After the work if it were opposite day.

HA! Love that.

[Beverly Marsh]

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

Lol! Aha! I THINK I know what you might mean....;) If it is what I'm thinking of then I agree, that is indeed an exciting as all get out bonus!! (not that you hinted or anything....)

[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 ;)


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

I certainly like CD's news better than CNN's ;) Much happier stuff.

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

First rule of CDCC, Bev :)

Amen, brother! Glad I preordered this puppy a few months back :). Said State Secret wasn't even revealed at that time so this has made me all that more stoked for it. :excited: Now it will be interesting to see if my prediction for this book will come to pass. Brian, outstanding job to you and the whole CD gang. Hard to 1 up you guys when ya keep doing it yourselves :).

King is signing this book.

[Brian James Freeman]

King is signing this book.

I wish! :)

Brian

[allasorte]

King is signing this book.

I wish! :)

Brian
King marked it with a thumb print? He breathed on them? Do we get dental records with each purchase? Personally, I'd love an axe with my book :).

[Dan]

I thought King would only sign one for Lot Guy.

Now that would be freakin' cool, but I'd prefer a mallet to stay true to the story. So yea, Brian. We want either mallets or axes, damnit!

Weeds and The Crate as bonus material for Night Shift?!

There is more than enough information from Brian's post to work out what the bonus feature is. Just do your homework :evil:

[Ari_Racing]

Despite the extra content (which I agree it's amazing) it's an incredible news that the book is going to the printer in a month! :)

So...I think it's time to get some news about Night shift! :D

[mikeC]

Got my Salem's Lot yesterday. Beautiful book. Thank you.

[Brian James Freeman]

Looks like some Before The Play bonus material will be included! Sweet.

How cool is it that your artwork is on the order page man??!!!! I would say.... :drool::drool:

[AKC]

Pretty cool!

Now, if Steve wouldn't have bought the Hotel Gift Edition Cover piece out from underneath me.

Damn authors...


P.S. Just kidding of course. Don gave Steve first-right-of-refusal on all pieces which is standard protocol...

[Brian James Freeman]

Cemetery Dance Publications is thrilled to announce our special edition of The Shining by Stephen King, featuring his long lost prologue "Before the Play" restored at the beginning of the novel for the first time anywhere in the world:

Brian, how do you expect this one to sell? Any thoughts?

[Brian James Freeman]

Brian, how do you expect this one to sell? Any thoughts?

Not sure, but it might sell a little faster than 'Salem's Lot given the prologue and the fact that it's almost ready for the printer. The Gift Edition is now 50% sold out and there are around 100 copies of the Numbered Artist Edition left.

[skyofcrack]

Brian, can I assume the word-count on Before the Play is the same as when published in Whispers or is this longer than that as well?

[amd013]

I notice that the Lettered edition is already sold out. Glad I preordered this several months back when I had the chance. Looks like the general public never got an opportunity to buy it, am I correct?

You must be.
When I received the CDCC6 notice yesterday, the lettered was already gone.
I guess they were all spoken for, just like the lettered PS Kingbooks.

[Aronstg]

I agree that I'm pumped this is heading to the printer so soon and I have to get greedy also and state that I can't wait to hear more about Night Shift. I'm really excited to see Mark's artwork. Also looking forward to finding out who the mystery artist is for the last book.

Brian, Do you guys plan on keeping the gift editions at 3000 copies for the rest of the books in the series or will that change based on how well Salem's Lot sold and how well The Shining will sell?

[Brian James Freeman]

I'm really excited about the interior artwork for NIGHT SHIFT. Illustrations for every story by an artist who really "gets" the mood of the book. His sketches have been nicer than some of the finished artwork I've seen people turn in. Here's a sample and please remember it is just an early sketch:

Hi Brian,

Will there be an opportunity to purchase Don Maitz and Glenn Chadbourne remarques for The Shining? :smile:

I'm guessing it's probably ok to say this now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak. I'm betting the lettereds were first offered to the folks who started with Carrie, etc. Then any remaining were probably snatched up by CDCC members when the early bird announcement was made back in December. I ordered my AE on December 3 according to the telltale purchase confirmation.

