Looking forward to Monday’s announcement!

I just got the email about LPP selling copies of Dracula by Amaranthine Books.
I highly recommend this edition. It is one of the most beautiful and unique books in my collection. Here is a detailed post I wrote when I got my copy, along with a lot of pictures of the book's interior.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Don't want to derail the LetterPress Pub thread too much, but I agree, I bought one too last year. A few points you didn't point out in that post are: the illustrations are glow in the dark, the endpapers are also soft to the touch, like velvet, and it also comes with a stake shapped bookmark. I didn't notice the engravings inside until your post. I have #21.
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L
That's not the edition advertised today though, with an /666 limitation. Doesn't look like its signed either, so is today's like a Gift Edition?
WANT LIST: Any SK #186; Dark Man Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Black Tape Spine Proof; FDNS Unbound Color Proof
I have that edition too. Its pretty nice also. It is slipcased rather then traycased, the slipcase is very nice, has a wood texture to it. No signature/limitation page though. No dirt either.
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L

Yeah, it's nice but not $339 nice, not for me anyway. I do like that dirt version, cool idea.
WANT LIST: Any SK #186; Dark Man Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Black Tape Spine Proof; FDNS Unbound Color Proof
Is it Monday yet?
I love it!
Edit: fantastic choice of artist, too!
Preorders are live a bit early. Got mine locked in!
I'm very pleased to announce the next LetterPress Publications signed and slipcased Limited Edition hardcover is 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill, which we're offering as a “Preorder Only Limited Edition,” meaning the orders received between April 6 and April 30 will set the print run.
This special edition includes a brand-new introduction by Christopher Golden, new story notes by Joe Hill, and seventeen full-color illustrations by Vincent Sammy.
This is the first of several projects by Joe Hill that LetterPress Publications has in the works, and the print run for this book will set the print run for the others.
If you have any questions, please let me know! You can order through our website and also from a bunch of great retailers who could really use your support given the state of the world:

Just pre-ordered and I love that it is going to be the first of a few Joe Hill books. Is there a lettered edition and are they Patreon member only?
Love it. Ordered it.

Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-

There is a Lettered Edition, which has been offered to those who purchased the REVIVAL Lettered Edition. I'm sure there will be some copies left since some of these collectors only collect King or just wanted REVIVAL, etc, so I'm trying to decide on the best way to offer those remaining copies.

Never mind... just placed my order. Looks amazing.
Brian, I just gotta shout: YOU ARE KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK! I love all the choices you're making with respect to titles, art, design, materials, intro/notes, extras, etc. You're super-communicative. You're keeping to a schedule. And you're not asking for upfront investments for promised delivery later. It's as if you've taken the best aspects of all the small publishers and melded them together. Kudos!
Alright, we'll call it a draw.
Ordered. Looks amazing, and great to hear there will be more Joe Hill projects coming.
(Also note that some other presses have it available for preorder as well)
