Production Update Questions

[taost33]

THE JUDAS TREE is basically ready for the printer. Just need to find a slot for it among the other titles that backlogged during the printer troubles.

The round robin story was originally to be a chapbook, but we ended up with enough material to upgrade that to be a small signed Limited Edition hardcover instead. It is called SUNNY PINES and we got a great Alan Clark cover. I'm not sure if everyone has signed those signature sheets or not. I'll ask someone who is still going to the office to check.

I believe the plan is to get both printed together, hopefully this fall. A lot depends on how many more printers have to shut down for a while, and how paper supplies go this summer, etc.

Is this book "Sunny Pines" still being supplied to cdcc5 members as a signed limited hardcover? I see it has been released as a paperback.

Has the Stephen King grab bag started shipping out yet?

I’ve noticed this page has updated at least 4 times since the beginning of August, so thought I’d post the link here for anyone who hasn’t seen the progress being made on many projects…

Thanks for the update

So what’s up next in the shipping queue?

As best I can tell, the Stephen King grab bag should start heading out, plus Lifer shipments and GYE Night Parade are all near the top of the list. Even money, I'd bet on the grab bag!

Hey there! I can check for it directly, if you like. Almost all of our customer orders have shipped but there was as slight hold up for a few. If you can contact me with any order info I can look it up and get back to you ASAP!

Hi Dan, just replied to your message. Let me know should you need any further information. Thanks again for looking into this form me. You rock!

Hi Dan,

I received my shipping notice for Gwendy's Magic Feather on Monday 06/13; however, when I checked the tracking number this morning, Monday 06/20, it is still stating that " the shipping label has been created and that they are awaiting the item". Can you confirm if the book has actually shipped yet or not? I know that sometimes the shipping labels are created ahead of time and just want to make sure that I have a realistic expectation as to when the book may arrive. Any info is appreciated!

It's possible that the USPS didn't scan them at the CD end. Mine sat with the same status as yours until yesterday, when it showed up in the South Jersey distribution center. It's at my local PO today and will be delivered tomorrow.

Yeah, that's what I am assuming as well. Was just hoping to confirm that to be safe since its been a week. Am super anxious to see this one as it was one of my oldest pre-orders. Hopefully, I'll see some movement tomorrow! Thanks for the info!

Yes. Soon. We're just about done with Final Task. I have 2 or 3 other publisher books people have been waiting on that need to sneak out the door before the Magic Feather slipcases, then we're shipping those.

Hi Dan-
What does the shipping queue look like a month later? Any progress on GMF and Southern Reach limited eds and how about lettered Best of CD2 and Usher's Passing?

An update was posted yesterday that I believe addresses at least a couple of those:

[Dan Hocker]

The slipcase maker started on the GMF limited edition slipcase as soon as they were done with Strange Weather. Slipcase lead times are very long right now, but I would expect them to be done in the next 2 months hopefully. Hopefully they will start Southern Reach when they are done with GMF. Books for both titles are in the warehouse just waiting on the slipcases.

[sholloman81]

Hi Dan,

Now that Strange Weather is in the process of being shipped, do you have a better update as to when either The Southern Reach Trilogy Limited or Gwendy's Magic Feather Limited may begin shipping? Per the last update, I believe each of these titles was only waiting on the slipcases and that the slipcase maker has been working on them since October 2021. Any info is appreciated as these are now my oldest pending pre-orders with CD and I would love to be able to cross them off the list soon. Thanks!
