Production Update Questions

[Sock Monkey]

I saw that email from CD as well and am very close to pulling the trigger as I've always enjoyed Hodge's work, the price is very fair at $60, and that cover artwork is very cool. One question that I have, and maybe I'm blind, but did you notice a limitation for the book listed anywhere on the order page? I saw that they listed it as a LE and mentioned it being a one-time printing but I didn't see the number of copies anywhere. Just curious.

No, you are correct. I did not see a limitation noted for the book, either.

Don't really know where to post this and don't know if I want to start a thread, but I am very excited about the new Brian Hodge collection that CD just announced. I'm bummed that this might be his last, but will happy to have this in my hands once it's published.

Just received my Billy Summers slipcase. Glad to finally have this in-hand as, excluding the Double Day books, it was my oldest pending pre-order. While I hate that it took over 3 years to produce, it did turn out fantastic and might be the best-looking S. King slipcase that CD has produced so far. The color really pops and the design on the front fits the book well.

I keep meaning to ask Mindy for a list of what they still owe me, and maybe get a refund...some of this stuff seems like it'll just never come out. I don't even know how a refund would be possible on things like the collectors club exclusive hardcovers and things like that. I used to snap up every CD offering like candy, but I have completely lost faith in them being able to deliver on anything in an even remotely timely fashion anymore.

I recently received a refund via Mindy for many hundreds of dollars for books preordered years ago. I gave up. CD is not trustworthy. No more preorders or Collectors Club. Danny - I am going to be asking Mindy about those CD Club books soon. Should be interesting.

You guys made me check. My oldest undelivered order from CD is 'Shocklines: Fresh Voices in Terror' which was ordered February 23rd, 2007. The title changed long ago to 'Shocklines: An Anthology of Terror. At one point I was ordering from CD at least once a month. At this point I do not believe I will ever be a regular customer or CD again. They have developed a complete lack of communication. The website provides no reliable information, and they are basically a paperback publisher at this point. Hopefully I will get the books I have on order but to be honest, I am basically ignoring CD at this point.

This is why I just refuse to do pre-orders any more, especially from CD. They have books on the docket that I proofed almost two decades ago, including some that I don't even think have been announced. It's just insane.

I've been ordering the slipcases, and the portfolios for The Stand and Pet Semetery, but apart from those, the last book I ordered was Gwendy's Final Task S/L on 4/12/21.

I just counted, and I'm waiting on 23 CD orders going back to 2010. I'm waiting for them to catch up before ordering anything else. I may be dead by then.

I ordered mine on 8/25/15, so more like 9.5 years for me. I know some people ordered in 2014.

Just bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.

Seeing pictures of The Stand and getting the label printed notification for the Billy Summer slipcase were both pleasant surprises. Figure by the time The Stand actually ships, that pre-order will be just at 7 years from order to receipt.
