This is going to be a great addition to my library. Ordered the signed numbered edition and the signed trade.

As I have said before, October Dreams was the best thing to happen to Halloween since the pumpkin and this is even BETTER!!!

[bookworm 1]

Yes and the cover is great. How about a print with each book..

[RJK1981]

If I was good about reading books with all those stories I'd likely be ordering one, but since I am not good about that and some of authors included that I'd read the stories from aren't stories. I'm sure I will end up getting this at some point though, just not now.

Got in on this one, limited. This was a really cool idea, and I wouldn't have thought so, but I found myself enjoying the Halloween memories of Volume 1 nearly as much as the stories themselves.

[bookworm 1]

Me to. The Halloween memories were a great addition. I am sure they will be for this one as well.

Loved the first one, it was the book that brought me to Cemetery Dance, can't wait for the 2nd. I went for the signed/slipcased edition. hopefully I can get a matching number. Great news! And I second the poster idea!!! LOL!!!

I'm still very sorry I never knew about the first one till way after it was published.
I'm looking for a lettered with the portfolio, but so far I've only seen one come up on eBay...
Not sure why I let that one go. Too expensive probably
Still looking though.....

So, yes, when I read the notice about book 2, I just had to order it.
Yes, the lettered.
Now it doesn't say anything about a portfolio.
Dan?? Brian?? Anyone??

I also want a numbered, but hopefully PS-publishing will carry this book as well.
Can save on shipping/import duties.

I went for the signed limited. The lettered would have been nice but there is no way I could swing it. I got a little ambitious this year and might have stretched my budget a little thin. And by "might", I mean "yes, definitely". Been a great year for announcements for CD fans.

Of course, now that I bought the second volume, I need to track down the first. That's going to be a 2015 goal, I think.

Monkey I love that comment you made, "I got a little ambitious this year..." Holy hell what an awesomely understated way to explain the situation this company has enabled us to put ourselves in, as I'm right there with you.

[bookworm 1]

Me too. Between the Bentley Little books and the Stephen King Doubleday books...Well locking the two sets up set me back $600 plus .....but I know I don't have to worry about getting a copy of each and can now go back to saving for the next few books I have on my radar....No I am not saying what just yet... Every time I bring up something someone has to try and entice me right away so for now I am keeping quite.

[frik51]

Now will there be, or won't there be, a portfolio???

[bookworm 1]

Good question. I still think they should send a color print of the cover out with every order. It's beautiful.

Now will there be, or won't there be, a portfolio???
