'Salem's Lot -- Centipede Press
This is the first Salem¹s Lot update. The bulk of the book is nearly on press with Finlay Printing of Connecticut. The colophon, which will hold the signatures of Mr King and Mr Uelsmann, are being printed now, along with the photographs of Mr Uelsmann as meticulous 300 line screen duotones.
The bindery has ordered the cloth for the cloth edition and slipcases and traycases, which will be shipping from Japan. The skins for the leather edition, from England, have also been ordered.
Everything is running smoothly. Watch for more updates
in September.

I know a couple of you on this board have a copy of this coming, so remember - you have to describe in detail how great it is when you get it!

Salem¹s Lot update 2
Hello everyone,
This is the second Salem¹s Lot update. The bulk of the book
is finished printing at Finlay Printing of Connecticut. Next
will be folding and collating of the sheets before it is sent
to the binder, Campbell-Logan in Minneapolis. Stephen King
and Jerry Uelsmann have signed the signature sheets.
My rep at Finlay Printing called me to let me know that
everyone involved with this project at the shop is very
excited. Visitors to the press, some of them other
publishers with jobs on press, have all been inquiring
about getting a copy of Salem¹s Lot ... not because it
is a collector¹s item, but because it looks do damn
good!
I¹ll let you know in a few weeks how the bindery
is moving along. We¹re still shooting for October 31.
Hopefully, it will all work out.
Also, if anyone needs to correspond with me in between
now and pub date, could you please put limited edition
or Salem¹s Lot or Stephen King in the subject field
of the email? My spam filter still allows nearly 200
worthless messages a day, and generic subject fields
are likely to be deleted, along with all the investment
opportunities, Xanax ads, Viagra ads, and pornographic
messages.
Again, thank you all for your understanding and
encouragement.
Best Wishes,

It's only about a month and a half away!

Salem's Lot update 3
Hello everyone,
This is the third Salem's Lot update. The book is in the
hands of Campbell-Logan bindery of Minneapolis. They
are working on the book at a furious pace and they have
expressed concern about their ability to finish to the
book by Halloween. It may be that I will have a small
number of books done by Halloween with the remaining
bulk finished near the second week of November. Greg
Campbell writes: We are very concerned about meeting your
Halloween publication date. We are hard at work now cutting,
folding & collating the specials. This is a big book. It is
important to us to do a good job and this will take time.
Please remember that this is a huge book. The cloth
edition alone weighs ten pounds, the leather considerably
more. Everyone is working hard to complete the book
and I will give you more updates around October 20.
Although everyone may not be familiar with it, there
is also an unsigned edition of Salem¹s Lot available. This
edition is limited to 600 copies. The size of the book is
still 9 x 13, and includes all the text from the limited edition,
including the deleted scenes. Only one of the Jerry Uelsmann
photos will appear in this edition however.
This edition will ship in early December. The price is $95
+ $15 shipping. We are accepting ONLY checks and money
orders at this time, no credit cards or PayPal payments. If
you live overseas, please contact us before ordering so that
we can determine a shipping and payment method.
Colorado residents will need to add $3.99 for state
sales tax. Let me know if you are interested in
copies of this edition.
Again, thank you all for your understanding and
encouragement.

Ten pounds for the cloth edition! WOW!

Hello everyone,
This is the fifth Salem's Lot update.
The books are in my garage. I am packing them up and getting them ready for shipping, but there are over 300 books, and I am just one man, so it is going to take a few days (and I still have a straight job to work!). I will be packing them up and hopefully have all of them sent out by next Tuesday at the latest. They will be going USPS priority mail. I will drop off a load at the Post Office every day on my way to work so some will get there sooner than others.
The unsigned copies of the book are still scheduled for December.
Again, thank you all for your understanding and encouragement. Please note our new address.
Best Wishes,

It doesn't look like a reserve auction. Normally they say "reserve met." This one doesn't.
