I signed up through the website fairly recently (when they announced the Lansdale series) and think I have gotten them all since. I use Firefox as my browser and all my book stuff comes through a Yahoo email address if that helps at all.Originally Posted by Martin
That’s a good point. But I don’t recall any hoops for PS but who knows
I resubscribed to SST tonight and for the confirmation email.
Speaking of SST my Trembaly Ghosts arrived today so that was a pleasant surprise. Box was beat to hell though - can’t tell if something was trying to get in, or out ...
Tried signing up through a different email address and received an immediate confirmation. I assume that Comcast was somehow blocking the confirmation email without even sending it to me as possible spam.
I haven't received a PS email in awhile but thought I had jumped through all their hoops when I did it for all the other UK publishers, etc. Might just need to sign back up.
PS is pretty consistent in sending a newsletter out every Friday. If you are not receiving it there is an issue.
Mine came today as well and the box was a mess. My first thought when J read the line about not knowing if something was trying to get in or get out was SET and Paul pull off the greatest stunt ever and bring you Head Full of Ghosts in a box full of ghosts.
SST just tweeted they are down to the last 4 copies of Ghost. Run if you want one
And keep in mind, this is the first in a 4 book set. So those who are goofy for matching numbers need to start here.
Just got my copy of Tremblay's "Ghosts" in the mail as well. This was my first purchase with SST; so, I wasn't sure what to expect. Opened the box and was blown away. The books itself looks fantastic. The paper quality is great and I think the bonus materials that were included rock. Add into all of this that Paul also included a handwritten thank-you note for the purchase as well as throwing in a couple of discount cards for future purchases. Needless to say, I will be ordering from SST again. In fact, my happiness with the book and Paul's service led me to preorder Lebbon's "The Silence" this morning. Thanks again to Paul & SST!
Paul is a fantastic guy. I keep all those postcards with the books. it's such a nice touch.
Got my copy today as well, and I'm again impressed by SST's production qualities and attention to detail and, as mentioned by sholloman81, customer service. This is, I think, my third SST volume and it certainly won't be my last. In fact -- again, also like sholloman -- I'm giving that Lebbon volume a second look: I enjoyed the book in its tpb form and like Lebbon and generally collect his stuff, so those enclosed discount cards are looking pretty attractive...
Are you getting the other Tremblay books?
No, only the collection GROWING THINGS (which I know frustrates your sense of matching-number continuity ;-)).
I was a bit underwhelmed with DISAPPEARANCE AT DEVIL'S ROCK, and while I enjoyed THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD a bit more it wasn't the stunner that many found it to be...I thought it was unnecessarily oblique (though I appreciate that it had to be to a certain degree, given the plot), almost frustratingly so. If HEAD was a 9 (and a damn solid 9 at that! Great book!), then DISAPPEARANCE was a 6 and CABIN a 7. I have signed trades 1sts of all three books, so only felt I needed to upgrade HEAD. I'm holding off buying GROWING THINGS to force a purchase of the S/L (which I would have wanted to do anyhow so as to match my S/L HC of his other collection).
