Sent you a message.

Thank you. I will reach out to Mindy as I have not received these offers.

When did this CDCC offer go out and by what means? I am a current member, have been a member in all but one year and I have received nothing.

This last year of the CDCC has been pretty subpar. Not much to speak about. But I know we're being promised that 2023 will be a better year for the publisher, but after the Southern Reach cluster (has this ever been officially acknowledged by CD yet??) I have a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

However, it's still $100 and I'll one day eventually maybe get a signed book out of it.

I'm supposed to be a budget, and that's proving really hard to follow for me, so even though it's only $100, it's a little hard to justify today. Tomorrow may be different though.

Hi Y'all.
I'm trying to decide whether or not to take CD up on the offer for the new discounted CDCC subscription or just wait until my current subscription ends. What are y'all doing?

Normally, isn't there some sort of extra incentive to join, like a monthly credit or somesuch thing?

I didn't jump on that right away, mainly because I had an unexpected $2,000 expense this week Still thinking about it.

The monthly credit is nice, but for me, the discounted gift certificates are where the real savings are. Last time they were available I bought a $500 gift certificate, and I just spent the last of it this week.

My chapbook arrived today. Very nice production, as always.

[Dan Hocker]

Also a point to mention since these are chapbooks, the majority of them are shipping via USPS First Class Flat mail. Which for US addresses does not actually have tracking.

[khaos]

It is. You may all get shipping notices but not actually see movement on them for a bit. I printed all the labels at once and am packing them myself as I have time from home while the warehouse guys work on shipping other things and prep for the arrival of Gwendy's Final Task.

Well that explains my shipping notice. I just figured stuff hadn't been picked up.

[pumpheel]

I did notice there was no tracking number so that makes sense.

Got mine today. Not a clue on what it will be. Anybody know?

If my memory is correct, it is a Richard Chizmar story.

I got a shipping notice for this today. Be interesting to see what it is!

Is it me or is CDCC membership becoming more and more worthless? Between eBay and the new "trick-or-treat" emails, they don't even offer rare/out of print books to the CDCC anymore. Moreover, the gift certificates bought in the past can't even be used to buy what they are offering since they circumvented that by only accepting PayPal/Venmo. I'm sure this is all an effort to raise capitol, but $100 yearly to get 15% a few books I don't even want is not worth it. Thanks for letting me buy cheap certs and store credit with little to spend it on and for early access to the latest King novel that's still 3yrs out. Rant over.

This has been the first of many years where I gave the CDCC a miss. The benefits that the club gave buyers have been getting poorer for a number of years. The exclusive book takes forever to appear, the various trinkets and clothing don't interest me and the small discounts on books aren't usually worthwhile. You'll pick most CD books up on ebay far cheaper and won't be paying years in advance.

The only incentive for me now would be the discount in gift certificates. I won't be purchasing any more of them though until the backlog of books I have preordered are delivered. Looking at the recent production updates it looks like that will be a long way away
