Originally posted by Martin View PostAlthough I loved The Pines trilogy and pretty much everything I have read from Crouch I passed on this set. I have several Gauntlet books and have generally been pleased with them. I purchased Hope and Miracles earlier this year. While I love the content the book itself feels cheap for the $199 price tag. My largest issue is that the paper stock feels like what would be found in a trade paperback. That and a rather unsatisfactory response from Mr. Hoffman regarding another recent purchase has me leery of purchasing from Gauntlet. Add in the fact that this is done in partnership with Borderlands made this an easy pass for me. It is unfortunate as this is a set that would be a must have for me from most small press publishers. Investing what I assume will be at least $150 into two companies I have strong reservations against doing business with was just not something I was not willing to do. I hope those who get it love it and that another publisher does a nice limited of the set that I can add to my collection.

I wish anyone else had done this set. I'll probably just make due with trade editions.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

Originally posted by jeffingoff View PostObviously I'm struggling with passing on Pines. I've been looking into it and I thought it was being published as an omnibus but it's just the first book in the trilogy. So it'll still be a long wait for the other two to see the light of day. I'm getting tired of waiting. The cover and the quality of the edition are going to be lacking. Also, how do you all feel about F. Paul Wilson writing a story inspired by Pines to be included in the book? It seems disrespectful to me for another author to be included in the book. I don't know. I guess that's Crouch's call. All this combined makes me think I've already decided to pass. Again.

Gauntlet was kind enough to confirm that I made the correct decision to pass on The Pines. In their newsletter was a link to pre-order a copy:
CLICK HERE TO PRE-OREDER PINES
Happy to pass on the 'PRE-OREDER'!

Same. That announcement came as a surprise…it’d seemed like he’d already mined just about anything publishable, so I’m curious to see what he may have unearthed (or gathered together).

I am asking here even though this has nothing to do with the Gauntlet edition of Pines: does anyone know of a facsimile or auto pen signature on the trade edition of The Last Town by Blake Crouch? I have two copies of the trade edition and the signatures are identical. Even down to where they are on the page. I really don’t think it’s possible that they are really signed but I’m not finding anything online about a facsimile signature.

I haven’t heard of anything like that, though I suppose anything is possible. But I can’t imagine it would be economical for the publisher to bind in a (real) signature page in a mass-market tpb, and a facsimile signature without context seems unlikely as well. My suspicion is that it’s just a coincidence, and maybe there are subtle differences in your two that just aren’t readily apparent…?
