I'm sure I'm not the only person who clicked on this thread thinking that it was a resurrection of some old thread for a publisher I'd never heard of!

Neat name

And it makes sense, given the direction and goal of the press. Bravo Brian - I hope it works out well

You are correct, you weren't the only one!

Nice Brian! Was part of your thought process that you would not print letterpress where your mission is to keep the books in such an affordable price bracket?

Yeah, essentially my goal is to put more money into the production than a larger company with more overhead could, so I can make the books as nice as possible while trying to keep the retail price accessible to more collectors. I have less overhead, which means I have a larger budget for upgrading materials, getting more artwork, etc.

Looks neat !

I am a bit confused with the idea of changing names. Already.
Is that because there are other editions that releases letterpresss printed books, or because the upcoming books will not be letterpress?

I am a bit confused, although I like the name and it was lucky that the domain and social media accounts were available!

To differentiate from other publishers that do letterpress books I think.

^^^^^ This. Short version: it was causing some confusion, and since I'm veering away from my original letterpress plans, it didn't fit the press anymore.

Thanks for explaining !

I see "Lividian" and my mind says "Leviticus."

Also, that ARC cover is pretty sweet. It would look great as an optional cover for the S/L, Brian. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Just made payment for my Revival Artwork portfolio. Should be on its way soon......I hope.
From what we've seen so far, looks like an amazing production, one that does the book proud.

Now I just have to ask: Brian, will you be doing a 20th Century Ghosts one as well??

No specific plans just yet, but it's something to consider.

I knew it! I was just going to type SK. But then folks would have thought I was talking about that other guy

oh wow, those review copies are beautiful! Will you be doing any giveaways or anything like that?

I've never received an ARC before. It'd be nice to have one of 20th Century Ghosts.

As a matter of fact, I'll be giving all of the extra copies away in September! I need to get through the Revival Artwork Portfolio shipping first before I can set that up, but it'll be some kind of super easy to enter deal. Please stay tuned!

Looking forward to the Lividian edition of 20thCG! I love that book. The ARCs look really cool too! I want one.

Sweet! Although i haven't bought 20thCG, i also would love an ARC. 😬

Something interesting I noticed, as I'm now going through this book for the first time:

My PS Publishing 10th Anniversary Edition ends with "The Saved," which is not in the Lividian edition. The latter, on the other hand, has "Bobby Conroy Comes Back From The Dead" in it, which is not in the PS edition. So both editions have an "exclusive" story. The PS edition also has the missing chapter from "The Black Phone," but since I thought that piece actually detracted from the original short, I won't miss it much.
