[Martin]

Started The Mailman last night. So far it is very good.

[srboone]

I believe it is.

Thanks, Dan. I missed your answer in all the hub-bub that goes on here.

Received my copies today. All I can say is wow! Three great authors and three stories I have not read before. Now I get to determine which to read 1st.

[Dan Hocker]

i just realized that wasn't a very good phrasing of the question. Is it going to have the title and author on the front of the DJ?

I believe it is.

Yes.

I've never understood the fascination with the idea of publishing books without the author/title on them. We've done it twice that I can recall (Camp Pleasant and Blood Crazy) and the end result is booksellers only being able to put the books spine-out on the shelves -- which is the worst possible way to sell a book -- or people in the dealers' room at conventions having to pick up and handle the book just to see who the author is. In the end, you end up with lots of "slightly dinged" copies returned to the publisher due to the extra handling.

I guess it would be a neat idea if the books didn't actually have to be sold, though!

[srboone]

That's what I thought....

[Teriw]

according to someone in the Pure thread (Dan or Brian I believe) CD won't do it without the title on the front.

[srboone]

Got mine today. Is the DJ for The Loveliest Dead going to be a wraparound without title?

Why I would order anything from OZ is beyond me...

Maybe if green is your favorite color.

[srboone]

But if I ever order anything from down under, I'll be screwed. Why I would order anything from OZ is beyond me...
