    ***UPDATE TIME!***
    Alrighty, this has been a long time coming:
    Stand slipcases for the gift edition have a tracking number and are en route our way!
    FINALLY.
    I know that it's been a bumpy ride and the traycases for the AE are gonna take a little while longer, but I fully anticipate the warehouse descending into absolute chaos after getting slammed by that volume of project so hopefully they will be coming along as the Gift Editions start finishing up.
    The lettered editions have found a rebinder, but still need a bunch of pieces.

    The Stand art set sig sheets are signed and the remarques are underway! These ones are super deluxe sig sheets.
    I anticipate a Stand folder coming out in the previous style when we finish up with Pet Sem's art

    Got the next set of three books in from the limited printer. Had a discussion with them about their binding being ornamental (too thick) and us needing it to be a bit more reader friendly.
    The samples they've shown look vastly improved, so back rolling on that front with three more going out.

    One of the books is going to be a "A Good Story and Good Words" which is our second most long-overdue book, I believe? The quest for my white whale that is Shocklines continues! Interview with the Vampire slipcases should be shipping.

    Holly slipcases are underway. Getting spec files out today. I know Fairytale is technically expected first, but after Lividian made those GORGEOUS limited slipcases that also fit the trade, we deemed Holly a higher priority.
    We are using a different manufacturer as the previous one was part of the delays for The Stand and I don't want to wait until 2026 for Holly cases.

    The next book in the Graveyard Edition series is underway! This one is not a Bentley Little title. Got the greenlight from our side, currently getting specs and whatnot over to the printer who manufactured the previous ones. They're sometimes a bit sluggish in communication, but they deliver great product.
    The next Bentley Little trade hardcover is beginning its steps toward coming to life as well!

    Annual April Product Update Page Review is still on course, which should give an update on each project still on the list and where it stands. Is it inconclusive and only marginally useful? Yup. But it does give a checklist on which we're chipping away! There's currently some Stand case updates going on up there, I believe.
    Thank you so much, as always!

    Pet Sem is up either after GFT lim (currently underway) or Gwendy Omnibus! Im looking forward to it so much. PS is my favorite King book, one of my all time favorite books, and the last of the Doubleday set! Which means those delays will all fade into memory!
    That being said, im hoping for late 2026, but not got a confident voice on the feasibility if both Gwendys go first as they need slipcases etc

          Just saw the updated production page (Thanks Dan). Glad to hear that the Stand will begin shipping this month!

            That is exciting news. Maybe I'll get one in the aftermarket if the prices aren't crazy.

                That's good to hear! I ordered the Kris Webster/Francois Vaillancourt special edition, so I have that to look forward to.

                      Hey gang it's been a long time since I've walked these damp dark halls. I got my copy of The Stand and I recommend that everyone give it a thorough inspection. I had at least one instance of ink transfer (where the type from one page was transferred to the opposite page--you can see it in the video near the end). After such a long wait, and with all the drama surrounding the Todd Keisling royalties, and the botched artist credits on the copyright page and dust jacket, I just don't have the energy or desire to deal with asking for a replacement. It feels like I caught a unicorn and I don't think I want to risk losing him because he got a little ink on his flank.

                      Feel free to watch my melancholy unboxing to see the defect. But the above point is really the pertinent point I wanted to make. All the love in the world for Dan, Mindy, and Lisa here.

                        Hey, Jeff! Nice to see you pop up around here again. Thank you for posting the video and the heads up about the ink transfer. I'll make sure to check my copy upon arrival.

                          I miss this place and all its denizens!

                          I really hope my copy is an isolated or rare case. I imagine how impossible it is to search page-by-page over 4000 copies for defects. Hell, I haven't even perused the rest of my copy. And things like this are bound to happen.

                          Overall, it is great to have the edition on my shelf finally. Sad that Ned Dameron didn't live to see it.

                            jeff - you did what I did when sharing my book - 7 years, 4 months, 4 days

                            Two thousand six hundred eight-one days.

                            I'll have to check out my copy for any issues. My Salems Lot had the map inserted upside down and I never swapped it. Too much trouble so chances aren't good I'd swap this if there were any issues.

                                Same. I recall getting mine a bit late, at a later offering, so I suspect I'm down the queue a bit, unfortunately.
