As noted over on Patreon, our new slipcase maker also has a system in place for shipping customer orders for their clients, which we’re giving a try. This was an extremely well-timed development because we’re still working on the upgrades and renovations for our new office… plus, if someone else is able to meet the level of care and packing quality you expect from us, that frees up a lot of time for me to focus on other aspects of the business, such as getting even more books into production each year. In the meantime, please always feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns: brian@lividian.com
* We have 6 unannounced books at our various printers, and will ease back to sending one per month starting in January now that we’re catching up from our “production pause” during the move this past summer.
* The Haunted by Bentley Little shipped in August and The House by Bentley Little shipped in September.
* The Limited Edition of Leviathan by Robert McCammon shipped in October. The Lettered Edition will be ready early next year. (The Lettered Edition of Mystery Walk by Robert McCammon should also be ready early next year if all goes well.)
* The Ferryman by Justin Cronin has shipped out to everyone as of early December. (You can see a little video about the very cool binding material on Brian’s Patreon.)
* Lost Man’s Lane by Scott Carson is shipping now and most copies will be out the door before Christmas.
* Wraith by Joe Hill: we have an estimated completion date for the slipcases and it looks like the Limited Edition will be ready to ship in January. I had hoped to have them out the door this month, but when it comes to the supply chain, there’s only so much you can do. But we’re getting closer!
* Cases for the Lettered Edition of Wraith are just getting started but spring looks pretty solid for the ship date. See the photo below for the page edge design. We went with the “blood splatter” that Patreon supporters picked earlier this year. There are some copies of the Lettered Edition left available if you’re interested, here’s the link. Owning that Lettered Edition gets you lined up for the matching letter of the NOS4A2 Lettered Edition.
* Speaking of which, NOS4A2 (unannounced and not sold for preorder yet) will be next up in the Joe Hill set, and I have some really good news on that front. Everything for this one is ready for the printer, so once they recover from the other projects they’re printing for us right now, we’ll get that rolling. I’ll share some of the incredible artwork in a “behind the scenes” post soon over on Patreon.
