Could be.
I put the Number request in as well, but no acknowledgement. but the last newsletter DID state "Just one word to the wise: whilst we will be monitoring email over the festive period as best we can, the office at the unit we be shut and mail-outs will be very limited—if at all—so please be patient. You knows we luvs yer, and rest assured, we'll be back, batteries recharged, and all guns blazing before you know it." so I'm not expecting anything back until at least New Year's. I'm sure that Nicky will be on top of it.

It seems like ages since I was here (log-in and password problems) but here I am, back in a new year, feeling fit 'n' frisky. Just be gentle for a while tip I find my feet again. Oh, there they are . . . ! Best wishes and a happy new year to everyone--Pete
Is Night Shift signed by the artist? The PS website doesn't say (just numbered) but the Cemetery Dance says it is.
Welcome back Pete, and a happy new year from the Queen's other colony.
I received confirmation from CD.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Okay what am I missing here?
I received my copy of The Fireman today and it is quite attractive. I thought it was an edition of 1000 but on the limitation page it says "limited to 974 copies" and I have number 978. Not to mention I ordered it the first day it became available so no idea how I ended up with such a high number. I'm not matching my other titles so I guess it doesn't matter but I'm curious.
26 are probably lettered.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Probably from 1 to 26 are the letters.
Wanted list:
Ubris
If they began the numbering after the first 26 "lettered" copies, the books would be numbered 27-1,000
it apears to me that some companies ship from 1000 - 1 it seems like that with Charlie the Choo. my first order had the highest number, my last order had #68 i have to be more diligent in requesting #s to me it usually is no big deal. but others really like a set #.
Below is from PS website:

Have any folks on this side of the Atlantic received the lettered Skeleton Crew? I was led to believe that these would be distributed by the end of October. Then it was to be sometime in December. And I finally saw that they would be shipped in early January. Not here in Virginia yet.
I'm sorry - I didn't think that I should have expected shipping via the Mayflower. It pretty much sucks that there has been a secondary market for the actual book for at least a month...yet some of those who actually paid for the book can't participate in that market. Just how difficult would it have been to post all 26 lettered books at the same time??? I feel better now...
I know Pete was holding back on shipping them during the holidays. I also haven't received mine yet but Nicky said it has been shipped. I think that was about a week or two ago.
Thanks, Paul. It does me no good to stress about it so I won't bitch anymore.
Best,
John
How common a practice is this numbering pattern? I don't think I've ever seen one like it before. It seems like if you are lucky enough to collect Hill Limiteds that are numbered 1 - 26, you kind of get the short end of the stick as far as completing your collection. Just curious.
