Production Update Questions

[Dan Hocker]

No worries, it happens all the time with that one!

Brian

Yea let's never do that again.

It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Actually, it's very creative. But you have to realize some of the dumb (ME!) collectors you're dealing with!

We’re very pleased to report the “bluelines” and “dust jacket proofs” have arrived for SLEEPING BEAUTIES and everything looks great. In addition, our slipcase and traycase makers have adjusted the case sizing a tiny bit based on the new dummy book and they are hard at work on the cases. We’ll post another update in January when we have a little better idea of when the printer will be finished with their work. Thank you again for all of your patience and support!

No rush, but are there any updates yet regarding the "Forthcoming 2018 Grab Bag"? Wondering when it may ship or when the books included may be announced. Any info is appreciated. Hope everyone at CD had a great holiday!

Had to look which titles are in that one, but I actually believe all 3 are in our close or ready to be sent to the printer. I think it's probably just working them into the schedule, I'm sure Brian will correct me if I'm wrong. Each title in the grab bag will ship individually, and you'll be notified when we announce one of the titles so you don't accidentally order it again.

Any chance CD will be producing more generic slipcases that fit the non-traycased lettered editions?

Generally we only produce them when there's a book that calls for a case, but the case doesn't need to be stamped. There's probably extra cases from The Listener, those will probably make it onto the site at some point. I know there's some other cases in the works, but I can't remember if they are stamped or not.

Any idea when the three signed limited editions will ship that were part of the New Forthcoming Grab Bag for 2018? This was something offered in May of 2018.

I would say the odds are good that all of those will actually be 2019 books! They're all pretty deep in production, there's just a logjam in front of them due to the lost time last year due to the printer that went out of business.

Thanks Brian! A surprise delivery from Borderlands made me wonder what else I might have lost track of. So blame Tom!

Any idea on when Dark Screams will be shipping? I gleefully ordered the S/L hardcover back in November of 2017 and the product page says "Forthcoming in 2019". Do you know if it will be soon, or later in the year?

Someone in the know may be able to tell more but this is the update from the website:

Dark Screams edited by Richard Chizmar and Brian James Freeman:
This book is proofread and ready for the printer, although we'll do another round or two of proofreading to be safe while we wait for the signature sheets to be signed.

Thanks, Martin. I was unaware of the "Production Update" page on the website. I just now discovered it after I read your post.
