I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

If posting this is a problem let me know and I'll delete it, but looking to sell the three Elric books from Centipede Press - $1,300 plus shipping from Canada. More pics here.

Mid-February can't come soon enough.
Would any owners of Childhood's End be interested in getting a slipcase or traycase for the book? I'm thinking something like the traycase for CP's edition of Salem's Lot.
It looks amazing. When I saw pictures, I thought I was seeing the deluxe edition.

Looking for SubPress Lettered::
Angel's Game and Prisoner of Heaven (Zafon)
Ilium (Simmons)
Oof, premature elderly strikes again.
My book has been waiting at the PO Box across the border for almost a week. I'll probably pick it up next weekend.
There's an eBay seller who recently posted a bunch of CP books and today has been posting a bunch more:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...ipede&_sacat=0
Just want to let any potential interested parties know that these are all very fair prices - nothing really underpriced (so no real room for reselling) but nothing really overpriced either. If you're a CP collector and are looking for any of these books, I'd jump on it.
Final push to clear off some shelf space, some rarer Centipede Press titles included:

From the newsletter...
The Haunting of Hill House will be up for order next weekend. The price will be $625 per copy. This is an oversize book, printed in two colors and four colors throughout, with several full-page, full-color illustrations tipped into the book. It is signed by Matt Mahurin and Caitlνn R. Kiernan. It has a new introduction by Caitlνn Kiernan, and a reprint of a classic Stephen King essay from Danse Macabre, plus an afterword by Laurence Hyman. It comes with a handsome cloth binding, dustjacket with art by Mahurin, and the whole is enclosed in a cloth slipcase. The dustjacket has already been wrapped in Mylar for you, which means the slipcase is designed for this. The slipcase has a 3D lenticular image on the cover. There are other nice touches as well. With luck, the title will be shipping near end of January. But we will definitely not be shipping during the insane Christmas season.
So it's almost twice the price of the Suntup numbered edition.
It must be one hell of a production.

I'm thinking it will be. That's a lot more than even their high end books.
I can't help but wonder if Jerad had always planned on doing such an elaborate production of Hill House or if the release of Suntup's edition caused him to go the extra distance.
Imagine if King signed it

I just dont know if I can justify that price.
There really haven't been that many books on that level (secondary market prices excluded, of course). You could always get a Centipede shelf going too.
I'm very tempted to get it; the extras seem just out of this world (sixteen illustrations, the maps drawn by Jackson, writing by Kiernan and Jackson's son, the lenticular image, generous trim, very small limitation of 250 copies etc.) but this probably wasn't the best time to release such an expensive book. It's not just Christmas, Dune is right around the corner and that's going to be in the same ballpark. I'm saving my pennies for that.
As a subscriber, I'll definitely be getting this one, and it's a particularly nice book to get the subscriber discount on.
I do wonder, as Jeff mentioned, if some of the elaborations that come with this weren't originally intended. Perhaps because of Paul's influence (a good thing!), and/or perhaps because the production was dragging out, it was possible to take the time to make some additions to the slipcase (I'm thinking here of the lenticular inset, which I don't believe was mentioned in any of the original emails, and as far as I can tell was first described in July of this year).
It's undeniably going to be a fine book, and I really like both the extras (particularly the inclusion of King's essay and most especially the original drawings that Jackson did) and the production upgrades. I also think that Mahurin was a good choice for the art and Kiernan for the intro. Also, if anyone's noticed the measurements, it's going to be a big book - 8"x13".
I definitely understand the hesitation though - this price is one of their highest ever. I think that it's going to be on par with the recent deluxe Elric books, a step up even from the spectacular Childhood's End. But I get why people are giving it a pass. It hasn't sold out yet, which I'm sure is a function of the high price, but I'll be interested to see if the remaining copies will be around for days, or weeks.