[CyberGhostface]

Just curious how were you able to acquire the rights to the prologue?

[Aronstg]

Okay.. yeah now I'm really even more excited about Night Shift!

[webstar1000]

I sincerely wish Kings office would agree to a book to cap off the set... doesn't have to be big at all but just tells the stories of how these first books all came to be... have King sign that one.. bring the set together with a nice red bow:) :tongue:

Oh Crap! After reviewing I don't think I do have the Shining Lettered pre-ordered. I was able to preorder the remaining Lettereds because I had ordered the Shinning, but I don't see that in my order list. So I must have gotten that special offer by mistake. Looks like I will have to buy it on the second hand market.

And I was hopping to match letters too. (Letter Y).

Crap! Crap! Crap! :cry::cry::cry:

Oh well, and least I noticed my mistake in time to preorder the gift and artist editions.

[Brian James Freeman]

Just curious how were you able to acquire the rights to the prologue?

I asked if we could include the text as a bonus feature in the book. I emphasized that we didn't mean to restore it at the beginning of the book because I assumed that would definitely be a "no." The reply I received was, "Sure, and why don't you put it back at the beginning where it belongs?" I agreed that was a fine idea.

Not enough Mr. Freeman! :)

Don has only 3 of the original pieces left for sale (as of a few months back).

See Don's thread for pics of the 4 that have been acquired. As mentioned, Steve owns the Gift Edition Cover Art of the Hotel which accounts for the 5th one that has been claimed.

YAAAAAYYYYY, ok, for some reason it doesn't show up in my order page on CD's web site, but I checked my emails (thankfully I delete very little), and found the confirmation email for the order.

Maybe I should contact Mindy to make sure its not lost somehow. (if so hope that doesn't mean my copy was resold)

Good deal, Mike. I'm telling ya. Got to keep all the preorders in their own little folders :).

[allasorte]

Mindy helped me out with an order that isn't in my past order details on CD but I kept the email from September 24th lol. I hate clutter so the itch to delete it has been great. She is a real lifesaver. It was for one of the PS limited editions. I'll have to watch for when PS ships them to remind her about it. It should be fine though.

No problem. It took me a while to find it since there order page on the site shows orders oldest to newest. So the top of the list for me is 2014 and couldn't figure out why I was seeing books I dont remember :lol:

[AstroDad]

if you don't order through the site it won't be in your order list, they have no way of including it when they process the order for you manually. I have had several orders like that and they have all come through just fine when they were supposed to, but I agree that when you forget that you did it through Mindy it can catch you off guard when it isn't in your order history and you have that moment of panic that you thought you ordered it and now it is sold out :panic:

I agree that I'm pumped this is heading to the printer so soon and I have to get greedy also and state that I can't wait to hear more about Night Shift. I'm really excited to see Mark's artwork. Also looking forward to finding out who the mystery artist is for the last book.

Brian, Do you guys plan on keeping the gift editions at 3000 copies for the rest of the books in the series or will that change based on how well Salem's Lot sold and how well The Shining will sell?

The print runs will remain the same for all of the books. :)

I'm really excited about the interior artwork for NIGHT SHIFT. Illustrations for every story by an artist who really "gets" the mood of the book. His sketches have been nicer than some of the finished artwork I've seen people turn in. Here's a sample and please remember it is just an early sketch:

I know it's all about The Shining right now, as well it should be, and I can't wait for it! I'm excited to see what SK writes in his intro, hopefully some Before the Play tidbits.
Personally though, THIS is the book I'm most excited for. I absolutely love Night Shift and seeing this teaser has me in even more of a tizzy. I'm psyched that this book is getting shown the love that it deserves and I know it's going to be a fantastic edition.
The first three in the series I bought the GE's, the last three will be all AE's for me!

I hope you dig how the set looks on your bookshelf if you end up with all of them! We're trying to create a great set of books. Our goal isn't to "top" previous Limited Editions, as I've noted, but we're hoping this will be a real fun and special set of books when all is said and done.

