Nice to see an update for The Exorcist. Looking forward to this in March...

Not to be negative, but isn't this a bit later than originally advertised? I'm just saying... I too am looking forward to it and I know it will be worth the wait!!! With CD it always is!!!!

Yeah, it planned for December, but the files from the New York printer were a mess so it required proofreading that wasn't in the original schedule, so now it'll be out in February. This one is from Lonely Road Books, by the way. Here is the update:

http://www.lonelyroadbooks.com/news.html

"The Exorcist: The 40th Anniversary Revised Limited Edition by William Peter Blatty was sent to the printer at the end of September 2012. Printing will take about eight weeks and the slipcases for the Limited Edition will follow approximately eight weeks after that, so we're looking at a February 2013 publication date. Traycases for the Lettered Edition should be ready in the first half of 2013 as well."

Oh, I'm very cool with that. I just really hate it when you guys kinda "Gloss" over the original Publishing date. Just say it, we may groan, but in the end we will appreciate the honesty!!! You guys do a wonderful job so, extra time is Understandable!!! Looking forward to this Tome!!! Thanks, Brian!!!!

Gotta remember the is a lot more art than originally planned too, so I'm not worried about the release date on this one.

Cheers CD!

As long as the book is beautiful and collectors are happy with it, I'll be happy in the end. Until the book ships, I'll just keep worrying about everything involved -- ha!

Brian,
Does there happen to be any extras of the 11/22/63 slipcase that came with the Uk edition of the book? I believe it was a tan colored/yellow color case? I have 2 copies of the UK book, one of each variant dust jacket, and I only have a case for one of them, just wanted them to match on my shelf. I checked the website but did not see them listed, but I thought maybe there were a few extras just hanging around the office somewhere.
Thanks
Rusty

If anyone else out there has one of these they would like to sell, let me know !

Nrither am I. You know how sometimes a thing just gets stuck in your head and you can't seem to let it go? That's one of the things that sucks about getting older!!! LOL

Brian,

I just bought on Ebay: Brian James Freeman - MORE THAN MIDNIGHT - Signed Limited Edition
... wondering if there is a Slipcase or Traycase available for this?

Someone told me The Painted Darkness slipcase fits okay, maybe a little loose, but I keep forgetting to try it myself!

http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/X_CASES12

Will try today and let you know!

Brian

Edited: Yep, just tried it and it is a little lose, but the fit isn't bad at all. Of course, the book and case colors aren't exactly right for each other!

[carbinworld]

Brian,

Thanks, I just bought one from Simon, so thanks to him too! I have both your books on their way to me, very psyched to read them. This will probably be as close to "knowing" an author as I get

Thanks,

Steve

I can confirm the Painted Darkness slipcase fits. It looks rather nice, also. It also fits the The Buffalo Hunter.

[DanHocker]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. And yes I was / am sick. Though I am mostly better now.

Hi Dan/Brian,

Any update when the Talisman/Black House in slipcase might ship?. I know the books are already out. Thanks.

Hi Dan/Brian,

Thanks for asking! We have the books in our warehouse, so that end of things is good to go! The poster should be finished at the printer later this month. The slipcases are supposed to be here by the end of February, but our manufacturer isn't back from the holidays yet, so I haven't gotten a production update. Based on how their December projects went, I fear it might slip to March, but we'll send out an update as soon as we know.

Did everyone see our update last month about the print runs and pricing? I thought this was kind of cool:

1) We’ve learned that Scribner only printed 2,250 copies of The Talisman and 2,660 copies of Black House. We’ve purchased 400 of those copies, so there will only be 400 of our slipcased sets ever produced.

2) Scribner raised the price of each hardcover to $40 right before publication, but we’re not changing the price of this set, making it an even better deal! ($80 retail value for the two books.)
