That's an odd addition to me - one of the more expensive limiteds I have considering it's not a lettered, just a plan numbered. (Although prices of other books are approaching the price point this had when it was released.)

I believe I got my copy from Dark Regions (based on the postcard and bookmarks that are inside of it) so it must have been on sale.

Also, the whole Make Offer on eBay pisses me off quite often. If you're not willing to consider offers, don't have that option.

Good luck to you!

Which one are you looking for Ron?

I hesitate to say it because there's one on eBay for a decent price, one I believe below cover price...but, eh, if someone else snatches it up then they wanted it worse than me. I've tried sending him two (what I think are fair) offers since he has Best Offer included, but he's apparently stuck at his BIN price.

It's THE THICKET, the signed/numbered/slipcased Earthling edition. I have a signed 1st trade HC, but it'd be nice to upgrade, and that upgrade would be more satisfying -- for me -- than that new Thunderstorm collection.

Thunderstorm has been on fire lately with their announcements. First, the Fracassi books, then the Golden book, now a Lansdale collection. I hope that these books sell out fast.

I toyed with the idea of picking up that Lansdale, but as a mostly-reprint collection (one new novella) of all co-written work...I'll need to pass. There's another Lansdale limited, though, that I still need, and am playing the mental gymnastics that we collectors do to justify the purchase...I mean, I gave this Thunderstorm Lansdale collection serious thought before ultimately passing, so that means that I can logically use those now-unused funds for another Lansdale limited that I do need, right?

...right?

HUGE collector all things Lansdale, but I can't swing this one today. Like swintek says above - if it was $60, or even $75, then yeah, instant buy. But $125 is a little hard to swallow at the moment. Plus only one new story (a novella, but still only one new story.)

The cover looks gorgeous though!

As a many-decade, absolute die-hard Lansdale collector- sadly, I had to pass on this. It was tough- I've got a really deep collection and this is a true limited edition, in that the book doesn't exist in another form. Still, I feel absolutely bombarded by really, really expensive books lately (like, the last few years), and lines have just got to be drawn. This looks nice, and, like I said- unique. If it were $60- I'd be all in. Just unwilling to go $125. It'll be a nice collectible at that print run, no doubt.

Very happy with today's announcement! I love me some Joe Lansdale and pre-ordered a copy immediately. Was surprised by the print-run and hope Paul can sell that many books as it seems to be four to five times bigger than normal. Am guessing it must be a contractual thing as the majority of Black Voltage books this year have been closer to the normal 50 copy print-run.

Thank you for the information.

Indeed — good to know, thank you.

Speaking of Fracassi, received my self-pub’d Fracassi chapbook today…looks nice!

[Ben Staad]

Thank you for the information.

Looks like Beneath a Pale Sky ended up at 208 copies. Not too shabby for a Thunderstorm release!

Not bad at all! Very much looking forward to it.

In case anybody missed it, yesterday during the Buzz Book Expo, Paul announced that Thunderstorm would be doing a limited edition of Fracassi's BEHOLD THE VOID. Keep your eyes peeled for the official announcement. Also, if you still haven't picked up a copy of BENEATH A PALE SKY, the preorder window was extended until 9/21.

Good to know…will have to match that to my BaPS volume that I pre-ordered.

Also, received a shipping notice yesterday for my self-pub’d Fracassi chapbook.

I have not read Beneath a Pale Sky (yet) but Behold the Void is a great collection.

Good to see Void finally getting the LE treatment.
