Obviously, the normal s/l of SoD I has been released, and it's hard for SK's Mod to get excited about the 52 people waiting for the lettered edition...even though it's $1500 a pop.
Bottom line, I doubt SK really cares about the s/l collectors anyway...I mean, he's probably more amused than anything about the whole mindset, and he's not looking at a calender for delivery dates, etc.
We have to remember that from Mod's perspective, this is a core group of, what? 2000 committed fans out of millions? It's not a big deal to them, and has actually zero to do with him or his fan base. Collector's have ZERO leverage - we're still going to buy the trade books, and that's all that matters.
Am I impressed SK does business with CD? No, not at all. But other than signing a contract, I'm not sure SK has even the tiniest bit of concern over if or when an s/l comes out....didn't his interaction with Jerad consist of one short letter and that was it? And he sent some flowers to Grant one time, I guess.
It's just not on his radar screen...
I think we do the right thing by just sitting on the sidelines of CD's books...to me, it's like this Blockade Billy book didn't even get published. I'll get it eventually, but I totally have zero investment or excitement in tracking down an early copy. That's not my fault; that's CD's fault entirely...

) collector, I can only say that I would much rather trade my money with DMG than with CD. One of the first books I pre-ordered was through CD & I was just blown away when they charged me but I didn't receive the book for over a year. Almost stopped me from collecting -- I thought that that was the way this whole industry did business.............then I met Jared, Tomas & Stu! I'd credit them with my continuing lack of money!!!!
