[Brian James Freeman]

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

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.

Nuts! I was picturing a "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" style race of SK collectors to your house!

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I haven't seen it in years and am not sure how it would hold up today but I remember laughing so hard for so long in the theater I was starting to have pain in my side.

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.

Nice!! These are arriving quickly. Mine hasn't shipped yet but I'm looking forward into getting it in my hands. These are great books.

[ICry4Oy]

They are quite stunning!!!

I can't wait to see some of the Palumbo remarques!

[Dan]

And I met my family for dinner. Asked if she brought in any packages. Of course she said "no". If anyone wants my address send me a PM. You have 3 hours to beat me home.

Quick jump over the pond! At least tell me it matches the rest of my set. If so, I'll let you know when I go on vacation if you want to get the rest.

Wow! Love it! Certainly a great production. Also opened a package from Sub Press with the signed trade edition of Freedom of the Mask. And anther with a mint signed ARC of The City of Mirrors. A great day!

I need to keep back track of all my CD orders. Just got a shipping notification for a book that I thought I was still debating on buying. Apparently I already decided - last October!

So your traycase maker can finish up The Twelve anytime :)

Also looking forward to ordering the LE of City of Mirrors!

This is going to be one hell of a year from CD. Instead of a bigger boat I'm gonna need bigger shelves! The emails just keep coming, it feels like Christmas in the summer! Not that I want my life to fly by because that means I'm a year older(but none the wiser) but I'm really excited for next year as well!!!

[Lurker]

So, should I be worried I haven't gotten a mailing notice on Salem's Lot? I ordered the AE and GE no remarques.

Whats odd is I ordered two copies. Mindy confirmed two copies and they shipped only one. I think shipping is still on going for the AE edition. I would be worried about the GE edition!

Nope no need to worry. We've probably only shipped 200 copies of the AE. We only received a partial shipment on the traycases so we shipped what we could. The rest of the traycases arrived today, so the rest of the AE's will be shipping soon. If you ordered a AE and a Gift edition on the same order they will be shipping together a towards the end of the process. I would expect we should be done with all the AE's, Gift Editions, and remarqued copies by the end of next week.

Thanks.

I thought so. Thanks Brian! I couldn't find my order email to check :)

Guess I missed the opportunity to order another slipcase for The Fireman? Do you think there will be any extras after all the orders are shipped Brian?

We're ordering approximately 25 extras to account for damages, so I'm sure there will be a few!

If they decided to do one I know that I would purchase one. I'm guessing after this last book tour that a lot of people will find themselves with signed NOS4A2 copies that they want slipcased. Id love one for my US and UK copies.

Hey Aron,
If CD doesn't end up doing one I had Jeff make me one for both my US and UK editions and they came out great. I'm going to have him do one for Small World as well if CD doesn't end up doing one.

[Beverly Marsh]

Fingers crossed!!!!

If you're referring to the latest awesome thing, same here!!!

I presume that CDCC got first crack at these, which is their privilege, but hope that I got in early enough. I'll worry about paying the rent after I get that confirmation email. :) I got my reply in to CD 12 minutes after they sent.

[Beverly Marsh]

Got both!!!

[Theli]

22 minutes for me...

[TCCBodhi]

OK, Top Ramen and Tap water to drink for me for the next 5 months, but got both! I'm rather excited as this will be my very first (and possibly only Maitz) art that I'll own. (I expect we all know what it is now, and it wasn't marked secret anyway.)

Congratulations to everyone else that got the remarques they wanted, and commiserations if you missed the strangely timed email.

I was away from my computer at precisely the wrong time.

I passed on the art, remarque, etc. I spent enough on The Shining with the artist, gift, and folio. Besides, in a sense, I hopefully helped someone else out who wanted one by not taking one. :)

The offers in which you guys speak up was offered to all that pre-ordered a copy. Which is pretty much to everyone who ordered considering it's sold out at CD anyway. Good luck all you fiending little collecting addicts!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

To everyone who has already received confirmation from Mindy, how long did you guys have to wait before getting a reply?

