FLOATING DRAGON by Peter Straub is now SOLD OUT!

Brian

Wow, I ordered one at 10:15 this morning, must have got one of the last ones

[frik]

I decided against.
(Still) no regrets....

As someone who has ordered and received one of these "dinged" copies from CD, I can 100% recommend getting one if you haven't already. Mine had no dings at all that I could identify. Well it didn't until an earthquake knocked it off the shelf and split the slipcase aprt i sections.....

I should have put this on the page:

* = the "dinging" may actually occur in the future, we're not entirely sure when we put these Grab Bags together!

Thanks for the Knowing Darkness orders! These will be a little slow to ship because we have to finish shipping the trade hardcover of The Wind Through the Keyhole (started today so people will get their orders next week around the publication date) and then The Dropper and Killing Ghost. Plus, even though the books are being sold as "dinged," Dan still wants to pack them really well to prevent additional issues in transit and Knowing Darkness is slow to pack anyways because of the size and weight. But we'll let you know when we start the shipping process!

Brian

Hey Brian, so can we assume that any copies that aren't currently dinged will be?

Depends on whether Dan and Dave have a clumsy day. These are actually all coming off a back corner of the returns/problems shelf, and some of them were just returned copies because a customer changed their mind or didn't know how the heck they were ever going to store a book this big (really -- we had two of those!). So conditions may vary and some are probably as brand new as can be, but we have to get them out of here to make room for the four new books we're dealing with (two of which are trade editions, which means a good number of retailer/distributor returns), and this seemed like a good way to do that and also give everyone a chance at a very cool book for a good price.

I must say that I got in on the last "Dinged Sale" of Knowing Darkness and my copy had ZERO defects. I thank the awesome peeps at CD again =)

Brian, please don't send me a returned copy. That would be a used book. I bought a new book. Save those used books for someone else. The returned books should actually be selling a little cheaper since you never know if the customer looked through it or not (unless the book is shrinkwrapped).

You're a Lawyer, right?

They are all mostly shrinkwrapped, although some of the shrinkwrapping is coming off. But Dan can make sure yours is definitely off the "noticeably dinged" pile and not the returns pile to be safe. ha!

I'm hoping that'll be the case for most of these because Dan is really picky about what books he'll send out for normal orders, so I think a lot of these are in surprisingly great shape, but of course we recommend every one who orders through this deal expect some kind of dent or scratch. If the book is closer to perfect than you expect, everyone wins.

The Dropper by Ron McLarty will begin shipping next week!

Well, I probably had that coming.

lol... I think you'll be happy when the book arrives, but if you're not, drop me a line!

I was joking around, Brian.


I had bought (from Jerad) two traycased copies and one of the slipcased ones. I can only imagine having shelves full of these massive books. Y'all must have some VERY sturdy bookcases.

I have two or three dinged copies left if you need a dinged copy to officially complete your set.

The bookcases are actually made out of Knowing Darknesses.....

FLOATING DRAGON by Peter Straub is now SOLD OUT!

Brian

Glad I got my order in!!!

Me too!!!! Floating Dragon is one of my most favorite books by Peter Straub. I can't wait to see the artwork! I love dragons! I was not going to get it, then I decided I could not pass it up. I got "Pork Pie Hat" from CD and I got "The Skylark" and "The Juniper Tree" from Subterranean Press. I also have "The Talisman" and "Black House" from Donald M. Grant so I thought "Floating Dragon" would make a great addition to my collection.

Did you get the Centipede Press books, If You Could See Me Now and Koko?

I don't believe there's going to be any (interior) artwork!

Nope. From the CD Forums:

Just the cover I'm afraid. I wish we could do interior art on all our books, but sadly most of the time it's just not in the cards.

glad to see that THE TWELVE will have a slipcase. Also glad that the price of the limited hasnt went up...made for a good morning.
