Yes, Dave is done with the 2nd batch and they will be delivered tomorrow. Depending on what time they arrive I will turn them around either the same day or the next day.
Great, thanks for the quick response
Also, do you have an Ikea Kallax or whatever bookshelf with a gray curtain added on and books including, but not limited to, the CD Gone Girl release on it?this is glorious

YES. IKEA + GRAY DRAPES. THAT'S CRAZY! I also have OUT OF THE DARK on that bookshelf though you can't see it in the vid. WOW. I'd be happy to trade collections!Also, do you have an Ikea Kallax or whatever bookshelf with a gray curtain added on and books including, but not limited to, the CD Gone Girl release on it?this is glorious

2nd batch of remarqued copies are in. These will ship Monday as I don’t want them laying around over the weekend.
I would not want to devalue anything but is there any opportunity for a second printing or cheaper option in the works for the Misery edition?
I’d love it if a nice reproduction of the typewriter remarque became available for sale...
The typewriter one is also my favorite, so a signed print would be cool. Or the opportunity to have a "remarque" on a sheet of paper (for whose who missed the chance in their books).
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Soon.
No plans for that currently.
I'll give this some thought.
Thank you for the reply. Based on your business model do you expect that your books will all be at this general price point?
No plans for that currently.

This was fantastic. I ended up watching The Tommyknockers and Lisey’s Story unboxing vids as well. The Lisey’s pricing discussion killed me!
Screw that, I want a typewriter!

I'll assume you're referring to Misery. But you know what they say about assuming. Anyway, there's a short and a long answer to this question.
Short answer: Yes.
Keep in mind though that the numbered Misery was 'underpriced', which I think has become clear to everyone. I'm not saying it should have had a published price of $4K, or anywhere near there, but due to the fact that I made the decision to upgrade after the fact, the book was a steal at the original published price.
As to the longer answer, I had to read that question several times because really, to me another way to ask the same question is, "Are you going to continue to publish books at the quality level of Misery?"
Yes, absolutely.
I probably don't need to state this, and I'm sure it's all fairly obvious anyway, but the published prices are what they are because of several factors: Materials, printing process, bookbinding. Print run also plays a big part. Could I make these books cheaper? Sure, I could but then we wouldn't have the sort of book that we have seen with Misery.
As it relates to materials, I tend to not go with the cheapest option. On the printing front, I have been printing letterpress. A very costly process, but for me, the results are just beautiful. I will note that not all future titles will be printed letterpress, so certainly that will be reflected in the price. You don't always need to print letterpress to make a beautiful book.
And then there's the bookbinding. Machine binding is much cheaper than hand binding. I don't machine bind the higher end editions. They're all bound by hand. These are just a few of the factors that come into play when it comes to price points. Also, I haven't mentioned the enclosures. That is a whole other discussion.
Point is, I love the book as an object of art; just like many of you have stated, and also as simply, a book. One that can take us out of reality into the worlds the storytellers create. I know many of you don't read the limited books, but I've heard from a good number who do, and it's a sumptuous experience.
Having said all of that, I completely understand that not everyone has the disposable income to invest in the higher end editions. But that's where the 'gift' book comes in. And although there are no current plans for one, I'm not entirely against this concept of a 2nd unsigned printing.
Probably more words than was needed, but there you go.
Don't you know better by now not to give me any ideas....With floating feet and axes please!!Perfect!…
