Cemetery Dance discussion thread

Yesterday received my first ever CD shipping notice e-mail (for The Shining...

Just got word that the USPS (media mail) has custody of it. Anyone have an idea on how long this thing should take to get to a suburb of Boston? I know MM isn't speed-oriented; I'm just curious what to expect.

Well if it was FedEx probably 2 days. Media Mail is weird, could be 2 days, could go for a detour and be 7 days. I'd say 3 or 4 though under normal circumstances.


Edit: For those wondering, we're just about done the Gift Editions. I'm expecting to be onto the Artist Editions probably on Wednesday.

Thanks Dan.

File under "blast from the past":

On the subject of Peter Straub... Any chance of doing a super deluxe edition of Ghost Story? That would be awesome!!!!

Absolutely!
And a SHADOWLAND limited would be just as wonderful.

I don't know how much emphasis CD puts on Straub, but I echo these sentiments, especially for Shadowland - I'd prefer a nice CD edition of that to almost anything else I can name. Ghost Story is also a true classic.

+ 1. I'd love more Straub limiteds, too. The Blue Rose Trilogy, in a matching S/L, would be awesome. I've also been recommended Floating Dragon as a masterpiece (on my to-read list).

I think we need to have a 4th of July Sale!

[Br!an]

My packing receipts use to have the correct order number on it. Now it has some order number that perhaps Dan generates.



It's screwing me up. Sometimes I'll place more than one order for the same item. Without the correct order number I have to guess which order was filled.


If you can't use the original order number for some reason, perhaps you could add it on the receipt as a note or create a field for it.

A question for everyone/anyone, but particularly and specifically not for Dan Hocker or Brian James Freeman:

Any guesses or feelings as to when we are likely to see Night Shift announced/put on sale? (I don't expect DH/BJF to be able, or inclined, to comment until it's actually announced - for them, it's privileged information; for everyone else, it's just a guess. Likewise, for any of you who are close enough them to actually know, this question is not for you.)

I think The Shining was announced just a few days after Salem's Lot started shipping, but I'm not 100% certain of my dates with those.

1. Will the "Sleeping beauties" 1st/1st slipcase be available again?
2. Is it possible to order "Gwendy's Button box" slipcase?

[Brian James Freeman]

1. Will the "Sleeping beauties" 1st/1st slipcase be available again?

Yes, later this week, hopefully!

2. Is it possible to order "Gwendy's Button box" slipcase?

Not yet, but it will be in September! We're having extras made since they fit the Nocturnal Reader Box edition and folks might want them for that version, too.

Our website system and our offline order management system use different numbers, which is a joy for everyone involved, trust me. The offline system DOES have both numbers in the database, though, so I will ask if a field can be added to the packing slip that would show the website order number for you!

I wish I had this ability to maintain a sense of humor at work...

That'll work. Thanks, Brian.

If I remember correctly it was said that they would not announce Night Shift until they completed shipping. As they are now whipping the Artist Editions I would think they will complete that one soon. With that assumption I would think Night Shift will be announced sometime in July. I could be wrong though, its happened twice before.

I read on another forum that Night Shift has already been pre-sold to certain people. Is this accurate? If so, which version? I came into this a little late so am playing catch up. I've gotten almost all of the Gift editions, but going forward would like to buy at least a AE. I would love to have the Traycased Stand, but I assume those are all spoken for as well.

Just thought I would ask on here. The person said they got an email saying they could pre-order all of the remaining three books but didn't say what versions. Thanks.

Any chance someone purchased two copies of the Graveyard Edition Bentley Little's The Handyman and will be looking to sell one?

I placed my order, then a today I received an email from CD saying they oversold and my order had to be cancelled. I know, I should have ordered the day before. I don't blame CD, I blame myself. I was really looking forward to collecting this set but it would be pointless if I can't get the first one

Is CD also making a special edition of Night Shift? Just like PS did? What's the fun of that? Why not go for a book that doesnt already have a special editon?

CD's was announced before PS. PS's just came out first. So your comment is directed at the wrong publisher.

CD announced a few years ago that they would be doing special editions for all the double-day years books, including pet sematary. I think this was announced well before PS announced they would do one.

They are doing them in order of publication, and are just now approaching the time for "official" pre-orders for Night Shift.

Hi Brian, whats the status of the Lettered edition of the Shining. I thought at one time you said you wanted to ship out all 3 states at the same time.

We offered collectors who had ordered CARRIE the opportunity to order the rest of the Doubleday Years books early IF they wanted to place one order and be done with it. No one HAD to order at that time, but if you wanted to order and know you were all set for the set, you could.

I believe we also offered THE SHINING collectors an early window for NIGHT SHIFT a while back, and there will be one more early ordering window for them before the book is officially announced for preorder to the general public.

Hope this information helps!

If I did, my brain wasn't in gear because we cannot size the case for the Lettered Edition on these until we have a finished book. That doesn't mean I didn't say that, ha.

The Lettered Edition case maker is waiting on a few stamping dies to arrive and he has ordered the materials he needs. Not sure of his ETA for working on the project right now, but when he gets closer to actually having the project completed, I'll post something.

Choo Choo slipcases be soon Brian?

I guess because the Doubleday Years set would look very odd without NIGHT SHIFT.

I ordered Carrie and the Shining. I don't remember having this opportunity.
