I ordered the 150.00 version because I'm a cold, scared child. :lol:
Ordered the s/l w/slipcase...I can live without Matheson's signature...
Has everyone recieved an email confirmation? I got the confirmation page, but no email yet...just wondering what other buying experiences there were...
I got the confirm email :rock:
I received confirmation mail inmediately.
I ordered two. One S/L of 150 and the other S/L 200 (with slipcase). :)

Thanks a lot to everybody for the information!

Hmmm....I tried to order another copy, and on both orders I got a confirmation page with an invoice number, but with some odd jumbled text and NO confirmation email...
I emailed them to let them know I had a problem...or maybe it went through, and I'm being paranoid!
I told them I heard about it here...give us a plug...
i hate to rain on everyone's parade...but....
take note guys and gals when i ordered mine this morning...
immediately after ordering mine, i got a "confirmation" of my order email.
however... pulling on past experiences... i sent a follow-up email to the publisher right after i got the confirmation of my order email, asking him to verify i had gotten the limited and lettered copies reserved in time.
he emailed back and said that my order was received and noted, but that they were snowballed with orders and that they wouldn't have it sorted out until much later today or tomorrow.
so... just because the order was confirmed, doesn't mean we all will actually get the book. it appears to me they are taking all orders, will fill what they have books for, and put the rest of the people on the waiting list.
so the books may very well have been sold out even before i got my order in. won't find out until tomorrow probably.
he said he will be sending out emails at that time to verify whether or not we really did get the orders in on time to get the books.
I ordered a s/n with slipcase. Would have loved to get a lettered but considering they take the money in January 2009, I'd be scared for my credit card after the xmas period. :scared:
Thanks for the heads up on this, I sure hope they all get in.Quote:

And I am too on the newsletter, as I own a lot of Gauntlet books, and I haven't received it yet. So hopefully we all should be ok, as there's been no official announcement for the book yet.
I hope we all receive confirmation.
I have an issue...my credit card expires in January 2009. I'll have to update the info with the renewed one if Gauntlet wants to charge it once it's expired. :(
I don't want to miss this book :(
yeah... mine expires in sept., but plan to immediately send gauntlet the new replacement # at that time.Quote:

I guess if they have more than 52 lettered ordered they will fill the first 52 who ordered and anyone else will be denied.
Same for the 1/750.
i assume the surplus people will be placed on a waiting list, since there is some time between now and when the payments will be charged... and people's minds change, financial statuses change, priorities change, wives find out, and some people even die (a happening often associated with their wifes finding out)...Quote:

So when will we know if we actually got it? Do they send an follow up email?

So, I think the e-mail announcing the book was done last night and if you are on Gauntlet's mailing list you should have already received it.
PLUS (some more inside info... :) )
Quote:
F. Paul Wilson has written a sequel to "The Distributor"; Joe Lansdale a sequel to "Prey." Whitley Strieber has given us an original novella inspired by Matheson's stories in general, while Richard Christian Matheson has penned a short tale inspired by "Legion of Plotters." John Shirley has created a sequel to "Somewhere in Time," while Mick Garris has offered a prequel to "I Am Legend." Lots more, too--Gary A. Braunbeck, William F. Nolan, John Maclay, Michael Arnzen, Thomas F. Monteleone, Barry Hoffman--and one or two surprises still to be announced!
I got an almost immediate confirmation email. Because there are 750 s/n copies, I'm sure I'm okay, but those who ordered the 52 lettered copies should verify ASAP.

I ordered the Lettered and the $200 edition.
By chance I was up late last night with family. Logged in before going to bed at 2:00 am and saw the newsletter. Wohoo!!. Good idea about verifying the order. I'll send them email now.
all I have to say is I better get one!!
Or one of y'all is selling me your extra copy!!!!!
I'll put in a personalization by Joe if you do!!!
Just got the message at 10:30 California time (at work) and placed the order late for the S/N $200 version. I hope it goes through!
Zack
Dr. Dawg, which edition did you order?
John
What's cool is that the guys are doing their take on 'Duel', which is my favourite Matheson short story, and also one of the best suspense movies ever, directed by Spielberg from Mathesons' own screenplay. Can't wait to see what they do with it.:)
That's not an issue...it said somewhere that they'll be checking in with people prior to charging cards...obviously, you won't be the only one in that situation.Quote:
