    You have to go to the BP site and plop it in your cart. Don't use the invoice or your pre-order.

    I had an issue with the shipping (it wouldn't give me shipping options so I couldn't check out) but I emailed back and forth with BP and got it all sorted. These slipcases are in stock.

    I started reading the Ligotti Little White Book today...Good God, a collection of old interviews...? I would have bought this anyway, since my collector's OCD demands that I have a complete set, but, WOW.....This has the potential to be the most boring book I've ever read. Engaging, Ligotti is not.

    Yeah crazy fast. Paid for mine as well. Really like Sarah Pinborough's writing. With me, she's had 2 at-bats and both resulted in home runs.

    I finished the Kiernan Little Yellow book today, and was very impressed by it. Very close to a perfect 10.
    On the production side, the pages are slightly off-center, there were a lot of dropped letters (A missing "h" making what should have been "his" into "is", etc.), and the last few pages of the book, including the end-papers, were glued together. I managed to get the pages apart and peel off the glue, but.....man. That was a new one.
    Glad you enjoyed it. That one was a tough read for me. On a better note I did not have the glue issue.

    That glue should peel off pretty easily and not leave any stains or anything. I've had a similar issue with books from a number of publishers.

    I just examined mine and it was the same, the last few pages were glued together. (Obviously I hadn't read mine yet.) They did peel apart relatively easy but left unsightly glue along the outer edges of a couple pages.

    Also, the limitation on the Kiernan book is 600.....

    Camelot has a full list:

    Well, mostly full; seems the last handful are missing, but those are easier to track down since they get posted in here quote often.

    Is there a master list of all the little books with authors and titles? Because you can't grab a book by the author, you have to either remove it from the slipcase, or remember who wrote each book.
    I didn't see a list like that on the BP website.

    I haven't gone through it with a fine-toothed comb, but I'm only aware of four minor layout issues in the McCammon book. As one of the people who helped with the book, I'm embarrassed that I missed any. But I don't think the book is rife with errors. Others may have been, but this one is not.

    I personally think the cloth cover looks a lot nice than the vinyl covers of previous books, which just looked like cheap vinyl to me.
    I have not read the Campbell or McCammon books so I am not able to speak to those. I will say that this is the first time I have collected a full series and the level of errors within the books has been disheartening. I actually prefer the fabric over the vinyl on the covers but am not happy to have the switch be made mid series. The limitation issues are actually the most disturbing to me. I have a series with different limitation numbers which I do not like. I have a book that states it has a limitation of 350 and have seen photos of other copies of the book with a stated limitation of 500. Things happen I get it but that should not have been done. I like these books and am committed to finishing this series. I will think long and hard about if I want to do that again.

    I’m bummed to hear there continue to be issues with the series. I know that sometimes stuff happens, but this seems to be a recurrent issue.
