Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[webstar1000]

If anyone wants to hear about the "little joys" of small press publishing, ask Dan about his current attempts to get the Sleeping Beauties slipcases from the case maker to the book printer... Although, considering Dan is the one who decides when he's going to ship your orders to you, maybe you don't actually want to poke the bear by doing that... :dance:

Brian

LOL I agree. We want that book so bad.. let's let the man be!

Small press publishing seems like herding cats...

It’s a lot of waiting for someone to do something.

Small press publishing seems like herding cats...

It’s a lot of waiting for someone to do something.

It seems like it would be like this:

We ask "what about Awesome Novel?"

And in the publisher's head, as he begins to twitch :unsure:, he thinks:

what about that slipcase, Mr. Slipcase Maker?
what about that printing schedule, Mr. Printing House?
what about those signature sheets, Mr. Author that no one blames when these things take forever because everybody interested in the book A) already loves him and B) assumes he's already done the hard work anyway?

:mad1:

:emot-flame:

...and because the publisher doesn't wish to damage any of these relationships or look like a jerk, he refrains from screaming "my suppliers are all flakes!" <_< or "my supply chain logistic forecasts are fantasies as unrealistic as anything in Penthouse Forum!" :panic:, sighs and offers some upbeat version of "sorry for the delays, but coming along well now!" while dreading the inevitable negative impression left by a seeming admission of guilt when all he's trying to do is respond to the people whose money he already holds...and maybe produce a nice book too.

:beat:

"The City of Mirrors" and "Interview With a Vampire"
Any movement on these?

I know they are both high priorities on Rich's "got to get these books to the printer" list, now that we're almost caught-up from last year's logjam, but I'm still waiting on some more specifics. He had an unexpected collaboration leap onto his schedule -- it must be something about this time of year! -- and he's been buried in that for the last six weeks or so, but I'm hoping he surfaces with some more details about his plans soon!

Brian

Well poop.
Thanks though!

Honestly I'm still confused about that, and our UPS Freight service rep has been really slow at responding to me.

[Brian861]

I figure I'll have all pre-orders forwarded to the crypt and have a custom made coffin with a library return type slot so the books can just be fed through there. I might actually have time to read then as well.

Brian,
I do not intend for this question/statement to appear as a personal attack on you and I hope the DT.org gods don't get angry but here goes...
The answer you provided really wasn't an answer unless you meant "movement" backwards. It reads to me that yet again "Rich" is going to shove another more important "current" project in front of previously promised "bought & paid for" publications.
Yes I understand the Publishing business is difficult for some but seriously, CD pub has more "drama" excuses than any of the others.
It's absolutely ludicrous how long CD strings its customers along and the bait & switch regarding release timelines is tiring.

So to "MY" question that I've been asking now for years:
When is CD Publishers going to Actually publish "The City of Mirrors"

Please don't respond with "CD will refund my money if I'm unhappy"
I'm very unhappy, I don't want a refund, I want part three to my promised trilogy.

Hi Cook,

I don't take it as a personal attack at all.

I apologize if I caused some confusion above: I meant that Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own, and when that happens, it can sometimes be difficult for the staff to get clear-cut answers on scheduling and plans, etc, because he's so deep in his own writing. That wasn't in reference to some CD project moving ahead of already announced books.

I understand your frustration. You paid for the book! Years ago! And you want the book, not a refund! I get that. Trust me, I really really do. I want you to have your book sooner than later, too!

(I mean, seriously: does anyone think I enjoy answering questions about late books? Especially given the absolutely nasty things people feel liberated to say from the safety of their keyboard? NOT anyone here, of course! You're all awesome! Saints and angels! But if you've ever been on the Internet before, you know what I mean...)

I know I've said this before and got some negative rep, but still, here's the deal... Richard owns CD. It is his company. He pays the bills, he decides what gets done when, he chooses when things are announced publicly, etc.

So, when you ask questions about CD projects, I reply with what I know and am allowed to post publicly. Sometimes this info is unsatisfying, as the post above clearly was. I apologize for that. But the MOMENT I have more concrete news, I will share it widely for everyone.

This still doesn't actually answer your question, underlined and in bold and in size 3 font above, but it's the best information I have at this time. I apologize that it isn't the information you desire.

Ok, I Just want to get this right, correct me if I'm wrong with my summary below.

