I have an issue with any publisher changing the print runs of previous offerings. With that said, the small press industry is in a genuine supply crunch. I am finding myself a bit more forgiving about these things at the moment. I will add that I have no dog in this particular fight as I have zero interest in these books. I will also add that communication goes a long way and Paul's note today explained the situation well. If the first 400 of Chainsaw state they are limited to 400 and the last 100 state a limitation of 500, that would change my views.

For those who didn't receive it, Paul announced that he'll be publishing Stephen Graham Jones's DON'T FEAR THE REAPER, the second book in his Indian Lake trilogy. This book will be limited to 500 copies. He has also decided to increase the previously announced (and sold out) print run of MY HEART IS A CHAINSAW from 400 to 500 copies to (a) match the print run of REAPER and (b) help battle the rise in paper costs by raising his print run therefore reducing his price per unit, in lieu of a raise in the price points of his books.
First, I applaud Paul's transparency as to why he is doing what he is doing. A simple email detailing this information supplants speculation with clarification and, at the very least, allows the customer to understand his thought process regardless if they agree or not.
Second, I don't have much issue with the change, but it is the second such change that the press has recently taken. Any more post-sell-out print run increases might give me pause. It's a dangerous precedent to set. One that I wouldn't like the industry to head towards.
Any other thoughts?Last edited by Martin; 03-19-2022, 11:35 PM.

My email says my Paul Tremblay Special Bundle has shipped. I wonder if I am getting just The Little Sleep or perhaps the second title too. ~Cap

Haven't read any of Tremblay's detective stories, but, in my previous reading experience, any Tremblay is good Tremblay!

I forgot I have a few of those. For this one I went through Camelot just so I didn't have to pay right now.
