Good luck to everyone in the lottery. To those long-time, loyal customers who have already secured copies, congratulations. You deserve it and I'm happy for you. This is very exciting.

[east-tennessee]

I was offered one...GWENDYS BOX... and accepted it ...:dance:

[firemonkey66]

Has anybody bought a lettered yet? Or has that not been an option?

[shaq]

The lettered was offered and dropped off at some point. I assume they were all sold.

Cheers

I would have bet more. CRAZY... for 50 books! I think that is what I seen on their FB page. Some happy cats though! Excited to see the list!

Hey Brian - does Dan have a ship date on the salems remarqued portfolios?

[DanHocker]

Hey Brian - does Dan have a ship date on the salems remarqued portfolios?

Not a specific shipping date, but I believe it's next in the shipping list. We'll probably start on them next week. The remarques will be at the end of that though, we always save those for last just so we don't get anything mixed up.

Knowing the level of excitement that surrounds this book, I would expect around 3.5K people have signed up to the lottery.

If this figure is correct, it means that CD will have enough people in the lottery, that they could sell the entire print run of the S/L ten times over! :clap:

I'd agree, Tim that it has probably far exceeded 2K by this point. The lottery close this afternoon, correct?

Dan. Do you have anymore of these in the warehouse? I'm in need of another one but no longer see them listed on the website. Thanks!

Not necessarily, as some people have speculated before, its likely there are some people who have their whole family, and neighbors, and their dogs and cats on the list.

Just a wild guess, 3,000 entries, but duplicates, mutiple entries that CD eliminated brings the true number below 1,000.

We should have an informal pool. $10 to the HF for 1 guess, winner gets 5 entries into the Grand Prize and bragging rights. What do yoy say, El Jefe/Brian?


I'd be in for $10 and a guess of 4,318 folks in the lottery.

[jsweet]

For lack of a better place to put this ... not saying this is a CD problem
Just throwing this out there for folks to keep an eye on their credit card statements - I have an Amex card that I use just for eBay, PayPal and publisher-direct purchases (mostly CD but also Subterranean, Dark Regions and Gauntlet on occasion) and I just had to get it replaced for the second time in the last six months for fraudulent activity. I figure a lot of other members are shopping at those places, so just wanted to mention it.

A lot on one of the King FB sites I am on.. they ALL thought it was a free one. I told them it was rights to buy one only. When I told them $450/$1750... no one was interested. They only buy gift editions for the most part.

[Brian James Freeman]

Thanks Brian. Would the Lettered and Signed Limited comes right after?

The signed editions will be later this year. Completely different trim size for the book, some extra artwork that is in progress now, and one of the authors is tougher than the other to nail down a schedule for signing the sheets. Also, the coins will need minted and then the traycases made. I'm not starting the cases until after the books are finished. I'm pretty gun-shy on using dummy books these days! I'll post some updates when I get a more formal timeline nailed down. Right now, I'm juggling all of the media and retailer contacts on the trade hardcover, which is eating up a lot of time!

For the most part, the declines have been, "I really want to, but my wife/husband talked me out of it because we really need to use that money elsewhere."

The one with him in front of bleachers/seats seems to be more popular but, could be wrong.

The Secret History of Stephen King’s Baseball Cards


As many of you know, Lonely Road Books (http://www.lonelyroadbooks.com) published a deluxe Limited Edition and a deluxe Lettered Edition of Blockade Billy (http://www.lonelyroadbooks.com/books/blockadebilly/about.html) by Stephen King. They looked something like this (click on any of the images for the full gallery on the LRB website):

Many collectors already know that Stephen King autographed his first-ever baseball cards as his way of signing these special editions, which I thought was very cool, but what no one outside a small group knew until now is that there were actually two different baseball cards created for King. Here’s how this unique and unusual collectible item came to be:


After running the baseball card idea by King, who loved it, we hired a local shop to custom-make a uniform and baseball cap for the fictional New Jersey Titans. These items were shipped down to King in Florida and we waited to see what happened. A few weeks later, the results of a photo shoot arrived.


We narrowed the photos down to one image and Kate Freeman Design (http://www.katefreeman.com/) went to work, creating two versions of the card. The first version used the original photo of King exactly as it was taken. The second version used the same photo of King, only he was photoshopped into a stock photo of Wrigley field. (We didn’t want to use a photo of Fenway because that seemed a little clichéd given King’s well-known affinity for the team, but we did want something that evoked an earlier era of baseball.)


Here are the two versions of the card before Kate finished aging them a bit:


https://i1.wp.com/www.lonelyroadbooks.com/images/books/blockadebilly/stephenkingbaseballcard2.jpg?resize=275%2C396
https://i2.wp.com/www.lonelyroadbooks.com/images/books/blockadebilly/stephenkingbaseballcard.jpg?resize=275%2C395


We ran the cards by the folks who needed to approve them, and no one could pick a favorite because everyone liked both of them for different reasons. In the end, we printed both designs because the book is about a baseball player with a secret and we thought it would be fun for this special edition to also have a secret or two of its own.