"Richard owns CD" "he decides what gets done when"
"Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own", "so deep in his own writing"

"I (Brian) reply with what I know and am allowed to post publicly", "This still doesn't actually answer your question"

Brian,
I really don't even know how to respond to this. You're telling me his eminence is "so deep in his own writing" he can't take a moment to look at his company computer to decide the latest 3-card shuffle.
The simple fact that you can't do that task yourself is shocking, Is the power out?
I expect this type of answer from politicians and religious entities, but not a publishing business.
This is a joke, Right?

When is CD Publishers going to speculate publishing "The City of Mirrors" ?

I'm truly nauseated with CD Publishing, I can't imagine how the author(s) must feel.
I'm not picking on you as a person Brian, my question is for the title below you name.

...now that we're almost caught-up from last year's logjam

Where does this realistically put the Night Shift publication date?

I don't know specifically where it puts Night Shift, but we typically don't run more than 1 big SK book at the printer at the same time. Sleeping Beauties is supposed to be done real soon (assuming I can ever get the cases from the case maker to the printer). Once Sleeping Beauties is done I expect we'll be starting Night Shift at the printer. I'm not really sure what the printer / case makers turnaround time for a big project like Night Shift is.

[richardsrarebooks]

I've never had a problem with CD being late until now. For a publishing company's schedule to be determined by Mr. Chizmer's writing projects? I would think a little more delegating of authority is much needed. We all know how good CD is about refunding money, but that's not what we're looking for. It's your wonderful books.

[webstar1000]

Richard has customers to look after before his writing projects would be my opinion. I mean, I love CD and their books but waiting this long certifiably does suck:( Even if some of the older titles were made top priority it might ease some displeasure for his customers.

Ideally, it should mean some of the decision making is shared with others who can run the day-to-day operation. Either additional staff or empowered partners. One person being the sole decision-maker leads to bottlenecks.

[St. Troy]

Is that what was said? I thought Brian said Richard Chizmar's writing was impacting communication of these things, not the scheduling itself:


...Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own, and when that happens, it can sometimes be difficult for the staff to get clear-cut answers on scheduling and plans...

...but of course I'm sure Brian or Dan will explain more fully.

Brian is an excellent GM and might be in Richards best interest to give him these powers. He can handle it 100%.

[Brian James Freeman]

Just a heads-up for fans of our new Graveyard Editions series, Head Space and Other Uncomfortable Surroundings (Graveyard Editions #3) is officially rolling at the printer and we should have finished copies in June:

[Brian James Freeman]

Is that what was said? I thought Brian said Richard Chizmar's writing was impacting communication of these things, not the scheduling itself:


Yep, sorry if I was unclear. When Richard is writing, he's not always even in Maryland. Last year, he was in a "writer's room" in Arizona (I think) for a week and often there are meetings in LA, sometimes he's in Maine, etc.

Obviously, cell phones and computers and the Internet exist, so it's not like we're all waiting on telegraphs, but he's juggling a lot in his brain, and sometimes we're waiting on decisions or answers.

As to more delegation of certain critical tasks... that's not for me to decide, of course, but I would be ready if the time came and Richard wanted to hand off responsibilities.

My preference would be for CD to curtail future projects until they make substantial headway in addressing the backlog. It's gotten out of hand. I'm supportive of the company and products but at some point they need to address the obvious issues. And not with just excuses.

[richardsrarebooks]

It's great that "Head Space" will be published in June. But what about "Best of CD 2"; "City of Mirrors"; Interview with the Vampire"; "Turn Down the Lights", etc.? It's been years for all of them, which I have ordered and will continue to wait for.

But what about "Best of CD 2"

I'm pretty sure sig sheets are still circulating for this one. There's a ton of people signing and it take a surprising amount of time to get that many people to sign sig sheets.

Correct! From the link above:

The Best of Cemetery Dance 2 edited by Richard Chizmar:
Proofreading is essentially done for this title, although we'll send it out for a 10th pass next month just out of paranoia. The authors who are available to sign are still in the process of signing the signature sheets and shipping them (via pre-paid label) to the next person on the list, but we have really high hopes that this process will be completed by the first half of 2019, which would allow us time to finally publish this long awaited mammoth volume (760 pages!) in 2019.

