I hope no one is jealous of my fancy cardboard backdrop...

Case in point to things getting signed/drawn. Tabitha King. I just double checked the production update for Caretakers and it hasn't changed from "author having time to sign" This November will be three years since that order was placed but who's going to take the chance of pissing her off? I'm sure that's a line no one wants to cross and understandably so but three years?

Why not move forward without her signature and adjust the price accordingly unless the contract prohibits that option? She's either on board or not but to hold up production for more than two years is inexcusable unless she is not in good health.

Well...you might get a lot of cancelations if the book is not signed.

I can't speak for others but if I liked the book enough to be interested in a limited edition and the choice was between getting an unsigned version in the next 6 months vs the likelihood of never getting a signed version I would go for the sure thing.

[Ari_Racing]

It's a fair choice.

HA! I won't ask you for a copy of that cardboard backdrop...yet.

But I'm really, really happy to see the books there. I've been hoping for a book with illustrations by Mark Stutzman for a long time, and this one looks incredible.

By the way, I sent you a PM

[jeffingoff]

this one looks incredible.

I agree this looks so so so good! It'll be my only edition of Night Shift as well. The only other edition I've ever owned was a paperback (the one with the die cut eyes on the over) that was destroyed in a basement flood. So this can't happen soon enough for me.

That's what you get for keeping your book in Gerald's basement.

How long would it take to sign a stack of papers that you agreed to sign? A weekend? A month?

I get that they are busy people, but ...

[St. Troy]

I have a water-swollen paperback of The Stand (with the cool blue/black cover combining a face and a bird). I kept it because A) it is the only copy I've ever owned of the original version, and B) it is hilarious in appearance. Strangely, I have no idea how it got wet...

That is ridiculous. I concur

Hey Brian, quick question:

Is there any chance that CD will publish an edition of Max Brooks’ new “found footage” novel Devolution, to go with World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide? Are there any current plans to do so, however premature?

Thanks!

Nothing I can comment on at the moment, unfortunately! We're focusing most of our energy on the overdue preorders, and anything with contractual publication dates of this year, plus catching up on some other projects. Thanks for asking, though!

I've been working to plug the holes in the "Guest Essays" section of Stephen King Revisited, and I liked JD Barker's ROADWORK essay so much that I went ahead and posted it on the website as well:

http://www.stephenkingrevisited.com/...by-j-d-barker/

Richard has plans to continue the site once he's done writing his new book, by the way. I'd love to see that happen because it was a lot of fun to work on.

Best,
Brian

that's a great essay!

Hey, Brian.

I know you can't give any set dates, but regarding Usher's Passing. The update still says a 2020 publication date.

Do you still stand by that estimate? Late 2020 probably?

That's what I'm hearing, but I'll post when the book goes to the printer!

I know we still have The Stand up next after Night Shift, but I'm really looking forward to see what CD does with Pet Sematary.

We've never had a proper limited edition of that book. (I don't count PS' edition) I know it's still years away, but I'm sure CD will do it justice.

PS still did a limited SO you have to count it. Now... I do think CD will do a better one. They have always been SO secretive over PS.... not sharing any details. I have always (AND STATED THIS) maintained that it will be a signed by King edition. I think it will cap off the set beautifully and be VERY coveted as it will be the first S/L of the book. And will go nicely with a matching set. I hope I am right.

I posted somewhere (here? There?) that for Pet Sematary they should change their logo on the slipcase or dust jacket to SD and spell their name Sematary Dance. That would be fun. And who doesn’t like fun?

Was bidding on a Sleeping Beauties Gift edition but once it got over $100 that's when I pulled out. The winning bid was $122.50

I know sometimes it can be had for under 100 so I'll still be on the lookout.
