I like the way the matte jackets look, as I think certain colors show up better, but they are extremely susceptible to scuffing.

Now the obvious question: When should we expect the announcement for This Book is Full of Spiders?

Personally, I like both styles and it's good to see you guys trying different things!!

Got my copy in the mail earlier today, love the cloth boards, same design as the lettered edition, very classy. And overall I top notch book, but I'm not too keen on the dustjacket material, these matte jackets never seem to survive the trip to Canada very well. Mine has scuffs and bubbling. My edition of Carrie also was scuffed a bit, but not as badly. I much prefer the glossy jackets.

That's ashame. We actually like how the matte jackets look a lot, which is probably why a lot of our recent books have them.

No problem, Brian! Though I am by no means a great photographer like some of the other members are. My pictures really don't do the book justice, but hopefully folks will get the idea.

I am going to agree with a previous statement that a shelf full of these new lettered editions are going to look awesome:

Received my lettered edition today and it looks freaking great! Love these new lettered editions! I'll be posting pictures in my collection thread shortly.

Dan and I both think this might be our favorite so far. We're learning from each one we do and tweaking things a bit to make future Lettered Edition even nicer. I haven't had a chance to take any pics, so I'm glad folks will be able to see yours. Can you post one here with a link to the rest when you have them ready? Thanks!

My lettered edition is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Very excited for this one!

Hey now, Alan Smithee directed the best of all of the Hellraiser films (ducks and runs for cover, evasive pattern Delta 5).

[Robert Fulman]

Good to see Alan Smithee getting some work...

Just got an e-mail saying they begin shipping mid July. Woohoo!

In other JDatE news, Wong posted on Facebook and other social media that he's started writing the third volume in the series, though it won't be released until the end of next year.

Nice! Thanks for the update!

Is this still coming soon?

Yes. I know it and another book are getting close to being done at the printer.
