    I've sold so many CP books for amounts I thought were ridiculous back then but now are bargains. I want to literally pull the little that's left of my hair out. I sold Stand on Zanzibar for I think $120 and now it's at $800. Absolute insanity.

    The Peter Watts set is sold out--signed and unsigned. And it never even made it to the Centipede site.

    It does look pretty sweet. I had to hold back, though, to conserve funds and shelf space.

    Even though I’m a big Matheson fan, I skipped that one at the time of release because I already had the Gauntlet edition that’s signed and numbered by Matheson, so I didn’t need a second copy of the book and also had no expectations that the CP edition would increase much in value, given that Matheson wasn’t signing. Silly and shortsighted belief in hindsight and sure wish I’d decided differently, but what’s done is done, unfortunately.

    Have there been any news about Punktown? There was the briefest of mentions sometime last summer and nothing since.

    Based on the latest Jerad newsletters, other titles that were overdue will be published these months. I think Dune will be published during or after May.

    Default Sold out Peter Watts set

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the Peter Watts set sold out based on pre-orders and thus were not on the website to be ordered normally. If so, how was this pre-order done (through email by newsletter recipient perhaps)?

    By the way, I see that The Elementals by Michael McDowell is now available for purchase.

    Thanks

    The only way I was able to access the product page was through a link in the emailed newsletter. Either the newsletter subscribers cleaned him out. Or the subscribers shared the link.

    May...you're killin' me. Then again waiting a few months to order something that will then ship promptly is an order of magnitude easier than growing old waiting for a CD delivery.

    I just received the refund for the unsigned Watts set. It looks like it oversold. Not a good feeling.

    Yep. I saw the email from CP in my inbox and figured it was the shipping notice. I know, first world problems, but this seriously ruined my day.

    Sorry guys, that sucks

    For sure worse feeling than just not getting one in the first place.

    I'd definitely keep an eye on eBay, a lot of times the resellers don't immediately realize when a Centipede book has had such a quick sellout and list them at their normal low-ish markup at first. I'll bet a set or two will show up at close to retail, immediately sell out, then prices will skyrocket for a bit before calming down. Good luck!

    Good advice right there. Also sorry for those that had their orders cancelled. Never a good feeling.

    I have not heard anything about this, and when I searched my email the only mention was the one you brought up. He's got dozens of books in the pipeline though so I wouldn't necessarily count this one out! It's not a particularly well-known book so I wouldn't be surprised if he is working slowly on it and drops it out of nowhere like the Peter Watts books.

    I did hear from him today that Dune is coming along nicely

    Happy Leap Day everybody!

    It’s been a long time – like waaaaaaaaay long - since I last made a bibliographic post. I’m happy that there is a place to discuss Centipede Press now, but if I’m ever actually going to catch up to Centipede Press in 2020, I have a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go. To be honest, the reason that it’s been so long is that the next couple of books are just not super exciting. I mean, they’re great! But they are all very similar and there’s just not a whole lot to say about them, in a bibliographic sense. As stories, they are all very interesting and good and worth checking out and worth commenting on! But as book objects they are all the same. Which makes writing about them less exciting.

    However, the really good stuff – the Centipede Press “experimental” years, which I would say was from roughly 2007 to 2012 – is right around the corner! So many books with multiple states, lots of interesting new design elements… just a bonanza of book-y goodness. So I need to get over this hump and get to it already!

    To do that, I’m going to make one final post for the rest of the circle series, which includes four more books. The last two bibliographic posts – go back and look at those if you want pics. These books are the same materials, same design, same deluxe editions (as far as I know), etc. Just different titles and cover art. If you’re particularly interested in the cover art for these books, say so, and I’ll maybe take a picture of all of them together. But seriously I need to just post these so we can all move on.

    “Why don’t you just post things out of order?” you might ask. And probably that would be more interesting, even! But unfortunately for you and me both, I can’t. For the same reason that I can’t abide by a non-matching number, or the tiniest bump on a corner or a new book, or any of the other absolutely crazy shit that all of us experience to various degrees in our collecting habits. But the good news is that we are going to do the god damned best and most thorough Centipede Press bibliography that has been done! And after this post, for the next five years worth of books, it’s going to be more interesting for all of us.

    I say that with a little hesitation because, again, it’s not like these books are bad or uninteresting. They are neither! But I have kids, a small bit of a life, and a job even, and I’m ready to get to the really good stuff.

    Here we go, the rest of the circle series:

    Up next - the first book in the long-running Masters of the Weird Tale series , and a title with at least four different non-deluxe states!

    Spoiler:
    Masters of the Weird Tale: Algernon Blackwood


    Really – we’re gonna go dive right into the deep end here . No more cookie cutter designs, but rather the opposite: many states, some short-lived and experimental, others that introduce elements that we’ll continue to see to the current day. To me, the most interesting period in the Press’s history.

    Hurray! I've been waiting for you to continue your series.

    Will you be grouping the Masters of the Weird Tale books with the corresponding Library of Weird Fiction titles? If anything, it might be interesting - and helpful, for prospective buyers - to compare and contrast the contents of each pair. I've searched for that information myself in the past and it is hard to come by.

    "We are working on the first of our Weird Tales anthologies. The first volume is the “Best of 1920s Weird Tales” and is over 700 pages of fiction and poetry. Each story will have a new full page illustration."


    100 years ago in The Weird Tales. I'm excited!

    This is not a bad idea. Right now I am doing everything chronologically by release date, which means that we wouldn't get to the Library of Weird Fiction releases until we got to 2014, the year they started being released. However, while I started this as an outlet for my Centipede Press obsession, it would be nice if it was actually helpful to people in some way, and this seems like a way it could be helpful. I can post the table of contents for the MWT and LWF books when they are from the same author so folks can compare what's in each book.

    Thanks for the suggestion! And please remind me if I forget to do this in my next bibliography post
