Is there a place you can see all the Dan Simmonds S/L's?
HELP ME FIND
Insomnia #459
ANY S/L #459
Not to my knowledge unfortunately. I know the early ones came from Dark Harvest (Carrion Comfort, Prayers to Broken Stones, etc.) all they way to the latest Subterranean Press ones. Only a few were never issued in Limiteds (Fires of Eden, Darwin's Blade, The Abominable, Summer of Night(!))Is there a place you can see all the Dan Simmonds S/L's?

Ah yes, Dark Harvest!
Some were done by Lord John Press

From Publisher's Weekly:
"Corey (the shared pseudonym of Ty Franck and Hugo-nominated fantasist Daniel Abraham) kicks off a sprawling space opera series with this riveting interplanetary thriller. Relations among Earth, Mars, and the unincorporated "Belter" settlements of the asteroid belt and outer planets are rarely more than cordial. When ice hauler Jim Holden investigates an emergency beacon on a derelict Belter ship, he finds—and broadcasts—evidence that it was attacked by Mars forces. Burnt-out Ceres Station detective Joe Miller is puzzled by a drop in organized crime violence and an oddly compelling case involving a missing Earth heiress and a cutting-edge biochemistry company, Protogen. As interplanetary civil war heats up, egged on by the aggressive IRA-like Outer Planets Alliance, Holden and Miller fight and think their way through a sticky web of politics, corporate secrets, and a possible alien invasion. The strong characterization and excellent world-building will have readers jonesing for the planned sequels."
Received my By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain Signed/Lettered "B" for Bradbury broadside. Terrific piece with a fun sketch by Joe! Great service from SubPress.

Good health to all!!!
Bought my first SubPress title of the year: HELL'S BOUNTY by the Brothers Lansdale. A short announcement yesterday that it will ship OP on publication and based on the blurb and the PW reviews, it looks like a good one.
Hopefully we'll see a sale from them soon....
Fuck!
I just took my s/l shining out of my book case to take a photo for someone, and hadn't realised my slipcased gunslinger was pushed up next to it on the shelf. This is the damage the slipcase has done being pushed together over a long time:
I've just emailed SP to see if they have any replacements, but this is a warning to you all if you have one, to make sure nothing is touching it on your shelf!
Oh how horrible. I hope you find a replacement without too much effort and cost. That's a good lesson too, I'l recheck my shelves in the morning to make sure they aren't overly tight.

for some reason, I had CHRISTINE S/L sitting next the SHINING. CHRISTINE IS NOW STUCK ON THE SHINING!!!!!!!!!! HEED JIMIMCKs warning!!!! MY SLIPCASE IS RUINED ITS LIKE PLASTIc wrap stuck to my other book!!!! Totally cheap material!!!!!
Oh No Way! Given the $$ cost of these things, this is ridiculous - this edition has been fraught with problems. All the best in sorting this out guys. It's not even possible to cover it in anything to protect the other books, because it's likely whatever covering goes on it will just stick to it too? I'm away on holidays and now all I can think of is my S/L Shining sitting high on a shelf at my home during an Aussie summer. First thing I'm going to do when I get home is check. Again, best of luck sorting this.
Just had a panic reading this. My SP Shining is between IT and the bright white tray case of Doctor Sleep. Phew! They're okay as not too tightly packed. I have now separated them a bit further with an exclusion zone around the The Shining. Sad we have to do that!
Sorry, James and Glenn for your problems. That sucks!!!
OMG that's terrible. I just went and checked mine and looks like I kept it loosely in the plastic bag it came in fearing the blue might transfer to another book. It's not stuck to the bag at all.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Crazy James! I didn't have to check my copy because I don't own one! Good to know though for whenever I finally get a copy. Hope you can sort it out.
I had to check mine too. It was a bit tightly packed but no damage - removed a book from shelf, spaced it out a little and placed the shining chapbooks on either side as a buffer - hopefully that will appease the shining. That texture on the traycase is just an odd material.
I do the same thing with the plastic bag and no damage whatsoever.
John
Just checked mine also. Quite tightly placed between SL's of Black House & Prime Evil but thankfully it's OK (and now moved).
Bill has been in touch and is going to look if there are any replacements when he gets a a chance. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the comments team. This is the one place that understands these types of worries.
It wouldn't be a bad idea for him to email everyone who purchased a copy and let them know of the potential problem.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
That is totally unacceptable for such an expensive book! No one should have to "separate' other books on their shelf from this edition - that whole concept is fucking ridiculous!
You have my deepest sympathy, James! The damage to your copy is truly obscene and you must be very upset! I hope this is rectified for you, my friend!
All my "special" books are hidden in a bug-resistant bag because I live in hell where the roaches grow huge, have wings, and ruin books. As a result, all my books are piled on top each other in said big bag. ANYWAY, mine is thankfully okay. But if Bill doesn't have any, I think I still have an extra traycase, although it has some blue transfer inside. I'd be glad to help a brother out!
