Seasons of terror still says 2045 on Amazon for the Gallery Books edition
So I guess that there are no progress on it?

Not for another 20 plus years

Hello CD!

I see you are making a slipcase for the US Edition of Fairy Tale.

Be advised that some were printed in the US...and some were printed in Italy.

From what I can see...there is an approximate 3mm difference between the two....with the edition made in the US being thicker.

Your slipcases tend to run on the snug side....if you use the Italian version to size the case....I do not think the US versions will fit!

Good info. Does it say printed in Italy? Or how else can you tell?

Thanks

Copyright page states printed in Italy.

[Br!an]

US edition states, "Manufactured in the United States of America" on the copyright page. No mention of italy.

Then you don’t have one that was printed in Italy.

Got my FAIRY TALE hardcover from CD today.
The e-mail said the slipcase WAS and WAS NOT shipping with it (on two separate lines).
There was no slipcase so I assume they are still on back order.
The book was a 1st printed in Italy.

Mine is arriving today. I was looking forward to it...now I am not.

it even states when you order the slipcase that it will be made aftermarket which means they can not even begin making them until they have the actual book in hand. do not expect the slipcase for at least six months. This is normal and not part of Cemetery Dance being late with stuff. Which they are, but that has nothing to do with when this slipcase will be released.
I have been collecting the aftermarket CD slipcases for my Stephen King books since FULL DARK, NO STARS. and I am used to this long wait. CD used to ship the book with the slipcase but this meant waiting several months for both long after the book was released. It was pointed out that customers would like to have the book when it comes out so they can read it, and then wait for the slipcase when it is finished. This is why you get the book now and the slipcase later.
the slipcase maker CD uses is short staffed and waaaay behind on these, I am still waiting for my LATER and Billy Summers slipcases. This is not cemetery Dance's fault but it does not help their already very tarnished reputation on top of everything else.
At the end of the day, I am happy to read my book now and wait for my slipcase, which will be used for my signed copy instead of the one i just got from CD.

Same here. The email literally said it was both shipped and back-ordered.

I assumed it was back-ordered since it wasn't in the box.

I just checked and it's an Italian 1/1.

I suppose that means the slipcase will fit this edition and not the US edition since the US edition is larger.

It's not CD's fault, but this whole Italian VS: USA first printing trade first is a mess. Technically speaking, they are both USA trade firsts, but physically speaking, they are differently sized.

[stroppygoblin]

I have seen reports of some people getting US printed 1sts from CD. Given the size difference between the US printed and the Italian printed editions, I anticipate another balls up with the slipcase not fitting the book that was sent.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I have a hammer, it will fit.

I have a hammer, it will fit.

I love your positive attitude and ingenuity.

Hopefully not a stupid newb question, where do you see if it is US or Italy?

[jwilkinson01]

I ordered my direct from CD, same thing, the shipping notification showed slipcase sent and not sent, but I didn’t expect them to have the case ready yet. I would hope the case fits the version they sent me.

It's on the copyright page. It will say whether it's manufactured in the US or printed in Italy.

"Manufactured in Italy" - I see it, thanks again!

Not sure why nor what has changed, but CD production page shows an update on november 11th (knowing we are the 9th...)

https://www.cemeterydance.com/production-updates.html


Still bugs me that the top general update still mentions may/june (months ago)

[shaq]

Has anybody seen any images of the Gwendy Final Task Signed Limiteds yet?

Would be nice to see them.

[herbertwest]

From the CD Production page, updated november 11th
"In pre-production and looking to a 2023 publication."

But it's true, I dont think there was ever any promo pictures
