That was a great idea for Blockade Billy Brian. I did the same thing for the Remarqued copy I am snagging

oops, they sent the slipcase instead of the traycase lol. emailed Mindy. Dern interns! :Ball Kick:

:wink:

:lol:, it happens. Plus I think they are crazy busy at the moment with all the members taking advantage of all the sales of late. Both for the GP and CDCC. Then add in the troubles (Haven reference there :))with Gone Girl and 'Salem's Lot looming on the horizon. Poor intern/s walked into a shit storm :panic:

My Gone Girl came today as well and although it is somewhat tight, it isn't bad enough I am worried about it, so it evens out for me :)

I just opened my Gone Girl. It's a beautiful book. Mine is snug. With a Brodart cover it would be tight.

Gillian did a nice job of signing. It took her a while to sign the signature sheets but perhaps that's what it takes to do a beautiful job of it.

[Brian James Freeman]

Very nice to walk into the warehouse and see a table full of these beautiful books:

Just FYI, our S&S sales rep tells us the Bill Hodges Trilogy Box Set has been pushed back to the end of June or early July. We'll post when we hear more.

Also, here's a tiny little tease for those who bought the Bill Hodges Trilogy Box Set through our online store... this is a small part of the art print you'll be receiving with your shipment:

I tried to reply to someone's Private Message but his inbox is full, so I'll just post it here as a general FYI! :)

If you're a member of the CDCC who ordered a Gift Certificate with your 50% off discount code, and you did NOT receive your Gift Certificate code in your email, please reply to your order confirmation email(s) because Mindy can look up the codes for you! Every now and then the site doesn't send the second email when it sees someone has used a coupon code on a certificate, I have NO idea why. But your code was created and we just need to look it up for you. Thank you!

Mindy said there was an issue if you paid with PP. I had to email her and ask for my code, which she promptly sent (as usual).

A beautiful book and one of 1000 signed by Robin to boot!!!

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

[Brian861]

Nothing against you personally, Bev because you know I dig ya and all :). But said friend should have stated in his email, "Don't say anything, but.....". Also, apologize for being an ass if that's the case but I don't get what's so hard to comprehend about CD's statement
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION ANYWHERE BECAUSE IT IS NOT FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC YET!. Makes one wonder how often coupon codes get compromised as well.

Since they'll be shipping at different times, we'll have to come up with something to prevent overlapping remarques, but we'll wait until everyone has their books before we email with what that system is since we're still figuring it out!

Last I heard, March. Looking at my calendar, we are getting close to May.

[Brian James Freeman]

Any update on Salem's Lot?

Here is the update from the end of March, a new one will go out soon:

First, ALL EDITIONS of this book have now SOLD OUT pre-publication, which is great news for our collectors!

Next, the slipcases have been shipped to our printer, so the Gift Editions are being slipcased and shrinkwrapped right now, a process that should take about 10 business days to complete. We expect to have the Gift Edition in our warehouse and shipping in April. We're waiting on the final approval of the traycase for the Numbered Artist Edition to confirm the shipping date for that edition, but the actual books are done now, so we just need the traycases to ship the orders!

[Brian James Freeman]

This should be shipping soon no? Correct me if I am wrong but were we not suppose to have this last fall originally?

That was the plan, but the files from the trade publisher were an absolutely disaster to work with, so we ended up scanning an early printing and then cleaning it up line by line. Fun stuff. I think you'll find this edition to be worth the wait, though. It's beautiful! :)

Hi Brian,

Now that the actual books for the Salem's Lot gift and artist editions are complete, are you able to share some photos of any of the remarque sheets that Glenn Chadbourne and David Palumbo have created for it?

I'm sure everyone here would love to see a sample of what stunning artwork these remarque sheets contain; and knowing Glenn and David, these remarque sheets are going to be EPIC!!! :excited: :excited:

Anyone get their notification for Bazraar of Bad Dreams? Just came today! Wanted to add the slipcase, black, is great. Also, they are a tad wider then normal. So a true Mylar wrap with paper and plastic will fit nicely inside it. Thanks again CD!!! This better not be a secret hush hush thing I mentioned...............

