I love the book "Riding The Bullet" I think it would have been worth $75.00 if the artist Bernie Wrightson signed it. Or maybe Mick Garris could have signed it. Money is tight in this economy and it would be nice to have signatures as something extra.
I wish Glen Chadbourne could have signed SOD II. Paying $75.00 for that book also, and it would be great if it had an artist signature.
They did sign copies, just not for $75!!!! I think it was the deluxe and lettered editions that are signed by the artists and they started at $250 and went to like $750!!!Originally Posted by pixiedark76

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I passed on Riding the Bullet as it's just a so-so short story and a screenplay of a pretty poor movie, Garris is like an expert at making decidedly average films so it's a pretty odd choice to get the deluxe treatment. Now if it was a book based on any of the Darabont classics that would be worth commemorating then it might be different.
But what I really don't like is being taken to a page asking if I want to buy the book every time I place an order with CD, I mean they already have fifty pages in the checkout process instead of one. This has got to be a new one on me, ive seen product suggestions on sites before but to make people go to a whole new page then have to select not to order a damn book they didn't put in their cart in the first place is unreal. Extremely annoying irritation and after ordering a few books in the last few weeks it annoys me more each time I see that page lol.
I mean it's not as if any CD customer could ever not know about what books are coming out with all the OTT promo email things, and speaking of those can you only send me ones about books King writes, not ones about Kings writing, not ones by an author King happens to like and certainly not ones that Stephen King's Postie happened to read last year and decided to tell Cd about

Simply remove yourself from the CD mailing list and stop buying from them.

You know what? That's an absolutely EXECELLENT idea!!! If CD did a "Shawshank" or even a "Mist" (which I personally loved) special edition I bet it would sell like mad!!! (hint,hint Mr. Freeman). Especially, if it was done in the "Riding the Bullet"/"Silver Bullet" type format!!!

If someone is willing to share images of this book for our Collectibles Catalog, it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think the lettered edition has been issued so far.If someone is willing to share images of this book for our Collectibles Catalog, it would be greatly appreciated.
When it is, I'm sure you will be able to assist with images.
Limited Edition and Lettered Edition are all shipping now. It's slow going because the signature sheet is in-between the novella & script sections, which means you have to carefully open the book to the right section, number/letter, wait a while for the ink to dry, etc.I don't think the lettered edition has been issued so far.If someone is willing to share images of this book for our Collectibles Catalog, it would be greatly appreciated.But they're slowly going out the door and should be completed by the end of next week!
These photos aren't huge (or particularly great -- I need to get someone with actual photography skills to retake them for me!), but you can always use any of these if you want:

Brian, will we get an email notifying of the shipment?
John
Yep, you should get a shipping confirmation with the tracking info! If you need me to check on your shipment, or if you think you didn't get the email for some reason, please just email me and I'll check for you. There's still about half of the signed editions left to ship, but they should be finished by the end of next week if all goes well. It's just a little slower going than normal.

No problem. I haven't gotten an email yet, but I realize the constraints you're working under.
John
What about the non-US orders, Brian? Will they also be shipped by the end of next week?
sk
I still haven't got my SOD Vol2
Depends on if they were paid with a credit card or PayPal.
We start with the Non-US credit card orders after we finish the US orders because that shipping charge can just be processed automatically if the credit card is still active, etc. (We contact anyone whose card is declined or expired.) Then we start sending PayPal invoices to the Non-US customers who paid via PayPal. That process can take several weeks when there are more than 500 orders to invoice (as is the case here), which is why we note on our website that PayPal orders will take longer to process and ship. We have to put your order on hold, send your invoice, wait for you to pay it, process the payment, apply it to the order, and then release your order to the warehouse for shipping. That might not sound like it would take a lot of time for one order, but when you have to do it 500 times, it's amazing how long it can take. That's why Non-US credit card orders always ship much faster.
Tito_Villa, drop me a line and I'd be happy to look into your SOD 2 order/shipment: brianfreeman@cemeterydance.com

JohnHi there!
You're receiving this email because you purchased one of the BLOCKADE BILLY signed editions, which is being published by Lonely Road Books.
We wanted to let you know the books will be finished at the printer this month, right on schedule. The traycases are taking a little longer than expected because they had trouble with how to display the signed baseball card, but all of that has been resolved and the traycases are on track to be ready next month. The prototypes are really quite stunning! Both the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition should be shipping by or during the holidays, which seems like a great present to end the year with if you ask us.
Woo hoo!
Thanks for getting that posted, John!
Best wishes,

Any chance you could post a picture of the prototype?

Brian,
On the stephenking.com page, they list the following description for the S/L edition of FDNS:
Traycased Oversized Hardcover Signed Limited Edition of only 750 copies printed in two colors and bound in leather with two color hot foil stamping, a satin ribbon page marker, and embossed endpapers, signed by Stephen King and all of the artists
ON CD's page, it says:
Traycased Oversized Hardcover Signed Limited Edition of only 750 copies printed in two colors and bound in leather with two color hot foil stamping, a satin ribbon page marker, and embossed endpapers, signed by Stephen King
Is it signed by SK only or the artists as well?
Good point. I'm sure Brian will chime in and clarify. My guess is that the 1/750 is signed by the artists-King's signature is the tough one to obtain, the artists were probably happy to sign.