Personally though, THIS is the book I'm most excited for. I absolutely love Night Shift and seeing this teaser has me in even more of a tizzy. I'm psyched that this book is getting shown the love that it deserves and I know it's going to be a fantastic edition.
The first three in the series I bought the GE's, the last three will be all AE's for me!

I am SO in love with the artwork for Night Shift and all I have are "sketches" like the one above. I cannot wait until the book is deep in production and I can really start showing off some finished art.

Brian

I'm looking forward to Night Shift more than any of the others. Those stories were some of the most visceral and frightening things that I had the pleasure of reading in my childhood. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they are interpreted into the artwork, and the above sketch is already a fantastic start!

Have all the Deluxe artist copies of Salems Lot shipped?

+1, except I can't until I "spread some reputation around" (which just sounds wrong unto itself. lol) This is a big childhood favorite for me as well so it has total sentimental value.

[Brian James Freeman]

No, we're still waiting on the traycases, which are now three weeks late arriving. This is the first time this vendor has ever been so late for us, and it's causing a big headache in the warehouse because it's a lot of very big books to store! We should have the first batch of traycases next week, though, and will begin shipping ASAP. Sorry about the wait!

I click the Rep button on your behalf since I apparently have been spreading it around... ha!

Brian

[Brian James Freeman]

I'll see if i can post another sketch from Night Shift if there's interest in seeing more. The book enters the design phase next month, so there's still a lot to do before publication, but I think it's going to be beautiful.

You know, when the Doubledays were announced, I decided I was not going to buy them and focus my collecting elsewhere. And yet somehow, I have Carrie and 'Salem's Lot on my shelf, and I just ordered The Shining. Interesting how that happens...

I hope you dig how the set looks on your bookshelf if you end up with all of them! We're trying to create a great set of books. Our goal isn't to "top" previous Limited Editions, as I've noted, but we're hoping this will be a real fun and special set of books when all is said and done.

Brian

They are gorgeous, Brian. That's why I keep buying them! And I love the art from The Shining. Can't wait to see (and most likely) the rest of them!

[Brian James Freeman]

Hey Brian,

Hey Brian,

We haven't received them yet, so I'll need to drop Pete a line for an update. We haven't talked about those in a while. I can't wait to see them!

Obviously I'm not Brian, lol but the PS newsletter from today said that the introduction was recently approved and they're now waiting for the artist signed sheets. Looks like we have a bit more of a wait for this.

One more sneak peek at a SKETCH for the artwork for NIGHT SHIFT, but please note it is just an early sketch and the perspective or other elements or even the scene selected could change completely for the final artwork:

If the artist didn't work OVER them, I'd love to include both the sketch and the final piece in the Artwork Portfolio, but that's really putting the horse before the cart. Lots to do before then!

Brain is the artist one that CD has worked with or has worked on a King work before, or someone newer to the field? I feel like the style seems familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it. To me the sketches have a bit of an old school horror comic book feel to it.

[St. Troy]

The Stand is still two books away - surely there isn't anything being done yet on that (other than the planning and signing of contracts)?

I bet Stand sells out fastest... my guess anyways:)

I'd agree, Kris. Within 36 hours of public announcement? I predicated 48 for this one (The Shining). Might be close but I think some GEs will still be available beyond that. Not for long though I'd say. The Shining has always been sentimental to me as I'm roughly the same age that Danny would be. I've always felt connected to it in that way. The Stand is my absolute favorite King book so totally stoked for that one. Really looking forward to Pet as well. Such a dark book, can't wait to see the images the artist produce for that one.

That is a little aggressive. I don't think The Shining Gift Editions will sell out for another couple of months. There are still a lot of copies left and I think after that initial rush, things probably slow down. It is nice to see that these books are picking up steam though and hopefully each one will become more popular. I think people have seen what CD has done with Carrie and Salem's Lot and know that the rest of the books in the series will be top notch.

