ed. - nothing new, we're just bumping it back to the top of the page because ~~we're vain~~ we're all proud and stuff.

A few days ago SugarBowl93 posted a fanshot asking if there was an update on the status of the "RBR Book." I'm happy to report that there is an update. The book will be available in July (exact date should be announced very soon), but we're going to go ahead and show you the cover! The book will be available via a variety of outlets, both online and in stores and we will give you a full list once we have it.

looks good.

Is this going to be a proper hardcover, or more like a floppy gameday mag?

What’s the price point going to be?

"Perfectbound"

I believe perfectbound is the term used to describe it…meaning that it’s softcover, but it’s bound (no staples like cheap magazines.) It’s about magazine sized, but the paper is of higher quality and the cover/back cover is thicker like that of a quality paperback.

It’s 112 pages, no advertising, full color, 8.5×11 format.

Price is $12.99

Only 13 bucks

Hell, I’d pay $13 to watch a monkey play with a football at the zoo. Consider it sold.

I think we’re going to have to print up some t-shirts or buttons or something with that on there.

You might want to consider...

...the PCness of that, you know what I’m sayin’?

D'oh!

How about, “Hell, I’d pay $13 to watch a giraffe play with a football at the zoo?”

D'oh!

It’s so obvious, “Hell, I’d pay $13 to watch an ELEPHANT play with a football at the zoo.”

Dadaist

I kind of like the absurd notion of a giraffe though. It has kind of a Marcel Duchamp/dadaism feel about it.

PCness

Which is why i added “At the Zoo”. I didn’t want there to be any racial connotations to that.
Still I think it works best with something that actually plays with balls. Perhaps an Otter…

thirteen bucks!!

And no ads? And 112 pages?!

That’s a dang bargain. I’m in. Absolutely can’t wait to buy it. Promise me you’ll have some fun historical articles we haven’t seen before. That’s the only thing that we don’t get enough of (I’m thinking OTS’s “secret history of Alabama” articles).

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.

by gorjus on Jun 27, 2008 2:10 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Yes...

...there are historical articles and some “feature story” type things as well as some humorous pieces.

by Nico2.0 on Jun 27, 2008 2:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah man I will buy three

one for me and two for my brothers in Tampa.

Will this be a yearly publication? Looks like it. That would not only be really sweet, but a nice way to distance yourself from competitors and be unique.

Very radical

I’m so very down with this new publication. Here’s hoping I become a yearly addict to your highly-anticipated endeavor. Congrats again, best wishes for it’s financial success. (even though I’m sure it was 99.9% PURE PASSION that compelled you guys to produce this)

Way to go boys. Roll Tide!

I can't speak for anyone else...

....but I was solely in for the money.

Ditto

I contributed strictly for the cash.

By the way, Todd, where’s my check?

Crisis averted...

I just had the most awful thought: What if Jimmy Johns was one of the players front and center on the cover? I literally ran from one side of the building to the other to check and make sure he wasn’t. That would have been embarassing.

I just noticed

that he is one of the players on my desktop pic. Gonna have to change that one!
