Same, though I hope the sale does well for Bill...very cool of him to be so generous and charitable with the proceeds.

Agreed. Very nice of him to give these proceeds to charity. He could just take the profits for himself and no one would blink.

Yeah, neither the prices nor the titles knocked my socks off so it was an easy pass.

Anybody pick something up from the PC sale today? A lot more lettered editions than I thought there would be. Nothing jumped out at me so I saved few dollars.

I was only interested in the McCammon lettered editions. The prices were good but not super low so I kept my money also. Kudos to Bill for giving the proceeds to charity.

I was surprised how fast this sold out as well. I’d never heard of the series either. I wound up passing—too many books coming out right now!—but it looks like a fun read.

I very much enjoyed the series. I ordered it.

Glad you snagged a copy, too! It was a 5am order for me but I’m glad I let a rare impulsive buy rule the morning. Between this 5am order and waking up early on Sunday for the Centipede newsletter and potential ordering, it’s tough being a small-press customer on West coast time...

first read it because I wanted something 'Scalzi Like'. It was fine but I do not feel the need to seek out more. Hope you like it better than I did. I also completely agree that it should be easy to sell should you so choose. I think it is a very popular series and I believe many of the fans are unaware that a limited is in the offing.

Hopefully it’ll be released soon, so that I can give you my thoughts. I also have to say, along with Scalzi, it also reminded me of Robert Cargill’s novel (up top), which I enjoyed.

It’s a total impulse buy for me. I hadn’t even heard of the series until Subterranean’s email last week, but I’ve really, really been in the mood for accessible, thrilling, humor-tinged sci-fi with humanity and heart — guess I’m looking for a new Scalzi — and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly, based on all the reviews I read. If I don’t like it it should be pretty easy to flip, based on the rapid sell-out.

I have read the first two in the series and never considered ordering this. I know these are very popular but not something I will read more than once,

Holy smokes, the pre-order for the MURDERBOT collection by Martha Wells sold out in under a half-hour. There were still copies when I checked back ten minutes after pre-order opened (though the lettereds were gone) but none when I checked back after 30 minutes...so sometime between 11 minutes and 29 minutes, all copies sold. Amazing how fast a(n apparently very) popular title can sell out, even with premium pricing...I mean, that’s “Centipede fast!”

Sub Press is offering grab bags today if anyone is interested. My grab bag dats are behind me for now, but they’re great deals for those who can take advantage of them.

I know, right? Maybe nostalgia factor for someone or a completist. I remember skimming that edition when I was a eight or nine and would spend every afternoon in our town's TINY library.

The Shining was the first SK book I ever purchased, back in the early '80s. It's pretty beat up too, but I still have it.
