Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[carlosdetweiller]

It was my first work with an ISBN! "Effect of Ionic Packing on Conformation and on Hydrogen Bonding in Alkylammonium Salts." (1988)

None on ABE! The value must be off the charts! Let's rush a limited edition immediately!

A lettered, a numbered and a trade for me, please.

Brian given your comments in Joyland thread about other outlets having copies available following sold out notices is it worth me checking with http://www.pspublishing.co.uk at all tomorrow once you've managed to sell all your copies!

:-)

[Bev Vincent]

An extremely limited edition of 7 or 8 copies. Each one signed by me and my entire examining committee.

Will CD start using the NF website? Maybe let them sell a few of each? That was really fun and confusing - I think it all adds to the book buying experience.

C'mon Brian, it is the afternoon.....time to post a hint (pic)....

Lol

It'll probably be like one of those "What is this a picture of...?" things where they show a picture of something taken with an electron microscope and you have no idea what it is until the final reveal

[Patrick]

This is one of threads I had been needing to get caught up on. Highly entertaining! Brian, you are such a tease.

[Brian James Freeman]

This sample probably isn't going to do anyone any good, but I liked it, so here we are:

(contest has ended, winners will be emailed tomorrow evening if I'm still able to type!)

Reminder: if anyone wants to send me their guess of what we're announcing, email me directly. I'll have something to randomly give away to ONE of the people who guess correctly. So you don't have to be first, you just have to be right. Contest ends whenever I have time to look at the emails.

In The Tall Grass or Children Of The Corn?

I actually really enjoyed working on this entire project. I mean, all of the King books are a lot of fun to work on, but working with Glenn over a couple of months on something like this is even more fun.

That's what I call limited! I think I had 200 copies printed of my PhD thesis (a large number went to colleagues and to the university library, I think there were only about 10 people actually asking for a copy).

There was only one proof, though.

King's finishing "The Plant" and doing a new limited edition of that one would have been... interesting. Personally, I think that the emphasis on "Dark" means that it will have something to do with Flagg specifically, perhaps something along the lines of "Secretary of Dreams" where "The Dark Man" and perhaps other works receive a similar treatment with copious illustrations.

So it's definitely a King book then

[CyberGhostface]

Speaking of two volumes, I don't think we've ever discussed this publicly, but there were A LOT of pre-production discussions about splitting our edition of IT into two volumes due to the size. It would have pushed the costs higher and we just couldn't get a feel for how people *really* felt about past King special editions that had to go the two book route. In the end, we let the man who makes the final call on all important aspects make the decision and, as you know, we ended up with one very big book.

But, just so I know for future projects, if we ever have to consider splitting a King book into two volumes for the special edition, how would you feel about that?

(I can say with 100% certainly this has NOTHING to do with tomorrow's announcement. I've just always been curious.)

Brian

I was happy with one big book.

[Randall Flagg]

Two volumes should only be used if the book is one in a series where you want the same book height and depth (DTIV, DTVII S/L).

[Patrick]

I don't have any problem with two volume sets if they make sense from the publisher's production expert perspective. I like my DT IV, DT VII and THE TALISMAN S/L's.

The Monkey... I think I see opposable thumbs.

I see quite a few hidden (subliminal?) images.
That or it's a Rorschach test...and I'm not revealing my first impression.

HA!

[Jimimck]

I have no objection to two volume editions. The DT editions done in that manner look awesome, and so it wouldn't put me off purchasing something like that in the future...
