| Generally, I'm not a fan of the artwork Subterranean uses. But this volume has so much great stuff that I can't resist the purchase. |

| I really think the production will exceed the original planned Hill House edition with the additional artwork, etc. I don't mind the delay...it was getting to be an expensive first couple of months of the year with all the books coming out.
There is no official word, but since they are going with marbled paper sides I'm guessing the dust jacket has been decided against...? |
| |
| I think at this point it will only be available direct from Subterranean and a few specialty dealers but more than likely no commercial retailers.... |

| One can compare this price to the F451 edition by Vagabond Press, sometimes called the Steadman edition. That's been five years and it was priced at $300. Knowing the quality of SubPress's editions I had no problem paying for this new compilation.

| quote: Originally posted by djmonolith: I found this interesting blurb on the Subterranian site:
"A Few Things to Note: This SubPress/PS Publishing project will differ from the other publisher’s intended edition in a few ways: Added introductions Five new, full-color plates by Edward Miller commissioned especially for our edition A 7 by 10 inch trim size to make this not only a work of art, but a readable volume Printed in two colors throughout"
This implies that this collection may be released by other Publishers. Is this true?
If you read older emails about this book you will see than another publisher had the project. The project was resurrected by the good people at SubPress/PSPub.