[Brian James Freeman]

It's not obvious from the outside (because, of course, unless you're in the office it couldn't be, right?), but we've actually turned down a lot of interesting projects and restricted our buying considerably in the last two years as part of our catch-up plan that did get derailed a bit last year.

Brian

[Brian James Freeman]

I'm posting this separately and not in reply to anyone in particular, since it's a general comment:

There are ALWAYS going to be books that are announced and published "ahead" of other books for contractual reasons or business reasons, but in a lot of cases, the most common reason is simply because they're ready for the printer first.

Ideally, the books that are stuck in various parts of production wouldn't have been announced when they were, but we cannot unring that bell now, so we're working at them on a case by case basis the best we can.

But, to be clear: I agree with all of you 100%. We shouldn't have fallen behind, you deserve the books you paid for as soon as possible, and that's definitely our goal.

And as soon as I'm done writing this post, I can get back to the SLEEPING BEAUTIES production update for everyone. :drool:

Brian - Honestly I've lost track of everything ordered and what remains on back order. Brian, you know something simple (well, from a customer perspective anyway) that would be extremely helpful would be on the "Order History" page to have an indicator ("Order Filled" column would make the most sense) showing when an order has already been filled or if it remains open. As it is you have to click on each order number just to see what the order is (because no description is given next to the Order Number ... that would also be helpful) and then try to remember if it was received. Personally I have four pages of order history going back to 2011, I'm sure others have more; I couldn't possibly summarize what I still have on order. Something to serve that purpose would certainly be useful.

I second that! I periodically print out ALL my orders, but it sure gets confusing. Even more so when you order a MINDY SPECIAL. What did I order????

[DanHocker]

I think we've talked about this before, but I think we determined that with the way our website and order management system works, that we have no way to do that. From what I understand, it's one way communication. The order management system can get info from the website, but the website can't get info back from the order management system.

Hey George!

Yeah, that is a side effect of our website software and our offline order management software not always playing nice together. Together, they do most of the things we need, but one of the problems they have is when the offline system wants to "push order data" back up to the website. It seems like it should be easy peasy, but for some reason they just don't speak the same language.

It's a problem we're aware of, and at some point we'd like to replace the whole system from top to bottom to make it more user friendly, but a surprising amount of manpower goes into that sort of transition, and right now we're focusing on the books as much as possible.

The good news is, Mindy is able to look on her end and figure out all of that for you, and also decipher any weird product codes and names from secret pre-sales, etc. Not nearly as convenient, I know, but she's always very happy to help you sort things out!

Bump,




Brian,
I do not intend for this question/statement to appear as a personal attack on you and I hope the DT.org gods don't get angry but here goes...
The answer you provided really wasn't an answer unless you meant "movement" backwards. It reads to me that yet again "Rich" is going to shove another more important "current" project in front of previously promised "bought & paid for" publications.
Yes I understand the Publishing business is difficult for some but seriously, CD pub has more "drama" excuses than any of the others.
It's absolutely ludicrous how long CD strings its customers along and the bait & switch regarding release timelines is tiring.

So to "MY" question that I've been asking now for years:
When is CD Publishers going to Actually publish "The City of Mirrors"

Please don't respond with "CD will refund my money if I'm unhappy"
I'm very unhappy, I don't want a refund, I want part three to my promised trilogy.

Hi Cook,

I don't take it as a personal attack at all.

I apologize if I caused some confusion above: I meant that Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own, and when that happens, it can sometimes be difficult for the staff to get clear-cut answers on scheduling and plans, etc, because he's so deep in his own writing. That wasn't in reference to some CD project moving ahead of already announced books.

I understand your frustration. You paid for the book! Years ago! And you want the book, not a refund! I get that. Trust me, I really really do. I want you to have your book sooner than later, too!

(I mean, seriously: does anyone think I enjoy answering questions about late books? Especially given the absolutely nasty things people feel liberated to say from the safety of their keyboard? NOT anyone here, of course! You're all awesome! Saints and angels! But if you've ever been on the Internet before, you know what I mean...)

I know I've said this before and got some negative rep, but still, here's the deal... Richard owns CD. It is his company. He pays the bills, he decides what gets done when, he chooses when things are announced publicly, etc.

So, when you ask questions about CD projects, I reply with what I know and am allowed to post publicly. Sometimes this info is unsatisfying, as the post above clearly was. I apologize for that. But the MOMENT I have more concrete news, I will share it widely for everyone.

