    There's one full-page B&W interior that I'm not particular crazy about, but the rest of the (smaller) illustrations -- and especially the front and back covers -- look great. I thought they did a nice job, and it feels appropriate to the work.

    And I can be kinda tough on artwork...I was all set to go for an AE of Suntup's THE GODFATHER, but the artwork just didn't hit me right so decided to skip it. I may change my mind down the road and buy the book in spite of the artwork, but at the moment it just doesn't work for me as a package.

    Re: THE LONG WALK: Lord, have I been pining for this book ever since it was revealed. I just reread it last year- after probably 20 or more years since the last reading- and was nervous about it holding up to the very high standards I've always had it at in my mind. It did not disappoint. It's easily the best Bachman Book, and among King's best stories full stop (still amazes me that he wrote this in college). I always dig the Keegan's work, but was/am not entirely convinced they were nailing the general vibe I've had in my head for so long. At least from the few images on the product page.

    I think you'll like the ADF book. I was expecting it to be a decent read, but it was better than that.
    Could not agree more...wasn't expecting a great deal, but ended up really enjoying it (more so than DARK STAR, which was an interesting read but not particularly satisfying).

"The Long Walk" is a much thicker book than I was expecting. Don't remember the novella being quite that long; however, it has been many years since I read the Bachman book collection. In terms of the Foster book, it was a complete impulse buy for me. Decided to purchase it since Jerad was offering signed copies at $15 dollars with the purchase of "Long Walk". Have never read anything by this author; however, I love most of the movies that the order-page mentioned; so, I'm sure that there's a good chance that I will like it. Worst case, it cost me less than ordering a pizza!

    Hmm, never heard of this one. I just bought the kindle edition to see if I like it enough to spend money on the CP edition (as if we don't already know the answer to that question).

    When it comes to a Centipede Press release schedule, it's much easier (and shorter) to list those titles I *don't* want...

    As far as the Grant, I'm not usually a MotWT guy -- I have only three (Wagner, Burks, and Jacobi) -- but I think I'm going to go for this one. The PS Pub collection of a few years ago, SCREAM QUIETLY, was okay, but I felt it left a good deal of room for improvement. This Centipede collection should be just the ticket.

Dumas is at a significantly higher price point than what I had expected. I'm sure this is to help separate it from the Sub Press edition, but I had a little bit of sticker shock. And more McDowell!

    I'm also very intrigued by the upcoming Weird Tales book. This sounds to be a very interesting project and look forward to getting it into my hands.

    Last but not least...GHOST STORY and SHADOWLAND!!! Man, it might be at the end of the year (and wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get pushed into Spring 2024 with the all the various delays publishers have been dealing with), but these are two big ones for me. If there are deluxe editions, I'm gonna have to break the bank to get them.
    Agree!

    Definitely, but still more than I had thought it was going to land at. My wallet is wishing that it was cheaper, but my collector's OCD is happy as it sounds like Castle might aesthetically match Hill House making it a nice looking set on the shelf.