I'm watching my inbox like a hawk and it's agonizing!!!! :onfire:

[AstroDad]

I gave a gift certificate number to pay with and Mindy replied that they would not accept Gift Certificates for this and to respond ASAP with a credit card.

I re-read the initial email and although it references Paypal and credit card, there is no indication you cannot use a GC

I checked the site:


These Cemetery Dance Gift Certificates are good for essentially any book, magazine, work of art, or other collectible we sell in our online store including books from other publishers, special offers like our famous Grab Bags, and even books by authors such as Stephen King, Peter Straub, William Peter Blatty, Justin Cronin, and many others!

Gift Certificates cannot be used to purchase a Gift Certificate. If you use a Gift Certificate to purchase a Gift Certificate, the new code will NOT be issued by the system and you will receive NO Gift Certificate code. Due to the manual work involved to fix the transaction, we will have to charge you a 25% restocking fee on the refund to your original certificate.

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

Nothing there either (although it does say you CAN use them to purchase artwork and special offers).

Is this a known thing before this time? Did I overlook it somewhere? If I did, then mea culpa, but if I end up missing out because I did not respond with a credit card (which I was not planning to have to use, that is why I got the GCs) quickly enough, I will be highly pissed off.

[AstroDad]

I responded about 28 minutes after I got the email, and she replied asking for a CC instead of a GC an hour and 20 minutes later.

Keep in mind it is after 6pm there, she may have gone home for the night. Not sure if she stays when things like this are going on until it slows?

[Tommy]

I knew you couldn't use GCs for remarques simply because I tried in the past.

These remarques are a relatively new thing they have been offering (in the last couple of years) I think it makes perfect sense that you can't use the GC for this because it isn't their product they are selling. I'm assuming they are forwarding that remarque money to the artists. It doesn't look like they really mark up the remarque costs so I am assuming most of that goes back to the artist. Probably more of a courtesy to the artists and meeting the demands/wishes of their customers.

I doubt that Maitz is accepting CD GC for payment. :)

[AstroDad]

That makes sense and I would be fine with that if it had been made clear at some point that they would not take them. When I bought the GCs earlier this year I specifically tallied up the various things I wanted to purchase and factored in remarques for the Doubleday series since they basically said you could use them for special offers, artwork, etc. I never considered I wouldn't be able to use them for remarques and they should really update the page to reflect that.

Hopefully it all works out, they have always been fair in the past and I know they aren't trying to be shady or anything. It is just the concern that I might not get the Maitz Remarque and I was really excited about getting one from him above any of the other artists I am aware of so far. :pullhair:

I'm more calm now lol :innocent:

[Theli]

Got the Maitz, took less than hour for Mindy to get back to me with the confirmation. Great lady if I do say so myself!

[AstroDad]

Did she just reply or was it earlier? Just trying to determine if she is still working through them or may have left

[Theli]

I got the response about 2 hours ago now. Got my fingers crossed for ya.

Book collecting seriously screws with everyone's sleep schedules and anxiety levels. I've become hypervigilant everytime I open my hotmail!

[Dan]

I had a hell of a time putting a Brodart cover on the numbered 'Salem's Lot. I believe it's because of the texture of the dust jacket. Super happy with the way it looks in my bookcase.

[Brian James Freeman]

That is totally my F-up, sorry! It should have been stated in the email, but apparently I forgot in the last one, too, so when I cloned that as my starting point, I forgot again.

The reason we cannot accept Gift Certificates is because most of the money goes to the artist for the artwork and to the printer because the hand-tipping is costly -- they literally stop the line of books in production and someone inserts the sheet where it goes. If they don't do it right, the sheet is mangled and cannot be saved. So we pay dearly to get this done RIGHT, but the final result is worth it -- in my opinion, at least! We do keep some of the fee to cover transactions costs and similar things, the time Mindy puts into manually adjusting 150 orders, the time the warehouse staff spends sorting the books, etc.

