Easton Press

There is a book I've always told myself I'd buy if EP publishes an edition of it. Well, they did and I bought it. Should be here soon. Expensive, tho. The Barnes and Noble leather bound edition is much cheaper. And more colorful, too.

Neverwhere announced this morning by Easton Press:

^Yeah I agree. What can you do though? Thank you a million times over for the offer! Luckily I'm not too far from the border and I just talked to a buddy recently that goes down about once a month to visit in laws and pick up packages, so I can always ask him to pick it up from his PO Box by the border if I decide to take the plunge.

[bugen]

Theli I'd try being a middleman if you think it might help. EP packaging is sparse, but if it's handling issues across the border I can repackage their shipment in a more padded box. It's got to travel from coast to coast to reach me in LA but I've yet to have one damaged in transit.

If you really want a book I'd hate to see the barrier for any of my peeps to be shipping. Which is, of course, the position that Easton should be taking. I think they're just old, set in their ways and resistant to change.

^I agree, but I have yet to jump on it. My problem is ordering from Easton direct. It sucks ordering in Canada and their packaging even worse...

I picked up a copy the morning Easton announced it. Those who are thinking of also picking up a copy may want to hurry...if there are any left, I don't expect this one -- the only American hardcover, other than the Centipede edition, and signed -- to last very long. I tell you, too, if I was a betting man, I'd buy a few more copies to flip for a significant return in a couple years. It's the rare exception where one can accurately predict a small-press item will increase in value...I believe this is one of those times. We'll see if time proves me right.

But since my budget is finite and my wants nearly infinite, I can't indulge such predictions.

Though I've read infamous bits and pieces of it over the years, I've actually never read the entire thing from start to finish, so this'll be a nice way to do that.

Too true, Too true. Like Ghost Story. I go out of my way for a new edition of that one.

[jigertz]

I have the Centipede Press edition but already ordered the Easton one. Can't have enough copies of that book.

[srboone]

I have Centipede Press' edition, but I may have to get this one too! Haven't gotten my catalog yet, so I hadn't seen that one.

[Theli]

Saw that, not a bad price actually. I hate dealing with them direct though, such a hassle getting them to ship to Canada, and last time I did it was VERY poorly packaged.

American Psycho announced this morning from Easton Press:

[jigertz]

Squire, why did you have to mention Fight Club? Now I have to buy another book that I can't live without, and I was trying to at least somewhat behave myself until Monday's announcement. But I am excited to see an EP edition of the book--CP is one of my favorite authors.

I also picked up the signed limited Cat's Cradle from EP a few months ago, and it's beautiful.

[Theli]

Still want to get more EP books, but it's such a bitch to order to Canada. I'd skip the Palahniuk anyway though.

[srboone]

Currently, EP has in stock a signed edition of Fight Club bu Chuck Palahnuik. Probably no bells and whistles,but there may be a frontis art piece. The description doesn't say.

Yeah hopefully it doesn't sell out, will be popular.
Wish EP had a better online system, i have to phone in orders being from Canada.
