From www.liftingshadows.com


Today we're announcing the publication date for the two new editions of Lifting Shadows: 30th November 2009.

The books are currently being printed, and they'll be sent out from our warehouse in the days immediately after the publication date. The delivery time will vary depending on where you are in the world, but you should receive your order in plenty of time for Christmas.

The publication date will also mark the end of the pre-order period. So orders placed after 30th November will no longer benefit from the 15% discount  on the Classic Edition. If you haven't placed your order yet, now's the time to buy.

Finally, if you have already placed your order, please take a moment to check that we have the correct shipping details for you.

It's a little while since the first orders were placed, so if your address has changed since ordering you'll need to let us know. You can update your details online using the weblink at the bottom of your confirmation email. Please note that any amendments to your shipping address must be made by 23rd November 2009

Yay!

Though there is already a sticky thread about the book Rich Although admittedly a lot of people ignore sticky threads.

Which is exactly why I did it! Sorry man. Couldn't resist. I just don't want any unhappy DT fans who will moan at me if they missed out on the discount 

[ariich]

Nah it's all good, Nick swapped the stickies around and I posted an update in that one linking to here, so hopefully we have everyone covered.

Awesome timing makes for a great birthday present for me. I have quite a few things that I want to read over holiday break and this is at the top of the list. Can't wait!

[Rich Wilson]

In case this makes a difference to anyone, the publishers are adding Paypal as a payment option for the book . . .

[bosk1]

For what it's worth, that actually makes a pretty big difference for me--probably the difference between not getting it and (now) getting it.

[SystematicThought]

So when do you sign the limited editions? I've always been curious about where in the publishing process the books are signed

[Rich Wilson]

I was sent a stack of 2000 pieces of paper, which were all signed, then sent back to the printers. They then crop the pages and bind them into the book!

How many pens, markers did you have to use?

[Rich Wilson]

Went through two sharpies . . .

If anyone is interested in my 1st edition of Lifting Shadows I am selling it on ebay so I can save up for this next semester of college.

Sorry if this goes against the rules to post this.  I don't remember it being something we couldn't do though.

Last three days to secure a pre-order discount, so if you were thinking of ordering then you might as well save some money!

Had my parents order it as a Christmas present a few days ago. I'm very interested to see who gets the Golden Book. Good luck to everyone that preordered, and if someone on here gets it, please post.  Hopefully I win, but I'd be almost as happy if any of you get it 

[Rich Wilson]

The publishers have posted a video of the first copies to arrive in their office being unpacked:

[Nihil-Morari]

Cool!

I'll be waiting at my mailbox for the next two weeks, that's for sure!

[SystematicThought]

So they'll be shipped the week of the 7th-11th or sometime this week. Sorry, Rich, I am kind of confused

[Rich Wilson]

The Classic Edition should be shipped this week. Once the publishers / distributors receive the limited, leather edition (which should be the end of this week/ beginning of next) then they will ship too

[Rich Wilson]

The pre-order discount ends today at 5pm UK time (GMT)

[Rich Wilson]

Here's the first pic of the limited edition!

[SystematicThought]

  Those look great!

[2Timer]

Wow...I knew I should have ordered the limited edition.

[SystematicThought]

Production problem eh..

Looks like the Count of Tuscany didn't want the world to know about his story.

Seriously though, I am fine with the wait, it gives me something to look forward to

[Rich Wilson]

Incidentally, there are still copies of the limited edition available . . .

[Rich Wilson]

Production problem eh..

Yeah - only a delay of a few days. They needed to make sure the books were properly shrink-wrapped but nothing major. More info here:  https://liftingshadows.com/2009/12/02/lifting-shadows-hot-off-the-press/

[ariich]

I'd hardly even call that a "production problem"

Looking forward to getting my copy in time for Christmas. My present to myself

[blackngold29]

Wow, cool pictures that would be a neat place to work.
