Can't wait till I have the Dark Man Port!

Can't wait till I have the Dark Man Port!

Me, too! This one was a beast for the case maker -- he went through three designs because of the weight of the artwork -- but I'm really pleased with how everything turned out!

I think that is the reason I am so excited. The case you showed Brian really got me blood goin! lol

we decided to go with full color illustrated endpapers for the Numbered Artist Edition. They'll look really sharp with the cover artwork for the AE, which we've now seen a preliminary version of and think our collectors will really like.

Has it been determined who is doing the artwork for the illustrated endpapers? Tomislav Tikulin or Glenn Chadbourne?

Also, since the Artist Edition artwork cover will be on full display without titles for this series, I was wondering where the titles will be. On the back or just the spine?

Another idea occurred to me for the Gift Edition since the titles will most likely appear on the cover artwork, how about removing those titles as well and including an acetate, wrap-around sleeve (like on the Cujo S/L) with the titles printed directly on it, so when you take it off, you reveal the full art underneath.

Tomislav is providing all of the color artwork.

For the AE, the title and author information will be on the spine.

The acetate sleeve idea costs a pretty penny, but I might steal it for another book down the road.

Hey Brian,

Erin still working on the last of the Doctor Sleep S/Ls? I think she had the last group of books to Remarque and, after that, they were to be shipped!

Thinking that Remarques 1 and 2 were completed and Erin was finishing up the Triple Remarqued copies...

We had a bunch just arrive back to the warehouse, which I believe will ship after The Twelve is done shipping. I'm on the road this week, so Dan will have to confirm the order of things. But because The Twelve is hand-numbered, with a ton of requested numbers, I do know that shipping will take a while.

Brian

P.S. I haven't seen this new batch since I'm away, but the previous ones were amazing. Erin really pulled out all the stops!

Steal away, Brian. I'd love to see it implemented one day.

Yea the latest batch arrived on Monday and we will get it shipped as soon as we can, but apparently when it rains it pours here as there's a ton of stuff to ship right now.

Ship my Dark Man first! lol

Finally, a book I have been searching for on Ebay is being listed as a regular auction. That's the good news!


The bad news is that Cemetery Dance listed it,...which means that the final auction price will probably be 2-3 times the normal market value. Bummer..

Brian or Dan, question for you in the Justin Cronin thread.

[Dan]

I get a delivery notification from CD on the 6th and then another for a different book on the 10th. So, of course the book shipped four days later arrives today and the one shipped first is still half way across the country.

No worries, the second one is the one I was secretly hoping would arrive first, The Twelve! Fantastic book!! Great work, as usual!

[LostAlivE]

I hope CD comes out with a case that all 3 of them will fit into and do something special for it.
Does anyone know when The Fall is going to be released it is the 2nd book of that Trilogy?

[mistercrowley]

The Fall is Guillermo Del Toro

Not sure on a release date but as I understand it, the signature sheets are still with Del Toro. He also has the sheets for the 3rd book as well.

Just back from the road, can you point me toward it? Thanks!

Yep, we're past the two year anniversary now of sending the sheets, but his business manager assured me the other day that they'll be signed very soon!

I am guessing it was the 999?

If so, it ended at a fair price in my opinion.

These Triple Remarqued S/Ls gotta be shipping soon no?

Dark Man packing too Brian?

[Kingfan24]

I thought dark man portfolio was supposed to ship this month along with smoke and mirrors s/l

Dave is sorting the portfolio materials right now to start shipping this week. They will be slow to ship because it's a lot of assembly work and we have to be extra careful with the packing. The Smoke & Mirrors slipcases are here, too, so the Limited Edition will ship after The Dark Man portfolios are done.
