Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[Theli]

I can't get a great photo of this because it's a dark and rainy day here in Maryland and our office lighting is terrible for photos, but here is the REVIVAL slipcase. As I think I mentioned before, we used a special order iridescent material that we've never used for any kind of case before. The material looks blue in the first photo, which is the "default" color you'll see most of the time when you look at your case, but as the light hits the material from different angles, it flashes to purple as shown in the second pic:





These are on track to be finished at the slipcase maker and we hope to be shipping them in May.

Best,
Brian

I'm colour blind, it all looks blue to me!

It's a bad ass blue though

Still no shipping notice for my "13 Pounds" grab bags, and I'm off to Europe tonight for the next two weeks. If any of you who've ordered these can post pics or titles, would be appreciated.

Thanks!

With the exception of PORK PIE HAT (I think I have six of those), sounds like a good batch.

There are some base items that everyone gets and some items that vary from order to order. A few of the Grab Bags came in a few ounces short of the goal weight, so I said to give everyone Pork Pie Hat, too. . So for most orders, you could call it a bonus item. These should be almost done shipping, Dan can let you know on Monday.

I treasure each and every one of my PORK PIEs.

How about an ARC/Proof Grab Bag for the next one? Lots of us like 'em, and buy the Early Readers package... maybe you have a few boxes of the older stuff sitting around?

[goheat]

Ive just received the gift edition. I think some overseas customers may have received the s/l.

Limited Edition will be shipping later this month! There were problems with the traycases and they all had to be scrapped and made again from scratch.

What is the color book series? I haven't been on here in a while.
Also is "Dinner With the Cannibal Sisters by Douglas Clegg (S/L)" a good read. I have been wanting to get this but haven't as of yet.

[Kingfan24]

It's actually called the little book series and they are all a different color. This is the second series borderlands press has done. Joe hill has a confirmed title in the series so I am ordering the whole run through CD

Clegg is hit and miss for me but I really enjoyed this one.

Thank you guys for your answers.

Hi Brian,

I ordered the Carrie Signed Limited Edition Artwork Portfolio. This is my first portfolio, so I am not familiar with the size or packaging etc.

If it is mailed in an envelope or something like that, then I am pretty sure my mail lady will try to squeeze it into my mailbox, (I have a mailbox like Carrie's in the artwork). I ordered Cemetery Dance #72, and that was folded to fit into my mailbox, so wanted to know in advance if I should change the shipping to UPS (since they can't use my mailbox).

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, the dreaded "folded into a mailbox" problem is something we hate! Let me talk to Dan and Mindy about how these might be packed and shipped. This is a new size and style for us, so we have to plan. Thank you!