But trust me... if we were smart, we wouldn't sell these! Ha! I know what the accountant thinks of the final number! But we really love them and some of collectors really love them, so... here we are again, doing something the accountant says we shouldn't. :)

AstroDad, if you miss out on what you wanted because of my mistake, just let me know. You can have my remarqued set.

Best,
Brian

All is good Brian, Mindy is working her ass off as usual and replied tonight afterall...I thought for sure she had gone home for the night! I still got in on it :)

The reasoning makes perfect sense and if I had ever stopped to consider it I likely would have asked ahead of time. In the heat of the moment I was surely overreacting lol

I don't know if you guys realize those emails produce a lot of excitement, but also a lot of anxiety! :emot-roflolmao:

I had no issues either putting the cover on or fitting the covered book in the slipcase. I want to say Brian mentioned previously they tried to take brodart into account with this one and going forward

I'm watching my inbox like a hawk and it's agonizing!!!! :onfire:

I first sent Mindy the wrong info. Instead of my order number, I sent the number of my AE.
Then, about five minutes later, I noticed my mistake and in another e-mail I sent just the order number.
About five minutes later again Mindy contacted me and requested one message from me with all of the correct information.
Which I of course sent instantly.
And then I went to bed...

This morning, a couple of minutes ago, the PayPal invoice Mindy sent was in my in-box.
So, I'm in. For both remarques.
Whew....

I think Order Reply accuracy would probably be helped if it was first just a simple "I'm in." reply, followed by a more sedately prepared Order #, Which edition & Payment method. (Just Kidding) I was so feverishly running around trying to find that Order # that I just about chewed all of my fingernails off!

There's probably no way to make this idiot & anxiety proof, but am thankful that CD goes through the trouble of these additional features!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Just woke up after having only 4 hours sleep.... Nothing in my inbox!!! :o

I guess I missed out.... :cry:

[TCCBodhi]

Not necessarily, you may just have to wait until Mindy's back in the office, she may have been just finishing up a few In Process orders. Until she says that you're out of luck, I wouldn't count yourself out. We're pulling for you!

That does suck. Especially when you're trying to save some major coin on shipping cost.

[Jimimck]

Thems the breaks I guess. No worries though team. Good luck to you all who ordered!

Look forward to seeing some of these when they show up in collectors hands.

[wizardsrainbow]

This is a complaint, of sorts. I think I do a nice business with CD and they do treat me (Betts) well, but I'm a bit mystified over Salem's Lot distribution. I have a new contact there who tells me that CD policy is to ship all the individual/people orders first and retailers get shipped last...I am starting to see Salem's Lot deluxe copies on eBay and I have not even received my order of Gift editions yet. It could be weeks before I see my copies and I have customers who want the same # as the Carrie they got from me asking me every couple of days if I got my copies yet. All I can tell them is that CD is still shipping to individuals and I'll be among the last to receive copies.

[Randall Flagg]

IF CD shipped the other way around, people would be receiving heir orders from 3rd parties before loyal individual customers received them from CD.

[webstar1000]

I am not sure though RF... would not the time it takes for David to get his, re-pack or re-label and send be give or take.. the same time? I am not sure he should be last.. that is for sure.... he also is a loyal customer of CD as he stated AND has his own loyal customers to take care of. I am sure there is a compromise here for sure though:)

It could be weeks before I see my copies and I have customers who want the same # as the Carrie they got from me asking me every couple of days if I got my copies yet. All I can tell them is that CD is still shipping to individuals and I'll be among the last to receive copies.

Hi David,

I'm sorry you are upset. This is how we've always handled retailer and distributor orders. On top of that we always ship orders for individual copies first, so even if we didn't hold retailers and distributors until the end their orders would still end up at the end of the shipping process anyways. The single copy orders ship first so we can assembly line the shipping process and get them out the door as fast as possible. This is nothing new, this is how we have always handled retailer and distributor orders.

