Choo Choo slipcases be soon Brian?

The slipcases are essentially done, but our case maker is holding them for us and not shipping yet because our warehouse was hit by a hurricane named THE GWENDY'S SHINING BUTTON BOX and there isn't a free pallet position to be found. I won't guess when we'll be able to receive and ship them, I don't have a clear idea on that yet, but they are getting closer in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure Dan will post a note when we reach them on the list!

Tanks man. I hope you have one or two extra. I missed ordering and am pretty bummed by it. haha

Hi Brian - have all shining gift Editions shipped? I ordered a gift and artist. I got my artist but not my gift so far.

[Brian James Freeman]

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

Drop me a line in a week. I'm willing to bet someone will randomly cancel their order in the next seven days, probably just minutes after Mindy finishes with cleaning up the "oversold" list.

That sounds like a Dan question if I've ever heard one!

I believe the Doubleday Years set announcement (mentioning all 6 books) was made in April 2014. At that time, the option of preordering the entire set was offered, so technically Night Shift was on sale (ever so briefly) at that time to those people.

Other than that, people who've bought lettered editions have had the inside track (early notice, I believe) on ordering newer lettered editions as they are offered (I don't think The Shining lettered ever got so far as being listed to the public on the CD website, having been snapped up ahead of time). I believe the same goes on with the Artist Edition, and given that there's more of those than of the lettereds to go around, you may see that listed on the website (but - and I can't overstate this - act fast if you see it).

Even the Gift Edition of The Shining didn't last too long, maybe a few weeks before they first stopped taking orders. Of course, they briefly went back on sale a bit after that (as CD confirmed its order count), and then after that, there's always the odd cancellation freeing up a spare copy or two, but anyone looking for a GE after they are first marked "sold out" is really taking their chances.

Each DY volume has sold faster than its predecessors, but whether that's due to the increased attention the set is receiving (and reputation it's building) or due to the relative popularity of the works (I think The Shining > Salem's Lot > Carrie in the eyes of many), I can't say - perhaps Night Shift lacks The Shining's widespread acclaim and adoration and won't continue that trend (but when The Stand hits - look out!), but even then, I recommend that any interested parties don't dawdle.

I remember being offered the lettereds set too as a pre-sale but just didn't have the scratch

...aaaaand that's what happens when you take 45 minutes to compose your reply.

I believe we also offered THE SHINING collectors an early window for NIGHT SHIFT a while back...

I did receive such an offer many months ago, but didn't want to be the first to mention it openly here.

Where any of yours remarques? If so I haven't shipped any of the remarques yet. I always hold those for last so I can avoid accidentally mixing them up with non remarqued books. Otherwise send me your account info and I can check on it for you.

And remember, folks, CDCC members usually always get offers before the GP. Plus usually a discount on top of that. Not a bad investment if you're into CD's stuff

Yep, that's what it has felt like since early May!

I don't think I posted these little previews of SLEEPING BEAUTIES, but it's been one heck of a year so far and I might have:

Wicked. Just wicked. Love it.

Art is no grabbing me yet but I reserve judgement until it is in my grubby little hands!

So SO true! I had never signed up before but did the half year offer this year. From now on it will be a FULL year.

Again, anyone with an extra hoodie remember me in the cold

Love, love, love! I can't wait to see what all of the various critters have to do with the story.

I believe it's Sept-Oct timeframe for the year sign up. And it's worth it.

How is the Toy Museum by Camden Yards? Thinking about going there while the rest of the family goes to the Aquarium when we see the Orioles.

I just received my Shining AE from CD and it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I also wanted to personally thank Mindy and Dan for the extra effort they put into my order. I was late ordering Salem's Lot from CD ( they sold out quick) and had to get it through Subterranean Press. When I ordered The Shining from CD and asked for #145 they said it was a number that went to Sub Press but they would see what they could do. I got my #145 thanks to Mindy and Dan asking Bill at Sub press to let them keep this number for me.

THANK YOU CD!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWSOME!!!!!!
