Toyed with the idea of the one that is probably of less interest to most than the other, but I already have another mm edition of it, so not sure.

Since they announced both today I can say that I went for both because The Silence was such a great book that I wanted it and n a limited edition. I had to go for magic feather because I needed it to match the button box.![]()
I didn't get SST's GBB so I passed on GMF. Because HAD I bought GMF, I would have had to buy GBB and try to wrangle matching numbers and that's a lot for books I already own or have on pre-order in pretty sweet editions. But I just jumped on THE SILENCE. The fact that the pound to dollar conversion rate is a little lower played a factor. I really didn't want to start in with a new author considering I'm already committed to four Tremblay books and over $1k in Joe Hill books even though I've never read a word from either of them. UGH. But it's a happy problem I guess.
SST does not appear to want my money. I have tried multiple times to sign up for their email list and never get the confirmation email from them. How did those of you who are receiving emails from them sign up?
THAT'S weird. I would email Paul Fry directly. sstpublications@gmail.com He's really responsive and I can't imagine he couldn't iron it out for you.
I signed up by going to this page: https://sstpublications.co.uk/SST-Mailing-List.html
I imagine that's the same page you started with.

I'm in a slightly different boat: I don't have BUTTON BOX but do have MAGIC FEATHER coming from CD, so I'm debating about getting both BUTTON BOX and MAGIC FEATHER through SST so that I can have a matching set. I don't know...can't quite decide.
I think you'll like Tim Lebbon. I've enjoyed his work for some time but he doesn't get a lot of Signed Limited love lately. I have yet to pull the trigger on THE SILENCE though I'll probably do so soon. SST continues to hit that sweet spot for me with their new announcements.
If I didn't have 2 editions of GBB at the time, I definitely would have gotten SST's! Then I would have to get the matching GMF. If I were in your spot, I would get both SST editions especially since you need to read up on Gwendy before the sequel hits.
I own a signed SHIFTING OF VEILS by Lebbon. I got it in a grab bag from PS. Problem is it's the third installment in a trilogy and I haven't read the first two, so I've never cracked it. I wish I had so I'd know if Lebbon was my type of author.
That's what I'm think about the Gwendy books as well...It's just been a downpour of announcements lately, so adding those two editions stretches the budget mighty thin. As for Lebbon, the price point for THE SILENCE is very reasonable so I think it is worth the risk. It's gotten fairly good reviews as well, if I remember correctly.
Did you jump on an advance preorder of MARJORIE through DRP?
Was SST's Button Box numbered? I thought it was a signed unnumbered edition. I could be wrong though, it's been awhile. I do still have a handful of copies, I guess I could just go look...

Ok I just confirmed. They're more in line with our gift editions. They're not numbered or signed, but are limited. I think RC was flat signing copies that we sold of that one.

You know, a while back Great Britain passed pretty robust privacy policy laws to keep people’s info protected. Maybe those laws had something to do with some extra hardcore spam filtering coming across from the UK. I recall I had to agree to a bunch of terms and conditions from SST and PS to stay on their email lists.
