The Strain: The Deluxe Special Edition

[bsaenz24]

I would guess order will be taken around or after the shipping of The Strain.

yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh....I missed out on this one. I had the chance, but I declined. I console myself by telling myself that it was either "The Strain" or "The Secretary of Dreams vols. 1&2." At least there was a trade hardcover.

Bad Moon Books is selling it as a pre-order $10 over the list price. I ordered a copy from them and was also able to get the Limited Edition of Full Dark No Stars from them back in April for only $5 over the list price.

Yeah, you really need to be quick with Lonely Road Books because I believe they have all sold out very quickly after announcement, but the good thing is I believe you get first rights of refusal on the next book if you own the last. Plus they're all absolutely beautiful books and I only have the limiteds!!!

We offer the new books to the people who bought the last one first. But you only get that first shot if you but it from us I believe. Don't quote me on that though as I'm not 100% sure.

Yep, customers who ordered the pervious book via the Cemetery Dance store get first crack at the next book.

The Fall won't be announced until The Strain is at the printer at the earliest. Sometimes timing is dictated by outside forces -- for example, the person or company the rights were licensed from -- but my personal preference would be to wait until the collectors who ordered The Strain have it in their hands so they can really see what these editions are going to look like.

Can't wait for this one

From LRB on FaceBook:

The signature sheets for THE STRAIN are now back and signed by all of the contributors, and the book is undergoing one last proofread before we send to the printer. Once the printer is rolling, we'll have a good idea of the final publication date. We will be publishing matching limited editions of the other books in the trilogy -- Troy Nixey has already started on the artwork -- and customers who ordered The Strain will get first shot at matching numbers/letters.

You beat me here, Brad!

You beat me here, Brad!

Just trying to free up your time to think of new books to publish!! LOL!!

Very nice, can't wait to see pictures of the book since I didn't order this one for a couple reasons, such as not knowing about it before it was sold out. That, and money would have most likely prevented it at the time. Definitely something I'll have to try and get a hold of at some point if I am able to. I've got a wedding and birthday coming up soon, hint hint lol

Well, paper (books) is the traditional 1st anniversary gift and leather (bound books) is the traditional 5th anniversary gift...

I missed out on this one too. I'm sure the quality of this production will be awesome. Can't wait to see what this one looks like.

This is about four months ago.
Update anyone??

I just saw today's newsletter, there will be some production updates in there, but I don't think this is one of them. I'll point Brian here to see what he can tell ya.

Should be going to the printer by the end of September if all goes well!
