It says that the cover art is "Coming Soon", which I take as to mean that it's not done yet.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I too was wondering where you've been! :-)

Hey Kenny!
So, um, any updates from CD? Anyone?

Oh wow - I didn’t even mean to derail the topic!
Thanks so much you guys... I have been super busy with work and just crap in general. You know how that goes. That, coupled with our troubled collectibles market, has kept me away from my game! I was actually embarrassed to come and find that the proofs are out for the new book!
Anyway, all of this time away hasn’t been bad. I have lost about 45 lbs! And I wasn’t "fat" per-say but at 6'4 I am a big boy. Anyway, trimming down and going to the gym a lot... and just being more social...if not with the site.
But things are well - glad to see you all. I do try to come once every day or so but sometimes I don’t have anything useful to add...so... I just read.
Anyway - no more topic diversions, I promise Patrick!!

Welcome back, Kenny. You were missed. Please make it a point to stop in once in a while!
John
no updates whatsoever. They did email and offer me the chance to buy in on the new SOD II. I told them I'd wait for the first version to come before I bought in. I expect they'll be using the proceeds from the II sales to fund the completion of I. I don't know who banks these guys but they must have a pretty high risk tolerance.
Actually, on second thought, if these guys had a decent banking relationship, they would not be "borrowing" customers' money to finance operations.
Zero interest loans (customer prepayments) are a better rate than they'd get from any bank, so there is a financial logic to doing it this way, whatever their banking relationship might be.
The intangible cost is, of course, customer relationships.
(Kenny, no worries, just happy to see you!)

Hey Kenny! Nice to see you pal!
Congratulations on that diet! I'm still working on that

hey guys,just checking my old e-mail and saw i had pre-ordered this book 4 years ago!! should i have invested my $175 wisely and now be buying 1 of those German bootlegs ive always wanted.ha! anybody else pre-order this (in the hope that King signs it-he better after this length of time)? or does anyone have new info.thx,barry.
I also ordered this book. At another site, this (Publisher Cemetary Dance) was a topic of huge debate, most of it frustration. There is no new news as far as I am aware.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
yeah... i have that on my "when it comes out... it comes out list". i didn't specifically order it.... but i get it since i have a lifetime membership.
wouldn't mind finding out an ETA for it though, if one of you guys contact CD and get any info.
btw wiz - i'll be sending you a package soon (within the next week)- it's not sk related...but i think you might enjoy it anyways.
I actually ordered it, to just order it. Is there conformation King is in it? I would assume if they are doing a best of they would, but I never saw it.

ya, i kinda ordered it in the hope that King would scratch his sig on it somewhere but then again i did the the same with the CD #50 Signed/Limited Magazine and look where that got me!!
I cancelled all my outstanding orders with CD about a year ago, including this book. I had ordered some books (i.e. LEGACIES) nearly 10 years ago. So far I have been able to get the CD books I want at or below issue price after they have been released. These include SECRETARY OF DREAMS and the Lonesome Road production of DARK FORCES. Time will tell if my luck holds out but I am much more comfortable buying the books after they come out than letting those guys keep my money for years and years.
And the money bring you some interests while is in your account instead of bringing interests to CD..
(in the case havent been spent on something else of course :p )
10 years ago...good grief...a year ago is when I cancelled my orders, too...if one is a lifetime member like Boome, that's one thing, since it doesn't really matter when anything gets published, since you'll get it - but there's not a good reason to order any individual title from them, unless they someday manage to get their act together.
ya i finally received the CD #50 after a 2 year wait to reveal no King signature then promptly but it on ebay the very next day.i bought it for $75 i think and got $70 back for it.my wife thinks im a fuckin' nutcase.but i think im fine.right guys?right?
Did your wife think you should have kept it?
I probably wouldn't have been so willing to take an immediate loss after such a long wait, but I also don't think it's going to be worth anything special...so I don't think you cost yourself any long term investment potential.
What I most emember about it is CD kept sending emails saying the delays were because they were "unhappy with the binder, etc." and then I finally see a copy of it, and it's just a normal magazine bound in a fake-leather binding with the usual cheezy gold stamping and a lame signature page bound in. Don't get me wrong, I like the effort and I think it's a cool idea - but if you're going to use design and production quality as the excuse for it being late, then this doesn't cut it.
They didn't promise King's signature, which was another reason I cancelled...I figured if he'd signed it, a rumor would have floated around eventually.
