Production Update Questions

[Martin]

Sitting in the warehouse next door. The orders are printed and ready to go. Just pushing through the 2 for $20 no tip grab bag, and the 2 for $20 sale from last week before we start shipping. Should be shipping by Thursday I think.

So the CD warehouse is next door to the end of the road.

With February almost over just checking in on The End of the Road.

What's the status for the slipcase for The Institute?

It's at the case maker, not sure what the turnaround time on that is though, so I'm not sure when it'll be done.

Received City of Mirrors today. A lovely book. I guess I forgot to make sure my matching number was locked in for it. Of course it's been awhile so I really don't remember. Anyway it's a fantastic book. I love The artwork. Another great production.

I hope they make it right for CD. It should have been quoted that way. They owe you folks a deductive change order.

Yeah, the printer. This one went to our new printer that for us is essentially replacing the two printers that closed the other year, and they missed the ribbon. Unfortunately, the ribbon is not an aspect of the production where we get something to approve ahead of time like bluelines for the interior or the DJ, or stamped boards to check the stamping, etc, and we can catch a mistake. When they miss something like the ribbon, we don't know until it's too late.

Definitely a mistake. We're not 100% sure where that mistake came from though, us or the printer. I'm leaning towards the printer as I'm pretty sure it was on the spec sheets.

Hi CD,

Any updates yet on when the next title in the "2018 Forthcoming Grab Bag" may be announced? I believe only one title has been announced so far. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!!

I think at this point we're hold off on announcing them until we actually get them going at the printer. Hopefully soon, I'm pretty sure they're either ready or just about ready to go. Just gotta work them into the schedule I think. (don't quote me on that though, it's really more of a Brian question)

Hey guys - Just received "City of Mirrors" - it is beautiful, but I have a question. Why no ribbon page marker like the two previous books in the series? Was it a decision or a mistake?

Any idea when you'll be shipping the ARC grab bag? thanks.

I don't know the exact date, but I do know Dan already has the first two review copies tucked away in a safe place, and the other three are due to arrive in March.

Looks like Zach finished up shipping City of Mirrors this morning. He's been working his way through some small other publisher projects, and then we'll be on to shipping Head Full of Ghosts later this week. If I did my math correctly I believe there are roughly 4 extra copies of Head Full of Ghosts, so if anyone missed out and wants one, shoot me an email.
