[Beverly Marsh]

Love it!! The plot sounds great and the way they got it done is a story unto itself!

[dnemec]

And...CD gets more of my money. Hooray!

[becca69]

Ah but the limited/lettered is going to be tough.

[wolfehr]

Story sounds great and I love the art. Trying to decide if I should pick up a copy of the trade, or wait for the S/L.

There will be a signed Limited Edition and signed Lettered Edition of this title announced by Lonely Road Books soon (but not just yet!), and we recommend signing up for the LRB newsletter or following them on Twitter and Facebook for updates because the print run will be extremely low. Collectors who purchased the previous Lonely Road Books title will be offered the signed editions first. Then, due to the high demand and the VERY low print run (among the lowest for a Stephen King Limited Edition in many years), the remaining copies will be offered via a "random drawing" process. This has been the standard practice for some other presses dealing in Stephen King Limited Editions and it seems like the most fair way to sell this small of a print run. Every interested collector will get "one entry" and have the same chance of winning the right to purchase ONE copy of the Limited Edition or the Lettered Edition. You don't have to watch a website at a specific time and hope to get lucky with timing your order just right, etc. So, it doesn't matter where in the world you live or when you work or if you're going to be away for a day. Every collector will have the same chance of being able to purchase a copy for their collection. Follow Lonely Road Books for complete details!

Woo hoo!
Getting a copy of the trade anyway but certainly hoping to snag one of these!!

Bev Vincent will be posting an interview with Rich and Steve tomorrow that really gets into how this came about, etc. Fun stuff!

[Brian James Freeman]

Thanks, on the phone with the server people right now as this rolls out!

[Theli]

Very exciting Brian! I hope to be included in the s/l drawing. But we shall see as the time draws near.

[Brian James Freeman]

Brian, are you able to say now if King is signing?

Yes, he is. And each copy will come with a very special item produced just for these signed editions, but I cannot say more yet!

Brian

[Kingfan24]

Thanks, on the phone with the server people right now as this rolls out!

Thanks Brian - I will ask about the limited/lettered here - I would assume by last LRB title you mean blockade Billy correct?

[becca69]

So if you never ordered direct from Lonely Road but you are CD customer, you are in the lottery?

[Bev Vincent]

We decided to defer my interview with King and Chizmar until tomorrow so as not to add to the load to their server.

[wolfehr]

I was getting a spinner when trying to add to my cart. I reloaded the page and tried again; worked right away. Just FYI

I'll add to the mix of questions while I'm waiting for the server....
If this applies to ANY Lonely Road book ordered in the past...what if one was ordered but had to be returned? Guessing that doesn't count as an official order?

[Brian James Freeman]

This is totally unrelated to today's announcement but I just happened to walk by the production table and spotted a few of David's remarques for the 'Salem's Lot Artwork Portfolio:

Lol, I did the same thing! I would have bought it anyway if I had known about it. My fault though for not checking.

[Brian James Freeman]

Is there a set print run for the trade edition?

The book is in pre-press at the printer, but the print run hasn't been set yet. It'll be more than our trade hardcover of BLOCKADE BILLY but a lot less than a normal Stephen King book for sure. I'll post the number when I have it, though.

Brian

[George at C-Springs]

I just ordered, had no problem at all. There are four versions of the trade hardcover available from CD: THC, THC signed by Richard Chizmar, THC in Slipcase, THC signed by Richard Chizmar in Slipcase.

The S/L of Blockade Billy came along just as I "officially" began collecting (had to check my profile to see when that date was ... August 23, 2010), so I while I grabbed the three trade versions and a Proof, I wasn't able to get the S/L from LRB. Guess I'll throw my number into the ring for a second-hand chance.

[Kingfan24]

Well, there are collectors who order the same number of every LRB title, so they need to be taken care of first. Then it only seems right to offer to those who have supported the most recent book. But don't worry Dark Tower fans, I have plans... for you.

CD is the best

As excited as I am for a new SK limited, seeing this warms my heart. One hell of a turnaround by Bryan, Mindy, Rich and the rest of the CD team. I've been a faithful CD customer over the many years (not as much last couple due to $), and remember everyone on this site calling for the CD's team heads years ago.

Kudos to CD for a well executed recovery and refocus!

