Damn! I don't have anything bought in Dec. 2013. I want that one!
Hi,
Has there been any updates on Sleeping Beauties or Gwendy’s lately?
I am under the Impression that we should see Gwendy’s before Christmas, and not any idea on Sleeping Beauties?
Looking forward to seeing these as not having the good fortune to snag a Misery has left me wanting!
I would guess late next month for GWENDY, but I'll post a note when I'm sure! Here's the latest update:
http://www.lonelyroadbooks.com/category/news/
I have no official news yet on SLEEPING BEAUTIES, but I do know that THE BEST OF THE SCREAM FACTORY was *finally* finished at the printer, and the unannounced thriller novel and A GAME IN THE SUN are pretty far along. They were two of the books we had to retrieve from the printer that went out of business in June and restart at our other main printer. My understanding is Richard will start SLEEPING BEAUTIES after those two have been cleared from the press, and NIGHT SHIFT will be started once SLEEPING BEAUTIES is in the warehouse. I'll post a more official update as soon as I have one, though.
Thanks!
Best,
Brian

What is the ordering window for this years collectors club?
Brian/Dan, in regards to the Book Club publication from 2014, will Mindy send out an email to all recipients beforehand to confirm shipping addresses?
Thanks.

YES, this for sure. And just changing your address on the site does not change it in our order management system, for example. Definitely email Mindy! order@cemeterydance.com

Hi, I need to be honest and say I am a little underwhelmed by today’s update on Sleeping Beauties.
I saw little change to the update from June, except a kind gesture to ease the pain. I am not ungrateful as know some may use that and receive as intended. If I can transfer to someone here Brian, let me know as no use to me, as that would generate uk shipping prices that would double the cost of a book.
Back to the update, I was under the impression that the dummy book was being made in June, and would take 4 weeks to produce based on June’s email? Unless I misread the vibe of that update?
Oh and to be clear, I fully support you guys, you work so hard to please us, but when you read the two updates it feels to me, tiny steps forward, and being a key book, expected it to have moved on more, and feel like you are pushing like it’s leaps ahead (Not cancelling or anything, that baby is mine).
But unless I misread the new update, the dummy book has yet to start, which puts us where on the journey and completion time? Do you have a target you aiming for?
No worries, shaq! I understand where you're coming from!
I could have written more in the update, but I felt like it was getting too long and complicated as it was and a lot of our collectors don't really follow the process closely, so I didn't want to create more confusion than there already has been!
Unfortunately, the printer who is rolling on SB now already had a full schedule of books from us for the summer, so there hasn't been "big progress" to report. They couldn't do much until those projects were cleared out the way. (And I didn't feel comfortable trying our smaller, new printer with something of this nature yet. I'm sure they would have stepped up and handled it like a pro, but I get pretty nervous about the SK books and who works on them!)
The dummy book should arrive in 2 to 3 weeks because the special order materials the printer will use to produce the book all had to be re-ordered back in June and they only arrived this month. (I thought -- mistakenly -- the printer was able to get a small "sample" of the binding material to make the dummy book sooner, but the manufacturer didn't even have any scraps left. That is a real downside to custom made materials!)
Printing will be 12 to 14 weeks after we approve the bluelines, which will hopefully be in early October. Slipcases and traycases will be 12 to 16 weeks, give or take. A little less if we can use the materials that were already cut and in production based on the sizing from the previous printer. I'm really hoping for THAT option, trust me. If we're starting from scratch on the cases, that's a lot of waste.
If I missed something, please don't hesitate to ask! I'll prepare the next update once we see where we are with the sizing and approving bluelines and all of that fun stuff, and that update should have a target ship date, etc.
Sorry again about the wait!