[carlosdetweiller]

Everyone wants to be first in the shipping pecking order. Just human nature, I think. I still haven't received any of my 'Salem's Lot books and it looks like I will be last to receive my copy of The Shining from The Folio Society. I know I was last to receive my lettered copy of Thinner from PS Publishing. People do the best they can it is just the way it is sometimes.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I still haven't received a reply from Mindy yet.... :o

I had sent the email request for both remarques, last night at 10:45pm GMT (5:45pm EST). I'm seriously starting to panic now!!! :panic::panic::panic:

[jonp]

I still haven't received a reply from Mindy yet.... :o

Same here. I sent a return email 7 mins after I received the offer and I haven't heard back yet either.:cry:

I'm only concerned because two emails i've sent this week haven't be received by another bookstore.

[EXPLORER]

both Shining editions also now at PS: http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/the-shining-the-deluxe-special-edition-by-stephen-king-cemetery-dance-3946-p.asp

Not overly impressed by the artwork shown (particularly the Danny Torrence) but it is The Shining.
FYI, Maitz used Lot Guy's (Matt) son for the Danny image. Matt took his son to Maitz and Don spent quite a bit of time gathering some pics to get the image right (in his mind).

THAT is a GOOD STORY... However.... might want to check the facts.
I tried to hook them up however Don used a neighbors son he spotted at a community bonfire.
Matt's son would have been a great option if we could have arranged it. Timing just did not work out.

[richardsrarebooks]

Got my notice from Mindy (for the Maitz remarque) at 9:47am (central time) and paid at 9:53am. Didn't think I would be in time as I didn't respond to the initial email for around 45 minutes. CD is the best!

received my initial notice at 2:47pm (central time). Glad I'm one of the "lucky 50!"

[Theli]

Sorry to all the folk that missed out. I hope you'll be able to get a remarque done after the fact.

[webstar1000]

Sorry to all the folk that missed out. I hope you'll be able to get a remarque done after the fact.

I think the reason only 50 is being done.. is cause Don has a lot on his plate. Maybe in time but not anytime soon:(

[Tommy]

Is this a known thing before this time? Did I overlook it somewhere? If I did, then mea culpa, but if I end up missing out because I did not respond with a credit card (which I was not planning to have to use, that is why I got the GCs) quickly enough, I will be highly pissed off.

That is totally my F-up, sorry! It should have been stated in the email, but apparently I forgot in the last one, too, so when I cloned that as my starting point, I forgot again.

The reason we cannot accept Gift Certificates is because most of the money goes to the artist for the artwork and to the printer because the hand-tipping is costly -- they literally stop the line of books in production and someone inserts the sheet where it goes. If they don't do it right, the sheet is mangled and cannot be saved. So we pay dearly to get this done RIGHT, but the final result is worth it -- in my opinion, at least! We do keep some of the fee to cover transactions costs and similar things, the time Mindy puts into manually adjusting 150 orders, the time the warehouse staff spends sorting the books, etc.

But trust me... if we were smart, we wouldn't sell these! Ha! I know what the accountant thinks of the final number! But we really love them and some of collectors really love them, so... here we are again, doing something the accountant says we shouldn't. :)

AstroDad, if you miss out on what you wanted because of my mistake, just let me know. You can have my remarqued set.

Best,
Brian

It is very cool that you do offer these Brian. Especially since it seems to be a bit of headache for y'all. Please know that the offer is greatly appreciated even if I don't snag one! Thanks!

[St. Troy]

A bit random, but just want to say that I think it's great that CD keeps product description pages active for OOP titles; it's really great to be able to look at all of these in full detail. It's a great book lover-friendly thing to do. :thumbsup:

I'd dearly love to see the original info for the dozens of old Folio Society titles that I will gradually track down on the secondary market, but they take their pages down immediately (or close to it). Not that Amazon/eBay sellers don't provide detail, but I like to see original marketing copy (makes one feel good about spending the money :)) as well as see the original selling price (I'd dearly love to know how much my Folio Second World War set (Churchill) went for, but I just can't find the info).

