Surfin' the Highway hardcovers are here!
Posted by Jake June 10, 2008
Update June 13: The hardcovers are now shipping! If you preordered, watch your email for a shipping notification.



Freakin finally! The hardcover edition of Surfin the Highway has finally started arriving in the office (and should be shipping out to you extremely soon!). The printer ended up printing two extra books (bringing the total to 2,502), and one of those two extra rare unnumbered babies spent the day floating around the office.

More pictures after the jump...











We still have copies, so, um, don't forget to buy one right now!

Bonus details: All the lettering, stars, and lines on the cover are stamped foil, and look really cool. The pages of the book are printed on super thick high quality paper (100 pound stock -- it looks and feels great). There's an awesome bookmark built in, so you can mark your favorite joke. And, they're of course all hand numbered and signed by Steve!

Wooohooo!!! Finally. Can´t wait to get it.
I´ve been looking forward to this day for months.
I´ll hope that shipping doesn´t take to long
And again: WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Comment by StewG June 11, 2008, 10:42 am
I really hope that brown page-protection thing with the print on it isn't kraft paper. Hopefully it's a really nice paper, because using such low-quality product would totally ruin my day.

Looking sharp otherwise :D

Whoo! On my birthday no less! :D

Heck yes! =3
Comment by dg10050 June 11, 2008, 5:34 pm
I've been waiting on my pre-order forever. ...and it's been holding up the rest of my entire order (hat & shirt). =(
Comment by BloodShed June 11, 2008, 5:54 pm
No kraft paper was used in the making of this book.
Comment by Emily June 11, 2008, 9:24 pm
It's hard to make out in the photo but I think I can see a Max wallpaper design on the inside cover. Very classy.
Comment by xChri5x June 11, 2008, 9:31 pm
Finally!!! I have been waiting and waiting...I was ready to jump into the DeSoto and come out there to find out what was going on..
Comment by CameronH1403 June 12, 2008, 9:48 am
whew! good to know, just it had that colour to it... looking good then!
Comment by Edgy_McSpoon June 12, 2008, 2:34 pm
Does anyone use kraft paper in binding ever? I've never heard of that.
Comment by tabacco June 12, 2008, 4:29 pm
Woohoooooo!! :P Finally, this baby's here :D YES!!

Now let's hope it's well protected and the freaking postman doesn't play football with the package (or parcel, or whatever you want to call it) ¬ ¬;
Comment by zebulon June 12, 2008, 4:51 pm
that's true. maybe some additional protection would be nice, since it is probably quite heavy. also, i am a bit afraid of the customs guys and their big knifes..but 2 inch steel plating should do.

Holy crap, this has made my night
Comment by purple_monkfish June 13, 2008, 2:53 pm
Thank you, Telltale! I've had this on order since February, alongside the paperback edition and The Effigy Mound. I can't wait to get this in the mail. I guess now I'll have to go buy some more stuff.
Comment by mhaley June 13, 2008, 4:06 pm
I simply can't wait. The book looks like something out of my sweetest dreams, and look forward to reading the comics for the first time. :)
Comment by dloeke June 14, 2008, 2:04 pm
I 'm number 451. : )
Comment by ShiningHero June 16, 2008, 6:32 pm
I believe I will hop around in anticipation until my copy gets here...or at least until my legs give out from under me, sending me spiraling down the stairs in a swirling tornado of pain and abject suffering...
Comment by mrjuju June 17, 2008, 11:55 am
My copy came it yesterday! Thank you so much!
Comment by Garwik June 18, 2008, 1:56 am
mines came yesterday and it's 424
Comment by doom saber June 19, 2008, 5:01 pm
Ahhhh. Satisfied my cravings for fine drawing and random violence. Or was that random drawing and fine violence?
Comment by Norwood June 20, 2008, 8:29 pm
Quick Delivery and Excellent Product! What's this? Signed edition, number 646? A+++ Seller...

Oops, wrong website comment box!

Thank you so much for this beautiful book Steve and Telltale! I can still smell the sharpie marker in the front of the book. *giddy*
Comment by Edgy_McSpoon June 24, 2008, 5:08 pm
I got my book in yesterday!!!!!!!! I didn´t get to say it until today because I was to busy admiring it.

I also got The Effigy Mound, and to those of you who didn´t get it, you should probably just go kill yourself. (I´t was a joke. Please don´t do it)
I also got a hat and a poster, so now I´m just waiting for the season two disc to be released.

But I have to sleep now so that I can admire the stuff some more!!! ;D
Comment by StewG June 25, 2008, 6:44 pm
I finally got mine yesterday, number 681!
Thank you SOO much Mr. Purcell and Telltale for republishing this book, of which the original has never appeared on eBay in Australia.
Hopefully we can see the Season 2 Soundtrack being released as well!
Comment by dringo_star June 25, 2008, 7:28 pm
By the way, I was nuber 1025.
Comment by StewG June 26, 2008, 11:21 am
Yay, got my hardcover yesterday over here in the UK. Mine was number 688!
Comment by DarkEyedBeast June 26, 2008, 12:54 pm
Yeah, the book just made my day. Number 101
Comment by Darth Timo June 30, 2008, 4:21 am
I'm buying four,one to obsessively pore over,two to put away and one to smack people who dont like Sam & Max upside the head with! the nice hard cover leaves a reasonable good impression on their underdeveloped minds!
Comment by Sam-n-max freelance police June 30, 2008, 6:02 pm
Hi guys. Number 1166 here. Cannot beleive the quality of this book. Everything smacks of awesomeness. Totally worth the extra expense not to mention the wait. Idiotically I ordered the cartoon DVD and season 1 bonus disc at the same time back in March.

Thanks Steve and Telltale!
Comment by Repsode July 1, 2008, 5:14 am
THIS BOOK IS SO FREAKIN COOL IT MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE AN AXE HANDLE TO MY NEIGBORS WIFE FOR SAYING THAT SAM AND MAX WERE NOTHING BUT STUPID CARTOON CHARACTERS WHO INSPIRE VIOLENCE IN THE PEOPLE WHO READ THESE COMICS.
WHAT A DUMB *ITCH ....BOY AM I GONNA PUMMEL HER GOOD!
Comment by PROFESSOR HAMMERSKULL July 3, 2008, 2:41 am
I just ordered this book! now I all I have to do is learn to read and I'm set!
Comment by The violent sloth July 3, 2008, 2:44 am
GREAT BOOK GUYS!
IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE BOOK,I'D TOSS OUT THE BIBLE AND KEEP SAM N MAX!
Comment by Rev William P. Tallywacker July 3, 2008, 2:47 am
#109 here, over in the UK.
Fantastic Book! Thanks a million Steve and Telltale for republishing. The quality of the book is absolutely amazing.

(I was worrying about where it had got to after almost a month since it had been mailed out - turns out the customs guys/royal mail had it and were demanding £12 in "customs fees" to release it! Worth it though...)