I saw it - but it still hurts a bit ya know? For someone who's been a loyal customer since Buick 8 (my parents bought that for me as I was in 8th grade at the time) to have it decided by something you don't collect is tough.

I'll wait to hear the plans and look forward to the developments.

[Cwalker]

Order in... One and done!
Went for the signed with slipcase. Looks too nice not to. :)
And yes Brian, thanks for looking out for us here in The Tower. You folk do good work.

Edit:
And one more question...
What is the print run of trade edition?

[Brian James Freeman]

I agreed. This potentially allows non-King fans to buy the book then flip it on eBay at an inflated price. I'm actually disappointed by this announcement, when I should be very, very excited.

But if you were a collector who had previously supported a press, and you were told you had to compete with everyone else to get the next book by that press even though you've always supported the press by ordering their less popular titles, how would that make you feel?

Edited to add: that wasn't meant to be snarky or anything, this is ALWAYS a tough process to deal with on all ends. You'd think it would be easy as a publisher -- just announce it and sell like crazy -- but when you want to take care of everyone who has supported you over the years, it's actually a tough balancing act, especially knowing you WILL make someone you like unhappy.

Seems to me all the people who supported CD over the years, even when they took 10 years to get a book out, allowed for the creation of LRB. Now they get preference? It does not make me feel happy.

LRB is separate to CD. As Brian pointed out, you wouldn't be happy if you were a loyal customer of LRB but couldn't purchase the book because Joe public got there first....

Considering there will be only 26 Lettered copies available. A lottery IS THE ONLY WAY to ensure equal fairness to all.

26? 52 I am betting... and Brian cannot please everyone. I thank him for doing what he can. :huglove:

[wolfehr]

I wish I had the opportunity to just purchase a lettered copy, but I think how it's being handled is fair. Long time customers get first chance to match their number/letter and then a lottery for everyone else interested.

Steve agreed to sign 52, so that will be the Lettered Edition run. He is also signing 350 sheets for the Limited Edition run.

I always know I can't please everyone, but I still try. I know what it's like on all sides of the process, after all. Hopefully, everyone who really wants a copy will be able to get one. I'll be in touch on that front tomorrow.

There is a flip side to that coin. Without a lottery, there would be nothing to stop King fans buying multiple copies of the book and then flipping the unwanted ones at inflated prices.

[Brian James Freeman]

And, of course, I would have been thrilled if I could have gotten 1,000 signature sheets signed, so EVERYONE who wants one could get one.

Brian

[Theli]

I completely agree with the above 3. I think it's probably the most fair method.

Yes there would - 1 copy per customer. Let's see what Brian has for us tomorrow before we get too worked up. CD is doing what they can for us.

But if you were a collector who had previously supported a press, and you were told you had to compete with everyone else to get the next book by that press even though you've always supported the press by ordering their less popular titles, how would that make you feel?

Edited to add: that wasn't meant to be snarky or anything, this is ALWAYS a tough process to deal with on all ends. You'd think it would be easy as a publisher -- just announce it and sell like crazy -- but when you want to take care of everyone who has supported you over the years, it's actually a tough balancing act, especially knowing you WILL make someone you like unhappy.

Brian

As you say, Brian, a tough balancing act. However, if every small press had that policy, you would have the buy everything, every small press, ever published, just to get a chance of purchasing the books of the authors you love -- which is impractical both financially and space wise. OR you just bypass the small presses and just buy it from ebay at a higher price as that would be much cheaper in the long run.

[Lurker]

One copy per customer? Lottery? You know people are going to have their spouses kids coworkers friends all signing up for the lottery and then they will brag they have two or three or more copies and by the way, want to buy one? Joke. Anyway, I am done. No more comments on this...stuff.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Seems to me all the people who supported CD over the years, even when they took 10 years to get a book out, allowed for the creation of LRB. Now they get preference? It does not make me feel happy.

Considering there will be only 26 Lettered copies available. A lottery IS THE ONLY WAY to ensure equal fairness to all.

26? 52 I am betting... and Brian cannot please everyone. I thank him for doing what he can. :huglove:

Steve agreed to sign 52, so that will be the Lettered Edition run.

I always know I can't please everyone, but I still try. I know what it's like on all sides of the process, after all. Hopefully, everyone who really wants a copy will be able to get one. I'll be in touch on that front tomorrow.

Brian

My mistake. I have the LRB editions of both Dark Forces and The Exorcist, and the print run for both Lettered editions was only 26. I naturally thought that this book would have a similar print run.