This still doesn't actually answer your question, underlined and in bold and in size 3 font above, but it's the best information I have at this time. I apologize that it isn't the information you desire.

Brian

Brian,
Ok, I Just want to get this right, correct me if I'm wrong with my summary below.

"Richard owns CD" "he decides what gets done when"
"Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own", "so deep in his own writing"

"I (Brian) reply with what I know and am allowed to post publicly", "This still doesn't actually answer your question"

Brian,
I really don't even know how to respond to this. You're telling me his eminence is "so deep in his own writing" he can't take a moment to look at his company computer to decide the latest 3-card shuffle.
The simple fact that you can't do that task yourself is shocking, Is the power out?
I expect this type of answer from politicians and religious entities, but not a publishing business.
This is a joke, Right?

When is CD Publishers going to speculate publishing "The City of Mirrors" ?

I'm truly nauseated with CD Publishing, I can't imagine how the author(s) must feel.
I'm not picking on you as a person Brian, my question is for the title below you name.
Richard

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Although the fact that I'm waiting for four or five books for quite a while doesn't bother me at all, I DID miss out on getting a lettered SLEEPING BEAUTIES.
So feel free, under no obligation at all, I assure you, to send me a left over lettered or PC copy that nobody has any use for to make up for it.
I mean, like, you know, one of those you were going to toss away anyway or use to line the bird cage of that weird parakeet that came back after you buried it in the sematary.
I can use lighter fluid to clean off the stains, really...

No offense to, Rich I feel his pain, but AMEN!!! LOL

[Dr. Dawg]

Wow, that traycase looks amazing!

[stroppygoblin]

Hell yes. Can’t wait for that one :thumbsup:

[The Library Policeman]

That looks great!

[George at C-Springs]

The good news is, Mindy is able to look on her end and figure out all of that for you, and also decipher any weird product codes and names from secret pre-sales, etc. Not nearly as convenient, I know, but she's always very happy to help you sort things out!

Thanks Brian, I dropped Mindy a note.

[St. Troy]

Kickass traycase.

[Brian James Freeman]

Here is the latest SLEEPING BEAUTIES update for those who didn't order directly from us:

As we mentioned at the end of January, our printer is on track to have all of the books to us in April, but in the meantime other parts of the project are being completed and we wanted to share something we thought you might find interesting.

Today, we received our final approval traycase for the Limited Edition, which is essentially the first real traycase. It looks and feels exactly like the rest of them, which our case maker is now in the process cutting and wrapping.

We’ve posted a photo if you’d like a sneak peek, but don’t click on the link if you’d rather be surprised when you open the shipping box:


https://www.cemeterydance.com/images/misc/king17LMTDtraycase01.jpg


More news to come. Thank you, as always, for your continuing support and patience!

[Ari_Racing]

That's probably the best traycase CD has ever produced. Congratulations!!

[jeffingoff]

In the CD Forum, BJF mentioned that the Sleeping Beauties Artwork Portfolio would be made from the same materials and hot foils. So it'll make a great set and there are still portfolios available.

[Ari_Racing]

Of course I already purchased the porfolio :D

[burial]

[stroppygoblin]

And as always, I have a moment of panic and eventually find I placed an order months and months ago!

[Brian James Freeman]

Did Dan or I post a photo of the SLEEPING BEAUTIES Gift Edition slipcase a while back, or did we just talk about doing that and then forget to actually post the photo?

Brian

[bdwyer19]

I don’t recall seeing one, Brian. Do you have one you can share?

Same here. I had to check the preorder spreadsheet. Nope, I don't have a buying problem! :nope:

The photos on my phone aren’t good... I’ll text Dan and ask him to grab his good camera in the AM!

Don't give up yet. Contact Mindy or Dan. They might pleasantly surprise you.

I feel like there's a small chance Dan still has a copy or two in the back, but let's see what he says when he gets to the office in the AM! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Brian

[DanHocker]

Unfortunately had you been a week or two earlier there's a chance I might have still had it, but we had just used all the stragglers from the little book series (and most of the other pub stragglers) in the most recent grab bag.

Thanks Brian, I dropped Mindy a note.

