With a nod to Brian and CD's cases, if you miss out I got a rather nice case from Dave @ The Overlook for my US first. It glows in the dark too!!! I know what you're thinking, but it was rather tastefully done!!!! I'm very happy with it!!!! Great graphics!!! If anyone wants pics, PM me.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Wow!!! That is really cool!!!! Reminds me a lot of my "Show me your hands" disney cel piece:Originally Posted by oy-the-brave
Yes Alan did a beautiful job on the Oy paintings, I started with the Oy and Jake and the experience with working on it with Alan was fun, and came out great, so I decided to make it a trilogy and I was was VERY pleased with the results.I had wondered who commissioned those -- but I guess it makes sense now!Alan did a beautiful job, didn't he? I think they're stunning paintings...

Nice work on both!
Email sent. Thanks.Yep, it is. We offered them for a little time last summer before we knew we were going to be publishing the Limited. There will be some extras for the usual reasons (10% under/over production; to take care of damages in shipping, etc), so if anyone missed out, just drop me a line and I'll make sure we let you know as soon as we know how many extras there actually are. It could be as little as a couple or maybe two dozen or so.

Love the Jake, Oy, and Dopey artwork!
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Any thoughts as to why Ray Bradbury didn't sign the limited edition of LEGACIES? Easton Press was able to get him to sign their recent edition of FAHRENHEIT 451. Just curious as he is the only living author not to sign LEGACIES.
I was kind of wondering that too. He seems to sign a number of editions of PS Publishing. I wonder if they have some kind of "exclusive" for him.

I will ask and see if anyone remembers. I know we have some other little things with him in the future, but we're not asking him to sign sheets for those projects. The last time I spoke with him, it sounded like his eyesight was going, which is really quite sad...

I know that Bradbury has been having a hard time, health wise for a while. His signature page counts with most of the houses that publish him regularly (PS, SubPress, Gauntlet) have trending downward for a while.
I would not be surprised if Easton has been holding on to those signature pages for a long time. I was in touch with EP customer service about a couple of other author signed books they published, in some cases years after the author has passed on. For authors they plan to work with more than once, they generally have them sign literally thousands of signature sheets. If you look at the limitation page for Fahrenheit (below), it mentions the book title nowhere on the page. Even the limitation itself, pre-printed on the bottom, could have been added at a later date given the crappy generic font differences.
I wish Mr. Bradbury the best of health for years to come, however. On any given day you ask me (depending on what I have been reading that month) he is more likely than not, my second favorite author after King. Always in my top 5.I would love to read more tales from him!
Hey gang!
We're going to be producing a slipcase for King's massive new novel from Scribner, which is entitled 11/22/63. If you're interested, you can read more here:

Are you going to produce a signed/limited edition too? :-)
Please say yes!!

At this time, I've heard of no plans for a Limited Edition of this title.

Yes, they'll be publishing Kurt Vonnegut books for years to come. A recent posthumous book, "Look at the Birdie" has an almost identical signature page - it does mention that it's a first edition, but no mention of the title.
Brian,
Do you have an idea as to how long you guys will be accepting Pre-orders for the Slipcases?
I want one, but would prefer to wait a little bit 30-45 days

I've lost interest in aftermarket slipcases. I do enjoy the quality of the cases that come with the limiteds & gift ed. I prefer the book to be shelved as it was originally released.
Just my opinion......Brian.
Everyone's different! Some of our customers really love the cases for their trades and others don't care for the idea at all.

Hey gang!
We're doing some revamp work on the Cemetery Dance website this year, so please feel free to email me with any critiques of the website or checkout process that you might have, and I'll keep it all in mind during the design and planning phase. Looking at the site ten times a day and using the checkout every week to test new products, I don't "see" it the same way a customer might. So if there's any feature you'd like added, or anything that bugs you, let me know and I will do my best. Not everything is possible with our current software, but you never know unless you ask.
*Please* use my direct email instead of posting here or sending PMs, just so I can keep all of the notes organized: brianfreeman@cemeterydance.com
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Brian Freeman
