I was happy to be able to get my matching letter E until the book arrived. Speaks was published more than 20 years ago, is there a typical amount of time the rights will hold for? If River City no longer exists, then once Leviathan is published, let's circle back to the beginning and do Speaks the right way!

Hey! You must have been reading my mind while I was typing my last post! Thanks for the info. That situation seems rather misleading on River City's part. Don't understand that thinking at all and would definitely turn me off from buying any books from them since they don't seem to understand the market at all.

That's because there was no lettered edition. A few years ago, presumably somebody at River City decided to use letters on the remaining (?) stock, probably to try to justify asking higher prices. But there was no lettered state when the limited was produced.

When Camelot Books had this magical stock of "lettered" editions a few years ago, I stated then that they weren't really lettered books, but people ignored what I had to say---and some argued with me---and bought the books at elevated prices anyway. But here's the thing: I was involved with River City during that whole process. They had never done a limited edition before. They didn't even know what a limited edition typically looked like until i explained it to them. They knew nothing about lettered editions, and when they produced the limited, they were just numbered. How many they actually produced is a mystery. They initially wanted to do 5000 copies. I told them they were nuts. I suggested a limitation of 300 to 500. I don't know how many they actually did, but I believe it was around 500. But they never publicly revealed the limitation, so my guess is just a guess based on my conversations and recommendations with them at the time.Last edited by goathunter; 04-04-2023, 08:20 PM.

You are not wrong, River City still owns the rights to Speaks The Nightbird. It's a complicated mess. There have been efforts to try and secure the rights but River City has been unresponsive. It is unclear if they even still exist.

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.

Originally posted by Martin View PostI 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!
