CD production update for Usher’s Passing

Cemetery Dance has updated their production page to include this information about their limited edition of Usher’s Passing:

The printer is on schedule with a delivery date of very late December for the books. Reminder: this Limited Edition will still need slipcases made, which can take up to 14 weeks. Our slipcase maker is already working on an “approval case” based on estimated sizing generated by the printer. As soon as we have the first finished book, we can use that approval case to confirm the sizing. If the sizing is correct, the slipcase maker can then start rolling right away. We will post the publication date the moment it is finalized, but spring 2021 is looking very likely. Thank you for your patience!

The limited edition was announced in 2018 and has been long sold out, though I’m sure copies will be available on the secondary market once it has been published.

If you haven’t seen them, Cemetery Dance has posted the interior art pieces by Vincent Sammy on their Usher’s Passing page:

Cemetery Dance has posted a production update for their limited edition of Usher’s Passing:

Usher’s Passing by Robert McCammon:

Robert McCammon has signed the signature sheets, the interior artwork is now completed, and this title just needs two more proofreads to be ready. (The file we started with had some problems due to the age of the book, so we’re being extra careful with our proofreading!)

Cemetery Dance has posted this production update for their upcoming signed, limited editions of Usher’s Passing:

This huge special edition (500+ pages) is on the schedule for next year, and production is moving along as planned at this time.

Robert McCammon has signed the signature sheets and the interior text is being proofread now to catch any errors that slipped in during scanning and design.

In addition, we’re pleased to announce we’ve hired acclaimed artist Vincent Sammy to provide 10 to 12 interior illustrations for the book! His first four finished pieces have been added to the product page as a sample of his work for those who are unfamiliar with his style:

Both editions are long sold-out, but I’m sure copies will show up on eBay after the book is published….
