Wojo 2,453 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I also bought the book in the fall of 2010 when it was $30 on Amazon, but I have not read more than a page of it nor listened to the Rarities archive. That disc also came in a grey sleeve, which I quickly removed and placed in a nondescript jewel case. Which I promptly lost and rediscovered not too long ago to rip, but I haven't tagged or listened to it yet. Surprise surprise.If you view the listing now on Amazon, it shows the book cover and the album cover that Steef showed, but only as 2D straight on images, not as 3D photos showing the CD case with the book.I did toss my grey envelope into the fire, hoping that it would be upgraded to a white one, but no dice.

alicebrallice 134 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 ok, me and stefan were just having a laugh. I got the CD in a grey envelope like everyone else, so the case did NOT come with the book. I made them one day when I was really bored and I sent one to stefan because he wanted one. I can see the joke escalated a bit now that doug is concerned and has sent out some emails, apparently. haha... sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 A Conspiracy UnmaskedYes guys it was a joke.

Jay 37,364 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Making a custom sleeve for a free CD is 100% completely fine and acceptable, but pretending it is a real thing AND then on top of that posting that we should all EMAIL DOUG about it is horrible and a remarkably idiotic thing to do. I'm sure Doug is very protective of his work as he should be and the fact that you made him think there were people selling bootleg copies of his book is just an AWFUL thing to do to someone. What were you two THINKING!? The fact that he was the victim of a prank instigated by two JWFanners makes me sick!Doug recently joined our forum and made some extremely awesome posts which is great, but after this incident I'm sure he'll never return and I wouldn't blame him at all.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Jason.I apologised to Doug on his blog. He accepted itThats it as far as Mr. Adams is concerned.It was a prank, thats it. Dont turn it into something awful. Its not like we killed a baby, by beating it to dead with a puppy...for fun.Ill apologise to everyone else once again, but not to you.Your reaction is way out of line!

alicebrallice 134 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 the fact that you made him think there were people selling bootleg copies of his book is just an AWFUL thing to do to someone. obviously, that was never my intention and I'm extremely surprised that no one suspected it was fan made. and the moment I saw that he didn't "get" the joke/saw how fan made my case really looks I wrote here and said that it was all a joke and stefan posted on his blog. The fact that he was the victim of a prank instigated by two JWFanners makes me sick!wtf? do you hear yourself?I've already apologized and I'll send him an email too.
