A question for anyone that has the lettered edition of Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth: is the traycase supposed to have two flaps, one on each side? The front one opens up like you'd expect, to the book. The back one just opens up on the bottom side of the traycase. It's very weird.

Sounds like the glue came undone.

that's what I was worried about. Ah well, simple enough fix I suppose. Thanks, Dan!

Hey Dan, any chance you guys have an extra traycase for Biofire hidden away somewhere?

A hearty "LOL" is an acceptable response here, for what it's worth, as I recognize CD published that one over 20 years ago.

Unless it's something that was released in the last couple of years or is a Stephen King book, than the answer is probably no. In this case it's no. I'm actually in the process of purging a lot of the newer stuff too, just no real reason to sit on loads of extras of some of this stuff.

"Purging" just sounds so sad... I'd love to give extra traycases a home. They'd make my books fell special, haha!

Unfortunately there just isn't really a home to give these extras. Generally speaking people just aren't interested in a case that doesn't go to their book. And if they already have the book, they already have a case for it. Luckily in more recent years the case manufactures have gotten much better about being closer to our actual order quantity (they're allowed something like 10% over or under our order quantity). I think the most aggregious example of over production was on the gift edition of IT. I think we had something like 2 full pallets of extra slipcases for that book.

Dan, you could retire on the profits from those IT slipcases

You say that, but we tried selling them. No one wanted them. In reality anyone who already has the book already has the case, and the case doesn't actually do you any good without the book. Unless your case is damaged.

Interesting. So much for that.

You frame this as a problem, but all I can see is an opportunity to build a sweet fort.

Indeed.

Oh, I'd have some fun with it. I could use them to make my bookshelf look fancier than it is. Or I could use them to pimp out the presentation on another book that fit.

Or for meta-humor, when available. I have a storage traycase that looks like an Edgar Allen Poe collection amongst my books. But if one were to open the traycase they would find a flask!

I think I found out where all the extra traycases for Biofire went: Camelot has them! So my lettered copy will not have to live in a damaged traycase now.
