I've just noticed that Peter 's twitter profile picture is the follow.
Any idea of what it means?

I'd imagine "XLLLNT" may mean "excellent."
For the rest, I think he used some kind of typo/misspelling code thing (not really a code, more a way of writing) in either Lost Boy Lost Girl or In The Night Room that may instruct how to figure this out.

Julia - The Centipede Press Signed / Limited edition and the US 1st edition. This CP edition is absolutely stunning, and another exemplar of their leadership in small-press publishing.
That cover is cool, but unsettling
A gorgeous volume. Congratulations!
(And I do love me some Straub).
The complete short fiction Vol. 1 Short Stories and Vol. 2. Novellas published by Borderlands Press is still available for pre-order. The numbered is $120 and the lettered (which is still available as well) is $500. I also should note that payment isn't required until book is ready to ship.

I wish there were more details, but it seems like a decent set.

Yeah, details are pretty scant right now. I couldn't find anything on how it's being made or if there's any art.
They say it's two volumes, but I'm still not sure if it's all one book or separated into two.

The website lists dimensions as 8" x 12" x 4". Assuming the 4" is the thickness of the two books together, this would mean the front cover "footprint" is 12" x 8" - that is freakin' huge. Am I interpreting this wrong?
I'm actually more interested in this set because it's the only such comprehensive Straub short collection I've seen than for how nice it may be (if anyone is aware of a conventional (and conventionally priced) Straub short fiction omnibus, do let me know).
Does anyone have much experience with BP's work? Do they do nice work?

...also about Borderlands Press: I see they only charge upon publication (at least, their site says "Payment due on publication by either credit card or check") - does this mean that, when they say this (the numbered edition) will be published on Oct 31, they likely will hit that?
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Yeah, that does seem big - almost Secretary of Dreams big.
BP do solid work. They've published a few Straub titles that are nice, affordable signed editions. Nothing too opulent, but they are well-bound with nice paper stock, endpapers and illustrated dustjackets. I've ordered this set, and am looking forward to it.

Sounds good to me; thanks.

Be aware that BP’s Little Book series is riddled with typographical errors, among a host of other recent issues. I’m not saying that will also happen with the Straub set, but their track record when it comes to proofreading is less than stellar.
Oof.

FYI, the books are actually 9” x 6” (still not a bad size).

FYI, Straub is the only one signing these and wrote the introduction himself.

According to tonight’s BP newsletter:
Due to a recent hospitalization of the author for major surgery and treatment, delivery on this title may be delayed until he is available to finish signing the signature pages. We will keep you updated on further developments.

Centipede Press has two upcoming Straub productions:
In an 8/11/19 newsletter, Jared wrote:
Based on quick google searches, Douglas Smith does nice work, but Zimakov isn’t really for me.One of our upcoming projects is a new limited edition of Ghost Story by Peter Straub. This edition will have archival artwork, plus a new dustjacket by artist Douglas Smith and several two-color linocuts by Vladimir Zimakov, plus bonus archival materials. The edition will be 500 copies, printed on mouldmade paper with natural deckled edges. The anticipated price will be around $400 per copy, with a publication date of around early 2022. If you are interested in this book, please let us know.
In today’s newsletter, he wrote:
Although I’d sell a body part for a nice Shadowland, I suspect the production will be similar to that of Ghost Story - and the price as well, which will be beyond me. Still, nice to see these get some attention.Ghost Story and Shadowland by Peter Straub are both in development.
