... I've seen various ARCs protected with a transparent film stiff enough to hold it's form. I wonder if that's an option. I wouldn't know where to find it!!!

Perfect...
kickbuttbooks just bought another Joe Hill item to deface...
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
It would be funny if someone could mark a book somehow before selling it to him just to see how quickly it went up signed again. I'd suggest he'd have Joe Hill sign it within five minutes of opening the package.
It's thicker than any brodart I've owned. My Desperation proof from Betts had one on it. Perfect fit--snug as a bug. I'd estimate it's about twice as thick as typical archival film.Sounds like a Brodart cover modified by the user....

For the record, I've tried cutting up a brodart for another proof. Not much luck!

Try a sheet of acetate. Depending on the weight you get, you'll most likely have to score it to get tight folds. Any decent art supply store should carry it.It's thicker than any brodart I've owned.

Yeah its a sticker, on the very bottom mine has lifted a little. Not bad, but enough. A brodart should keep it ok though.It's a sticker??? I don't have a copy yet, but can't believe they'd go that cheap route. The black cloth looks quality enough.

The ones we've lost are never really gone
If we hold them in our hearts while we go on.
Dream as if you will live forever, Live as if you will die tomorrow.
Yeah...I keep mine in a bag to protect it. I don't get it. Was it to save money?
Teaser — Locke & Key by Joe Hill
November 11, 2007
http://www.subterraneanpress.com/
Next year, we’ll be releasing the limited edition of the first six issues of Joe Hill’s comic series, Locke & Key, illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez, which Joe describes as “a supernatural thriller about three kids who find themselves the custodians of an unlikely New England mansion called Keyhouse. Within the house are secret doors with transformative powers, the power to fundamentally change a person’s identity. There’s one door, when a kid steps through it he’s turned into an old person. Pass through another door, and a boy will turn into a girl, while a girl will be turned into a boy. There’s another door that unlocks a closet, filled with robes: an African robe, an Asian robe. By putting the robe on, you change your race. And they find themselves pitted against a thing that calls itself Dodge, who preys on children with a weak sense of self. Dodge has a habit of turning them lethally dangerous: into Columbine style-killers, or lynch mobs. There’s a terrible door within Keyhouse that Dodge would like to force open, and which my heroes have to keep shut at all costs. Ultimately it’s a kind of modern Grimm’s fairy tale, about the way young people discover and construct their own identity.”
Our hardcover edition will be limited to only 250 numbered and 26 lettered copies, with a whole bunch of extras, and will not be reprinted to fill further demand. Look for a more complete announcement soon, with ordering info. Further down the line, after the full tale is told, and we’ve done limiteds of each miniseries, we may also release a compilation of the complete graphic novel and scripts, along the line of the recent excellent Absolute Sandman volumes.
We’ll be announcing Locke & Key first via our email newsletter, so sign up there or risk missing out on this very limited edition by one of our hottest young writers.
I got that email too. Thanks for posting it, Geoff. Can't wait to learn more about this one.

Interesting. Despite ordering from them in the past, I haven't received an e-mail yet.
I went ahead and resigned up.
me too....
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Same here...I registered my personal and work email...just incase.
I think the reasoning behind this is the fact Patrick and I are special, while you guys are not!
just kidding

Geoff is insightful and wise.

Emailed this morning. Is everyone ordering? As of five minutes ago there were still copies available.
I´l skip the Lettered ed. . $500 is to much for me.
Think i will get the Lim ed. instead.
I just tried to order-sold out. Oh well. saved $500 (+$25 shipping).
Like Super Sam, I skipped the Lettered due to the price tag. I'll wait for the Limited.
