Production Update Questions

[jeffingoff]

Looks like Fracassi had to cancel a L.A. signing yesterday because the books were not available / did not arrive:

Yeah I saw that after I posted here, so I guess I got my answer.

Wondering if Gothic has started shipping.

Not quite sure where to post this question. Do you have any idea when King of Shadow will ship from CD?

Thanks

Hate to ask but is there any update?

Hi Dan, Any new updates on the Billy Summers slipcase yet? If not, no worries!

No proper updates! It has quite a line in front of it before it sees the light of day, sadly

[sholloman81]

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

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)

Okay thanks for the reply! I have all the GYE books so far and love the design. I'll keep an eye out for any news on the future releases, including any Bentley Little ones. At this point I'll definitely collect them all, especially given when the Bentley Little ones finally ship I'll have already paid for them!

That made me remember something my Mom said to me once and laugh. Probably over 25 years ago my Mom came to me and said she spoke for me when she probably should not have. I cousin, whom I was childhood friends with when I lived in Southern California had moved up here and lived about 25 miles from me. She lives in the Columbia gorge and my Mom would sometimes ask me to drive her up to visit them. I guess she was in Portland for something and visited my Mom. My Mom was nearing 80 and getting frail. My Cousin asked her who would pull together the family when my Mom passed and specifically asked if it would be me. My Mom, who like me had a general rule of 'If you don't want the answer to a question, don't ask' told her without hesitation 'No, you will probably never hear from him again when I pass.' The cousin looked shocked at the response and my Mom thought 'should I have not said that'. I informed my Mom that if the Cousin was relying on me to pull together family gatherings what my Mom said was accurate and not to worry about it. A few years later my Mom passed. The cousin was at my house for the celebration of life I had for Mom and we have not spoken since.

Your statement reminded me of my Mom and put a smile on my face. Thank You!

Love that story. Truth is uncompromising.

But Moms know everything LOL!

Yes. They are.

They are utterly ridiculous. I only own one and it was forced on me.

I am very hard to tolerate. I just moved 10 hours away from the city I called home for 50 years and all my mother said was "Keep in touch." So I wouldn't even say I'm an acquired taste. But even I know Funkos are shelf pollution.

But Moms know everything LOL!

Yes. They are.

Jeff, I suspect you are probably a bit of a pain in the ass, but who isn't LOL! I enjoyed your 2022 bookshelf tour. I share your feelings about funkos.