Heard back from Mindy today, and holy cow 15 items on back order dating to 2012! On the plus side, I have coming a Lettered The Twelve, The Stand Deluxe Special AE, Best of Shivers Limited, Sleeping Beauties Limited + Art, and a bunch more I didn't even remember.

Ugh. Kinda sorry I ever asked the question now. IMO the production page is great as it does reflect all publications still in the works and where they are in production; no it's not a spreadsheet, but all the data is still right there.

What it doesn't reflect (obviously) is everyone's individual orders; my issue was being able to have a quick & easy view of what I personally still had on order because that particular functionality is not available, due to software limitations, through the "Order History" page. The answer Brian provided in Post #18292 was "Mindy has the capability to produce individual back-order lists"; I requested, Mindy provided, then I posted my results here for everyone's reference.

So, not to overload Mindy, but if you are interested in a spreadsheet listing your own individual back-order list, drop Mindy a request and she will generate it and and email it to you.

Another suggestion, the way I do it, is to keep a folder of all your order confirmations. This is also help in that you can reply directly to that confirmation with any questions, request, etc.

Yeah, I have a folder labeled PRE-ORDERS full of order confirmations for every book I've purchased that has not arrived. Sometimes I scroll through and cry and scream 'I WANT TO HOLD MY BABIES!" but that's Jeff time.

You're safe there.

I have that folder as well, and basically it's filled with years of confirmations and emails and such ... none of which is nearly as effective as a simple spreadsheet.

I've been pulling together documentation for all of my collectibles into one location for insurance purposes, as I am in definite need of an upgrade to my Art rider. Kinda spoiled by some of the larger auction houses which provide summary exportable spreadsheets of all past orders which include all data you could possibly need; I take that and then add a jpeg of the item itself along with current value, if known, and POC info for disposition in case of my untimely passing.

My primary issues are with finding older data, especially from eBay which only maintains those links for 90 days; if you didn't document it then, you're essentially shit out of luck (unless someone here knows of a trick that I don't).

Sorry I guess my question was not clear. I have both of those issues. Back in 2011 I ordered a subscription for the next 4 Grave tales issues. I received #7 as the first of 4. I am wondering when if ever are #8,#9,#10 be issued. I spoke with Mindy a year or two ago and she said more would be coming out within a year or so. Below is email I have from 2011 from CD.

SLEEPING BEAUTIES UPDATE going out today via email:
Our printer has reported they will be slipcasing the Gift Edition books next week, which they should be able to complete within a week. Our Limited Edition traycases have been completed, the final approval copy looks great, and those cases are now on the way to our warehouse and should arrive by the end of next week. We're still on track to ship the Gift Edition and Limited Edition by the end of April. Thank you again for all of your patience!

[Brian James Freeman]

CARDINAL BLACK update going out today via email:
The trade hardcover of CARDINAL BLACK has arrived in the Cemetery Dance Publications warehouse! We cannot ship customer orders for the book until the last week of the month, but we are starting to pack orders now, so they all go out the same day. (There are *lots* of orders!)

If you ordered the trade hardcover directly from us, please know the shipping notice email you might receive in the next few days isn’t “real” -- our system will send it automatically when we process your order to begin the packing process. That said, any tracking number in the email will “become active” once the package is scanned by the shipping service later this month!

Sorry for any confusion this might cause, but we just wanted to get ahead on packing so all of these trade hardcovers could ship on the same day. We will send a mass email the day the packages ship, so you can be on the lookout for your incoming delivery!

** UPDATE ON THE SIGNED & SLIPCASED LIMITED EDITION:

A copy of the Limited Edition book has been overnighted to our slipcase maker, and he estimates he will have the slipcases ready in June. If you ordered the trade hardcover as well, your trade hardcover WILL ship right away with the rest of the trade hardcover orders!

** UPDATE ON THE SIGNED & TRAYCASED LETTERED EDITION:

We have a hand-binder who we’re sending untrimmed, unbound book blocks of CARDINAL BLACK. He is still picking several materials for us to select from, but then he’ll get right into production. The books and the traycases will be made from hand, with the goal of creating something unique for our line while staying true to the previous Lettered Editions in the series. Here are two photos of the untrimmed book block in case you’ve never seen one before:

That'll be a separate shipment as they are in the queue to get cases made. Generally though shipping them separately makes dealing with number requests on the portfolios a bit easier as we get a lot of requests that are "match my book". Which is really hard to deal with when the book and the portfolios aren't on the same orders. This way it'll let us just reference a chart or send out a email saying "last change to request a matching number" or something like that.

