New Limited Edition of The Shining from Sub Press

[BrianS]

Yeah, should be on the way soon. We wouldn't have been able to receive it yet anyway because the 8 new books we just received, and then basically everyone here got sick, so we're way behind.

Sure hope those "extra" copies that SB found were not the copies for CD . . .

In case anybody has been losing sleep over this, and because I remember a previous thread talking about bad experiences with customer service at Sub Press, I just want to say that I never got a response to the follow up email I sent about the remarque. Maybe I didn't spend enough money on the book to deserve a response.

[jigertz]

I don't think that they know which copies have which remarques in them. The LEs probably come already shrink-wrapped simply in a box marked as having the remaques. That's just a guess. I'd ask him for a more deteailed explanation.

I never thought of shrink wrap. If he tells me that's the reason, then it's all good.

I think you are being reasonable. I would have asked the very same thing, as I am not a fan of the lion remarque either. When you are investing $700 into a purchase, you should expect to receive a certain amount of customer service and not the response you received. "I will try but cannot guarantee it" would certainly piss me off if was spending $700 on a book.

[Theli]

Can't say it's unreasonable, but there may already be circumstances where others are already spoken for.

[jigertz]

I have a question for everyone on here. I'm trying to decide if I'm being an unreasonable asshole or not. I was lucky enough to get one of the 50 Chong remarques in my limited edition of The Shining, and the Sub Press website has samples of the three types of images he is drawing. One of the three is of the hedge lions, which I don't particularly like. I emailed Bill and asked if he could send me either one of the other two, just not the lions. He replied that he can try but not guarantee it.

So, I emailed him back and told him that I'm paying $700 for this book with a remarque; I don't think it's too much to ask that, out of only 50 remarqued copies, I not get one of the three types of remarques.

Am I being unreasonable? I've asked Mindy, Brian, and Dan for more outrageous and obnoxious things than that, and they have always been super accommodating. Maybe I'm too used to being treated well at CD.

Is CD still waiting for its shipment?

No problem, thats how I saw Wool and The River of Souls.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Cool! Thanks for the heads up, Joe!!!

[Joe315]

I have found that if you check the Subpress site at night (in the US) you will find the updates up. Bill seems to be a night owl. Also, new announcements tend to be posted on Sundays, with the newsletters going out the next day.

Agreed. It's definitely overpriced, which is extremely annoying as many lettered editions are only available to the super rich and are way out of reach to us normal folk.

Yep same here, unfortunately the best I can ever seem to manage is gift editions

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I could not see spending $1,000 on it.
