Now only Mystery Walk and Mine remain to get the limited treatment, hopefully from Lividian. Also would eventually like a better limited for Speaks the Nightbird, a nice Lividian limited and lettered. That crappy River City limited does not fit with all the other limited Corbett books.

The official annoucement of the book is coming in May, but since ARCs have been sent out there was a pre-announcement posted on Robert McCammon's website and on Facebook.

I am over the moon about this announcement.  I have wanted a limited of Gone South forever, and to know that Lividian is the one doing it has me ecstatic!

I am not sure if it is the post office that Lividian is shipping from or something else but I continue to receive media mail shipments from Lividian very quickly. Had a shipment from Suntup and Lividian reach the post office on the same day, March 28th. The Lividian shipment had to go cross country and was shipped media mail. The Suntup book had to travel up the west coast and was shipped priority. Both arrived today! I will not say the title of the Lividian book I received today as I do not think it is announced yet, but it is a beautiful book!

I have had the same experience with Media Mail shipments from Lividian recently. I am amazed at how quickly they arrive.

My Fairy Tale slipcase arrived yesterday, and it is beautiful.  I can't find the actual book that goes with it (it's in the library somewhere . . .) but I'm sure it'll look great.

The only knock I have is that I can't afford to spend $60+ on a slipcase every time. It's going to get expensive FAST.  But saying that, the one from Lividian is worth every dollar it cost.  It's a stunning production.

Just received my Fairy Tale slipcase. It's awesome! More than I was hoping for really. As previously stated, it fits the Simon & Schuster special edition perfectly. So happy Lividian decided to make this slipcase as I still feel a bit tricked by Simon & Schuster for not including a slipcase with their special edition. I know I'll never fall for "printed case" in a description again. Thanks again Lividian!!!

Very glad I picked up Lividian's edition of THE STORE. I already had a signed UK 1st HC of it, so had skipped it for a while, but was finally lured by a sweet deal. I should've known better than to hesitate...Lividian's production is really top-notch. A few pics here:

That sounds like it's going to be a gorgeous chapbook!!!

[Brian James Freeman]

The new chapbook for Patreon supporters on the $5 tier and higher will begin shipping in a few weeks (you can still join today and qualify!), and I'm pleased to report this one represents the next evolution of our Patreon chapbook program.

The envelopes that "house" the chapbook will now feature custom artwork printed in silver metallic ink. This is the same style of art as our designer would create for the foil stamping for a Limited Edition book: IMG_4206-1024x768.jpg

The "Doing Dirty Work" chapbook will be perfect bound (not stapled), printed in full color throughout, and features terrific original color cover AND color interior artwork by François Vaillancourt. I'll show off more of that art on my Patreon in the coming weeks.

More news soon!

Just got mine and the special edition from Scribner fits absolutely perfectly.

Kudos to Lividian for the entire process from pre-order to payment to delivery.

2 thumbs up and I'm a very happy customer.

The Lividian slipcase for Fairy Tale is probably the best aftermarket slipcase I have ever purchased. I have two versions of the book. The fit for the US 1st (US Printed) is perfect with brodart on the book. The fit for the UK 1st while slightly tighter is still near perfect. The only negative, and it really is not a negative, is that the cover image for the UK edition does not fit with the cut out.

I will also add that Mr. Freeman continues to under-promise and over-deliver with his Patreon!

Wow, these pictures look great. Makes me even more excited to receive mine, which should arrive this weekend! Don't know how Lividian is able to turn their slipcases out so quickly when it feels like it takes other publishers forever! Kudos to Lividian & their slipcase makers!!!

We almost got lucky on that UK edition! If the title design was a little different, the window would have been perfect.

If the title was not visible it would be great. The image is actually a perfect fit.

The custom slipcase for FAIRY TALE will be shipping in a few weeks! This slipcase has been tested on the Simon & Schuster 1st printing hardcover (both USA and Italy printed) and the Simon & Schuster Limited Edition, and the fits are good. All other editions (like Non-US editions) are untested.

Payment request emails will be sent out TOMORROW, Tuesday, March 14. If you preordered directly from Lividian and do not receive the email by early afternoon (New York time), please let me know. (Paying ASAP will really help us ship these more efficiently, thank you!)
