than a decade ago.

Oh my god, this is legit a masterpiece

On some New Sincerity shit this might be the best book I have read all my life

Somebody with LaTeX skills make it publishable holy fuck

>>5495744
We're finally published authors. We did it, anon. We made it.

>>5495912
looks pretty fucking bland m8

>>5495933
>self published

ur mum's bl& m8

honestly i just wanted a version with some new edits in it. fuck the cover.

>>5495912
OK OK sorry for not seing the links, for whatever reason I though you thick fucks actually translated the book into french

which would actually be incredible, regardless who the fuck is getting the money

lulu gets all the money? I don't feel like paying money so you silly goys can spend it on student loans and spin bikes

>>5495946
lulu gets all the money. No jews involved. Promise.

I really want one but this is gonna be a bitch to ship to my shitty part of the globe.

brilliant

can someome tell me what this is about?
Just a memebook produced by our edgy trips?

>>5496812
Nah man, 30 or so anons; no trips

>>5496812
It's a long collection of memes set down in various fonts and sizes.

It's an embarrassment, actually.

>>5496815
why do you liars claim it was written by 2000 people/

>edition publice
>pour cr volum
>sugène nicole
well played anon, well played, your typos will be remembered throughout the time and will enlighten millions of people.

>>5496802

That's what I was thinking yesterday. I believe that's better anyway, as 4chan is inherently prone to do that kind of bright things. A great epitome this book is.

So after actually looking through the book there are some nice pieces of poetry in there. What if one of us compiled a collection of /lit/'s OC poetry to on Lulu? We could also get /p/ to contribute with some photos?

>>5496817
Lulu the only store that sells it?
in Europe and would like to see if there's any cheap option available

>>5496827
why do you want a printed version? its pdf is free

>>5496825
DOES ANYONE WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS OR SHOULD I SHUT THE FUCK UP?

>>5496830
thanks
2 pages in and already laughing like a retard

>>5496827
There are multiple European stores and they print locally

I'm honestly surprised that there are people on /lit/ who don't know about this book

We've had a thread every day for, what, 3-4 weeks?

>>5496830
Link?

In all seriousness who's finished it?

>>5497225
Well I've technically looked at every page

Where my colour at

>>5486288
>Frech cover
>Spine in Spanish
>And then back to English

kek

FUCK, I JUST ORDERED MY VERSION YESTERDAY. IT WAS THE HORRIBLE BLACK COVER. IS IT TOO LATE TO CANCEL MY LULU ORDER?

>>5487260
You can just convert it from the PDF.

>>5497708
French version a shit. It has text running over the fascis. Pig disgusting.

How about we make a book of selected Poetry works. Then at least we will have a half serious release.

>>5497971
if you want to make something set up a site and make a thread but just suggesting in threads is at most going to get a couple of people who agree with you and then click off and go to another thread

>>5486288
The spine's wrong.

It should be "El Legado del Totalitarianismo en una Tundra"

Why doesn't Pynchon's face have a clear outline?

>>5486288
I don't know where you got that first page.
Some corrections:
>Edition publiée sous la direction
>Avec pour ce volume, la collaboration
>sugène => eugène ?
Also why did you put these people's names if your book hasn't been published by them?

how is a book by 4chan not in a free, online document?

>>5500644
The PDF has been posted so many times, I guess it should've been in the OP though

it's only the paperback itself that costs anything

SOMEONE has to have their colour version by now

>>5497708
>implying the fasces cover is horrible

how many have you guys sold already?
and most importantly, where is it going?

>>5501309
if it sold any copies, it's too many

right from the sap's hands into some guy's pockets

>>5501331
>if it sold any copies, it's too many
it did. some people have already posted pictures of their copies

>>5501331
>I never get screwed with anything I buy
>Some anon found a way to get money with the price tag that offers no gain
so many weird ideas

Can we put our work in the second one? How do we do it exactly without having people delete what we submit. I submitted shit for the first but it got deleted by another collaborator.

>>5501361
It's inevitable, if you really care that much save your contributions on a separate file and put them back in by the time everyone's past caring

>>5501309
What would you consider to be low/medium/high sales for this board?

>>5501369
What version is it?

>>5501465
not the lulu one, a later version with unknown edits and cuts

>>5501468
I think we should focus on new content. Not rehashing shit from Tundra.

