Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[frik]

Can't really say, but I will anyways, but the fact that Guillermo de Toro has had the signature sheets for literally years, and still hasn't got around to signing them, (time management issue?? uh-uh) - well, don't know the real reason, but there must be more to this. How long does it take to sit down and write a few hundred or so autographs?
Wouldn't surprise me if the sheets have gotten lost...

If they were lost, it would be great for his people to just tell me since everyone else involved would be happy to sign again, you know? I actually did offer this solution at one point when he was not going to be back where the sheets are supposed to be for a few months. Last I heard, they were locked in his "man cave" which I'm sure is a huge place, ha! But I was told that wouldn't be necessary.

Brian, how are things going with Lonely Road Books? Any updates on The Fall and if you have any idea if/when LRB will be doing Legion to go along with the fantastic edition of Exorcist?

Thanks

For THE FALL, everything is ready for the printer... just waiting on Guillermo del Toro to find some time to sign the signature sheets I sent him a few years ago. I've talked to his agent, his assistant, and his business manager over the years. Everyone says he loved what LRB did with THE STRAIN, so it really just seems to be a time management issue. Fingers crossed he finishes soon...

THE NIGHT ETERNAL is also completely ready for the printer, except for the signature sheets.

I actually have a new Limited Edition of LEGION with artwork and design to match THE EXORCIST all ready to go, with the exception of the signature sheets. When Bill has time to sign, we'll get them signed, and then I'll send the book to the printer and announce it sometime between then and publication, with THE EXORCIST customers getting first shot at their numbers/letters.

The Blatty Screenplay project is ready for the printer and Bill will be signing the sheets soon. It's a really fun set, I hope people like reading these as much as I did.

Brian

There was no preorder for The Night Eternal was there? I have The Strain and ordered The Fall. I hope i didn't miss it. My future grandkids would be disappointed if it didn't show up when those sig sheets finally get signed.

Nope, no preorder yet.

Thanks!

Hi Brian! Any word on the remarques that David Palumbo will add to the books buyers who chose to purchase that option? Thank you in advance!

Already finished on their dedicated pages, which the printer will hand-tip into the books during the printing process. I didn't think to take any preview pics, but I'll see if the printer might be able to do that for me!

Will palumbo offer remarques for the artist portfolios? I really hope so. I have a great display idea bouncing around in my head.

Not sure yet! We have to see what terms his agent will ask for first, but we're not there yet.

How does one order a remarque when purchasing from CD?

I've seen this mentioned quite a few times ("100 remarqued copies were available", or "paid an extra $150 for a remarque", etc.), but have never seen remarques as an option when making a purchase through the website. And I've made a lot of buys from CD.

I know it's too late for Salem's or others in production now, but this would be great info for my future orders. Thanks!

When an artist approaches us about offering this, we send an email to those who have preordered the book in question and those who are interested can email Mindy back to modify their original order. We haven't offered the remarques at the time of purchase, so it's not something you'll see when placing your order. Hope that helps!

Brian

Thanks, Brian. That does help. A couple follow ups: should I send a note to Mindy to indicate that I'd be interested in the opportunity to purchase remarques in the future? I've never been offered a chance to buy on a preorder. Is there a list of customers to which remarques are offered if they've preordered a given book? Like an email distribution group for remarque sales? I'd like to get on that list if so. Thanks!

It's usually to anyone who has preordered by the time we get everything together with the artist -- how many the artist thinks they can do, etc. Sometimes it's within a few weeks of the book announcement, but often it isn't for a month or two. But if you're not receiving ANY updates on 'SALEM'S LOT, drop me a line because I've been trying to send them out every 4 to 6 weeks!

It's pretty simple:

1. Order book from Cemetery Dance when it is first offered.
2. When email comes offering remarque, respond (click link) and pay.

Wash rinse repeat for each title.

If I am understanding the situation, he is pre-ordering but not receiving emails offering the remarques.

I believe he is asking about remarques after the fact (I didn't see where he indicated he had ordered upon initial announcement, yet never was made aware of the opportunity to add a remarque).
KingKorn said he has "made a lot of buys" from CD. A lot of buys doesn't mean he purchased each item when announced.

I can't speak for CD, but I would suggest that KK should contact CD, and if he originally purchased a book that later had a remarque opportunity, CD will figure out why he was missed and correct it for the future.

[Br!an]

I'm sure Brian will sort it out.

[TCCBodhi]

At any rate, I got excited today about the prospects of the remarques for The Shining and that I see that email before the spots fill. I'm so pleased that CD continues to make these excellent reprint editions that even without the SK signature are prized books, at least in MY collection!

[KingKorn]

Br!an is correct. I have pre-ordered many, many books from CD (directly after announcement) and have never been offered an opportunity to buy a remarque. I'll contact Brian (at CD) as he offers in post #11538 above. I'm sure he'll be able to help sort it out.

I don't consider this "Whoring" for the HF when I say, what a very generous and supportive effort, Brian and all the folks at CD have provided for the early onset of the 2016 Fundraiser with the 2 ARC's for "'Salem's Lot" along with the email marketing support!! You guys are just amazing and deserve a hearty pat on the back!!! Way to go, CD!!!!


Edit: Considering the number total we established in 2015, we're going to need all the help we can get to top that figure again this year!!! The support and generosity of EVERYONE here is amazing and greatly appreciated!!!

Thank You, Cemetery Dance!!!!

Hi, I ordered Salem's Lot a month ago and I'm very curious about the book. When will it be finished and shipped to the ones who ordered a copy?

[AstroDad]

Here is the link the the Cemetery Dance production page. latest update on Salem's Lot is about half way down.

CD Production Updates

Last update was that it would be sent to the printer last week sometime and they should have a publication date soon.