I'm glad you like them. We're pretty happy with how they turned out. For anyone who hasn't gotten a notice yet, I'd say we're probably 75% of the way through shipping the slipcases that come with books. We should be done those on Monday, then we have the orders with just the slipcases, and then some remarques. I'd say if all goes according to plan these should all be out the door mid next week.

Anyone get their notification for Bazraar of Bad Dreams? Just came today! Wanted to add the slipcase, black, is great. Also, they are a tad wider then normal. So a true Mylar wrap with paper and plastic will fit nicely inside it. Thanks again CD!!! This better not be a secret hush hush thing I mentioned...............

We're trying to hedge just a little bigger from here on out for those who use covers to protect their DJs!

To Brian/Dan
Regarding CD #74/75, since it does not say otherwise, is it safe to assume the Limited will be based on the total number ordered? Does this also mean that the order period may be a bit longer than usual? I really thnk I want this, but need to wait a week or so to order.

Unless you think I should not wait.

I guess it's safe to sell blood 3 times in one week.......

Hi Brian,

Now that the actual books for the Salem's Lot gift and artist editions are complete, are you able to share some photos of any of the remarque sheets that Glenn Chadbourne and David Palumbo have created for it?

I'm sure everyone here would love to see a sample of what stunning artwork these remarque sheets contain; and knowing Glenn and David, these remarque sheets are going to be EPIC!!! :excited: :excited:

Oops, sorry, I missed this! The actual books are still at the printer, being packed for shipping. There will be 20 pallets worth of books, basically a full truck load, and we have room for about... 18 of them, I think Dan said. :) The traycases will add even more pallets to the mix, so our warehouse will be a VERY tight fit for a while. Good thing all of these are going right back out the door!

I didn't think to photograph or scan the remarques when they were at the office, but Dan or I will try to snap a few shots if we can when the books get here. Thanks!

Brian

Hey CD guys!
I went ahead and ordered the CD 74/75 Joe Hill Special (the first step is to admit you have a problem) and was still kinda wondering if you knew yet what the limitation number was going to be.

Thanks!

[Brian861]

If there's any interest in CD mags #8-current with slipcases, PM me. Not sure how to grade mags but most are NF I'd say with the exception #22 which has a pretty good size hole in the front cover. I'm looking to sell the whole lot to one buyer if possible. If not, I'll break 'em up. Thanks!

[Pasiuk57]

Does anyone out there have a Cemetery Dance Magazine #6 which is volume 2 number 4?
Looking for that issue...

[amd013]

Nice! Just got a shipping notice for something I totally forgot that I was getting (SWAG for joining CDCC6). Had to go through a lot of old emails to figure out why I was getting it.

[Brian861]

Got my notice for the BOBD slipcase but no notice yet on the SWAG. I'm sure it's forthcoming though :).

[dnemec]

Two shipping notices in one day! I wonder which one will win?!

Of course, now we must have the obligatory: "I ordered this months ago, honey" conversation. :cool:

Not my better half but my mother was asking what did I order from Cemetery Dance? She had no idea what the company was and to be honest, I didn't know what the book was either until I opened it. Ordering way in advance is always nice. It's like Christmas 4-8 months later :).

Brian. The slow kid here just noticed that you guys had a butterfly placed on the spine of the slipcase rather than the bird that's on the DJ. Was this intentional or did I just start a possible feeding frenzy :excited: for a variant DJ with a butterfly on the spine that you guys based this design off of?

Intentional in the sense that when the case was designed we had only seen the cover of the book and not the actual book. Typically by the time the book is out the design process is finished already and we just need the book for sizing.

[stroppygoblin]

Sorry if the info I'm about to ask for is readily available but I'm out and wanted to know what the size of CDs upcoming slipcased Salems Lot is expected to be vs their edition of IT?

It's listed by CD as 7" x 10" which is the same as IT, but no thickness is mentioned. Looking at the photos posted on CD's site where it shows a spine comparison against the original 1st edition 'salem's I would say it is about ~20% thinner than IT.

I don't have an exact measurement, but it is thinner than IT, but not by a lot. I would say it's probably either the 2nd or 3rd thickest book we've ever produced. Up there with Dark Forces and IT.

You're gonna have a little while to wait, and I can't really give you an estimate yet. Retailers are typically handled at the end of the shipping process due to the nature of their orders. Especially in this instance as most of our retailers get copies of both editions, and right now we're only working on the gift editions.

