Ordered mine through CD so no shipping notice yet. The book looks fantastic.

Label has been printed for the Lettered!

And it's here! It'll be a few hours before I can dive into it but so stoked!

Just received my copy of 20th Century Ghosts. Wow, what an awesome looking book. Think I may like this one even better than Revival, and that's saying something. The production values on both of these books makes me glad that I also preordered the Night Country (even though I've never read anything by O'nan). Can't wait to see what Lividian offers for preorder next. Hope they take a page from Suntup and tease the next book before the actual preorder window opens.

As far as the initial true first edition hardcovers from PS- not counting trade paperbacks, 50 copy variant "F-Con" copies, and later reissues- I believe it was "simply":

1-200 Deluxe Copies in slipcase, signed by Hill & Golden

1-500 copies (no slipcase) signed by Hill only.

There might have been some bonus material in the Deluxe edition (according to http://www.joehillbibliography.com/), but I'll have to dig out my buried copy to see what it may be. Note, they bear slightly different dust jackets as well.

Yep. What Ron states here is correct. Supposedly those F-Con copies contained the bonus material as well and weren't supposed to be distributed with such.

Just grab the Lividian copy and you're covered .

I thought the book was 1 - 200 Deluxe and 201 - 500 Limited. Is is 1 - 200 Deluxe and 1 - 500 Limited?

Based on my copy, it does appear to be the latter.

Upon further research, that was my mistake, Ron. The book you have is also a limited but wasn't slipcased or signed by Golden. 500 were published. I can't recall what the limitation page of your book looks like though. I only have the deluxe copy.

Oddly, mine is numbered 119, but is neither slipcased nor signed by Golden (just Hill).

Hot damn. Received my copy today. No red box but that is okay. Not really sure what that was about but I'm assuming something to do with Patreon (sp?)? Maybe someone can fill me in.

I am not just blowing smoke when I say this is one of the nicest looking books I own.

There is a timeless look to the book cover itself and then I opened it up and was struck by the quality of the book. The weight, binding, and paper are all just very pleasing and give an attitude of quality workmanship. Then the little touches such as the border around the pages elevates it a little more when coupled with the artwork.

I am really pleased with this purchase.

Thank you, Brian.Very well done.

I'm thinking the red box was for Patreon supporters on the level to receive the limiteds.

Mine was updated to deliver today. Woot!

I have seen this message before and it is 50/50 that it will actually show up today. However it will either be today or Monday!

#1-#200 were slipcased and also signed by Christopher Golden. #201-#500 were not slipcased and only signed by Joe. Both published on the same date so the later numbers aren't 2nd printings. The rarest are the 20 copies sold at the Britisch Fantasy Con. Numbered with the prefix F'con.

Oddly, mine is numbered 119, but is neither slipcased nor signed by Golden (just Hill).
