Legacies.... Huh?... Oh yeah, I remember that one.

I don't know whether I should be thrilled, and marking my calendar in anticipation, or marking this day down as just another email that will mean another 4 year wait between updates.
(I really do sound like a grumpy old man in my posts, don't I?)
It looks like this thing might see the light after all.

Hi Folks!
We're pleased to report that Legacies edited by Richard Chizmar has been completed by the special binder who had to be hired to "oversew" the book due to the incredible number of tip-ins in each copy. You can see some photos of both editions of the book in our new photo gallery on the website. This is easily one of the most complicated and beautiful special editions we have published since we started Cemetery Dance in 1988!
For those who are new to the mailing list, Legacies is a landmark deluxe SIGNED Limited Edition featuring ten classic stories from the legends of dark fantasy and terror: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, David Morrell, Peter Straub, Robert Bloch, William F. Nolan, and George Clayton Johnson.
This beautiful special edition features cover artwork by Gail Cross and stunning interior art by Michael Apice, Jill Bauman, Glenn Chadbourne, Alan M. Clark, Stacy Drum, Keith Minnion, Mark Nelson, Phil Parks, Eric Powell, Erik Wilson, and Gahan Wilson.
This incredible collectible volume features a total of 29 tip-ins and was bound using a deluxe "oversewing" technique to provide better durability. There are eighteen pieces of full-color and black & white artwork printed on glossy archival paper and hand-tipped into the book. There are eleven different signature sheets, which also had to be hand-tipped into the book. Both editions also feature a satin ribbon page marker sewn into the book itself. (See the photo gallery for a picture.) Finally, both editions will be housed in hand-made custom traycases to protect your book.
A once-in-a-lifetime event, and an anthology that many are calling the most collectible book of the decade, Legacies is a must-have for any collector of great horror fiction!
The next step in the production process will be to make the deluxe hand-made traycases (BOTH the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition are traycased!), and this is one of our traycase maker's top priorities for the fall. He needed copies of the finished books to get the correct sizing because of the incredible number of tip-ins -- more than any other book we've ever published -- which prevented our printer and binder from making a dummy book for advance sizing. We will send out more updates on his production schedule as we have them.
