Cardinal Black by Robert McCammon

Thank for that head's up Marmaduke Grigsby! I was hoping that might be the case. I ordered my copy the instant it was announced and was hoping that it might be one of the earlier copies shipped. Am dying to read this book! I happened to notice on Camelot's site that they also received their copies which surprised me a bit. Not sure how it normally works, but I've always assumed that the direct CD individual orders would ship before distributor orders (perhaps I'm incorrect). Anyway, now that I know that a shipping notice may not have been sent, I will make sure to start checking my mailbox at home (don't always do it on a daily basis as it is mostly junk mail anyway )

Usually dealers go last, however Camelot has special number requests for the McCammon books so that bumps them up the shipping queue a bit. We always try to ship the number requests first so we don't accidentally send someones number to the wrong person. Also we finished shipping these on Monday or Tuesday, but Mindy is out of the office this week, so shipping notices probably have not been sent.

We're getting far afield from Cardinal Black now, but this is a convenient place to post this.

A new Robert McCammon short story has been posted on his site. "DST, INC." is a story he wrote to read at this past Saturday's Noir at the Bar event in Birmingham, AL.

You can read the story on the site, or download it in several formats, and you can also listen to an audio recording of McCammon reading it at the Noir at the Bar event.

Thanks for sharing that, Hunter!

The Lettered Edition is with our binder and casemaker, but his shop was closed for six weeks due to COVID-19, so even though he is open again now, he is behind schedule. The good news is, we have received our finished approval copy and the rest of the books and cases will be done in August! Here are a few photos we took real quick, but they don't really show the true beauty of this edition (or, obviously, how SOFT the leather is!)

See the pics here:

Wow, that looks amazing, it will look great next to my SUB-T Matthew lettereds. Please eventually publish "Speaks the Nightbird" in this format, along with the rest of the Matthew books.

[Marmaduke Grigsby]

It looks spectacular!

The look also closely matches the Sub Press lettered editions of the Corbett series. Lettered Editions are almost always outside of my self-imposed price limit, but I sooooo wish I had bit the bullet and ordered one of these! Those who did will surely be happy with them!

Hopefully, a month later, shipment of these beauties will be soon. Just wanted to look at the pictures again and bump up the thread. Any news on Usher's Passing would be good, too. And would like to see Mystery Walk be next on the McCammon schedule, along with The King of Shadows.

You have good timing on this. I'm pretty sure the lettereds and their cases are on their way to us from California. So it should be fairly soon. We also ran into an issue with Usher's passing that we somehow didn't catch. This is all taken care of now, we just need to be able to schedule it at the printer. But as I said in the production updates thread, scheduling has been difficult lately. Hopefully that clears up soon and we can make some progress on this backlog.

That lettered edition looks amazing. I don't know how I missed the pics before now. I'll also second JoeJets suggest for MYSTERY WALK. I'll also take MINE. Everyone kinda overlooks that one.