[AKC]

Sorry to all the folk that missed out. I hope you'll be able to get a remarque done after the fact.

Yep. I spoke with Don last night and he is buried in work. Good problem to have but I gathered that 50 is about all he can handle.

Doing 2 per day and trying his best to maintain that pace.

As a side note, he only has TWO of the EIGHT original pieces left if anybody was hoping to acquire. PM me for pics of the remaining pieces if interested..

Only $20 shipping to NZ. Score.

Your best bet will be to contact them in a few weeks after they have shipped them and given a chance to those receiving them to notify CD of damage. They usually hold a few back to replace damaged copies and may have some left.

I'm still extremely gutted about missing out on a Don Maitz remarque for The Shining.... :cry:

Would it be possible for members (especially those within the CDCC) to receive prior warning of when to expect an email offering remarques in the future? I missed out purely because I was blindsided and was out walking the dog when the email was initially sent at 8:37pm GMT.

With prior warning, members can arrange to be at their computers at a set time, which will lead to everyone having a fair and equal chance of gaining a remarque.

Just my 2 cents worth....

I replied to your asking on a different forum. I looked at my gift edition, the only edition I own, and the link I sent you from ebay. My gift edition DOES NOT have that box on the lettered dust jacket expressing 52 lettered in grey. So, I believe the dust jackets are different. But, make sure with someone else verifying it.

I can't speak for others on the board or CD The Shining customers outside of TDT.org but if the files haven't gone to the printer yet I would be willing to accept a delay in publication if this material (After The Play and the deleted scenes) could be included. If it costs a few extra $ that would be OK as well.

I'll second that for sure!

[carlosdetweiller]

I'm being Captain Obvious here but it won't get off the ground unless King agrees. The material at the end may be one thing but asking a writer to include material he has already by his own choice deleted is another.

[NoAttitudeThisTime]

Wasn't it the publishers who made that decision? But true, there's a big possibility that King is not interested...except that he will surely be happy since After the Play has also been lost to him in all these years

[carlosdetweiller]

I'll bet there is a copy of the manuscript in the King archives at U of Maine-Orono. Has King himself ever said it was lost? I can't remember.

[Randall Flagg]

I'm being Captain Obvious here but it won't get off the ground unless King agrees. The material at the end may be one thing but asking a writer to include material he has already by his own choice deleted is another.
I agree. Without King's express consent (leaving all other CR issues out of the hurdles), I'd be shocked if CD would publish the material. There may have been situations in the past where a 3rd party had something that King himself did not possess, and they were obtained and "returned" to SK.

It still makes for great reading and I anxiously await the outcome.

[Randall Flagg]

I'm sure jonp's PM box is full. It wouldn't surprise me if a few of the CR "police" on the site have contacted him...(wanting a confidential copy)

Full disclosure:

I haven't tried to contact him, so I do not know for a fact that his PM box is full. Pure speculation on my part.

It includes segment named "After" that consists of "Chapter 58 Newslog" (unavailable in printed book) and "Chapter 59 Summer" (that one is included in final book as chapter 58).

Hi Brian,

Is the contents of The Shining set in stone and cannot be changed? I have acquired a copy of the original manuscript of The Shine and it has numerous extra deleted scenes and includes After The Play. I have put photos up in my collection thread and details of most deleted passages.
Jon

I have been reading your posts with great interest. Watch for a PM when I get home!

Brian

Oh... wow...

[Brian861]

Does anyone remember if Small World is coming with or without a slipcase?

Without.

Brian, would it be possible that you guys could revisit the idea not to produce slipcases for the lettered? This is going to be a really nice set and I feel the lettered should at least be afforded some protection. Besides, I know you're just as nuts about slipcases as I am :).

