Anyone else hop on this weekend's "Secret Advance Preorder" title? I know I did! Wish we could be specific as I was very excited to see the 2nd book in this trilogy being offered for pre-order. They did a great job with the 1st book! Also got to love SST's prices. Was able to pick-up the limited w/international shipping for $63!

I didn’t receive an email, which I always do. Did this go out only to buyers of the first book (whatever that is)? I’m hoping I’m not missing out on something.

Just received my shipping notice from SST for Gwendy's Final Task! Am super excited to see this one finally shipping! I had previously decided to wait until the (LE) Final Task was received and then give the series a straight read-through. I normally would have read each book as they came out; however, since CD had delayed Magic Feather so much, I decided to just hold off on reading it and complete the trilogy all at once.

Anyone pick-up the new SST pre-order. I pretty much adore all things Lansdale; so, it was a must for me! Also really like the cover for this one!

No, I have a signed tpb of the collection, and that’ll have to do.

I haven't picked it up yet. I'm hoping that Camelot gets copies. I really want it, though!

Congrats. I was highly tempted to go for this as well. I ultimately passed but with regret.

So happy to have scored a copy of Unbury Carol from SST this morning. I passed on the Malerman bundle when it was first announced since I already have Bird Box/Malorie from DRP. Just can't do multiple copies of the same book anymore as I'm lacking the space and money to justify it. Since I don't have a copy of Unbury Carol yet, this was a must for me! Great way to start my Friday!!!

Never even heard of a sour. Interesting.

No idea what they taste like but the name is fairly gross TBH.

Here's the beer I've been enjoying the last few days - grabbed it on a recent trip to New York (I think I've seen it here before but didn't buy it at the time.)

Always a fan of anything unicorn, but I've been really getting into sours the last year and beginning to leave the IPAs behind (I still enjoy a nice IPA though, but sours are where it's at right now.)

I really just like the pony bottles. The beer is kind of secondary.

I have opinions about your fancy beer . . .

How long since I last bought a book? I bought this. My budget doesn't really allow for books at this point however I did it anyway. Cancel a few taco Tuesdays and buy PBR in lieu of something fancy, like the banquet beer, and boom I now have pre-ordered another book.

I feel good about the purchase but hadn't read the book. I hope it's good but I do know that SST will produce I nice edition.

Was there an official announcement? Odd, I got the initial one, but didn't receive the later/official one.

As far as the sell-through, perhaps it's because she hasn't established her collectability in the marketplace yet, so people are shy to invest in a book that many have already read. That said, Lividian did it with Catariona Ward and Suntup did with Ania Ahlborn, so there goes that theory. No idea why. I passed because I just have to start putting some parameters on my buying, so, for better or worse, I'm now sticking to tried and true authors. That said (again), though, I preordered SST's THE LIVING DEAD by Daniel Kraus and George A. Romero, so there again I blow that idea. Collecting books is a very imprecise science.

I didn't see an official announcement, but, to be honest, I never do with SST. I assumed it was officially announced because it's on their homepage and Camelot has copies posted for sale.

I have thought about sticking with the "tried and true" but I love finding new authors, so that idea always flies out the window.

For some reason, I didn't jump on THE LIVING DEAD and now I can't find it anywhere for sale. I have no idea why I passed. I think there was some budgetary issues at the time.

Man, I'm surprised THE HUNGER by Alma Katsu hasn't sold out yet. Maybe I'm off, but this seemed like a pretty big announcement. Are people to sleeping on SST? If this was a CD or Sub Press title, I'd think it would have sold out by now.
