It might be the third Gwendy signed/numbered book.

It figures that Johnny Smith would know that...

Back in April, King was signing for Gwendy's I am going to start a rumour and say there is a new project he is signing for CD!!!!!!

Hi Brian & Dan,

When will The Night Country ship?

What is the status of the Flight or Fright lettered? The production page update is old where the lettered is concerned.

Thank you

Soonish I think on Night Country. We're finally through the long slog that was If It Bleeds Slipcases followed by Billy Summers. We're powering through some smaller less time consuming shipping projects right now, Night Country is one of those on the list. Based off of what I want to get shipped before we tackle that one, we'll probably be shipping that next week.

On FB this morning, Richard Chizmar had a post saying that you could win a signed copy of one of his books. Just email him for details. For kicks, I did. So, go figure, in the email I got back, all I have to do is email a receipt of his latest novel and I’d get a signed copy of something else.

How did I not see that coming?!?

[Cook]

Wow.. what a piece of work.
Just out of curiosity, did that include free shipping (anyone want to take odds on this one)
... I'm going to guess no

There also seemed like a lot of hoops to jump through for the Boogeyman promotion/contest as well. I hope someone ended up with some good prizes. I prefer the K.I.S.S. method when it comes to things like this.

BRIAN!!!!!!! Whose idea was it to post pictures on the production update page? Simply brilliant! Alot of updates posted on the CD site, Including a verify email address on the Best of Cemetary Dance 2!!!!!!! The Stand update, Strange Weather, LETTERED NIGHT SHIFT!!!!!

At the time the doubleday books started I could not affort the lettered copies, please sell me your copies. Night Shift LOOKS amazing. The Shining is my favorite book! And of course I would love a copy of the STAND.


WELL DONE ON PRODUCTION UPDATE PAGE!!! WELL DONE!!

[Brian James Freeman]

Thank you! More photos and updates to come in October.

Happy to hear Strange Weather will have interior art and not just illustrated covers. Looking forward to it.

I guess they'd be eating money by doing it all the time but I liked the approach for "buy the book on Amazon and we will send you the equivalent cost in CD credit". It helps their Amazon sales and you get a "free" book in the process. I ended up doing it for the second Gwendy book and Boogeyman.

Me, too. I was glad that addition got approved.

Agreed; this is nice.

Does anyone have any info on this:



It doesn't have a limitation page, but I can't find anything about any other hardcover editions. Was there an unsigned HC release?

[Tony Two-Cent]

From the product page for this issue on the CD website:

"Signed hardcover Limited Edition limited to only 100 numbered copies signed by several of the contributors. ($75 + shipping)"

https://www.cemeterydance.com/grave-...sh-garton.html

I think all of the hardcovers were signed, unless there were some unsigned PC copies.

[daniel_pyle]

Yeah, that’s all I was able to find, but this one doesn’t have a signature page, signed or otherwise. I wondered if maybe it had been ripped out, but after looking closely at the gutters, that doesn’t seem to be the case either.

I'm guessing it was a "no tip" that never had a signature sheet. Dan just took this pic for easy reference to show what would normally be in there if it had a sig sheet:

Brian

Thanks, Brian. That must be it! I got it for $13, so I figured it was a cool find no matter what, but I was just curious what was going on. Are the no-tips made as some kind of mock-up or something?

They're the extra books at the end of the run, basically. Sometimes the printer runs out of signature sheets because of damage with the sheets or some other problem during the printing process. We use these "no tips" copies as sample books, and we send them to any reviewers who are late to the show after the review copies are gone, and they also go in Grab Bags.

My friend would like to know if the signed Gwendy books have tipped in signature pages or bound in at time of publication. Thank you!

Yeah. I have one of these that I got in a grab bag (last year, I think)

Good to know. Thanks for the quick answer. And thanks to Dan for the picture. You guys are the best!

Which signed Gwendy books are you referring to?

Signed limited. With king and Chizmar sigs. He was curious if sig pages tipped in or done at printers. Thanks!

Tipped in but by the printer. All of our sig sheets (at least all the ones that I can think of) are tipped in that way.
