I just wish that if the bonus material couldn't be produced in the 4 1/2 years of production time that CD would have found a way to replace it with something else (interior art, essay from another author, etc.). Am still happy to have this book as this is one of my favorite authors; however, I was hoping for something extra special, especially at $150 price point which felt high-end for CD back in 2018. Those are practically Suntup AGE prices and Suntup would have included a bunch of art or other extras beyond a new dust jacket and sig.

VanderMeer did share a little perspective in a comment on my unboxing:

Kind of a bummer of a situation. They up-sold, then delayed, and then under-delivered. I don't have any skin in this game but I hate when things like this happen.

I don't use Facebook; so, I cannot go see for myself; however, I would have loved to have read Vandermeer's comments about this edition, just to have another perspective. If you do receive a response to your comments and feel comfortable reposting it here, I would love to know what he replies.

Correct, no bonus content here.
Jeff VanderMeer made another post on Facebook about his frustrations with this edition. I just commented to see if he can shed light on what the bonus content was supposed to have been. Very curious on if he'll reply!

That is BEYOND disappointing to hear. Wow.

Originally posted by sholloman81 View PostJust received a shipping notice with a tracking number! Am so happy to finally see this. This is my oldest pending pre-order, (placed my order on 02/28/2018). Does anyone know if they were able to include the bonus section as originally planned? I know that at one point there was a question as to whether or not it would be included but I never heard a definitive answer. I would personally be disappointed if it isn't included as there has been more than enough time to obtain that material or to replace it with something else.
