The Collectible Justin Cronin

IMHO the books have been spaced out way too much. The story is complex enough with the characters and the elapsed time that the publication dates have negatively impacted the interest in the series.

Cool, George!!! Anyone have word on the next installment hitting the shelves?

I thought I saw him say sometime in 2014 (I'm almost expecting an October 2014 date, but that might be too soon considering the small amount of info. that's been released).

His last statement, Twitter, I think, said fall of 2015.

I agree, somewhat. I haven't lost interest, but with they weren't spaced out so far. I think there would be a lot more interest if the third was set to be released a year after the second.

[Randall Flagg]

There's no reason to wait for 2015. I believe the book is done.

[Ricky]

2015 does seem like a while (three year gap between book 2 and 3?).

Well said. I would have to agree, wholeheartedly!!!

Today I received my matching number copy S/L of THE TWELVE. I like the consistency and flow of the design of the limited editions from THE PASSAGE to THE TWELVE. I am quite pleased with Cemetery Dance's end product on both of these.

Way back when, along with a lot of other people, I picked up an aftermarket slipcase for the S/L of THE PASSAGE. It's been so long, I'm not sure where I got it. Aside from the spectacular Dolso cases, does anyone know where we can obtain the simple aftermarket slipcases for THE TWELVE like we bought for our copies of THE PASSAGE? Was this a Cemetery Dance product?

[Ricky]

On CD's forum (in The Twelve thread, I think) someone said that they were leftover cases from another production that just happened to fit The Passage, though it wasn't a perfect fit. I haven't seen anything about a similar case for The Twelve, though.

(I really wish they'd just make 'em! I know many of us who bought the S/L (myself included) would buy one.)

[LostAlivE]

I hope CD makes a case that all 3 of them will fit into or at least have one the fits this one like they did for The Passage. All it is is a plain black one.

Got The Twelve today- now looking for #116 of The Passage!

We don't have any in the warehouse right now that fit, unfortunately. But if Dan comes across any, we'll let you know!

Here's The Passage S/L & The Twelve S/L with a BIN of $349 ... that's a good deal.

Really? How much were they retail? I got mine via gifts and flatsigned, not too difficult, but I realize a S/L is more valuable. What are (were) they both going for retail? Like I said I managed to get "flatsigned" (and personalized ones, thanks to members here) so I am unsure. Appreciate the info though.

$75 for the numbered and $500 form the lettered

There actually is one. The slipcase we used for The Passage is no longer available, though it wouldn't fit The Twelve anyways. The Twelve fits into the white ILT slipcase that's on our store, fair warning though it's not a perfect fit, it is a little looser than what most people would prefer.

Sorry Bill, I was thinking it was $150 each for the numbered vs $75 ea/$150 pair. Okay, so maybe not that good of a deal unless you really want the matching set with the option for Book #3 at cost (seller is offering that)

[Dan]

Looks like CD is considering making a slipcase for The Twelve if they get enough people interested. I emailed them a "yes, I'm interested". If you haven't received the email from them and want one I would drop Mindy a quick email.

[Ricky]

I saw that, was excited, and then saw this line: "Please Note: These would be plain black slipcases with no stamping like the slipcases for The Passage, but the material from that slipcase is no longer available so these would use a different black material."

So, they might make one special that fits The Twelve, it just won't have the stamping, right?

Still, I e-mailed back saying I wanted one.

[Brian James Freeman]

Correct! The slipcases that fit The Passage were plain black (because they were extras from another project that had no stamping), so for the people who have those slipcases for The Passage, adding stamping to these slipcases for The Twelve would make the previous ones look out of place.

Brian

[Ricky]

Ok, thanks!

Hmmmm I may just do that and pick up one for the Passage as well.

Thanks for the heads up, Dan

[Patrick]

Got the email and responded in the affirmative. I'd still like to see stamping on this one and on the future third book slipcase. I like the job CD does on slipcases, I don't want plain! But I'll settle for it if I have to.

[Ricky]

I agree, Patrick.

Brian/Dan: if enough people responded that they still wanted a slipcase, but don't care that including foil stamping wouldn't match with the case for The Passage, would you consider it?

[Brian James Freeman]

I agree, Patrick.

Brian/Dan: if enough people responded that they still wanted a slipcase, but don't care that including foil stamping wouldn't match with the case for The Passage, would you consider it?

If they're willing to pay for the stamping, we'll certainly consider it. We could actually offer the slipcase both ways -- with stamping would just be more expensive since you'd have to divide up the costs of the stamping plates, the foil, and the extra labor among a smaller group. But it's definitely doable. We'll see how many people we hear back from!

Brian

[Ricky]

They are. Clearly I've been elected to speak for your entire customer list.

[Brian James Freeman]

They are.

Ha! I'll email our slipcase maker and ask for breakout pricing that includes stamping.
