As an FYI there is a limited run of slipcases* for Boys in the Valley being produced. See below.

I toyed / am toying with the idea of that for my copy of BinV, but I just can't justify the cost. I'm sure it'll be very nice and well worth it to those who opt for a copy, but in my marginally successful effort to slow down buying to those books I absolutely Need and, concurrently, selling off some books that I absolutely don't Need, expensive accessories that-I-don't-Need-but-it-would-be-nice, like this slipcase, just don't pass muster anymore.

Plus by not buying I'm then essentially getting the copy of GOTHIC I have on pre-order for free. Or that's one way I justify passing on it, anyhow...

The slipcase looks very nice.

I see everyone is just rubbing it in! LOL and just kidding of course. Congrats to all.

I ordered Gothic too. I was even able to match my number to Boys in the Valley, which is nice.

I pulled the trigger on GOTHIC this morning. Did anybody else?

The price gave me pause. I was hoping it would be in the $50-60 range. $85 made me hesitate. Regret over passing on BOYS IN THE VALLEY pushed me over the edge.

I had the same surprise, but only considered it for a minute or so before pulling the trigger. I really enjoyed BOYS IN THE VALLEY, so didn’t want to miss out on this one. Given Fracassi’s growing popularity, I knew I would likely not have another shot at this LE at anything approaching a reasonable price.

I took a flyer on Boys in the Valley and really enjoyed it. I bought Gothic as I want to read more from the author. I will admit to being a little surprised that the publisher went with a limit of two considering the limitation and the buzz around the author, I think one per customer would have been a better choice.

Missed out on this. Probably would have bought a copy but congrats to Earthling on a quick sell-out.

This is almost word for word my feelings. I did pick-up a copy of Gothic as well but was also hoping it would be priced closer to last week's offering; however, due to the much smaller print run, I understand. I also passed on BOYS IN THE VALLEY when it was announced and have regretted it since. I didn't want to feel that way again; so, I decided to take the plunge with Gothic. This will be my first read by the author; so, fingers crossed. Am not surprised at all that Gothic sold out in 20 minutes. Congrats to Paul/Earthling! Congrats to Fracassi who seems to be building a following!

I grabbed a copy and also regret missing out on BOYS IN THE VALLEY. Congrats Paul!

I got my copy. Even with the low print run and all of the chatter I was not expecting it to be gone in 20 minutes.

[Sock Monkey]

Well, if you wanted a copy of GOTHIC, I hope you got one, because it sold out in under twenty minutes. I figured it would go pretty fast considering the buzz around the author and the very small print run, but that's pretty darn fast. Congratulations to Paul at Earthling!

A post on FB from Earthling:


"A brief but important update regarding Philip Fracassi’s GOTHIC:

Apologies but I need to move the preorders start time to Tuesday, April 19, Noon EST.
Please reset your alarms! Tell all your friends!

Also note, given that only 235 numbered and 15 lettered deluxe hardcovers will be produced (just under half the print run of BOYS IN THE VALLEY), I will likely be limiting orders to two copies per household so more people have the opportunity to buy this book at cover price.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and see you Tuesday!"

[Sock Monkey]

I know the feeling. I have a maybe on a little more expensive purchase which is precluding me from buying something else at the moment. GOTHIC sounds like a great read as well. So I hope to know in the next few days where my money will be going. LOL.

Why can't we just have all of the money, right?
