Pineapple Books? Limited edition

[Tnewton_1988]

I ordered a book back in August of a limited edition book costing £65 of Forest's History,Their is a large book and a small one with rare pictures in it and its done by a Company called Pineapple books.Just wondering if anyone has recieved theirs yet? They sent me an e-mail saying they recived the Cheque but i have not got anything in return.

Pineapple are really good. I have bought several of their special editions in the past.

They are based at Burton Joyce. The ones that are local he normally delivers by hand so don't worry!

I've ordered the same two-book package; they asked for a £20 deposit for the "limited edition" (each one numbered and signed by a former Forest player) and then another £45 balance (which they emailed and I've just sent, but God knows when they'll get it, mail strikes and all).

I've heard good things about them though; hopefully I'll receive mine in the next week or so!

i've heard they had a dodgy printer so don't hold your breath!

Whilst I'm not certain I think my dads company sells them all their paper, card etc... When I see him next I'll se if he's heard anything regarding that and if so how long until they're back up and running fully.

My dad was chatting to Rob Jovanovic who owns pineapple books a couple of days ago and Rob told him that he will have his books (one for me ) on wednesday.

I too have only had good dealings with Pineapple Books in the past

Were these different books to the 2014 ones? Did they actually get delivered?

That's a cracker! ( In Frank Carson voice...)

It's been a while since this has been brought up

I think (and the word ‘think’ is working hard in this sentence) I’ve had everything that’s been issued so far for the 150 Club or whatever it was called. I have volumes 1 to 4 of the Almanac itself, the album of Forest cigarette cards, the Painting The Town Red booklet and map, the Forest Periodic table thing, the diagram of the two European Cup-winning goals with commentary excerpts on and the copy of whichever early document it was to do with our original foundation.

Often it’s taken a polite but assertive email to prompt the appearance of a particular item but as far as I know that’s everything there’s been so far (please let me know if anyone’s received or heard of anything else!). My most recent contact with Rob was a month ago, when vol. 5 was almost ready and he said he’d let me know the date when he had confirmation from the printer.

I appreciate I am very fortunate to have got what I have as a number of people here don’t seem to have had much or indeed anything, but I thought it might help to offer a reasonably up to date, er, update so that at least any 150 Club subscribers have an idea of what they might need to chase.

So is it this with a few extra bits? I notice that the pinapplebooks.co.uk website linked in the Forest notice now points to a blank page.

Yes, as you can tell from the fact it was meant to tie in with our sesquicentenary in 2015 it has been somewhat delayed. As time went by and people reasonably enough wondered what was going on, the project expanded to comprise more volumes and one or two more bits and bobs came out.

Sesquicentenary! That's a word you don't come across every day. It's been quite a week for lesser used words on the site.

I didn’t know the word until I was writing things at the time and have taken any opportunity to use it ever since!

I'm waiting for @Project Zeus to confirm it's legit

Try and explain it to a Kuwaiti.