However, my feelings concerning the lottery process remain unchanged. All 52 Lettered copies of this book would sell out within seconds, if it was open to everyone on a first come first served basis. A lottery gives everybody an equal and fair chance to buy ONE (and not twenty then flip nineteen).

[peripheral]

Ordered mine. Pain about the signed option, but I get that it's a complex process for publishers... (The anxious preoccupation begins!)

Which is an excellent point as well. It's a difficult balancing act and someone that you should have taken care of will always be left out. It's really the thing I hate most about announcing these because it should an be exciting -- or at least interesting! -- day for everyone, but I know someone will feel burned by the decisions that were made. Which sucks. People have every right to be bummed out and it's an imperfect process in an imperfect world.

The same thing happens when you just have a "Land Rush" process, too. You tell everyone the time and place, and then people have their friends and family place orders, and then they have multiple copies even though it was supposed to be "one" per person.

Or... you can tell no one in advance, just announce the book out of the blue one day, and then people who were on the road or not randomly watching your website that day miss out.

It's not a perfect system for sure. I totally hear where you're coming from.

Thanks for the reply, Brian. I understand that you're in a difficult position. But at least I can say if Gwendy's Button Box is anything like your previous King releases, we'll be in for a truly beautiful book.

They can get signed or unsigned, and they will be getting the slipcase. We were planning on keeping that as an exclusive to our site but then we thought about the insane overseas shipping cost for what is mostly air and we changed our minds. The website will be updated to remove the "exclusive" mention as soon as we can get back to our normal updating procedures.

Thanks Brian for making the signed and slipcase available to PS. It will save a lot on shipping. USPS charges seemed to have gone through the roof these days!

[surly]

Based on Brian's advice that there will be a 'second' announcement later, I didn't make any adjustments to my meeting calendar today so I'm just playing catch up now - and there is a lot to catch up on.
Okay, in summary: there will be an edition signed by King, which is different than the signed copy offered on the ordering page; this edition will be published by LRB and offered a later date in the not too distant future; it will be offered first to previous LRB customers first and then a lottery will be held for remaining copies; Brian may post some additional insights for ordering on this page soon, but no set time...

whew! does that cover it? that's it, i'm never scheduling a meeting during the day again.

Scribner is discussing an audiobook, but there are no plans on them publishing their own hardcover at this time because we don't have the same restrictions contractually that we had for BLOCKADE BILLY.

Brian

[Brian James Freeman]

"This book will be a Cemetery Dance Publications exclusive with no other editions currently planned anywhere in the world!"

Eventually, I'll get that tweaked to trade hardcover and eBook because there looks to be an audiobook. Plus, of course, I wasn't thinking about the signed editions when I wrote it. So many things to juggle some days!

Ordered a copy (with slipcase). I have the Blatty book on order so hope I have a chance to purchase a limited.

Guessing $450 for the limited and $2,000 for the lettered.

[DoctorZaius]

Excited and disappointed at the same time. I look forward to taking my chance in the lottery. It's how I got my first Stephen King limited - I won a lottery at a bookstore in Boston called Avenue Victor Hugo and got the right to buy the third Dark Tower book, which in turn locked in me for rest of the series (except TWTTKH because my number was too high). I fully understand what Brian is doing with his system, just as I did with Grant. It does not favor me, but the reality is that there was no way Brian could have satisfied everyone.

Brian you are a stand up guy. I have read through the thread and appreciate your candor and civility. Good luck with the production.

Will those offered a chance before the lottery to purchase be allowed to buy more than one or just one?

Can never satisfy everyone - but looks like Brian definitely planned ahead to cover most as best and fairly as possible. Cannot do much when limited by 402 total signed copies. Looking forward to any more news as the story continues to unfold. Ordered my signed slipcased copy from CD this morning - shortly after the announcement (always fun to do on the phone).

[amd013]

How many copies is Richard signing? Surprised the price with the signature is same without. I was so busy today I didn't have a chance to order until about 6pm eastern. Was surprised, given the cost, there were still signed copies available (and still are).

