after ye Masters of the Weird Tale book is done
Most copies of A Mountain Walked have been shipped. There are still a handful to go, but all should be sent out by Wednesday. . . . If you were on the waiting list for A Mountain Walked, you may be out of luck. But I did some unsigned copies as well and there could be some of those still available. I'll know more in a week or so.
That brings up one other point. I'm thinking about doing a reprint of around 700 copies. It would be the same book, but without the signature pages or the slipcase. The retail would probably be $50. Would anyone be interested in this? Let me know your thoughts and we can go from there. Thank you!
My feeling is that A Mountain Walked is such an important anthology of Cthulhu Mythos fiction, and such an amazing volume as published by Centipede Press, with all that awesome colour artwork &c, that a reprint volume sounds a very good idea indeed!! If ye are interested in the reprint of A Mountain Walked let Jerad know via email at jerad@centipedepress.com.
At 50 dollars for a limited hardcover of 700 copies...I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, would love a copy of A Mountain Walked, and to that end have sent an email to said Jerad at ye Centipede Press expressing that wish!
ReplyDeleteJust as soon as I saw that e-mail from Jerad yesterday I jumped right on it. It was going to be awhile before I would have been able to save for the original edition (not something I could really afford). I even be willing to preorder at a $50 pricetage.
ReplyDeleteI've also emailed Jerad in support of a second printing. The slipcase and signature sheets would be nice, but the projected $50 price tag is much more budget friendly.
ReplyDeleteIt would surprise me if he can actually offer the book for a mere $50. I have a feeling the actual price may increase to $60 or $70--but maybe not. I am half-way into the book and it is one of the finest Mythos anthologies I have ever read, each story an eldritch gem.