Just got an email from CD saying the gift editions are 77% sold out, lettered sold out and the artist signed ones are 93% sold out. So I got nervous and just ordered the gift edition. Selling out much faster then we both thought.

Mark Stutzman has been a favorite of mine since I saw the cover artwork for Everything's eventual. He's an AMAZING artist and I suggested his name as artist for a S/L a hundred times. I've been in touch with him for several years now (more than ten years already), I met him in 2009 during Under the Dome's event in NYC and a couple of times I sent him contact addresses of publishers so he could send those companies his portfolio and be considered for works. For those that might not know, he did the cover artwork for Everything's Eventual, From a Buick 8, Lisey's Story, Duma Key and Cell (and there's another book but the piece was not used at the end). Very talented artist and wonderful person. And it's a great news that he's the illustrator of Night Shift. King used to say he loved the book and he saw each story as little films. Illustrations for this book will surely be really powerful.

I loved both preliminary works for Night Shift! Please, Brian, post more and (if possible, of course!) a finished work.

I know the artist for The Stand (can't remember if he was officially announced but he's someone many people here know) but we're all still waiting for the artist for Pet Sematary! Brian...yes, that's another favour I (and probably many more) are asking! :)

[Br!an]

I notice that the Lettered edition is already sold out. Glad I preordered this several months back when I had the chance. Looks like the general public never got an opportunity to buy it, am I correct?

You must be.
When I received the CDCC6 notice yesterday, the lettered was already gone.
I guess they were all spoken for, just like the lettered PS Kingbookj.

sk

I'm guessing it's probably ok to say this now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak. I'm betting the lettereds were first offered to the folks who started with Carrie, etc. Then any remaining were probably snatched up by CDCC members when the early bird announcement was made back in December. I ordered my AE on December 3 according to the telltale purchase confirmation.

Well, I'm a CDCC member and I never saw the limited.
Could be I just missed them.

sk

I might be misremembering :orely: but I thought I saw the lettered offered when I received the 'match your number' email. I'm fairly sure it was since my recollection of the price (out of my budget) is correct.

Has anyone ever bought a gift certificate from Cemetery Dance? Do they actually mail you a physical gift card or do they e-mail you a code? I ask because I purchased one on Friday morning and it prompted me to pay for first class shipping on it, which I did, but then in the order confirmation it says that you are supposed to be e-mailed 'certificate redemption information' within 30 minutes, and if you aren't, to respond to the order confirmation e-mail. I didn't realize this until Friday evening and I never received an e-mail with redemption information, so I responded to the order confirmation e-mail, but I haven't heard anything back. I don't know if they're closed on the weekends or something and I just kind of want to know how it normally goes and/or what to expect. I hate not knowing stuff, so any input or advice on the CD gift certificate process would be most appreciated (and will help to quiet my need-to-know OCD:) ).

[Brian861]

Where's Siep when ya need him, lol. He asked a 1000 and 1 questions on this very subject awhile back over on the CD forum. Don't remember him saying anything about the shipping deal though. I do know it's all electronic and I believe the balance info is kept under your account tab.

P.S. Just razzin' ya, Siep if you should read this :). Nothing but love for ya, buddy :huglove:

Yep, it should have been emailed to you at nearly the exact same moment as your order confirmation email, but the system is acting weird lately with subscriptions and Gift Certificates -- saying the shipping option isn't right, etc. Mindy might email you back this weekend, but if not, you should hear from her on Monday with your code! She'll just need to look it up manually in the system. Sorry for the wait!

So, um, sales aren't slowing much for the Slipcased Gift Edition of THE SHINING yet. We might be sending a special Sunday edition of our newsletter tomorrow, just so no one is caught off guard if this edition is gone early in the week.

http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/king11

For historical context, our Slipcased Gift Edition of IT was the exact same number of copies, but that edition was still available to be ordered after the book was published. That clearly will not be the case here.

Brian

[Brian861]

Wow, Brian! I didn't realize that about IT. Get 'em while they're hot folks!