Approximately 25% of the “original photo” cards without the baseball field background were sent out to customers with their books, making it the rarer version of the two.


Here is a photo of one of the signed cards:

Thanks for posting the write-up!

Yep, that's what I thought regarding the rarity of the "original" card.

The Tabitha King book is being shipped and it looks like there are some copies in stock for those that missed out.

http://www.cemeterydance.com/small-world-by-tabitha-king-signed-limited-edition.html

Approximately 15 left!

Any chance of these going to PS Publishing. US postage and U.K. Customs has killed off my buying direct from America.

You shouldn't be paying UK customs charges on any book purchases from the US. Printed paper (books, posters etc) are exempt from import customs duty and VAT in the UK.

This is true so long as the person shipping correctly says BOOK on the customs label... I had a couple of problems last year - Jean Cocteau bookstore shipped one parcel with a customs label that just said 'game of thrones' and Fairy Magazine shipped a signed Charles Vess book with a label that said 'gift / jewellery ' (which I assume is a standard label they use). The problem then is proving what you received when you fill in a tax reclaim form, which is a hassle

[Brian James Freeman]

I figured I'd mention this now for future reference:

For those who snag a Gwendy's Button Box ARC from a reviewer or wherever, you'll want to note that there are approximately 15 to 20 little changes between that version of the text and the final file I sent to the printer for the 1st Edition, 1st Printing hardcover. Mostly some word choice changes by the authors, but also corrections of a few anachronisms. (Meaning the anachronisms that DO remain are there because the authors wanted them there!).

Vacation should be soon, I think. It's been in the warehouse for a while, but got stuck in the traffic jam of books that arrived.

The Summoning and a couple of other Little titles will be published this year.

We'll offer the slipcase for Sleeping Beauties through the summer at least.

Yea Vacation is here and just needs to be fit into the shipping schedule. I believe it's currently #3 in the shipping queue at the moment, though that queue is subject to change based on "pirority" (for lack of a better term). Up next are the Salem's Lot portfolios.

Is there any idea of when The Exorcist for the 21st Century and Stephen King Limited will be here? Any updates on these?

The Exorcist for the 21st Century will hopefully be out in late summer. It has to be scheduled around other Exorcist related "things" in the great big world out there!

Stephen King Limited is in a weird state of limbo. The interior text is designed and basically set, although the author is updating it as new books are announced. But we've been hunting for two years to find a really good solution to our PHOTOS problem. What we need are high quality, professional photos of EVERY Stephen King Limited Edition.

We had someone volunteer to travel to an SK super collector's house and take the photos, but with the significant travel costs involved, it doesn't work for the budget.

We're talking to a few of our high-end collectors now about hiring a photographer who is local to them to take a day or two and do a shoot at their house, so the books don't need to travel. But it's an invasive request to have a stranger come to your house with your expensive book collection, so it's proving difficult.

If someone on here has every single SK Limited Edition easily accessibly (meaning, in your home or office and not in storage), and you like the idea of having high quality photos of your books for your records, feel free to drop me a line. Maybe we could use a DT.org collector's collection for the book! :)

Best,
Brian

There are all kinds of things wrong with that, ha! Must have been a glitch in the store coding because the book is not a Limited Edition and the slipcase is not a traycase, obviously.

We don't ship in bags... but your shipping options *should* have been in this range:

http://www.cemeterydance.com/images/misc/shipping.jpg

It'll vary a little based on location, of course. If you paid $13.50 for the Post Office option, email Mindy and she can refund the difference!

We still don't have Parcel Post working on the new website, but this is the first item we've offered where it would have been an option, I think. (Shirts and slipcases cannot go Media Mail, but books and magazines qualify and that's most of what we sell!)

D'oh. I am quite certain the the USPS has not lowered rate overnight, so I'm wondering if there was something wrong with the shipping module's connection to the USPS server. Perhaps our system was receiving pricing for another method by mistake?

Yeah, slipcases and t-shirts ship via Parcel Post, which isn't loading on the site right now. We know from experience that if you ship too many Media Mail boxes that are "too light," they WILL get checked. We accidentally selected the wrong option on a batch of slipcases years ago and ate a lot of postage to reship them correctly via Parcel Post!

Here's to hoping they make it home soon!

[DanHocker]

Just clarifying some things that Brian either didn't remember or didn't know. Parcel Post actually isn't really a thing anymore. They dropped the service changing to to Parcel Select a couple years ago, and Parcel Select has very specific uses for which we don't technically qualify for. Besides that for most cases Priority Mail is actually cheaper than Parcel Select anyways.

On a similar note we actually do tend to ship individual shirts in bags as well. That said it's not really any cheaper than if we had shipped them in a small box as the shipping services we use would round the weights up to 1 lb anyways. Again just clearing some things up, I don't want people to be confused if they get a shirt shipped in a bag or a padded mailer.

