In response to multiple requests, we are permitting people to purchase the following five Special Limited Editions before we go to print in January and it’s not possible to do so anymore. There will be a few extras, but we can’t know how many at this point. We can do this because we’re still waiting for Arkhaven illustrator Ademir Leal to finish the chapter-heading illustrations for OUT OF THE SHADOWS; all 35 of them are already complete for the other two Signed First Editions.
In other news, the laser cutting system is now fully installed and operational, and both of the very rare rounding-and-backing machines have been fixed and are fully functional for the first time since the first one was dropped by the transport company five years ago. There is also some behind-the-scenes drama regarding the US bindery which I will share on tonight’s Darkstream; we’re optimistic about a positive resolution, but it’s by no means guaranteed. However it turns out, though, it will have absolutely no effect on our ability to produce our books and get them out to you.
Please note that we will not be offering additional Libraria editions of the two books by Homer since we have already taken deliver of the goatskins for them, and unlike the pigskins, we do not have an excessive supply of them. All five books will also be available via NDM Express later today as well; keep that in mind in case you’re having credit card issues.
