I noticed tonight that Goldsboro still has copies of the Wool and Shift S/Ls for sale. Wool is 150 pounds and Shift is 60.

Probably canceled or returns orders. They were definitely sold out on the site at one point.Originally Posted by Scoogs
I have a friend in England who said he goes there all the time and they always have signed books that say they are sold out online. This is probably store inventory.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
That makes sense.
My Dust S/L arrived from Goldsboro today. I'll post pics in my collection thread later tonight.

Still trying to track down a 1st hardcover printing of the UK Dust - every bookstore I contacted is on later printings... :-(
That's really strange that no one seems to have a first in stock.
I hope VJ's copies of Dust are 1st printings. I preordered a signed copy from them months ago.
Mark Twain
It looks like VJ books has first printings of the Uk dust.

A note about VJ Books. If you are an international customer, it doesn't look like they ship in a box. Not sure why. Domestic shipping is bubble wrapped and in a box.
Thanks, but those are signed copies. I was able to finally track down an unsigned one on eBay.It looks like VJ books has first printings of the Uk dust.

Didn't realize you were looking for an unsigned copy. Glad you found one.
My signed 1st/1st UK hardcovers of Shift and Dust arrived today.
The front and back top corners are both bumped on Shift. Since the descriptions says "First UK edition, first printing, mint, new/unread in pictorial boards, signed by the author" I kind of expect a book with no corner bumps.
Am I overreacting, or should I exchange it for a new copy?
Mark Twain
IMO, that is not F/F or as new.

From sub press on twitter:
I'm hoping they release these as a 3 book set instead of individually.William Schafer @subpress
Happy to announce that next year we'll be publishing signed, limited editions of the Silo series by @hughhowey.
Cool!
Also zth ebig news from yesterday. Howey is coeditor and writer of a three books anthology called The apocalypse Triptych. Interesting idea, three states, before, during and after apocalypse and so we will get interesting stories. And all books give a nice scenery at the end....! For example Hugh Howey comes back to Wool and gives us new stories... Yeahhhhh!
That Shift is damaged and should be replaced definitely!My signed 1st/1st UK hardcovers of Shift and Dust arrived today.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
That's good news.
I agree about making it a 3 book set. That would just be easier.

My replacement copy of Shift arrived today.
Now all I have left on my list to get are the Wool and Shift "ugly" editions.
Mark Twain
The wools are hard to find. I think hugh said he had 500-600 of those printed.
Just got my signed copies from Hugh. They are just the regular softcovers but I'm ok with that. I'm hoping the US will publish them in hardcover at some point to match my Wool.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Sub press might be the only one doing a hardcover in the US. Hugh's contract with S & S was only for Wool and it doesn't look like anyone is real interested in a print only contract again.
Yeah, guess I'll just have to get the SubPress versions
I missed out on the Goldsboro versions at issue price... waited too long. I see they still have them but are too expensive now.

Signed copies of Sand are now available on Hugh's website.
Mark Twain
Got one
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Me too! I'm going to get the individual ones as well.
Ordered Sand. And I hope my copy of Dust gets here soon.