>the only thing I contributed to this book is the blurb on the back
>and my typo is immortalized forever
Fuck

>>5501426
2/20/50+

>>5501483
80+ for high sales, considering all editions

>>5501488
Honestly? 90-95% of the purchases are from one edition

>>5501472
It's easier when there's already a structure built. It would be easier to repeat the experience if there were some semblance of general goal, I think.

>>5501498
If I see more lizardman shit I'm going to copy past the entire bible into the doc

>>5501498
There's something forming. It's about flash and glitz and glam and excess. It's colorful and poetic and retro. This book will be its own thing. Just needs a bit of tinkering.

Here's something from a few days ago.

Proptip: nobody's snagged the first print of this thread's latest edition

>>5501517
>that dip

>>5501517
77! BUT IT'S A GLOBAL 77!

WE'RE LIVING THE LITERARY LIFESTYLE!

WE DID IT, GUYS. WE DID IT.

>>5501517
wow nice job 77 copies wonder how high its today
might grab a colorized copy myself

>>5501517
I didn't think that many people would buy it. If we break 100 will it officially be a cult novel?

>>5501542
Honestly we could really sell a lot more than this if we just got a little publicity

books a lot worse than ours sell a lot more

>>5501546
>>books a lot worse than ours
I seriously doubt that

>>5501547
look at the rest of lulu's bestseller lineup you boob

the book hasn't even arrived yet and i'm already experiencing major buyer's regret. i would just watch people contribute to it, i didn't even add anything

>>5501558
add to the sequel you silly billy

>>5501558
>>5501568
I think we need to wait at the very least a month or two until things calm down and do a new project. I don't see the point in trying to get in the shadow of Tundra.

>>5501575
It's up to Joseph Stallion. Where he goes, I go.

>>5501558
>buying (as in spending real currency for) 300 pages of shitposting that's available online for free

>>5501591
it has a real perty cover

>>5496832
/p/ has shit photos so no

>>5501596
Definitely has some shelf presence.

>>5501591
500 pages m8

>>5501652
Oh la la.

>Now even MORE shitposting!
>66% pages MORE of the exact same crap you sage and hide!

Oh boy!

>>5501517
I'm actually thinking about buying, but I'm holding out for a good edition

>>5501706
What exactly is a 'good' edition? There's no more text coming out.

Paperback, hardcover, colour; what more do you want?

>>5496832
Bring it up in poetry threads after a few hundred posts and they'll tell you if they want to or not.
Try to do new things, don't get too tied to this one thing people did.

Why would I need this in colour?

>>5501823
Some text has colour but I don't think it makes much of a difference

>>5501517
there are 70 people on this board?

This quote on this cover.

Anybody else thinking how this has a bad format?
For instance, I'm reading the PDF and at the end of page 41 there's this gray block of text and I assume has been censored, I think it should, all of it, stay on page 41 and not continue half of it on page 42.
For more clarity, see this image.

Well, I did it. $15 for a meme book written by anonymous retards on an anime site. Buyer's regret was instantaneous.

At least I got 15% off. Coupon code is VEGGIE15 and it expires today.

>>5506033
I had the same "buyer's regret". Just praise it everywhere and you'll feel better about yourself.

>>5508210
Honestly I'd rather a black and white with either cover

>>5504084

Gotta read that Cement Garden, m8.

It's right up your alley.

also Antigone

>>5508221
What are the major differences? I figured the color version would be better for the greentext actually being green.

I mean, hell, I have the full-color House of Leaves. May as well get another meme book in color.

>Tao Lin cried “My soul is a pathway of dead occasions ending at the growth point of a living actuality, which in turn will soon die.”
Bravo anon.
Also kek'd at "sum-yung-guy smoothie." Am I a mong for finding this book funny?

>>5508250
The b&w version is a higher-quality book in terms of its construction

the colour one is value-quality, compared to standard

>>5508297
Value-quality meaning inferior binding, or mass-market quality, or what?

Actually, the b/w one seems cheaper in price, so I may as well get that one anyway

>>5508330
The binding looks to be the same, but honestly I've only got a standard-line so I've got nothing to compare to.

>>5508343
Well I'll just go with the b/w then. It may be more worthwhile to just flush a twenty dollar bill down the toilet, but whatever
