1. NEW FLYER

Our new flyer is at the printer and is expected to be in the mail
next week. The day it is mailed we will start accepting advance
orders for THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA. We will update
the web site at that time and also send our a newsletter with the
details.

2. UPDATE - THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA

THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA has been printed but is not
yet bound. The foil stamped traycases and slipcases are not yet
ready. It is our hope that all will be ready to allow shipping in
mid-December.

Please do not call or email us for further details as we will just
refer you to our web site and suggest you remain subscribed to
our email newsletter.

3. DARK TOWER SPECIAL OFFER

We have had available to all customers, a special offer which
includes the Artist Edition of THE DARK TOWER VII along with
the THE TALISMAN/BLACK HOUSE Limited Signed Gift
Edition for a special price of $165.00 plus $8.00 Shipping
Surcharge. This is a saving of $60.00 over buying these books
separately.

We still have about 325 numbered copies which are below num-
ber 1,500 and have been reserving them for people who want to
match their Dark Tower VII number. If you have a DT VII
Deluxe but have not yet gotten the matching Talisman/Black
House set please contact us and we’ll check if we still have your
number available.

4. GOAD DELUXE

Phil Hale has sent us more Deluxe Goads. We will photograph
his original drawings which are bound in each copy and post
them on our web site.

Those who tried to buy this edition when we were out of them
will have first priority in chosing the copy they want.

Please note that our cost in the hand leather binding has gone
up over $100.00 per book from when Phil had the initial batch
bound and we must pass on that cost. The current cost is now
$450.00 plus shipping.

5. SLIPCASES FOR DT 1-3

The Dark Tower Gift Set slipcase, which holds DT I-III, is bound
in black leatherette and stamped with all three titles on the
spine in silver and maroon. The slipcase holds all Grant Editions
but will be a little loose for the Viking Editions as those were
printed on a thinner paper.

We had sold out of these some time ago but we do have some
slipcases which have minor imperfections such as a bubble
under the flat maroon foil or a crack in the silver foil.
Accordingly they are discounted by 1/3 and are available for
$20.00 plus shipping.

We still have slipcases available for DT 4 & 5 and DT 6 & 7.

Out of curiosity, when an updated website is mentioned, does that mean a make-over or just all the info updated on there?

I've always had trouble navigating the current site. It always seems like a screen shot of the site four years ago, with broken links, etc. It could just be me, or maybe the site is viewed differently in the States, who knows?

It works OK for me. But, as I navigate from page to page I keep getting a security pop-up warning me that "this page contains both secure and nonsecure items" and asking me if I want to continue. It does it everytime I try to open a new page. It is a bit annoying but I have gotten used to it over time.

the site is old. It sucks. It will only be updated for the new page and some other things. We need an entire new site but it's expensive
