Production Update Questions

[verkisto]

We certainly could have used it in a grab bag, that wouldn't shock me at all.

That's a possibility, too. I've purchased the ding-and-dent, end-of-2017, and Friday-the-13th grab bags.

Speaking of grab bags, has the New Forthcoming Grab Bag for 2018! set already shipped? I've REALLY lost track of my orders....

Long-time customer, first-time poster....

Last year, I signed up for a couple of clubs, Book Club #8 and the Collectors Club (not sure which number). Since then, I've received some books that I didn't order individually, but I don't know which book ties to which club. I was hoping y'all could help me identify the books and their clubs. Here's what I've received:

October Dreams II
Vacation
The Night Shop
Nothing Lasting
Dog Days o' Summer

My guess is that October Dreams II was the first of the Collectors Club (since I've found the titles of the next two in the series, and they're also anthologies), and the rest are from Book Club #8. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks!

The Night Shop - Book Club #8
Dog Days o' Summer - Book Club #8

I'm not seeing Vacation, Nothing Lasting, or October Dreams II in any clubs. That said my list isn't entirely complete, since when we remade it last we took off the older stuff. This said I do remember using both Vacation and Nothing Lasting in the "end of the year" grab bag in December, which I think you purchased. I wouldn't be surprised if we used some October Dreams II stragglers in that as well.

Excellent, thank you. That's a big help. Do you happen to know what the third Collectors Set book is? I found Halloween Carnival and Killer Crimes through the Production Updates page, but I haven't seen anything about the third book.

I don't think we've announced the title of the 3rd one yet, and I don't want to say the title I have written down in case it's wrong.

Fair enough, and thanks again. By the way, has the New Forthcoming Grab Bag for 2018! already shipped? As you can tell, I've totally lost track of all of these orders....

No the Forthcoming Grab Bags don't typically ship together. They'll ship individually as we publish the titles. You'll be notified what the title is before we announce it for sale to the public, so you'll know you're already getting it. I'm not sure where the titles fall in the printing schedule though, but I think they're all close if not ready to go, just a matter of working them into the schedule.

Speaking of book clubs...

I signed up for the 2014 book club and Book Club 6 and I know at least one of them had bonus books associated. Can I get a refresher on what those were?

I show book club 6 as being 6 books with no additional book. 2014 book club has an extra book titled Stephen King Limited. There was an update on 8/2/17 which said they expected it to be ready for the printer around spring of 2018

Yea Stephen King limited took a long time to get put together. Due to the nature of the book. I know I saw a paper print out of it the other day headed off to be proofread. So I think we're finally getting close on that one. We actually had to hire a photographer to go to a very generous super collectors home and take proffesional photos of all of the books.

Just a couple of the SO VERY MANY gorgeous photos in the book:

Wow, thanks for the preview. Looks like it will be well worth the wait.

I'm pretty sure that I should have a copy of the King book coming my way, and I'm pretty excited based on those pics. This is right up my alley!

Important SLEEPING BEAUTIES and NIGHT SHIFT production updates are going out via email and being posted on the website today!

Any news on the Forthcoming Grab bag? I don't think I've gotten one book toward that bag and I bought it in May. Just wondering where that stands.

You're talking about the "Forthcoming Grab Bag" and not the "Early Readers Forthcoming Grab Bag" right? The early readers one from may has all shipped already, and the more recent early readers one is just waiting for the arc to all arrive, I think 2 of the 5 are in the warehouse now.

For the Forthcoming Grab Bag, I'm not really sure what the plan / schedule for the printer is over November / December. I think all 3 titles are ready or just about ready, Brian can confirm and maybe provide more specifics. I would guess they will probably be in the first half on next year given the deadlines on some other projects that are at similar stages of production, but I'm not sure.