Brian may be able to narrow down specifics for the portfolio time frame though, I'm not entirely sure where we're at with the case for that.

You can ALWAYS request a number/matching number, just respond back to Mindy on your order e-mail receipt. They will ALWAYS do their best to match, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.

[DanHocker]

Correct. We do our best to honor specific number requests on our titles. Other publisher's titles are a bit trickier and on most titles we don't even let people request specific numbers. It's been a bit of a mess with PS Publishings SK titles and Borderlands Little Books though. I wish I could go back in time and tell people that if they where after matching numbers on those series to order them direct from the publishers. It's not applicable to most people as it's a small percentage of customer who orders every single one, then it's an even smaller percentage of customer who cares about the matching number, but it does suck when for whatever reason something happens and we can't match someones number part way into a series.

I'm still hoping it'll start shipping in April, but we still don't have the books in the warehouse yet. We've seen approval copies though which means they've got to be really close. TBH though even if they were to show up tomorrow, it'd pretty unlikely you'd actually get your copy in April as we need to finish what we're shipping now and clear out the Cardinal Black shipments (which can't leave until next week) before I even have room to think about working on a project the size of Sleeping Beauties.

Hmm now the dilemma... do I get the matching number to my GBB or not

I considered strongly whether to get the S/L or just the signed trade. In the end, I decided to go for the trade that because there isn't a stated limitation, and the S/L doesn't come with a slipcase. What makes an S/L different than a signed trade 1st? The limitation, and usually better craftsmanship; often in the form of a slipcase or something of that nature. The only main differences here seem to be the limitation page, as well as a few interior illustrations and a different dust jacket. For a man in my financial standing, that is not worth the extra $50. Just my humble beginners opinion.

And one of them, if it happens, is REALLY cool, in my opinion. Just waiting to find out if we get the green light on that before we lock in the print run.

The print run of the trade hardcover will be between 50,000 and 100,000 copies. The signed Limited Edition will be a tiny fraction of that for sure. I really wanted to have the answer before today, but I will know soon. :)

The Limited Edition of Gwendy's Magic Feather will have a different trim size than the trade hardcover as well, just like the Limited Edition of the first book did. Not sure if I stated that on the page.

For the obvious reasons, this title won't be getting the same Limited Edition treatment as the first book, but it'll still be pretty nice. :)

I think any lawyer would be able to demonstrate that in your post you committed to nothing concrete. Sure you surfaced some speculation in your response using the word "trilogy" that didn't appear in the original commenter's post, and you seemed to suggest that it was in the realm of possibility that the King/Chizmar collaboration has grown from the co-authored GBB to include two additional books--one written entirely by Chizmar and one written entirely by King. And certainly your standing as a principal at CD who works closely with Chizmar positions you as an insider and lends any flip comment the weight of legitimacy--especially in a forum crowded with collectors who are anxiously awaiting any news regarding King and are eager to act on all manner of speculation.

But your post wouldn't hold up in a court of law.

Yeah, and it's 23.99% interest rate as well!!!! lol lol lol

[shaq]

BUT if this becomes a series, then.may not continue collecting. We will see.

Ah, but what if Richard is too busy for book three and his co-author from the first book has to tackle the final book alone...? :wink: I mean, if there was going to a trilogy, which I have no idea about. I'm just spitballing here. Having a little fun.

:onfire:

Oh you devil!!!

Its castle rock... good chance i would cave in anyway. Lol

Editted to say, no disrespect meant to Richard either, i really enjoyed the collaboration, hence my order to see what he will do next.

[Brian James Freeman]

Certainly will! I assume since CD is doing the lettered edition, that there will be no Lonely Road production for me to miss out on?

Correct for this one!

LRB is working on The Night Eternal to finish The Strain trilogy this year, and our final book with William Peter Blatty, which I also hope will be this year. For both of them, though, I'd like to wait to "officially" announce them until they're ready for or even at the printer, to cut down on that wait time between payment and shipment. I know folks would appreciate that!

I know from reading outside our SK Collecting World that "casual readers" are concerned based on SLEEPING BEAUTIES, GBB, and now GMF that Steve is going to go all James Patterson with dozens of co-authors, ghost writers, and people writing "in his worlds..." but I think those of us who live and breathe the world of Stephen King a little more deeply know that's not true.

