We definitely have recieved a different email then.
Mine says nothing.
But good to know, thanks !

I wonder why the limitation is only half of what it was for "Night Shift"? Surely "The Stand" is a more popular book

It is only mentioned in the email to the CDCC email.

Not sure why they changed limitation, was trying to match portfolio number to book number, but my book number is greater then 350.

CD did indeed remove the 350; think the reason might be the portfolio kept selling (it's still not sold-out, and with only 350 available that doesn't really make sense) so they decided to life the 350 ban. I'd definitely get in touch with CD and ask if they can match your AE-numbered. I did, but then my number was below 350.

sk

it always bothers me when a limit is changed to a larger print run. A smaller print run ( as advertised) meant higher collectability, If I buy something limited to 350 and then find that limitation changed I feel bamboozled , lured by a low run only to have that change. Other publishers have done this ( Borderlands I am staring directly at YOU) . Just for the record, I did not buy the portfolio anyway, just saying. I don't like it no sir

Yes but the numbered artists editions for the DD years have all had a limitation of 750 as well as the portfolios. So removing the possibility for 400 customers to match their portfolio (or even get one) goes right out the window. It's a bit of a puzzling decision.

I have seen NO-ONE talking about it, although amazon says that the release date was a couple of weeks ago : was "A FACE IN THE CROWD / THE LONGEST DECEMBER" actually released on march 7th?

I doubt it is released yet, as it says "usually ships within 4 to 5 weeks" (I think they mean years).

This--along with the disaster that was CD Magazine 78 (misspelling King's name?! along with pathetic shipping and NEW REVIEWS for books such as If It Bleeds)--is addressed in a nice apology on the product update page. https://www.cemeterydance.com/production-updates.html

I just recently cancelled all open orders except for the remaining double day years Stand & Pet Sematary. 27 orders in total but many were so old they were purchased years ago with the 50% of gift certificate which was a good deal then but now has left me with a large account credit, about 40% of the total refund.

I considered doing the same thing (I have pre-paid for maybe 14 books); since I also bought double-your-money gift certificates and made multiple purchases on July the 4th sales, I ultimately decided against it. What would I do with the store credit? The CD magazine fiasco is just the latest dumpster fire. It is sad to see what CD has become, and I wonder how long they can proceed on bad faith.

Which Pet Sem editions were available for preorder today?

Another money grab from our CD friends ... can't say what it is, as the email swears us to secrecy ... but if they sell through all 3 editions that will be another $822,250 in revenue ... forthcoming in 2024, yeah right ... is taking all that cash even legal? It certainly seems unethical.

I received the email but didn't see it until now, and the link no longer works. I'd already decided to skip PS, but if it looks nice enough, well...so I'd like to see what they've cooked up.

Got email too but hesitated as I feel this company has cash flow issues. I doubt if they can deliver the stand on time. I pity those people who prepaid for this series in bulk a long time ago.

No, none of the CD Doubleday editions have been signed by King.

...just paid closer attention and realized you were asking about Pet Semetary, not PS Publishing, sorry for the confusion. (I'm a dumbass, it's a CD thread after all.)

Perhaps this is why the link no longer works. From the email they sent out:

"Please note: If we see any public mentions of this on social media or message boards, we will have no choice but to disable the link for everyone."

Well I have the money now but no link. Must sit and wait and never leave again for fear of missing my next and maybe last shot at a complete matched set.

I have nothing to go on besides my gut feeling but I don't think CD truly cares if we share the link. They can only stand to make more money in a shorter period of time if we do. Reverse psychology 101 brought to you by the sketchiest publisher in the industry.

"Status: forthcoming 2024"

I wouldn't fret. There's bound to be another super secret pre-sale, and then a regular pre-sale, and then a general public sale.

Not that I'm cynical, you see.

This is wholly on them.
They should be capable of sending a link that only works when logged in for certain accounts, or the ability to verify a purchase against previous orders. Or at least having a one time generated password that goes with the email (eg everyone gets a different password that only works once)

Customers aren't responsible for maintaining this company's marketing scheme

Anyone who wanted this probably got the link anyway because CD sends ten billion emails. It was already dead 2 hours after sending though

Anyway I'm happy to skip this one anyway, thinking of cancelling The Stand as well tbh. I wish another publisher was in charge of these books

Weird I didn't get the email. Maybe they filtered out those who already had a copy ordered? I did get a couple of other CDCC emails yesterday though.
