Production Update Questions

[Brian James Freeman]

Will it be a longer wait for Usher lettered traycases?

Traycases always take longer, but I'm hoping they'll be done this summer. Mindy is the one who chases the traycase maker, and she confirmed for me today that this one is with him now.

The slipcases for Usher's Passing were due in May but have actually been finished early and will ship to us next week. (A miracle!)

Yay! I know it will be a little while yet before they ship but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Dan -- Any idea when CD may have slipcases for If It Bleeds? ~Cap

Some replacement slipcases for Night Shift to replace the ones that had been damaged in the original shipment are on the way to us right now. The slipcases for Usher's Passing were due in May but have actually been finished early and will ship to us next week. (A miracle!) So, If It Bleeds is the next one on the slipcase maker's list. Their already long production times REALLY stretched out last year due to the social distancing measures they had to put into place, but we're hopeful things are headed back to normal soon.

Good question. I don't know where that's at in the production schedule. I will point Brian here.

The shipping queue isn't really all that slow, it's just those titles keep getting bumped for what we deem more pressing things. Specifically Shipping of those got bumped for Later and Borderland's Little Silver book. Chart of Darkness has been shipping this week and should be done shortly. Then we're going to ship our copies of Hope and Miracles from Guantlet before starting on Little Girls.

I understand the situation, it was just a gentle nudge to see if we can get another shipping update

That shipping queue sure is slow, Dan! Been a month waiting for Night Eternal, Home, Cold Dead Hands, Chart of Darkness, and Little Girls to hit the front of the line.

Let’s see??? There’s a pandemic and last I heard Dan was working short staffed. Think those are reasonable excuses.

I see the subtitle and description of Shocklines has been updated it's not an absurdity. Any chance this means it might be heading to the printer soon?

Ah. Okay, that explains it — thanks.

Good to hear it’s another winner — really looking forward to it. I find Strand’s work to be compulsively readable, and always have a good time with it.

I read the ARC a while back and loved it!

It should be as that was part of the 2020 book club. That's probably why you saw a copy on eBay already. I believe it was the January book and because they were slammed with so much coming in at the same time they sent 2 books out at the same time to the book club . Cold Dead Hands and Home. So the single orders should be shipped soon I would imagine. Its a great book. The art work is pretty good as well.

Dan, how about Jeff Strand’s COLD HANDS? I see a copy of the S/L HC that somehow landed on eBay, but have heard nothing about the copy I have on order. Are copies shipping soon?
