I just got this email (and already ordered)

There are 200 Deluxe copies of this book signed by King (with others)


Celebrating two decades of THE BEST NEW HORROR, which collects 20 of the finest tales from Steve Jones's seminal series. This is the only hardcover and only limited edition of this title, and the definitive edition in the eyes of the editor. Authors include:

Stephen JONES
Briam LUMLEY
Michael Marshall SMITH
Ramsey CAMPBELL
Christopher FOWLER
Harlan ELLISON
Paul MCAULEY
Neil GAIMAN
Terry LAMSLEY
Caitlin KIERNAN
Peter STRAUB
Tim LEBBON
Kim NEWMAN
Elizabeth HAND
Joe HILL
Mark SAMUELS
Lisa TUTTLE
Clive BARKER
Glen HIRSHBERG
Simon Kurt UNSWORTH
Stephen KING

This will be a massive, heavy, oversized 7x10 inch book constructed with high quality materials, available in two states:

LIMITED EDITION: 300 numbered copies, clothbound, and signed by Stephen Jones, $60

DELUXE EDITION: 200 numbered copies, leatherbound, slipcased, and signed by ALL twenty-two contributors (the editor, the artist, and all 20 authors), $250

I have been working with Steve on this book for a few years, and have been impatiently waiting to announce this title. This is a cornerstone book for any lover of horror fiction, and a small, collectible print run, with no reprinting -- once they're gone, they're gone. Currently at the printer. The LIMITED will be published within the next few months; the DELUXE will be published several weeks later, given that there are 2-3 more author signatures left to be obtained.

Additional info, including story titles, is on my site (link at bottom of this page).

Use the ordering links on my site, or email me at earthlingpub@yahoo.com to reserve a copy (please state whether you want a limited, or deluxe, or both). Like always, no payment needed now to reserve your copy.

I know, I emailed reserving both and have to sit and wonder if we will be getting both, either or none.

Yeah, I was thinking the same with the confirmation. Did I get it or not? Nothing worse than wondering if you just purchased something or not.

Dolan
04-20-2010, 06:44 PM
I didn't get a confirmation either, however I was automatically added to their email list as I have gotten 2 emails from them already.

Also - considering none of us have gotten confirmation emails, it's safe to say that they haven't sent them out yet. Perhaps they are compiling an excel spreadsheet and will email us all out (via mail merge) when they are done...

Only a guess of course.

Room 217 Caretaker
04-21-2010, 03:46 AM
I agree with Dolan.....they are gathering contact info and making sure orders didn't over sell. I'm sure we will all here from Paul or one of his project managers soon.

I'm sure this production is going to be a nice one. I've seen some of Paul's Halloween series. Nice stuff.

carlosdetweiller
04-26-2010, 08:37 AM
I don't think we will necessarily get a confirmatory e-mail. I recall ordering a Clive Barker lettered book a few years ago from Earthling. I didn't hear anything for a few days and finally sent another e-mail to make sure my order was taken. I heard back from him on that one and he said my order was in. I don't know what their policy is now but I would say that no news is good news.

Room 217 Caretaker
04-26-2010, 09:27 AM
Agreed. I did send Paul a separate Email inviting him here to discuss this exciting release and to answer some questions. I haven't heard from that Email either.

I would be very surprised to find out we aren't in. Probably some of the first on his list.

Room 217 Caretaker
05-01-2010, 03:19 AM
I'm sure everyone here received the same Email from Paul but just in case:

Just a quick note to say thanks for all the orders and apologies for not having the opportunity to email confirmations to each and every person who ordered. I will do so within the next week. There are still likely to be copies of both states left at this time, although I'm guessing far fewer of the deluxe state.

It sounds like we all made the list.

Just to let you all know that I also got that email and I did NOT order the book, so I guess it's just a newsletter (I'm on the newsletter list) and not the e-mail confirmation.

Speaking of Earthling, though it's a little off the Stephen King topic: For those who do not receive Paul's email bulletins, I received the following today that some of you may be interested in:

HUGE SALE! Select titles over 50%-75% off!

