CEMETERY DANCE COLLECTORS CLUB

[Dan Hocker]

Honestly I'm surprised we even did one for Full Throttle.

There are some folks out there who only make cases on an individual basis, no bulk orders... I've thought about contacting one of them to finish my Joe Hill books. It always slips my mind and then I forget who they are, though! I want to make a list at some point since readers do ask about getting custom cases made for their collection!

I have seen those and have considered them, may someday order them, but I like the way Cemetery Dance makes the case look like it was designed for the trade edition rather than a generic case.

Please keep doing them going forward!

Unfortunately, we did some experiments with this with a few older books by another author (nice fellow from Maine named Stephen King!), and we just *barely* reached the minimum run needed for it to make sense to produce the cases.

So, looking at the numbers, we realized we'd have to charge significantly more for these "late to the market aftermarket" cases, and as the price goes up, sales probably go down... which creates a bad cycle.

I wish we could do a little better with these slipcases for earlier books because I'd love to have a nice, full set of Joe's work like that!

This dude that goes by BJF is doing some Hill books I hear with slipcases

Jeff Whiley over in England makes some pretty nice custom cases but probably more on the generic side. Plus you'd need to order several to make the shipping worthwhile. Great guy though, he's made quite a few for me.

Is anyone doing the latest CDCC announcement?

I can vouch for Jeff also. I really like his cases and own a few myself.

I believe there is a guy that does them stateside that I read about over on TDT. Heard he can be quite the ass though. My loyalties are with Jeff.

I think it's a really cool offer for a really great cause. But alas, I am poor...

I have seen photos of Jeff's cases and agree they are generic. May opt for them on the Hill trades though. How much does he charge for the cases?

Easy pass for me.

I believe they are about $15-$16 US. He can ship 5 or 6, depending on size for about the same amount too.

[Splync]

Ditto.

What if a group of us go in together? We'll do it Mad Libs style! ;-)

Well that is indeed much cheaper than I thought. I may just have to go with his. I would need at least 5.