[Randall Flagg]

T shirts in a poly bag do fine. I've bought and sold many that way with never any damage.

I've seen Mindy framing them in the front office, so I think it's just a matter of her completing that and then fitting them into the shipping plan. She'd probably have more time for the framing work if I wasn't given people on message boards incorrect information. :eek:

[wolfehr]

Thanks for the update! Haha, I'm sure they forgive you and I definitely appreciate your activity here :)

Just clarifying some things that Brian either didn't remember or didn't know.

Isn't that the most diplomatic way to say, "Brian doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, please don't ask him about shipping anymore because he always gets it wrong" that you've ever read? :) :coo3l: :clap:

Brian

Ehh both things are pretty easy to forget. The Parcel Post thing was like 2 years ago and hasn't really come up since and it's probably been over a year since the last t-shirt we did so I can't blame you. :tongue:

"Hey gang, remember when I said Dan was including a free Llama in every shipment? Please disregard that information."

:panic:

I really did completely forget the Parcel Post thing. I'm still kind of thinking, "Wait, how can they get rid of Parcel Post?"

As for forgetting that we DO ship shirts in bags, ugh... I'm just getting old.

:emot-cthulhu:

Anyway, hopefully all of the shipping module settings are fixed now, I went through them all today and placed a bunch of test orders to make sure the prices matched what USPS, Fed-Ex, and UPS were telling the system.

PLEASE let me know if you ever notice something is wonky with the site. I'll figure it out or call in the big guns who actually know stuff!

I'd really like to see CD or someone do a nice 20th anniversary edition of Michel Faber's "Under the Skin." A great book that never got a proper release.

That lama looks interesting. If you shipped me one I would probably keep it and not bother with a return.

Oh, you REALLY need to be careful on eBay these days. Folks are passing off alpaca and sheep as llamas and the COAs don't mean diddly squat! KNOW YOUR SELLERS and definitely ask on "The eBay BS Game: Questionable Llamas" thread if you have ANY concerns about a listing.

If we shipped you an alpaca in error, please contact Mindy at order@cemeterydance.com and she'll get a corrected order in the system for you ASAP. Dan will also email you a return label. Please try to keep the original packaging if at all possible. Thank you and sorry for the mistake!

Actually, I think you need to change your shipping method. I hear this can happen if it takes too long.

Well, "original packaging" will be a problem. I am in Maine. It is still cold. The alpaca is now bald. Guess I'll just keep it......

I think it is wholly irresponsible of CD to be shipping llama's. Do people not understand the danger they pose? Remember, always yell "Look out, there are llamas" if you see one. Please see this informative documentary to understand why they are so dangerous.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbwkkXGmFrI

Also llama's have been know to steal credit from those who really deserve it. See how they ruined the credits to this movie: (they sabotage it around 3:07 mark)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djKPvXDwXcs

At any rate, definitely a no go unless it is signed by Ralph the wonder llama.

Um, guys and gals, I'm really sorry to report that I was wrong yet again... we are NOT offering any llamas, alpacas, or sheep at this time. My apologies for any misunderstandings or confusion my previous posts caused.

Hope you all have a great weekend, and I cannot wait to tell you about all of the great pre-owned cars we HAVE to get off our lot next week, you'll think we've gone CRAZY with these deals!

So, I was under the impression that our traycase guy was working on THE TWELVE now and SCREAMPLAYS was next, but Dan informed me (this week?) that we didn't actually get all of the GONE GIRL traycases, so I guess he (the traycase guy, not Dan) is still working on GONE GIRL. (He sends partial shipments sometimes and it really messes with my head because if I see the case, I think the case is done!)

If I have my way, there are changes coming to how we handle traycase production, but I cannot promise more or say more yet. But my patience, it's... very, very tired at this point... ha!

(On Monday, Dan will appear here to correct everything I've gotten wrong. Stay tuned for updated information!)

Not that I can give specifics of what situation I am posting about, I did want to make sure our collectors heard this from me... As a general rule, when a retailer sometimes sells up to 50% of your print runs on books by "non-famous authors," you need to make sure you take care of that retailer when you land a book by a "famous author."

One example of NOT taking care of the retailer is when you cut their allottment by 75% AFTER you've already confirmed a certain number with them and they've already sold that number.

When you do that, the retailer and their customers might be very unhappy about how the situation was handled... and as the retailer is hearing from their customers today, how you handled the situation CAN affect people's desire to support your press in the future.

Anyway, sorry to be so vague, and if you know what I'm speaking of, it would be better for me if you didn't post any names... I just wanted to make it clear that WE ARE NOT HAPPY that our collectors, who ordered from us in good faith, are not getting their books, especially given the crazy amount of support we've given previous titles from the publisher... We love the guy, and we understand he was caught off guard by his direct sales, but man, this situation really sucks...

I just noticed that, because I was in a hurry, it might not be entirely clear what we did... the "front cover" has a diecut window to SHOW part of the "second cover" behind it -- the part of the artwork with the town.