Now til 11:59pm Boston time Sunday Nov 14 -- four days only.

Please email me at earthlingpub@yahoo.com with a list of the books you want, whether you're in the US or not, and I'll email a total with postage.

Please do not send numerous follow-up emails if you don't hear back from me immediately -- I'll need time to process orders and determine availability of copies (for some titles, not many copies remain).

APOCALYPSE NOW, VOYAGER, $5 (retail $15)
EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS, $10 (retail $30)
RIVERSIDE BLUES, $5 (retail $15)
THE HAUNTED FOREST TOUR, $10 (retail $45)
WORLD OF HURT, $10 (retail $40)
KING RAT, $20 (retail $85)
MIDNIGHT ON MOURN STREET, $5 (retail $16)
MOONTOWN, $10 (retail $40)
OCTOBER DARK, $15 (retail $50)
AMERICAN MORONS, $10 (retail $24)
THE SNOWMAN'S CHILDREN, $20 (retail $85)

I was especially pleased as I have been nearly ready to place an order for Mieville's King Rat for a couple of weeks in anticipation of matching my limited set of The City & The City, Kraken, and the forthcoming Perdido Street Station. Needless to say, I was more than thrilled to get it for nearly 75% off. At least I hope I do at any rate. I have yet to hear back from him regarding a confirmation. He did mention it might take some time to get everything caught up.

Anyway, I thought a few of you may be interested in this sale also.

Thanks for the update, John. I had to search my email to figure out whether I had even made the list for this book. Apparently I have one of each on order.


LIMITED EDITION: 300 numbered copies, clothbound, and signed by Stephen Jones, $60

DELUXE EDITION: 200 numbered copies, leatherbound, slipcased, and signed by ALL twenty-two contributors (the editor, the artist, and all 20 authors), $250

Two questions for the group:

1. Did we pay for these yet?

2. For those of us with both editions on order, will they ship us the Limited now and then ship us the Deluxe later? Or will they wait to ship us everything at one time "in a few months."

That is correct.

I'm not that worried. Earthling seems a bit sketchy to me anyway. I ordered a lettered edition of Barker's THE HELLBOUND HEART, 20th Anniversary edition about 5 years ago. I have no idea if it was ever published or not. I don't think it was. Some presses get the job done. Others don't.

Yes, that is true and it is to their credit that they don't. I guess I just expect people to do what they say they are going to do and if they don't my respect for them drops a little. Maybe that's just me. I know that I got confirmation of my order for the 20th Anniversary Barker book and I have gotten nothing in the way of notification that the book is still coming, canceled, delayed or what. I guess if it is done it will have to be retitled as the 25th Anniversary.

Reply I received to my email inquiry on 4/17:

Thanks for your patience. The books arrived in January, but had a printing error on the dustjacket. I went through two more version of printing the DJs, and finally approved one last week. I should have them in hand and can then ship books by mid May.
Best,

Just ask - you never know?

btw, I was just looking at my Dan Simmons Song of Kali yesterday that Earthling did. It's a pretty sharp production and I like it a lot. I find it better than the Sub Press Limited editions for Dan Simmons' work that have been done recently. I hopefully expect a similarly sharp edition from Earthling for this book. *crosses fingers*

The Lettered (only 15 done) of Song of Kali is a spectacular production.

I was debating my purchase as well, since it comes at a time where I need my cash for other things. But to have one book signed by King, Hill, and Gaiman, the three authors I collect the most of, was just too good of a deal to pass up.

Make it King, Gaiman, LEBBON and Hill for me. I'm not even collecting Gaiman yet (I LOVE his books though) and by the time this book arrives I'll have 4 of his signatures without even trying.

I just got mine today. I was expecting something a little flashier, but it is a slick production. I like the fact that there are photos of every book and a introduction to each story, so that's pretty nice.

I also fine it interesting that Stephen King has only one story in the 20 years of this anthology series...

EDIT: After looking through this more I have to find it hilarious that Harlan Ellison has his name copyrighted.