For what its worth, although I will have to enter the lottery, I think its a fair system. I know when I decided to start collecting limited editions a few years ago, I thought I would never have an opportunity to buy a lettered edition (new) if previous customers had first dibs. Somehow I got lucky and saw Brian's announcement for Salem's Lot on stephenkingcollector.com, before I was a member here, and was able to jump on it within an hour of the announcement and order a copy. So on the one hand I understand the desire to be given special treatment for being loyal customer, (because I have definitely taken advantage of that), but on the other hand I like to see new collectors have an opportunity to get in on the limited editions.

Brian, whatever you do for going live with a lottery or whatever you have planned, please consider giving ample warning for signup. Days like tomorrow are heavy on meetings, it won't be possible to monitor here or CD for a mystery info drop. I'd hate to miss the chance because I was trapped in a conference room at the wrong hour! Thx.

[darkseer]

Got a signed copy slipcased. You guys at CD are the best :smile:

[frik]

Absolutely hate the idea of a lottery. I know it's impossible to please everyone, but why not just announce the time the limited/lettered books will go on sale and give everyone a chance to buy what they want. Worked just fine for the last King sale...Wasn't that the IT limited? No, must have been Doctor Sleep.
I mean, and I'm speaking only for myself obviously, I am the proud owner of practically all CD/Lonely Road King limited/lettered editions, and the chance I'll be able to put the upcoming books on my shelves is practically nonexistent.

Why is it nonexistent? You will have exactly the same chance in the lottery as everyone else. It is fair and straightforward.

Not a fan of lotteries either. And I doubt there are many or even any copies for a lottery once their customers have first dibs.

Practically non-existent. I was mainly referring to the lettered edition- of which I doubt many will be left after those who will be contacted first have had their say.

I second that. I as interested on how much of the story was Steve's and how much was Rich's and that's exactly what I got from the interview.

[dnemec]

This is a dumb question at this point, but how do we enter the lottery for the LRB limited and lettered?
Not speaking for Brian, CD or LRB, but IIRC, details will be coming soon.

I came back to ask this too. Any clue as to when we can anticipate all this?

Within the next week. I'll be back with more details soon, hopefully. (By "soon" I mean tomorrow... hopefully)

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Don't worry if you're waiting on an email from me or a reply to something, I'm just going off the Internet for a few hours here to take a break. Long day!! I might need to do some editing tonight, so I may not get back to my email until tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Brian, are there any plans for remarques in the S/Ls or a portfolio for Gwendy's Button Box? The artwork certainly looks very interesting and I'm not familiar with the artists.

The web developers "dumbed" down the site a bit for the announcement to help ease the load a bit. So some of the menus have gone away temporarily and will be back later. The pages are all still there, you just need to be linked directly to the page.

So far, I have ordered the slipcased first trade edition. Wondering what the deal is on a S/L?


Also, this time will the slipcase and book arrive at the same time as the non-slipcased editions? I have to admit, I love the CD slipcases, but hate having to wait months for the slipcases to arrive. Just a small peeve though. They are certainly worth the wait in the end.

I can't say much of anything about a S/L. However I can say that we set up to handle the slipcases differently for this one. The books and slipcases will be shipped separately so no one will have to wait for the slipcase to read the book.

Oh, not complaining, but I thought that maybe cause you guys were involved in the publishing that the slipcases and books would arrive at the same time. FWIW, I buy from CD for "Collecting copies". My reader I will likely get elsewhere. Just FYI. Needless to say, I love what you guys are doing!!!!

Unfortunately for this project it would probably delay the release of the book, which is something we can't do, and we don't want to hold people up from being able to read their books, so we set up the product a bit differently so if necessary we'll be able to ship them separately. I don't really know the details, just the logistics of the situation.

I know
All King books are special but can i gauge opinions, about the new book.

From a collectors point of view is this a special book as it it based in the castle rock world?

I'm really interested to visit again but wondered how others felt about it?

Personally I think it's pretty special as a great cast of characters have come out of Castle Rock and we thought the book(pun fully intended)closed on this particular slice of Maine. I think for King to make a welcome return there will bring about a great story and I can't wait to read it!
As far as the collecting side of things I imagine this would be desirable because of the above mentioned things but also because, if rumors are true, he may be cutting back on the S/L game so who knows how many more he will do in the future? And I believe a new King book whether it be trade or signed is always desirable and even the trade edition is rather limited.

Whilst looking at the news about Gwendy on the cd site, I notice they also announced a s/l of interview with the vampire.. and I also noticed it was already sold out:-(
