@workingclassicists.bsky.social I ordered via Contunernales for the book and mug bundle. The book has just arrived today (via Amazon!) just wondering if you had any idea when to expect the mug. I kinda of thought they’d come together!

workingclassicists.bsky.social•33 days ago

Hello! The mugs will be a little later as they’re made in the US (assuming you’re not in the US) and will be shipping independently before launch day (5th Feb). Do let us know if it’s late though!

sallyc.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you!

simontrafford.bsky.social•57 days ago

Congratulations! Looks fantastic. 🎉🎉

dmoan71.bsky.social•57 days ago

Preordered - looks amazing!

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

We really hope you like it!

lizgloyn.bsky.social•57 days ago

Superb - congratulations!

Do you have a full list of authors anywhere?

lizgloyn.bsky.social•57 days ago

...and also, for pre-orders, do you think this will be on the systems for independent book shops? *Has a tiny plot*

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

For your first question, yes: https://www.workingclassicists.com/a-periodic-table-of-greek-mythology at the bottom of this page

and for the second question - we are working on it! We hope so but we have a busy period ahead of us to try and make that happen!

lizgloyn.bsky.social•57 days ago

Ah, super - lovely to see some familiar names as well as lots of new ones there!

I will try and keep an eye out for news that this is available to independents - this would be an excellent present for #puer and if I order it via our little local independent bookshop, it'll be on their radar.

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

Will try and keep you updated :) thanks for your support 💙

This looks amazing, pre-ordering now!!

Representation is key in all that we do, this book is no exception. Take a look at some of the stats behind this project:

Just checking - am based in UK but if I buy from Contubernales does it mean it's shipped from US? Prices only in dollars... Will wait until available from a UK seller other than the big river site if that's going to be an option?

medusasheid.bsky.social•55 days ago

I just ordered my copy - the shipping is only $6.50 to the UK which is about a fiver so pretty reasonable I thought!

workingclassicists.bsky.social•55 days ago

Contubernales have been really good about this, we told them that a great deal of our supporters and writers are based in the UK and Europe so they made sure to keep shipping low. Good folk.

medusasheid.bsky.social•55 days ago

I was preparing myself for it being like $20+ based on what it normally costs to send stuff from the US so imagine my very pleasant surprise!

workingclassicists.bsky.social•55 days ago

Hi Emma, yes you can order from Contubernales no problem, they’ve worked with us to keep shipping to the UK as low as possible so that’s one option. We’re not sure where else it might be available, currently no concrete plans, but we are trying!

emmabridges.bsky.social•55 days ago

Lovely - thanks for the info! And good luck with getting the word out. Would it be useful if those of us on here put a shout out to see if any of our followers are in the bookselling trade? Am wracking my brains re contacts but not coming up with anything atm...

workingclassicists.bsky.social•55 days ago

Oh absolutely, we’re very much open to it. Working on a few locally so fingers crossed for us!

dmyoungblood.bsky.social•57 days ago

AWESOME!!

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

🥳

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

We're so proud of this book and so grateful to our 117 contributors who have written beautiful, engaging, and easy-to-read introductions to all your favourite ancient Greek heroes (and villains).

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

Please note that the book will have a black and white image of the poster, but that you can download the colour version for free from the website

workingclassicists.bsky.social•56 days ago

You can now buy the poster designed as a companion for the book! https://contubernalesbooks.com/a-periodic-table-of-greek-mythology-poster-1824

velf.bsky.social•57 days ago

Congratulations! 🎉🎉 Well done for all of your hard work on this! It looks ✨️AMAZING✨️! I'm so incredibly proud & flattered to have been able to contribute - especially amongst such eminent company!! Bravo everyone!

archaeobes.bsky.social•57 days ago

Is there a way we can order just the poster, like for a classroom? Or is it folded up and included in the book?

workingclassicists.bsky.social•56 days ago

Hello! Weve set the posters live now too! https://contubernalesbooks.com/a-periodic-table-of-greek-mythology-poster-1824

workingclassicists.bsky.social•57 days ago

We are working on this, you should be able to purchase it as a glossy poster from Contubernales soon, so do keep an eye out. We'll post about it when its available. In the meantime you can download a high-quality copy here and use however you like: https://contubernalesbooks.com/periodic-table
