Production Update Questions

[bookworm 1]

So this statement on the Production Updates page is not correct?:

"The plan is to make the official "public" announcement of The Stand and sell the remaining preorders after the book is rolling at the printer for a while."

What part of not certain do you not get? Most likely it is. Frankly while I understand everyone’s frustration with how long it’s been taking for books to get done I don’t understand why people just don’t ask for a refund and stop complaining. This is one of the reasons I have been avoiding the forum for a while. That and the Jeff word slam Cemetery Dance YouTube channel. Just walk away and let those who are patiently waiting and understand that things have not been on track wait for the books. Yes the gods of Suntup have been getting things out but they also are using materials that not a lot of other publishers are. I have been seeing that there are delays from other publishers more and more the last few months. I’m just really sick of all the negativity everywhere. Rant over!!

I am not certain it is rolling at the printers, but I believe it is prepped to go! ! believe they may space it out so we have Face in the Crowd come in and go a bit before The Stand comes in. When I have confirmation that it is running at the printers, I will try to post here!

Night Shift Lettered cases should start soon, I believe! Books are in and lovely, but that doesn't mean much until the cases are in. As for Flight or Fright I will ask around regarding. I believe it is still waiting for signatures, but I will check around to see for sure.

I keep getting word that the wait is for Stephen Kings signature. Which doesn't go on the artist edition of the book.
Confuses me as to why we have to wait so long for an artist edition to not get The Man's signature.

Has the "Flight or Fright" ever been signed. Think we have been waiting for that last signature for a couple of years or more.

Any progress on Night Shift Lettered?

Still no shipping notice at least for me.

Sent a response up above, but we're having technical difficulties printing the orders! I apologize, I am not sure if it's resolved or not. I know M and K have been working on it over the weekend

With The Stand sale just happening (congrats on the quick sell out!), can we assume that that book is now rolling on the printers?

Hi Dan,

Sorry to bug you again. Per your note, I still haven't received a shipping notice and wanted to reach back out to see if you have an updated eta for shipping the book. As always, any info is appreciated!

Our software has been weird about printing up orders for Pleasant Brook! I think the folks who work on that have it figured out, I know they've been spending hours and hours resetting each one manually. I'll let you know as I have more information! The books are here, the orders are all logged, it's just printing them up that is weird atm. Sorry for the delay!

The rest just arrived! I know there are a handful of slipcases to go out and sig sheet grab bags and whatnot, but I expect they'll be out within a week! If you've not heard anything by then, let me know and I'll start printing up orders and shipping them out when I get free moments

Thanks for the reply, that’s good to hear GYE are moving along. Just wondering if there’s any sort of timeframe now for the remaining 10 books in the Bentley Little bundle. That last update in 2017 mentioned the 11 books in the bundle would be shipped over the following 3 years. Five years later 1 of those 11 books has been shipped and sounds like number 2 of 11 might ship in 2023…is that correct? I’m just surprised that around 10 years after purchasing an 11 book bundle I’ve received 1 total book with no ETA I can see at this point of the remaining ones being shipped.
Thanks again for your reply here and all you do!!

Just a reminder that you can always ask for a refund. They should credit you for the remaining 10 books and issue the refund accordingly.

I will ask around if anyone else has a good estimation on time frame, but from what I can see we hit a pretty good stretch of Bentley Little books as every other or every third GYE for the next while, so they should be coming out 1-2 a year. I apologize for that enormous delay. Of the first 8 GYEs, only one is Little, but I believe they should all be done well before 30. 1 in 10 years is pretty alarmingly glacial, however and I understand the cause for concern. Please feel free to contact me here or via email for any updates on the GYE/Little stuff and I'll do whatever I can to keep you in the loop! (I'm not sure how much information regarding the GYE order I'm supposed to divulge)

Thanks for that info Dan! That's great news. Do you have any sort of eta as to when you may receive the rest of your copies of Horror at Pleasant Brook or when the book may ship? Am anxious to receive it but don't want to keep being a pest & bothering you too soon. Any info is appreciated!
