Yeah, we really underestimated what the actual folders would cost. The price per unit for each folder ended up being close to the retail price people paid! That means we ate the other costs -- paying the artists for the rights to print their artwork, producing the actual prints on the nicer acid free paper, etc, etc.
From a business standpoint, we REALLY bungled things!
But from a collecting standpoint, the end results were beautiful!
Like I say, we live and we learn. I want to do another production like that again someday because I love how it turned out! Just need to be more careful with estimating my costs ahead of time.

Is it possible the It portfolio is no longer listed on the CD site (I just took a look and didn't find it)? Obviously they are long gone, but I'd hoped the product pages might be kept up, as is the case with OOP books.

Honestly, I don't know how you get any work done between immediately answering everyone's questions.

So does that mean the 15 year celebration book (ordered back in 2013) will soon become a 30th anniversary book for 2018?
"But, while GWENDY has stolen most of the recent spotlight, we’ve also been hard at work putting together a publishing line-up that will make 2017 and 2018 two of our biggest years ever — just in time for the 30th anniversary of our founding in 1988."

Holy crap! I think I need to set up CD savings account, similar to the healthcare savings account, only for books. Would be a good way to help with all these books!
I need to find a second job.

The the CD Website:
First, I’m extremely excited to report we will be publishing a special edition of SLEEPING BEAUTIES by Stephen King and Owen King. I cannot say more at this time, other than we’ve already read this massive novel and we’re incredibly thrilled to be able to publish it in three different deluxe editions. Details to come later this year, and again, we’re not accepting reservations yet, but we expect this one to sell out in record time. (And yep, that’s a photo of the manuscript!)
