Like Ron, this is a record for me, I have laid out $500 for a book and yes, it was also a Bradbury title, The Arkham edition of Dark Carnival.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

But even that very desirable item would be a stretch of fiscal sensibility (read: I’m typically kinda conservative/cheap) that I just don’t know I could make.

As it was on the pricey side to begin with, bump in pricing from anticipated to actual gave me pause. But ultimately the Zimakov engravings won me over here. This is the first book I've bought from Centipede - though there are a few out of print titles I'd like to add to my library. Will be interesting to see what their 'Dune' brings to the table - I actually quite liked what FS did with 'Dune' and only wish they'd been able to add even more Sam Weber illustrations.

I did. I went for this over the latest Suntup book, which didn't interest me enough to purchase. I'm also going to buy Dune, and that's all I have on my want list at the moment.

I don’t want to speak for Jared, but based on my conversations with him last week, those interested in buying DUNE should be aware that it requires a commitment of buying the entire DUNE series (unless it doesn’t sell out in the advance pre-order, which I think is highly unlikely), which Centipede will be publishing at $500+ per volume. Not sure if everybody was aware of that or not...I wasn’t, so had to decline my spot on the advance notification list for DUNE.Last edited by RonClinton; 09-23-2020, 05:08 PM.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton
