"This book is now ready for the printer and will be published in late 2013."

It this still true? Should we expect this by the end of the year? I'm really excited about this title!

That's the plan! This and Screamplays are supposed to be our December releases. There might be one or two others. We have to see, we might be adding a second printer for a few of these!

Are you more behind then you thought you would be? Or is the second printer just to insure this gets done this year.It seems that I got my copy of the Screamplays ARC a real long time ago. Was this and Smoke and Mirrors both projects that got held up due to signature sheets?

Our usual printer has had more problems than we'd like to see this year, so the second printer is to spread out the workload. Both of these had signature sheet related issues over the years. They were announced sooner than they should have been, too.

Such is life. I know they'll be well worth the wait when they do get here. Thanks for the effort Brian, I really don't know how you guys do it all!!!

Lots of coffee and aspirin is my guess.

Don't forget hard liquor!

For those who missed the news, Screamplays and Smoke & Mirrors are both at the printer and should be done around the end of April. It's hard to describe how large these books are, but they are 400 to 500 pages long and the same trim size as The Secretary of Dreams if that helps. They're going to look amazing.

FYI: The signed Limited Edition of Smoke & Mirrors is signed by Neil Gaiman, William Peter Blatty, Joe Hill, Stewart O'Nan, Frank Darabont, William F. Nolan, Brian Keene & Michael Oliveri, Poppy Z. Brite, Kealan Patrick Burke, Mick Garris, Ray Garton, Joe R. Lansdale, and Richard Chizmar… and we only have a few copies left for reservation.

Yes her one while you can. I have had this book on order for a year and a half or 2
Definitely looking forward to April. Not just for the end of winter but for this book. I know why it was delayed so long....STUPID GROUNDHOG!!!!! Yep. Everything till Spring that happens that is bad the GROUNDHOG gets the blame.

Just to try to give an idea of the size of this book, here are the DJ bluelines of Smoke & Mirrors with a finished copy of Turn Down the Lights:



If you imagine a copy of The Secretary of Dreams, only with approximately twice as many pages, that'll give you an idea.

Holy Big Book Batman!!!

[RJK1981]

Wow, that is big. Wish I had an ARC of that one like I do of Screamplays!

[bookworm 1]

. My thoughts exactly.

Holy Big Book Batman!!!

To heck with an ARC, I want a blueline. Something by Ketchum preferably and that will be one of my holy grails.
