Just curious what you guys think of Rodriguez's art. Over at TheDarkTower.org the reaction is pretty negative but as a fan of Locke & Key I think he's pretty good, even though he wouldn't be my first choice for this.

I like the Locke & Key artwork too. I have a lot of Sub Press books, and I think they've had the best over all artwork of any publisher I buy from.

For me, the artwork is not that important compared to the story. If you have a crappy story with great art, then I'm not buying it. A great story with crappy art is still a great story.

I have no negative opinion of Subterranean, I have a few of there books and am satisfied with the quality. I have had no issues with them but I have never had an issue that required customer service. I now have two books on pre-order with them so that may change. The one criticism I have of them is that their books are often not worth the retail price in my opinion, this is the reason I only own a few of their books.

Boy that was fun reading about all of everyone trying to spend so much money from a pub that a lot of people seem to not like..Congrats to those of you who were able to get a signed copy. I passed on all copies for now. I know only the gift is still around but not sure about this. I have never had issues with sub press and do like their books.

I am a fan of Rodriguez based on Locke and Key. I know a lot of people don't like comic artists are right for novel art. I am not inclined to think that way. I am interesting in seeing what he does with the story. Since I was only going for the Gift edition I was in no hurry to order, I think there is a good chance the Gift Edition will still be available upon publication. I decided to order today to ensure I received the Rodriguez art chap book as well.

I think I'm the only only one who actually shows any open hostility towards sp.

Took a little longer than I expected.

The Limited and Lettered are now sold out.

I guess the after-work crowd on the East Coast got busy I'm glad I got mine.

Down to 115. I think IT tooks 3 or 4 hours to sell out? And $450 is a good chunk of change for most people.

Well, CD's site says 30 hours for the limited to sell out, but the site was pretty much down for a lot of that time, so 3-4 hours of it being up in a stable way is probably right. The lettered edition sold out in under half an hour though. I find their pricing of the limited and lettered editions of The Shining to be too high, which could explain why they aren't sold out yet. The lettered is 500 more than IT and their Limited is 25 under the price of IT. All for a book that is a little under half the size of IT and isn't an anniversary edition.

I say that, but if I had a lot of money I'd probably purchase a copy, lol

.... But it still won't compare to my lettered, triple (color) remarqued IT.

SWEET!!!

Well, because I have such great self control I just went and ordered a gift edition after ordering a limited about an hour ago. I just can't say no to The Shining and risk not being able to go back for a gift when I actually have the money for it. But it still won't compare to my lettered, triple (color) remarqued IT.

I did not expect the Gift edition to sell out quickly but am surprised that the limited appears to still be available.

Ha. Now the letter went back up to 7 available. Weird.
