The Wind Through the Keyhole-Collecting Discussion

[Room 217 Caretaker]

According to the Grant newsletter today, they might have one or two left over...but over 150 postcards in the hat if a second drawing happens.

I saw that, too...Hey who knows? It could be like a Wonka ticket? If I get to buy a copy I'll be sure to invite everyone over to read it with my cat

Your cat reads?

Not yet but I'm trying to teach her! How can you get a cat to shred only school papers on command??

Draw a mouse on it

[jhanic]

I don't think the excuse "The cat shredded my homework" would work, just as "The dog ate my homework" wouldn't work.

Haha. Well-done, sir! I just can't decide if she should thread my dissertation or my students' papers? Maybe just my loans?

You're right - it doesn't. Believe me I've heard some absolutely horrible lies from students!!

This is a great deal! Would that I had $475 more than I have! Someone please snatch this up so I can sleep tonight!!! What's the emoticon for Books Have Made Me And Ruined Me?

[Dan]

For all you completest out there. The Large Print version of TWTTK is out. TWTTK Large Print Edition

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks Dan, I ordered one!

[Patrick]

The Large Print editions are what make me most happy that I am not a completist.

[jhanic]

I'm not THAT much of a completist either.

John

[Jimimck]

LOL maybe I'll buy them when I'm in my sixties and having trouble reading.

Bill, you got them yet? ;-)

Well, that's a nice artwork of the paperback of TWTTK that will be released by Gallery Books on November 6th this year!

[Ricky]

I love that cover! I didn't think anything could look better than the Scribner edition, but wow. It's tempting to buy it just for the cover.

[jhanic]

I'll probably get a copy also. I really like that cover also. I wonder if it's available somewhere without the writing.

John

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That'll look great next to my LARGE PRINT editions (Amazon.com accidentally sent me two of them).

[thefader]

I saw that there are more artist editons listed on the grant website? This website is impossibly difficult to navigate... but are these a different version? They are listed for 75$...

[Robert Fulman]

Not exactly sure what you mean by "more", but I'll take a shot: the Artist Edition has a print run of 5,000 copies at $75, and will likely not sell out for a very long time. A few days ago, Grant offered "remarqued" copies of the artist edition (with an original drawing by Jae Lee inside) for several hundred dollars more. Those are all gone.

[thefader]

I tried ordering one a few weeks ago, and remember seeing that all editions were sold out. Like the little sisters of eluria. I resorted to getting one on eBay. Its just kind of a bummer.

[mistercrowley]

They aren't sold out at all. If you go to the website and add it to your cart you can buy one.

Part of me wonders what this is about, and another part of me thinks he knows exactly what this is about.

[bdwyer19]

Whoa! What's the story here??? If Karen quit, that's one thing, but the email sounds pretty harsh.

As of 15 October, 2012, Karen J. French is no longer employed
by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. She in no way speaks for or
represents the company.

Thank you.

Reading the two emails together, it does seem rather damning.

[Merlin1958]

Reading the two emails together, it does seem rather damning.

I am sure that if Karen has left DMG she did nothing untoward. She may be a Red Sux fan, but otherwise she is a good person and would never delve into anything remotely seedy. Nothing but the best of luck to you, Karen!!!
