Very cool, I've looked at the KONG title more than once on those PS newsletters...as you say, looks very interesting.

New Kong title from PS Publishing, The Screenplay. Very interesting, lots of history.

Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostI recently received the first three titles in Thunderstorm Books's new line entitled Screaming Cacti. This new lettered line encompasses both Deluxe traycased/clamshell editions (like the forthcoming Fracassi lettered) and these partial cloth/ partial leatherbound editions, which will have a slipcase for every four volumes of titles (though I'm kinda hoping that Paul will change his mind and do a traycase instead). I know that there are some diehard dustjacket fans on the forum and I love a dustjacket as well, but there is something about a well-designed non-jacketed book that can get me pretty excited and Thunderstorm has done some very nice non-jacketed books in the past. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this line, but I really dig the design and the yellow really pops next to the dark leather. Future volumes are going to be bound in different colors of cloth, which I think is a nice way to keep the books looking fresh while still feeling like a cohesive set. Overall, I really like the books.

Holy smokes, Mike, that's incredible...that's a set of books I've always regretted passing on, and that gorgeous poster just takes that regret to the next level! I'll never pull the trigger on the Thunderstorm S/L HCs at this point, but that beautiful stack of tpbs makes me rethink my prior reluctance and wonder if that's a great way to remedy that error in judgement and spend what would seem to be just a couple hundred bucks for the entire set.

I was a little surprised there wasn't a slipcase, but none of their other Weir books had one, so it was consistent. But as SubPress slow inches closer and closer to $200 for their books, I'd like to see something more. Of course though, then it would be a $250 book and I would have a much harder time justifying that purchase.

Wow, looks great! Really love those end papers. Do wish that SubPress would include some interior art or a slipcase when their titles approach the $200 mark, but otherwise, this is a fantastic pick-up! Hope to find one for myself on the aftermarket at some point.
And I’m hardpressed to disagree about the price/benefit ratio this time around. A simpler presentation was okay with ARTEMIS, but it was half the cost of HAIL PROJECT MARY. At nearly $200, there’s a greater expectation that, other than two-color used throughout, wasn’t really realized this time around. I’m pleased to have it, but it’s a little underwhelming when, for example, compared to similarly-priced titles from Suntup or Centipede.

Super jealous! Project Hail Mary sold-out before I could snag a copy. Am hoping I can find a copy on the secondary market at some point.

Wile E. Young gave me this sweet Poster. I popped into a $5.00 Goodwill frame today, it will get star treatment later on. One of the coolest things I brought home fro Scares That Cares.
