Justin Cronin Spoilers!!!

[Joe315]

Saw this on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Passage-...item2323d75672) Not sure if this is an ARC or was released after the hardcover edition but I haven't seen one before.

[Merlin1958]

I'm disappointed about the slipcase too but I am still looking forward to getting my copy.

Have a custom wooden case made by "Dolso" dude!!! He does absolutely AWESOME stuff with a case!!! Ask anyone!!!

I'd be down for a case specifically made for that edition for sure. Not sure about wood, but maybe if it was done right. I'd be concerned about the cost though. CD charges $30 for most of their slipcases and $50 for most of their traycases and I'd buy either of those options in a heartbeat.

Although maybe they will come with a slipcase, and they just forgot to include that info on the website

True, a Dolso case will run you a $100 or so, but you cannot beat the quality and craftsmanship IMHO!!!!!! In the long run, you will not regret the extra bucks!!! Trust me!!! Look at this!!!



For example!!! And I suck at taking pics!!!

[Joe315]

I'd go for a dolso as well but I'd rather have the case match the one they (Goldsboro) did for the passage or I could order two dolso cases...

I emailed Goldsboro a while back and they said no slipcase but it could change.

a truer statement there has never been!!!
We need to clone Dolso
There just isnt this kind of craftsman ship nowadays.

I know I extoll Dolso's work often, but what is really cool about him is that not only is he a master craftsman, but he has a "collectors" imagination & sense!!! Now that is a rare combination!!!

Does anybody knows when goldsboro wants to ship the goldedition of twelve...? I just cant find my order to look if there is additional information about this??? THX

The publication date is 10/25, so I'm sure it will be around that time

The generally ship things the day of release although I have received a couple things early because they were signed ahead of release. Early for me would be release date or close to it as it takes two weeks or so for a book to reach me in Arizona from London.

EDIT: I looked at my order and it doesn't say anything about shipping.

[Joe315]

I do wish the kept the limitation at 250 instead of raising it to 500. Here is quote from the newsletter from May:

The Twelve by Justin Cronin Exclusive 250 Numbered Edition with bronzed page edges.

Just finished The Twelve and really enjoyed it. Not as much as The Passage (which is hard to beat!) but definitely a great, exciting read. I really like how

Spoiler:

Amy and Wolgast's relationship was still relevant and had some closure. And Amy's a viral now?! I don't know what to think about that. An unexpected turn for sure, so I'm wondering how that's going to affect things. But I'm a little confused; how is she a viral now? That's one thing that I didn't really understand. The only thing I can come up with is maybe it was just a matter of time before it happened (a result of her experimentation in the Chalet?)

And can one of the mods. possibly change the thread title from "Justin Cronin The Passage", to "Justin Cronin - The Passage Trilogy"? Just thought it would be better so the thread can encompass discussion for all three books.

Spoiler:

I thought it was a delayed, albeit a long delay, reaction to the initial virus received. It has been a while since reading The Passage, but that was my impression.

[Ricky]

Spoiler:

Okay, thanks. That's the only explanation I could come up with as well. That would make sense, too, since Alicia had a 5-year delayed reaction to her viral bite.

[Merlin1958]

Finally finished "The Twelve". I really enjoyed it. Are we discussing the book here as well? Or is there another thread I missed for that subject?

[Dan]

This seems to be the thread for The Passage series.

[Merlin1958]

I know, but we don't have one for "The Twelve" do we???

[Jimimck]

If you start discussing the twelve, please use spoiler tags, cos I haven't read it yet.

[Merlin1958]

Naturally, should a thread be started?

[Dan]

I'm sure if you started one, people would use it.

[Ricky]

I know, but we don't have one for "The Twelve" do we???

That's why I suggested changing this thread's title to "The Passage Trilogy" rather than just "The Passage" so it can encompass discussion all three books.

[Merlin1958]

Thread for discussing the "Twelve". You enjoyed it? You didn't? Discuss....