I'm definitely thinking about some ideas in that area... Will post if anything comes of it!

Brian

:thumbsup:

I'm being Captain Obvious here but it won't get off the ground unless King agrees. The material at the end may be one thing but asking a writer to include material he has already by his own choice deleted is another.

Never any harm in asking as my mother used to tell me. Of course the answer was usually "No" :).

Does the manuscript includes AFTER THE PLAY??

It seems to be an early version of After the Play. The four deleted pages are the Newslog chapter and the rest is the chapter Summer (the only part that ever made it into the final novel). But since there is no Before (or Before the Play) in jonp's manuscript, it seems that King wrote Before the Play AFTER After the Play. Very interesting

I signed up for CD's new tithe program. Standard 10% of gross family earnings.

That's a religion I could get behind. :rock:

Well... it is also possible that this is not the first draft. It might be later version where "Before the Play" was deleted earlier, but still with "After" segment. It is possible that chapter 58 Newslog was removed during next run of corrections

[Beverly Marsh]

All of this is quite intriguing and congrats jon on your get! Whatever happens, this is going to be a great production.

[St. Troy]

Kudos to CD for (apparently) looking into the possibility of improving something that has already sold out (think about that for a second).

[Theli]

I must say this is truly intriguing! I hope something comes of it, it'd be just one more thing to make this already stellar edition unique.

I know it probably wouldn't make sense to a big company, but we really do absolutely love working on these books and we do try to make them into the editions WE would like to own.

I should have news on this soon. Stay tuned!

Hey Brian!

I sent you an email inquiring about some orders! :)

+1, Tim! Couldn't agree more! Even the remote possibility is way above and beyond what any of us could ask for. And kudos to Jon, aka jonp, for giving CD the chance before any others.
Speaking of which, I received my AE today!! So why I'm I here chatting with you clowns when I should be opening that bad boy up!! :confused:

[peripheral]

This really is blowing my mind a little. From Jon randomly showcasing a rare collectible, to that (and this site) potentially influencing the outcome of a SK limited edition through CD's incredible approach to their projects. As has been said, even if nothing can come of it, the very prospect is amazing.

Here are a few of the remarques that Don Maitz has done for the CD edition of The Shining. They are in graphite with accents in colored pencil.

That wasn't a request. LOL!

Yes, Sir!! Unfortunately, it has some issues that I'll need to email Mindy about. Bumped corner and what appears to be some type of scratch marks on the rear of the DJ. Not sure if Barlow got impatient en route or what :). Still, it is a huge, beautiful book. I'll try and post some pics later this evening. Maw saying chores before play :cry:

Brian/Dan - Is there a limited time that the End of Watch slipcase will be available, or is it open-ended? With the book tour coming up, I'd like to make sure I have a signed copy before purchasing the slipcase.

We'll be taking it off the site on Monday, so we can start production with a firm count for our slipcase maker, but I am ordering 25 extras to cover any that get damaged or lost when we ship to our customers, so we WILL have extras to offer in August.

I didn't receive that email either but ordered several when it was first announced. Matter of fact, Brian (bdwyer19), I think I ordered several too many if you want to wait til they arrive and I can cut you a deal on one.

Thanks Brian. Ordered with a gift certficate. I'm liking my chances for a signed EOW on Wednesday, but if not, it shouldn't be too hard to come across a signed copy that will eventually need to be slipcased.

Yep. I'm hoping we'll be completely done with Salem's Lot this week (remarques and all) and shipping The Fireman to anyone who just ordered the book next week. The slipcase will still be a little while yet, the book only just came out and it takes a minimum of 5 weeks to have a slipcase produced. Brian should have a better idea than I do of when that'll be done.

10 to 12 weeks for slipcases from the time we get a finished book. ;) I'm approving the hot foil stamping design today, so August is looking very likely for THE FIREMAN slipcases!
