Limited editions taste so much better than trade editions! When I used to munch on trade editions, I got so much gas! I think it has something to do with the quality of the paper?

Just spit-balling here, but I was one of the ones lucky enough to order the happenstance slipcase for my edition. Let me tell you the edition was made for a slipcase IMO. Especially the Red case on the black book, Marvelous look!!! I think I only paid $24 for the slipcase.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is maybe a good solution would be to offer a discounted slipcase to customers. The way I understand it the cases were leftovers from another edition so specs and such should be on file, no? It would (hopefully) just be a matter of re-ordering from the manufacturer. If anyone wants to see pics w/SC:
Lousy pic, but you get the idea. I'm sure Brian could do much better. Since this edition did not have a DJ, a slipcase really seems in order!!! The ribbon-marker, which would have been nice, is not a "deal-breaker" to me. If I had a choice between the 2, I'd take the case and pay a few extra bucks in a heartbeat!!!! Which I did!!!! LOL LOL
Just a thought.

I have net received my shipping notification yet but CD's website has moved Legacies from Coming Soon to Recent Releases. Great way to end the year! I thank all at Cemetery Dance for not giving up on this project!
We thank each and every customer who patiently stood by us during the years it took this project to be completed. Our customers were supportive and showed a ton of faith.
We're now starting to ship the Limited Edition AND the Lettered Edition, and these orders are going to ship a little slower than normal because we are cross checking all of the orders by hand to make sure everyone gets their book at their *current* address since it's been a long time since the orders were placed and folks have obviously moved around. We just want to make sure your book is definitely going to the right place since it's been such a long time coming.
Thanks for your patience!
Best wishes,

Brian, if you can't find anyone's current address for shipping, just assume they live with me now.

Brian, do you think that CD will ever be completely transparent as to all the reasons for LEGACIES being delayed so long? There were rumors of litigation (and other things) so maybe y'all aren't at liberty to be completely open and honest about it. But it would be nice to hear the whole story of a book being delayed over 10 years.
I have to agree with your assessment. Book was a disappointment. I had images of the Stand when i started reading. Alas there is only ONE sai King..... I am pleased to find out that the book is a trilogy and perhaps the future books will flesh out and redeem the otherwise anticlimactic disappointing ending
Hi Bob!
There was no litigation of any kind or anything like that. I remember a rumor that a certain author refused to work with us and would never sign the signature sheets -- all while photos of the signed sheets were on the website and we published other books with that author! I wouldn't put much weight on rumors.
As I mentioned a while back, the project was bigger than realized/expected/understood when it was conceived, so there were numerous printing and binding problems, specifically due to the number of tip-ins. There were a lot of false starts including several stretches where we thought we found the right printer or binder to finish the job and they didn't work out for a variety of reasons. There were a lot of lessons learned from this production of this project, which we've applied to make other projects go smoother, and that's really all there is to it.
For example, we're no longer announcing projects until we have a firm production plan and an achievable target date. Blockade Billy was announced three weeks before publication. Pork Pie Hat was announced a month before publication. The Secret Backs of Things, Bone Soup, and Four Rode Out were announced the day they were actually in our warehouse, ready to ship. Full Dark, No Stars was announced two months before publication.
We're working hard to catch-up on any remaining projects that are outstanding, and we're making better decisions about when to announce new projects -- and we're making smarter decisions about which projects to undertake. We're still not perfect, but we're going to continue to do everything we can to improve.
Best wishes,

Brian,
I have to say that y'all may not be perfect, but y'all have certainly stepped up your game. Y'all have also gone a long way in repairing the breach between CD and existing collectors. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, and am no boards other than this one, but I believe that is HUGELY due to your active participation in this discussion.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Brian, as long as you are here and don't seem to mind answering questions: What is the status of the third Christopher Snow novel by Dean Koontz? That is a story that was left hanging and some fans (me) would like to see finished. Or is Koontz the rumored author who no longer wants anything to do with CD?
I don't actually know the status of Ride the Storm. I know Dean said he was halfway through the manuscript years ago, but I haven't heard about it since. Dean is so prolific, he could write that (and two other books!) next year for all I know.
Best wishes,

Thanks. Hopefully we'll be able to address any questions, comments, concerns, or rumors more effectively by communicating directly on here. Of course, I am always happy to answer any questions via email or PM if someone would rather ask something outside of the public forum.
We have lots of big news to come in 2011 -- new books and the rest of the catching up -- and I hope there will be a little something for everyone.
Best wishes,

So 'Legacies' is shipping? It will be interesting to see what happens on the secondary market for this book.
For those who missed my post, we added some additional photos of Legacies with the finished traycases, etc:

The book(s) looks amazing. I didn't order one, but I will be interested to see where the market takes the book.
I was unable to order one, but I really hope a gift or trade edition is published. It looks GORGEOUS!

I agree, both editions of LEGACIES look fantastic. Personally I like the look of the Limited Edition even better than the Lettered.
Wish I had a LEGACIES coming!

For those who are interested, we posted a year-end letter thanking our collectors and summarizing what we published in 2010:
"As most of you know, Cemetery Dance has come a long way since Richard Chizmar founded the magazine in his college apartment in 1988, but we're still a small business with only four full-time employees, and we wanted to take a moment to thank all of the customers who supported us this year. Although we shipped more than 65,000 orders between January 1st and today, we still recognized a lot of the customer names on those packing lists and that's always a great feeling.
We thought this might be a good time to look back on the crazy and extremely productive year we had. When all was said and done, we published new books by Stephen King, William Peter Blatty, Peter Straub, Justin Cronin, Norman Partridge, F. Paul Wilson, Brian Keene, Christopher Golden, Ronald Kelly, Simon Clark, Tim Lebbon, Tom Piccirilli, Edward Lee, Rick Hautala, Al Sarrantonio, and many other masters of horror. In fact, we published 35 collectible books in 2010, which makes it one of our most successful years to date!
We started the year by..."

Thanks to all of our collectors who made this such a successful year! We hope you'll like what we have in store for 2011 because, in addition to the rest of the catching up we have to finish, we have some really great surprises.

Cemetery Dance needs more Edward Lee!
Last I heard, "Lucifer's Lottery" (the 4th and final Infernal book) didn't have a publisher for the hardcover. CD did do the first three books in the series... just sayin'!