Just curious, the last couple of orders I have used gift certificates. I notice that I end up paying the shipping with my credit card. Is that intentional, or should the shipping come out of the gift certificate as well.

From the CD website:

"Gift Certificates cannot be applied to eBay orders, items we're selling on consignment, and shipping/postage charges."

Hope I'm allowed to jump in: the gift certificates do not cover shipping, just the price of the book(s).

While on the subject of Gift Certificates, I have never used only a portion of one. I don't see a place on the site to house gift certificates under your account, or check the balances.

I believe Jill did them directly in the book. But you won't have to wait for the book to go to her. I believe we had the remarques for the lettered editions done at the same time as for the limited editions.

My book showed up today - damaged :(


Already emailed Mindy and she has already taken steps to make it right! Gotta love her and CD!


https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7266/26820288515_9c3e4e8f50_k.jpg

[DanHocker]

Unbelievable. I even ordered extra large boxes to keep stuff like this from happening. Gotta love the USPS.

[Br!an]

I think that CD packages their books fairly well. I have a hard time recalling ever receiving a damaged book from CD. (I think it might have happened once and they immediately took care of it.) Certainly not one with so much damage.

The stress point on almost every damaged book I've ever received was on a corner. Heavy books are especially prone to corner damage. I like the bubble wrap envelope CD uses but adding a little more bubble wrap would go a long way. Packing peanuts won't prevent a crushed corner. A snugly packed bubble wrapped book won't crush as easily. Also the box, especially a larger box, can be stiffened by adding a cardboard insert.

[Brian861]

My book showed up today - damaged :( Already emailed Mindy and she has already taken steps to make it right! Gotta love her and CD!

Just curious. Was the outside of the box severely damaged? That looks like it took quite a hit. My Carrie GE arrived damaged almost in the same exact matter and on the same corner. But the outside of the box was pristine. To this day I wonder if it was shipped damaged or is it possible to take that amount of damage without damaging the box itself :orely:

[Brian861]

Well, I told myself I was going to reduce my collection and refocus my efforts on what my goals really are. I'm still telling myself that now as I've taken up CD on their last 3 CDCC announcements. But hey, I saved on shipping cost, right? :unsure:

[Beverly Marsh]

Lol, I know what you mean Brian. I was shaking my head as I was hitting that durned Paypal button yet again yesterday. Shaking it while smiling though :)

Also received my Salem's shipping notice! I have yet to get a damaged book from CD(knock on wood)like above but it's good to know that they take care of things like that if it ever happens!

[AstroDad]

How does CD (or any publisher) resolve damaged books when the book as an original Remarque tipped in? Do they actually rebind another book?

The box only showed normal handling and no hint of what happened to the book. It was packed tightly and the book was still centered in the box. You're probably right about it having been shipped damaged???

My one and only issue was when I had it shipped at the USPS media rate. Since then, I always used UPS without incident. With the CDCC discount, it pretty much makes shipping free. Seeing how the books come shipped to CD on pallets; I'd say the books on the corners of said pallets would be subject to the type of damage in your photograph.

FORNIT SOME FORNUS

[DanHocker]

Lol, I know what you mean Brian. I was shaking my head as I was hitting that durned Paypal button yet again yesterday. Shaking it while smiling though :)

Also received my Salem's shipping notice! I have yet to get a damaged book from CD(knock on wood)like above but it's good to know that they take care of things like that if it ever happens!


The box only showed normal handling and no hint of what happened to the book. It was packed tightly and the book was still centered in the box. You're probably right about it having been shipped damaged???
.....also must mention this has been the very first time I've received a damaged book from CD----out of dozens of previous orders that ain't bad!

My one and only issue was when I had it shipped at the USPS media rate. Since then, I always used UPS without incident. With the CDCC discount, it pretty much makes shipping free. Seeing how the books come shipped to CD on pallets; I'd say the books on the corners of said pallets would be subject to the type of damage in your photograph.

Sometimes they are. Though we are typically very careful about checking for damages.

Looks awesome!!

Love it. I will say I hope the traycases from here on out are not black. I loved that the Carrie traycase was burgundy and hoped that meant the rest of the series would various colors as well.

There will be different colors. It all hinges on the artwork for the cover. Black was our best option for this one based on the available colors for the materials. I think, when all is said and done, the variety will look very nice on the shelf!

