Here's an early Doppelganger concept. More updates coming soon.



Answers to FAQ's


$110 is the pre-order cost of the Standard Edition. The book will contain two volumes (Core Years and Crystal Years). These two volumes will be in a slipcase and are considered to be one book.
The $55 deposit can be applied to either the Standard Edition or the Exclusive Edition.

Exclusive Edition particulars are still being determined. Cost and Details are not yet available.
If you'd like the Exclusive Edition, let us know and we will put you on that list. You can always downgrade with no penalty. Please anticipate a cost of $400-$800 for the Exclusive Edition.


The $55 deposit will apply for either edition.


You should receive notice from PayPal that your $55 has been received. If you have received notice, you are guaranteed a Standard Edition. We will close pre-orders once the number reaches 2000 orders. Then we will begin a waiting list.

Shipping will be between $30 and $70 depending on your location.



Final payment will be requested once we have a shipping date from our printer. We anticipate an October/November 2009 delivery. Subject to change.

Sweet! I was so excited I clicked the wrong button and deleted once, sorry.

Also I think I screwed up! How do we let you know if we're interested in the exclusive edition? I already sent my deposit..

Brandon said...

You can email Steffan at steffan@dreamsandvisionspress.com with any questions. He should take care of you. What will the Exclusive Edition have?! Signed with a pencil sketch (original Tomb Raider art?) as mentioned on the blog? And what will the price difference be? It sounds all exclusivey!! :)

Also, is there any way to know that the pre-order has been taken? Any confirmations etc.?

As for me I am *VERY* interested in "Exclusive" edition. I hope, it will be published as well... someday. But if it is to be released I'm the first in the line. :)

Yeeha! Who's excited?! I can't wait to see some larger images with page layouts... like the ones that were shown for the Ralph McQuarrie book as it got closer to publication. This is going to be a truly awesome set in 2 volumes! I can only imagine how much amazing material will be in these volumes, with all the years and games they'll be covering! October feels SO far away!!!

I'm sorta sad that I can't go for the exclusive one, I'd be in trouble for years over that. ;) But like I said, as long as I get one, I'll be geeked. I'm *definitely* excited about it, it's going to be awesome, I had a giggle fit when I saw this post and paid right then without even reading the whole thing. LOL It just can't get here fast enough! :D

Steffan Schulz said...

I feel your impatience! I've been working on this for almost 3 years. I want to hold the finished product in my hands!

It looks like we are leaning toward 26 Numbered Editions for the Exclusive. More info soon.

Brandon said...

Man, that's crazy about the limited editions. Talk about limited! The estimated dough is a lot of cash! But I'm sure it will be worth it to those uber-fans who can afford it, and want to actually OWN an original piece of Tomb Raider art, if that's what you can end up working out!
