SubPress Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi. Just a very quick note to let everyone know that we should start sending out copies of the Limited and Lettered Editions of [i]A Feast for Crows [/i]by the end of next week, provided our shippers keep the pace in our current shipping marathon. I'll try to drop by here once shipping starts and update everyone. Also, I won't know until the shipping is done, but we may have a [i]few[/i] of the two-volume limited edition sets available. If so, news will likely go out via our email newsletter. You can sign up on the main page of our website.

SubPress Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi everyone. Shipping of the limited and lettered editions has just begun. The first batch should be headed out USPS/UPS tomorrow. Best, Bill www.subterraneanpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Terrific. Thanks for the update, Bill. :) As I recall, there was going to be an booklet of art for preorders, and a drawing as well for an original piece of the Canty art IIRC. When will the result of that be published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got 5 books lined up at the printer to ship right now, so we'll likely hold the drawing for the original Canty illos when our shippers are a little closer to caught up.

Sword of the Morning Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi Bill, I have both a lettered and a numbered on order with you. Will I be getting both in one shipment or will they be staggered and separate? Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dennis[/quote] I suspect our shippers will be sending the editions separately, but I haven't given them specific instructions on how to handle this, so it will be at their discretion.

There may be a few extra copies left when all the shipping is done, but we're most likely to offer them through our newsletter, and not put them up on the site.

Robert's Last Bastard Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Bill- Please excuse my ignorance, but I have never ordered a book with an original remarque. How do you identify the remarque on the signature page? What does the normal signature page look like? I have numbered copies of the first three books, so this is my first lettered in the series. I feel like this is probably a stupid question- but I just can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Tom did such a job of integrating the illos into the sig pages, that I can't even tell where the sig page stops and the illo starts on my copy of the book.

SubPress is pretty much central Michigan, so if you live a ways away maybe it will take a bit longer to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I expect my lettered copy (CC) tomorrow. OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT. I do wish FEAST was a more fitting conclusion to the series, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you happy? !!![/quote] The book(s) are beautiful and I'm very happy with the results. The slipcase is an improvement over Storm of Swords with some stamping on em (still wish they had the artwork on em thou like the MM lettered versions of book 1 and 2). But all in all I like it, and it doesn't hurt that I'm a big Canty fan (The chapbook was a nice surprise!) So Thank You to Subpress and I look forward to the next book ...........lol..........sob sob.........please george...... :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yes, all in all I'm quite happy with the end result. The interior illustrations are beautiful, possibly my favorite so far. The covers are very nice. The end pages and signature page on the lettered edition is excellent. The slipcase is, indeed, a big improvement over the STORM OF SWORDS slipcase, which was a serious oversight as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, it'd be nice if the lettered editions had the art on the slipcase like the MM editions but this slipcase is beautiful for what it is and I'm happy with it. I do like the all edge gilt and bound in bookmarks in the MM editions, but the paper quality and so forth is better in the Sub Press editions. The only real complaint I have at this point (and theres nothing to be done about this) are the inconsistencies in terms of features and such from one book to the next. Each individual volume is beautiful (particularly, in my opinion, the MM GAME OF THRONES and the Sub Press FEAST FOR CROWS) but the MM volumes bear little resemblence to the Sub Press volumes. That's probably unavoidable with another company taking over mid-series but I can't help but wish we could have taken the best parts of the MM volumes and the best parts of the Sub Press volumes and applied them to all 4 books. Don't take any of this to mean I'm not thrilled with A FEAST FOR CROWS; it is really a beautiful edition and I'm extremely happy to have an unbroken lettered set. I just wish the books were consistently beautiful in the same ways as opposed to different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
