It's a pretty small book in terms of page count, and I've been kind of bummed out by how many books have HAD to make the jump to $150 or $175 to cover the increased production costs, so I figured I would price this one as low as I could.

I am impressed. At first, I thought you were showing the price without slipcase but had a picture without.

How are you offering this with slipcase for $100?

Brian, I read the ad copy but didn’t see an answer to this: Will this be a hardcover in a very small trim like the trade HC, or a standard-sized edition?

Oh yeah, sorry, I didn't even think to note that... it is a 6X9 hardcover like our usual Limited Editions.

So, my guess for the next book was totally wrong, lol. Never would have expected Gillian Flynn! Pretty sweet Brian!

I thought the slipcase was shipping separately. Every picture I saw, I thought it was a cardboard shipping enclosure designed to look like the final case. I sincerely thought it was an amazing touch on Brian's part to include something of an enclosure. I wonder shat people thought when I kept raving about the carboard slipcase?? Oh boy do I feel stupid. Well, stupider than usual.

That's too funny! Yeah, they were supposed to ship separately but since the cases were done early, he shipped them together. They are cardboard colored; so, it's an easy mistake!

Just received my copy of Them w/Slipcase. The production turned out great. This was a bit of a blind buy for me; so, I hope the story is good. It definitely sounds fun!

I talked to Heller's agent about another one and they were really excited but the conversation kind of died off and I haven't circled back... Do you think collectors would want another one?

I sure would!

Reading today's email and from the artwork it looks like we're getting a limited of Mystery Walk!! I wll need to get myself a copy. Would love to get a hand on a lettered edition, but I doubt that (a) there will copies available and (b) I could afford the price tag. And since we are on the topic of McCammon, I'd also like a limited edition of Mine.

Saw that email as well.  This book has been mentioned as needing an LE quite a bit; so, I'm sure it will do great for Lividian.  Sign me up!

I've read all of Heller's work (save for his new one, BURN, but I do have a signed 1st HC of it in my TBR pile) and count myself as a huge fan...Heller, Stewart O'Nan, and Willy Vlautin are my pop-fiction trinity. That said, while I love his work and would love to see it gain more exposure and readers, his work really doesn't have the vibe -- to me -- of limited-edition broad appeal, save for the one already done, THE DOG STARS. For me, there's a difference between fiction I absolutely love to read and work that feels like it requires high-end collectible archiving.

All that said, if Heller was granted the Lividian treatment again, I'd buy it, as I am such a huge fan. I do wonder, again though, about his broad appeal to the collector market.

If SM is correct about A PRAYER FOR DYING, that's good news as well.
