Anybody got any word from them? I was kind of hoping it'd come out about the same time as Doctor Sleep. -

Well, looks like this won't be coming out in November. Latest e-mail from Sub Press says that there's been a few bumps at the printers and that they will update when they have more info.Comment

Latest newsletter:
JohnThe Shining (Stephen King) is progressing nicely at both printers. We've already suffered a few bumps along the way, which mean the book won't make its November deadline. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.Comment

Sigh. Mid January for the gift edition. But I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.Originally posted by Neiaushie79 View PostComment

Again not too concerned, I figured January was going to be around the time of release when they said they were having some delays.Comment

Me either. Delays are all part of life. Something that too many people don't understand. When it gets here it gets here.Comment

FYI, in case you guys didn't get the email:
Stephen King's The Shining is running a bit late, but you knew that already, right?
Here's a brief history and update on the project:
When Steve chose to let us publish Limited and Gift Editions of The Shining, we scheduled a production meeting with our usual printer, Thomson-Shore (who we cannot recommend highly enough, by the way.)
At the meeting, we made it clear that the entire print job was to be theirs, provided they could handle the slipcases for the Gift Edition. They don't produce slipcases in house, and didn't have a company they were comfortable in partnering with on this, so we made the decision to use Leo USA (who produced my favorite Neil Gaiman limited, Neverwhere) for the Gift Edition.
Copies of the Gift Edition will be done in the next week, and will ship to us from Hong Kong. With travel time, and the need to clear customs, we hope to begin shipping this edition in mid-January.
The Signed, Limited Edition resides with Thomson-Shore. We commissioned hand marbled paper for part of the binding (with the spine of each book being cloth). Now that everything is in hand, T-S tells us that the Limited will be printed November 26.
As soon as the Limited Edition is done, we'll send a copy out to Kater-Craft, in California, who will handle the traycases. These will take a few months. We'll update folks again as soon as we have a firm date from them.
The Signed Lettered Edition is being hand bound at Kater-Craft, and will likely be finished early in the Spring.
That's where things stand at the moment. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me an email.
Before I'm out of your hair, I should add that we've seen sample bindings, the printed but unbound book, the color plates, and the other assorted by-products of producing a book, and everything looks just stunning.
Best,
Bill
PS. The Limited and Lettered Editions are long sold out, and we're down to fewer than 200 of the Gift.Comment
