VALIANT CANADA LENDING LIBRARY- SIGN UP NOW :')

[hawkeyeps]

Hey fellow Canadians,

When I saw Bruce and Elery doing this I just had to make sure the Great White North wasn't left out, I'm doing the same thing for us

Here is Elery's post explaining the deal, I've edited it up to Canadianize it.

CANADIAN VALIANT TPB LENDING LIBRARY IS FINALLY HERE

THE IDEA:

Bruce and I have been kicking around the idea of increasing the Amazon reviews of the Valiant TPB's in a continuing effort to help VEI grow this side of their business. We've come up with a plan that we hope finds favor with our fellow board members and helps increase the reviews.

This lead to the creation of the "Valiant Trade Paperback - Lending Library" It offers VF members who might not subscribe to all the VEI titles, or who might not have all the issues to give an honest review of the trades.

We have purchased a group of VEI Trade Paperbacks to ship out to any VF board members to read all 8 TPB's and then go to Amazon.com and write some honest reviews of each trade. More or less a week time period is given to read all the trades and when finished, pay to ship them to the next lender/borrower who wants to do this.

------------------

THE PROCESS:

I will be in touch with each individual who gets the VEI Library to inform the lender the next person's address to ship to. This project is all on the honor system and this is all we need to make this library system work. The only costs each lender will incur during this project is the shipping costs forward to the next reader which is approximately whatever Canada post is for cheap

All 10 (I have augmented our set with XO V3 and A&A V2, the A&A is on order at my shop should be here soon) trades include 45 issues altogether, its adds up to about whatever cents per issue to ship the library forward and much less than the retail cost of a single VEI trade paperback. We want to give members to experience all the VEI relaunch titles they might not have bought and more importantly paying it forward to VEI for giving our Valiant Universe back, Eh?

Dinesh himself has mentioned that these Amazon.ca (well he didn't really say that but you get the idea ) reviews are EXTREMELY helpful to this aspect of their business and VEI truly appreciates the time and effort it takes to post these reviews.

If anyone is interested to be a part of this library project, please me a private message and I can schedule to send these books out to you!

------------------

THE REQUIREMENTS:

1a. VF members within the United States
1b. VF members within Canada (contact Hawkeyeps to for the Canadian Lending Library, we will post a link to that topic when its formally set up.) This is it!
2. Over 50+ posts here on the boards
3. Valid Amazon.ca account
4. Read through all 10 TPB's
5. Write reviews on each TPB's
6. Ship the TPB' to the next lender/borrower

There should also be a teaser thread coming soon for the possiblity of yet ANOTHER lending library so the momentum is growing for this project. Let's all do what we can to make this a resounding success which on VALIANTfans.com members can do!!!!!

------------------

THE COST:

All it costs for those who want to participate in this offer is to send the books to the next lender/borrower. Which is estimated about Canada post whatever Therefore with 10 Trade Paperbacks that contains 45 issues total, that's an average of whatever cents per issue.

------------------

THE MOTIVATION:

One of the motivations we've stumbled upon for creating this offer was by encouraging members to write the reviews for the trades in the recent months. In the group of messages we have sent, an unidentified VF member responded that he/she would gladly do the reviews but he/she can’t. When we read that response, we assumed that the member could not do the reviews because he/she did not have an Amazon.com account, but that wasn't the situation.

We found out later that he/she could not do the reviews simply because he/she has not read them! Also, the reason for not having read them was he/she could simply not afford the books! Bruce and I were stunned and taken back because the anonymous member had been VF member for several years with a great number of posts.

So we both have come up with a little hope to some who want to read the books with a system to follow. With the lending library offer, it’s a win / win situation to read the 8 trades and all it costs is to ship the books to the next reader.

THE SUPPORT:

Just before we send off the VEI Lending Library, one more thing was added.... Dinesh Shamdasani and Atom! Freeman had given this project their 100% support and wrote a short little message of the inside front cover of X-O Manowar Vol #1 for those who will be reading these books.

This were done at the Q&W Release Party at Collector's Paradise on July 13th 2013.

Our XO wasn't signed but they did drag a razor knife across the front cover no worries I replaced it

SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED - SEND ME, HawK A MESSAGE TO SIGN UP

That's it in a nutshell, while I await another Canadian to sign up for the set I'm going to try to pimp them out at the shops here in Calgary, if you want to do the same for your town I'll send you the set. Remember first shipping is on me for ten TPBs.

I hope we Canadians can get behind this and show our support for Valiant