Looks brilliant. Loving the font used too which often I find is a let down on trade editions. Nice to see how this is shaping up.

Okay Mr. Brian Freeman every single time I do a Google search for the NOS4A2 promo Christmas card guess whose name is the very first one I see? :tongue1: If you ever decide you want to sell it give me a shout. In fact, I think you're running out of room in the warehouse and you NEED to sell it ;)

Ha, I had no idea! I actually promised it to someone a while back, and now I'm having trouble finding it! I need to search my desk at the office again tomorrow!

All I have for that so far is the binding approval from our hand-binder, but here that is!

Edited to add: it doesn't show up well in this photo, but that is white leather on the spine and an imported blue cloth on the boards.

WOW!!! That looks absolutely SUPERB!!! I'm loving the white leather spine, it goes really well with the Marston House motif on the front!! :drool: :drool:

Congratulations, Brian on yet another masterpiece!!! Truly AWESOME!!!! :clap::clap::clap:

First time seeing this. Awesome production!

[Brian James Freeman]

Since this one will be headed to the printer in about six weeks, I guess it's okay for me to show off some quick photos of the interoffice proof and the official review copy now:

Great artwork! Though the font used for The Shining matches terrible with the artwork, to be honest.

These are just the proofs. I don't think they are supposed to represent the final production of the book at all.

For the review copy (bottom photo!), it is pretty close to the final design -- but of course it is not a great photo of the beautiful art Don painted. :)

Brian

[jsweet]

Nice ... very glad I went ahead and bought the set way back when so I don't have to worry about paying for it now :)

[webstar1000]

Brian any idea of price for the various editions?

[Brian James Freeman]

Brian any idea of price for the various editions?

Let me look into my crystal ball here... ah, yes, it's becoming clearer now... there we are... the spirit world has sent me these prices from the great beyond!

Slipcased Hardcover Gift Edition ($95)
Traycased Artist Edition Signed by the Artist ($275)
Deluxe Traycased Artist Lettered Edition Signed by the Artist ($1250)

[Brian James Freeman]

I am really jazzed about the big bonus feature for THE SHINING... It was something I had really hoped we would be able to get when we made the deal for this set, and I think it will make collectors and general readers very happy (and maybe even a little intrigued about the book that MIGHT have been)...

The official announcement will be made this week, so stay tuned! :)

Brian

[Ben Mears]

The Shining looks like another winner.

[darkseer]

Great Looking book :thumbsup:

[CyberGhostface]

Salem's Lot came in for me today, it was a pleasant surprise. :)

[Dano]

I'm so excited for THE SHINING... really love the idea of having the same # for all the books!!! It satisfies my OCD!!!

Speaking of Portfolios, Brian is there a date that these will ship out? Also just curious how you are going to package them. I know that when we got Carrie a lot of them were damaged and the new folders were sent only partially folded. Have you guys figured out the logistics of how to ship something so fragile without any damage?

[dnemec]

Got my Salem's Lot yesterday! A beautiful book, but I wanted to share that mine came without a shipping notification. It hardly matters to me (In fact, it makes it more exciting! What's in the box?!), but for those of you still waiting, I wanted to share!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

What was mentioned in today's CDCC email, will definitely "Rock the collecting world" when it's officially announced.... :excited: :rock::clap:

Big time, it certainly convinced me reconsider how many I want lol

[Beverly Marsh]

Put up or shut up you two! :tongue1::lol:

I know members of 'the club" can't spill state secrets but someone has to give ya a liiiittle hell for the teasing ;)

Excited to find out what you guys are referring to! Sounds rightly intriguing.....

[Brian James Freeman]

Put up or shut up you two! :tongue1::lol:

HA! The official announcement will be out the door within the next 24 hours, so it's probably safe for me to say what is being referenced above is easily my favorite "bonus feature" we've ever gotten for a book. It's not often that you get to restore a classic, groundbreaking work to the author's original vision... (Did I say too much there?)

Also, THE SHINING will be headed to the printer in June. :)

Brian

[webstar1000]

Come on Brian!!!

Then it's a perfect reason to join the CDCC - you get sent the juiciest news straight to your inbox....

Forget CNN. Wolf Blitzer has nothing on the news that the CDCC can deliver! :P
