    I've just noticed that Peter 's twitter profile picture is the follow.
    Any idea of what it means?

    I'd imagine "XLLLNT" may mean "excellent."

    For the rest, I think he used some kind of typo/misspelling code thing (not really a code, more a way of writing) in either Lost Boy Lost Girl or In The Night Room that may instruct how to figure this out.

    Julia - The Centipede Press Signed / Limited edition and the US 1st edition. This CP edition is absolutely stunning, and another exemplar of their leadership in small-press publishing.

    Thanks, everyone. The artwork would have to be in the top 5 of my collection. It's incredible. And yes, here she is, on the rear cover, from behind. (Do you have this edition too, Becca?)

    Yes, it was so lovely I had to buy one and then I got the the first Straub limited. Now I guess I need to find a copy of Koko.

    Yeah, details are pretty scant right now. I couldn't find anything on how it's being made or if there's any art.

    They say it's two volumes, but I'm still not sure if it's all one book or separated into two.

    It's two books. I ordered through CD back in April.

    Borderlands sent out an email with more info back then.

    Spoiler:
    The First Title in a Great New Series

    We are happy to announce a wonderful new series of Limited and Lettered Editions collecting together in multi-volume boxed sets, the entire body of short stories and novellas by authors such as Peter Straub, F. Paul Wilson, Richard Matheson, Roger Zelazny, Richard Christian Matheson, and others. All editions will be signed by the authors or their editors.

    Volume One: Short Stories Volume Two: Novellas

    Peter Straub has created a body of short stories and novellas establishes him as one of the best literary voices in the genres of horror and dark suspense.His list of accomplishments and awards is staggering: In addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association, Life Achievement World Fantasy Award, Grand Master Award from World Horror, Living Legend Award from the International Horror Guild, he has won the Bram Stoker Award 9 times, the World Fantasy Award 3 times, and 1 British Fantasy Award.

    He remains a living legend

    “Peter Straub's shorter fictions are like tiny novels you drown in: perfectly pitched, terrifyingly smart, big-hearted, dangerous, and even cruel….If you care about the short story, you should read this book, and watch a master at work.”
    —NEIL GAIMAN, author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane

    "Straub has a proven knack for black humor, and he coaxes the nightmarish out of the mundane with startling ease. This is a powerful collection from an enduring favorite in literary chills.”
    —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
    "These stories show [Straub] ranging far and high into the uplands of literary fiction without ever leaving behind the dark impulses and fears that make his work so powerful.”
    —John Crowley, author of Little, Big and the Aegypt Cycle

    The website lists dimensions as 8" x 12" x 4". Assuming the 4" is the thickness of the two books together, this would mean the front cover "footprint" is 12" x 8" - that is freakin' huge. Am I interpreting this wrong?

    I'm actually more interested in this set because it's the only such comprehensive Straub short collection I've seen than for how nice it may be (if anyone is aware of a conventional (and conventionally priced) Straub short fiction omnibus, do let me know).

    Does anyone have much experience with BP's work? Do they do nice work?

    ...also about Borderlands Press: I see they only charge upon publication (at least, their site says "Payment due on publication by either credit card or check") - does this mean that, when they say this (the numbered edition) will be published on Oct 31, they likely will hit that?

    Yeah, that does seem big - almost Secretary of Dreams big.

    BP do solid work. They've published a few Straub titles that are nice, affordable signed editions. Nothing too opulent, but they are well-bound with nice paper stock, endpapers and illustrated dustjackets. I've ordered this set, and am looking forward to it.

    Be aware that BP’s Little Book series is riddled with typographical errors, among a host of other recent issues. I’m not saying that will also happen with the Straub set, but their track record when it comes to proofreading is less than stellar.

    FYI, the books are actually 9” x 6” (still not a bad size).

    According to tonight’s BP newsletter:

    Due to a recent hospitalization of the author for major surgery and treatment, delivery on this title may be delayed until he is available to finish signing the signature pages. We will keep you updated on further developments.

    Centipede Press has two upcoming Straub productions:

    In an 8/11/19 newsletter, Jared wrote:

    One of our upcoming projects is a new limited edition of Ghost Story by Peter Straub. This edition will have archival artwork, plus a new dustjacket by artist Douglas Smith and several two-color linocuts by Vladimir Zimakov, plus bonus archival materials. The edition will be 500 copies, printed on mouldmade paper with natural deckled edges. The anticipated price will be around $400 per copy, with a publication date of around early 2022. If you are interested in this book, please let us know.
    Based on quick google searches, Douglas Smith does nice work, but Zimakov isn’t really for me.

    In today’s newsletter, he wrote:

    Ghost Story and Shadowland by Peter Straub are both in development.
    Although I’d sell a body part for a nice Shadowland, I suspect the production will be similar to that of Ghost Story - and the price as well, which will be beyond me. Still, nice to see these get some attention.
