The Wind Through the Keyhole-Collecting Discussion

[PlayPhish]

That confrontation with Roland and The Crimson King was horrid.

AGREED!!!

[Ricky]

At least we know that when faced with despicable evil, all you need is an eraser.

[Lilja]

Hodder & Stoughton confirmed today that their edition of Wind Through the Keyhole will have the black and white illustrations.

[Bev Vincent]

So apparently Bev, Brian & Ari all of them have proof copies. US one i guess?

Scribner hasn't issued proofs yet.

Ok my bad, you had the manuscript then ;-)
But, will they issue any proofs? The publication date is getting close now..

[mae]

I still haven't received my AE confirmation apart from an email that a confirmation is forthcoming. And I placed the order as soon as it was possible.

Should I contact Grant?

DARK TOWER: THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE

1. WEB ORDER PAGE

We have added another of Jae Lee’s color illustrations to the web page.

Since we began accepting advance orders on December 19 we have received over
3,000 orders. We are accepting advance orders for both the Deluxe and Artist
Editions of THE DARK TOWER: THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE at:

https://secure.grantbooks.com/z-sk-dt-twttk.html

Please read the rest of this Newsletter before placing your order.

2. TRADE EDITION SLIPCASE

We will be producing a slipcase for the Scribner Trade Edition
which will match the three slipcases we produced for the first
seven Dark Tower books:

https://secure.grantbooks.com/z-sk-dt-slipcases.html

This will not be shipped until 6-8 weeks after the Trade Edition
is released so that we can be sure it will fit properly. Cost is
$30.00 plus a $1.00 shipping charge. We will not be charging the $5.00 order fee
on orders where the slipcase is shipping by itself.

3. ORDER CONFIRMATION

If you send a check and the check is cashed we have received
your order. If you sent an order via our website you will receive
as confirmation an email titled “RE WWW Form Submission”. We have received over
3,000 email orders but are now sending
confirmations within 3 or 4 business days. If you call or email us
this will only delay getting orders ready but if you sent in your
order in December and did not receive an order confirmation
please send us an email with the subject NO ORDER CONFIR-
MATION to karenf@grantbooks.com.

We have a small staff and will be hiring extra help but it will take
time to process orders, especially for people expecting a specific
numbered copy. We appreciate your patience.

Please do not call or email us for further details as we will just
refer you to our web site and suggest you remain subscribed to
our email newsletter.

4. PRINTED FLYER

Our usual full-color printed flyer will be in the mail next week.

5. LITTLE SISTERS - MATCH YOUR NUMBER

Due to financial considerations at the time many of our cus-
tomers who bought the Deluxe Edition of LITTLE SISTERS OF
ELURIA chose not to purchase the matching numbered Gift
Edition. As we have been shipping copies from the higher num-
ber down we still have many of the Gift Editions up to number
690. If you would now like to match your Deluxe Edition with
the same numbered Gift edition please email Karen French at
karenf@grantbooks.com under the subject title “Little Sisters
Gift Number” with your number and Karen will confirm if we
still have that number.

We will send out another Newsletter when we know when ship-
ping THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE will begin.


Thank you.

Robert K. Wiener, President
Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc.

They really don't want to be emailed do they?

New art:

[Robert Fulman]

Complete rip-off of my R-rated version of the cover art. Are there any lawyers on the board?



(jk, of course)

[Ricky]

I don't know if there's anything to it, but I like the B&W pieces much more than the colored pieces. I think that the thing with the colored ones is that they scream, "HEY! Look! I'm in a comic!"

[DanHocker]

I think it only screams comic because most everyone is used to seeing his work in the Dark Tower comics. None of it really screams comic to me, as I haven't actually read or seen more than the covers of any of the comics. To me it's just that it's a completely different style direction than any of the other Dark Tower books.

[Ricky]

Exactly. It's the style that sticks out. I can't look at it and not think comic comic comic. All of the DT artists have different styles, of course, but I think this one is getting alot of attention because of his comic background as opposed to book "illustrations".

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

The more I see this Jae Lee cover, the more I hate it.

I do think the Scribner cover is one of the best ever produced. (and I fuc*ing hate Scribner).

This must be hate day for me!

I LOVE this!!!! LOL LOL LOL Great work!!!

[Patrick]

That newly revealed artwork is trippy.

Yours is good, too, Robert Fulman.

[Randall Flagg]

UK cover

[mistercrowley]

That's another cover I like better than the Jae Lee Grant cover.

[biomieg]

I don't know... it will have to grow on me, I think. So far, Scribner is the winner.

[jhanic]

I like it. As mistercrowley said, it's better than the Grant Jae Lee cover. I still think the Scribner cover is best.

[olverts]

I couldn´t agree more John !

[mae]

Not bad, but reminds me of some of those teenybopper fantasy books. Scribner's is badass.

[neosatus]

Yeah. It's incredibly cliche to me.

[Creator thoughts]

"Well, it's got 'keyhole' in the title so let's make a keyhole cover."
"Ok, sounds good but let's spice it up a bit--let's add fire. Everything looks cooler with fire."
"Brilliant."
*Pats back.

Oops, forgot to mention:

• Put a pyramid or triangle in-easier to draw than an ellipse and makes more (non)sense.