Edit: How far only now, Brian on the GEs being gone out of curiosity?

[Br!an]

They issue electronic gift certificates. You are supposed to receive the gift certificate code in a separate email shortly after your order confirmation email. It doesn't always work. :wtf:

If you don't receive the code then protocol is to email Mindy and she will email your gift certificate. They are closed on the weekend. I have emailed Mindy at 5 pm on Friday and received my certificate by 6 pm. So it isn't like they slough off during the work week. I'm sure you will receive your certificate on Monday.

I created a file to keep track of my certificates and open orders. I recommend that every does the same. If the system issues your gift certificate then there might be a record of it on the CD site. If Mindy finds it for you then you must keep track of it. Also if they issue a refund on a purchase that was bought with a certificate they will issue the refund to that certificate and you must keep track of that too.

You should receive an email with a gift certificate code as soon as you finalize the order. They seem to have a glitch that causes the code to, in some cases, get generated but not always emailed. I have had it happen to me and Mindy sends the code as soon as she gets the email.

Edit: How far out now, Brian on the GEs being gone out of curiosity?

A little more than 2600 of the Gift Edition of THE SHINING have already sold.

Or be the envy of your friends and neighbors and score an official autographed TDT.org postcard. Signed by our own Jerome Smith and his alter ego, the man himself, Randall Flagg. :).
Those are extremely rare. In fact fewer than 5 are known to exist.

Might be a run on acquiring these soon after this post.

Yep, Pete will be getting the same counts as he did for 'Salem's Lot.

Fantastic! With the savings on the shippingcosts ($64,39 for the USA and £6.99 from the UK) I can almost buy another great book! :rock:

Any idea when the order page will be online at PS?

There is a PS Publishing thread I follow on this site. Pete does follow it and answers questions there. He might be able to answer that for you or perhaps some of the guys on there. Personally I do not know, just giving you another option. You could also go to PS Publishing website, book mark it, and sign up for their emails. They send out a news letter that is quite informative every Friday. Good luck!!!

Been reading through this entire thread (yes, from the beginning). I'm not quite to the end yet, but I have some comments:

Dear Cemetery Dance:
A) You are doing God's work; bless you, my children.
B) Please continue to make your books as lavish as you can, and feel free to create (for example) a case with oak double doors with hinges and knobs of brass (for those who don't value the full range of bookporn such as cases, ribbons, silk, foil, cotton, marbled endsheets, etc., there are always paperbacks and Kindle).
C) Please continue to make your books as expensive as you want - in a low-production number business, you have to grab revenues where they exist in order to survive, let alone thrive - and while I can't come close to being able to afford everything, I quite like the fact that those of my fellow bibliohounds (bless them too) who can afford them will pour the necessary funds into your operation, and those books I can't afford are making my world a better place from a distance (I have no lettered It, but I have pictures of it!).
D) Keep up the great work.

Yep, perhaps a bit premature for some of those on there, but soon enough, they will likely be accurate do to market availability.

Mine just arrived in Australia. What a beast this thing is. Can't wait until the AE hits. . :smile:

[AstroDad]

The ones that have ended so far seem to be going for about $200. That's with the natural influx of copies hitting Ebay since it just came out. Will be interesting to see what it does over the next year.

So Brian, did the remarqued Gift editions ship (or are shipping if you are still going) with the other books?

Just noticed the shipping cost for this book internationally. Either this is one very heavy book, or USPS has raised their costs again. $76 to ship a $95 is just too annoying.

Yeah, it drives us all absolutely nuts. We pay the USPS the rate they quote based on the size of the box and the weight and the destination, which is calculated by the website and passed along to the customer. But it is an INSANE amount compared to what people in other countries pay to ship to us.

There's no reasonable explanation other than, the USPS has decided they can raised those Non-US rates as much as they want because what else is the customer going to do? Fed-Ex and UPS are even more expensive and we hear from folks outside the US that UPS tries to charge extra handling fees on their end for handling tariffs, etc. What a mess.

