Rosmei orders and novel impressions

[headstone]

Some interest was expressed in a writeup of the Rosmei titles I've acquired over the last year, so I wrote up some of my impressions of their books, as well as my experience ordering from each of the two main North American distributors. On my personal site: https://durandal.blog/blog/rosmei/

I don't have comments set up on my blog so feel free to ask questions or discuss under this post. Feel free to suggest any relevant tags, as well.

I haven't ordered any Rosmei books via Yiggybean yet (I'm impatiently waiting for the preorders for Ning Yuan's booka to open), but it defintely sounds like they might have more recourse than GOs over customs snafus.

I'm pretty sure blurbs on the dust jacket flaps or back cover, depending if it's a hardback or paperback, are fairly standard in western English language publishing, not just NA (like the UK published books I have usually include them)?

Yeah that's been my limited experience with European books too but I didn't want to assume cause that's definitely not my main, uh, sphere? but yeah, books I've encountered from the UK, France, and Spain have had back blurbs. I've figured it's a feature of publishing traditions based in European tradition but I'm not familiar enough with publishing in a lot of areas of Europe to want to make any blanket statements in that regard, whereas at least for the US and Canada I could say it with confidence that I was right.
