:(
Keep us posted, I would sure like to know too.
CD sucks when it comes to their Lettereds. they do not place much of an importance on them, and they wait forever before they release them.
Honestly I don't know why they bother with Lettereds, as they are so slow with them.
I know. I should expect this by now.
So continues the saga of disappointed collectors when dealing with CD:angry:
And I thought we had to wait a long time for the numbered editions...wow.
i'm due one of these also...
i'm also waiting on lettereds of CENTURY'S BEST and DARK FORCES
and all my PS purchases still.
patience is a virtue...
i sure am one virtuous SOB 4 sure :)
Shouldn't there be an obligation not to collect funds for book II, before the Lettered book I is issued? :pullhair:
You don't say!
I just got a flyer in the mail from CD and to my chagrin they talk about the laqtest missing CD Magazine and why they are late - a legitimate excuse I see, BUT they decide to give everyone that is getting it the next one for free - Whoopie Pickle! I already have a lifetime subscription - by my best calculations I figure that means I do not get one for free.
yes Virginia, there is no Santa Claus (located at this small press/publisher in baltimore, MD) ! :-) RC must be related to Fred Claus instead! or the Grinch!
And Thank God I never got into collecting Lettered Editions!
I've only got 2 CD lettered editions (A Richard Laymon and an Edward Lee) and that's only because I got a screaming good deal on them. Other than the binding, ribbon, and (fairly standard) traycase, I don't see the need to go that extra dollar.
The "rarity" of them is really where the price is.
Price would be why I don't have any. :lol:
I love the Cemetary Dance books, they're well done, and i'll get more when I can afford em. I do have Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished, and I love it. However, I'll wait until AFTER the books are DEFINITELY out, and order from what's left. I know better than to place an advance order with em. :lol:
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I'll preorder Cemetary Dance books, but with the understanding that they will take MUCH longer to be published than what CD says. If they state that a title will be due in Spring, 2008, for example, I won't expect to even start looking for it until at least Winter of that year. And I won't be surprised when it takes even longer than that. Granted, their requiring prepayment for upcoming titles is annoying, but as long as you understand that the book will come out, eventually, sometime, hopefully, you won't be TOO disappointed.

I am with ya on that one John. When I do get my books its always a nice surprise and I can tell my wife not to worry they have been paid for for quite some time! And I have never had a problem with the quality!
I love the quality of CD books. Just their standard S/L books are great alone! Good binding, quality material, etc.
I've probably got 25 or more of their books. I'll have many more in the future!!! :P
As for pre-order, I don't think I've done that yet, but if I do, I figure that the books will either come out at some point, or we'll get refunded. I know from some friends that Bev's book took forever!!!!
I bought mine after the fact.
Did CD ever state an expected date on any of the editions of Volume 2? I paid for the numbered, but I didn't even bother looking to see when they thought they might issue the book.
I can't find any mention of the publication date. Here's the CD link:
Secretary of Dreams Vol. 2
John
In many ways, no mention of a publication date feels the most honest. Kudos to CD for not setting unrealistic expectations.
When they emailed me to ask if I wanted to buy the signed with the same number as my Vol 1, I though it mentioned a "Spring '08" release. But you can take that at face value.
I just reviewed all my CD emails regarding Secretary of Dreams 2 (yes, I kept them all) and I see no mention of a date in any of them.
John
Same here as John. I have found no mention. But as I posted above, that's ok with me for now.
If it comes in 2008 (late at best), that's fine, but I wouldn't be suprised at an early '09 release.
If it's 2010, at that point I would be very upset.
I was able to pre-order this through Horror-Mall, which is a new site from Delirium and Bloodletting books and they have it as a 6/08 release.

6/08 is early! IMHO
I just figured it would be faster thatn Vol I as they have the peripheral stuff done - the tray cases, etc.
I hope they are the same! Would look pretty stupid if they are different.
