ADC 2012 Award for Current State: Snowboarding! The german Art Directors Club awarded the book as one of the most outstanding print pieces of the year. Very stoked about that. The book is now entitled to be entered in the european ADC competition later this year.
Ed Blomfield of Whitelines Magazine in the UK just posted an interview that appeared in their last print issue a few weeks ago. Thx a lot!
Mike Giles over at Coolhunting.com wrote a great review of the book. Thanks a lot! It features a small interview as well. Check it out here if you like: http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/current-state-snowboarding.php
Lots of great reviews coming in. The most detailed one yet is over at Illicitsnowboarding.com. Check it out if you would like to see a few more details of the book. They picked some great spreads and interview bits to highlight. Thanks for the kind words, too.

Colyn White over at ESPN did a great write-up on the book! Thanks a lot for the kind words. I especially like the very optimistic outlook on our sales 
“…get it now for 89 Euros or wait a week and get one for $500 on eBay… Your call.”
The article also features a pretty detailed interview about the process and ambition behind the book. Check it out.
Issue Resolved! All buyers from Switzerland are good to go now. Sorry about the inconvenience!
In case you’re ordering from Switzerland you might experience troubles finalizing your order. We just realized there’s a bug in the system so in case it doesn’t work (some people from Switzerland cannot get past the “confirm address”-step), just drop us an e-mail to the support and we’ll let you know when the issue is resolved. Should be monday at the latest,
Thx for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience,
David
It seems that for some of you the webshop won’t let you go past the “confirm address” section. We’re not sure why this only happens to a small fraction of people who try to order but we’re working on resolving the issue. Our guess so far is that it’s simply due to overly high traffic as there’s a pretty incredible amount of orders coming in since last night. At this rate we’ll be out of book in about 3 days
But no worries, if you’d like a book and you have issues with the shop, just drop an e-mail to the support address (in case you haven’t already to complain) and we’ll make sure to hold copies for you.
Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience this causes some of you.
We’ll let you know asap we have a solution, in the meantime, please keep on trying – maybe on a different computer or by emptying the cache of your browser before visiting the site. The majority of people are able to order so it’s a strange bug…
Best!
David
Finally.
Finally! 2,5 years later the book is finally out and ready to ship. Thanks everyone for your patience, especially all of you who pre-ordered ages ago and have been waiting ever since.
We just got done with the release show in Munich and we’ll continue posting some more stuff here in the coming weeks.
I hope when you see the book it’s a little understandable that it took me a few months (or years longer and that it’s also not a very cheap item to acquire. 89 EURO per copy wasn’t what i set out for either but with the book growing and growing to its final size, the cost exploded up a bit, too. But since you’re really getting two books in one, i hope that’s somewhat acceptable.
All the best and thx again.