Steve could have sold out 30+ years ago and gone that route. He didn't then, he isn't now. He values the words. He values the work. He certainly doesn't need the money. I think we can trust him to protect his worlds.

Just my two cents. I know this topic didn't come up HERE, but I just wanted to say something because you might see it elsewhere. :)

Best,
Brian

Of course you do😀

No, the peacock feather will be used to write the number.

I ordered the signed trade and the S/L. The first book was intriguing enough for me to want to know what happens next, and the two editions look different enough to warrant getting both.

It would be nice to know the S/L limitation though, and whether they will be numbered.

And generally, given the choice between a slipcase or foil stamped boards on an S/L, I much prefer a slipcase. But maybe that's just me.

In any case, I'm looking forward to this release.

Foil stamped boards a certainly nice... but are usually covered by a dust jacket. Either way, I caved and went for the S/L. But man I'm a sucker for a slipcase. It just oooozes classssss.

Mindy is preparing lots and lots of orders, putting in a TON of change of addresses... We're just about ready to rock n roll! :)

It was easy to write and post that update because I was literally writing an update for us to email the customers who ordered directly from us! That'll be sent out shortly. :)

In that email will be your MAILING ADDRESS that is going to be on the shipping label. Please check it! :) If it is not correct, please reply to the email ASAP with the correct address.

If anyone here ordered directly from us and doesn't get those update emails, PLEASE make sure you send us a Change of Address email ASAP if you have moved since you ordered. Changing your address on the website doesn't change it in our offline order management system. Please email Mindy at ORDER@CEMETERYDANCE.COM if you need any help.

Thank you!

Agreed. This is more or less exactly my thinking too.

Although I will say that the foil stamped boards on the trade edition of Cardinal Black look VERY nice. CD did a really nice job there.

Limitation and numbering will be updated as soon as I hear back about whether we can include a particular special feature, although that special feature might need to remain a secret until later. :) I wanted to have the limitation info posted for today, but the announcement date was set in stone and that yes/no didn't get back in time.

As to the slipcase... who knows, perhaps I'll still talk Richard into it! This wouldn't be the first time I said: "Budget? What budget? Think of how NICE it'll look!" ;) No promised or guarantees, but I'm going to try... because I always try...

Well I ended up ordering the S/L but Mindy just sent back that numbers are not guaranteed because they don't know if this one will be 1. numbered and 2. if that number is owned by someone from CD because GBB was LRB not CD. So if Brian in even a little right on the Trilogy I sure hope the number them and choose somewhat close the the same number so we don't have a Grant DT fiasco trying to get a book when the numbers are all different.

STRANGE WEATHER update:

The interiors of all four volumes are designed and being proofread now, but that process is basically done.

The signature sheets are being printed now (we needed the artwork for the sheets to finish them) and the sheets will be circulating among the author and the artists as soon as possible. The timing will vary based on their schedules. Once we have a better idea of when each artist will be done signing their sheets, we'll be able to figure out when this is going to the printer.

Thank you for your patience!

Just 74 versions of each book instead.. Just joshing, everyone has their own diff collecting traits, not sure what mine is yet, as not consistent regarding numbers or getting all firsts yet. But I have asked to match gwendys, just seemed right.

My reply from Mindy was that I may get my matching number if it isn’t a reserved number from a cd regular.

I know a couple of you expressed concern about the status of SLEEPING BEAUTIES, so I stayed late today and got to work on the promo photos of the Gift Edition and Limited Edition for the website using the final approval copies of the books.

I still have a lot of work to do, but here are some samples of my progress so far... These are *not* finished, but they're getting there... Mostly the Limited Edition so far. I'll work on the Gift Edition shots tomorrow if the office quiets down a bit.

That said, I might retake some of these... they really don't do the Limited Edition book and traycase justice... hmmmmm.... Well, I'll post them anyway for now.

That limited is beautiful, Brian. I wish I had liked the book better to warrant buying one. But the design is top-notch. Nice work, CD.

[Hunchback Jack]

I don't need numbers to match - I won't replace an unmatching series with a matching one, or pay a premium for a matched set, for example - but if a publisher offers to match numbers in a series, I will take them up on it.