Of course, the actual PEOPLE we work with at the USPS are all awesome! It's not their fault that someone way above them realized that it would be easy to gouge on Non-US shipments!

Until we can jaunt these books right to your house, we're stuck paying... So, um, Victor Carune better get to work!

[ICry4Oy]

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:

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!


I received my replacement book yesterday. It showed up without any problems and is BEAUTIFUL! Many many thanks for Mindy making it right!!!!!

[Brian James Freeman]

The Shining Gift Edition has been taken off the site as we neared 3,000 copies sold! Tomorrow and Thursday, we will manually check all of our counts to confirm exactly how close we are to all copies being reserved. We didn't expect the slipcased Gift Edition to sell this quickly, but our collectors have clearly spoken! Then, this FRIDAY, we will put the product back on the website and send out one more newsletter. Those last copies will be sold FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. No second chances.

Brian,

Gone Girl has been a problem book for me! Mindy shipped 3 copies to me. The funniest thing is the third copy shipped actually turned out to be Salem's Lot. Packing slip said GONE Girl book shipped was salem's lot. First copy had the too tight slipcase. Second book had 20 or 30 bent pages. Third copy was the wrong book. NOT complaining at ALL. I LOVE Salems LOT! Hope to KEEP it!!!!!

MINDY has been very responsive in trying to fix this! She is a KEEPER.

PS. JUST Ordered my 3rd copy of the Shining AE. So many emails. I just felt the need to get another copy!

Well that's unusual. I'm not really sure how that 3rd one could have happened. Gonna guess maybe the order somehow got mixed in with the bulk orders for Salems Lot.

Not yet. We typically wait to ship all the remarques until the very end. This is to avoid getting anything mixed up with the regular books. We only have so many remarques, so we don't want to accidentally send to someone who isn't supposed to get one.

I believe they're in the To Be Shipped section of the warehouse, as soon as Dan makes a little room and gets some 'SALEM'S LOT out of the way!

Too much work to do right now, there will be time to sleep when I'm dead!

Have all the Gift editions sold out?

Have all the Gift editions sold out?

There's a few left, sales slowed after work. I'll probably be pulled the "add to basket" option in the morning, I bet.

[Lot guy]

That's great they've sold so fast!!!!

Any shipping time on The Fifth Heart?

Any shipping time on The Fifth Heart?

I think those are also with the Joe Hill book in the "need to find space and time to ship these, why did we have so much come in at the same time, what were we thinking" section of the warehouse!

Dan will have a better idea on Monday about his actual shipping time frame. :)

Just placed my order! Again, CD knocks another one out of the ball park. =)

[Theli]

Got a GE from CD on order and an AE from PS on order. Really excited about this one.

[AstroDad]

And they are gone :)

Very cool! Congrats CD! Has any King Gift Edition ever sold out this quickly?

I'm not sure about other publishers, but for us, here are some of our fastest sellers:

The Gift Edition of DOCTOR SLEEP sold out exactly one week after it was announced. That was only 1,750 copies, though.

FULL DARK, NO STARS sold out two months after it was announced, and that was also 1,750 copies.

FROM A BUICK 8 was also 1,750 copies and sold out pre-publication, but I don't know the exact time frame because I wasn't here when it was announced (I placed my order from my college apartment!), although I was hired that summer and was working at CD when it arrived in September.

I really enjoyed Stewart O'Nan's guest essay about Pet Sematary posted on Stephen King Revisited today:

My numbered 'Salem's Lot should be waiting for me when I get home tonight. Unfortunately, I will not be home until after 8.

I've got two of them waiting for me to get my lazy butt to the post office to pick up.

Well, you just gave everyone on here a heads-up of where to go look for one if they can get there before 8! :)

LOL, not really. I'm sure my daughter has brought it inside.

I worked hard today and got done early. Just like my dog, I am staring out the window waiting for the mailman to show up. :)

Received my 'SALEM'S LOT AEs today. I've got to say, in all honesty, that this is one of the best-looking books I have ever seen. Brian & Team, kudos on a job Very Well Done.
