Sadly I was right all along.........
A long time ago went on a rant and tore MR. Lee's old publisher a new one. Told them they were stupid and out of touch of what consumer's wanted. Just like record companies, they simply ignored the masses and paid for there mistake. I told the old publisher they needed to get his stuff out there on ebook, get that money flowing.
Sad the publisher went under, Very sad people lost there job's. IMHO, its there own fault. Looks like time has proven me right. There choices were wrong, and a costly mistake.
Gotta give the new publisher all the credit in the world. He realizes and understands what the masses want. He is working hard to fill that void. Finally getting the old stuff out on ebook format.
I will have to wait and see how Header 3 is handled by the publisher. I was so frustrated with the witch water release, I stopped reading Lee's stuff. The whole limited edition hard back, and the ebook MAY be done in 6 months, was just wrong and screwing the fans who could not afford the Limited edition hard back, out of reading that story.
So I will wait and see with header 3. If its another limited edition release, with no ebook or paper back offering, Im done. I won't support the back catalog release. Nor will i ever recommend it to other readers.
If on the other hand, header 3 offers a more affordable option at release, and the ebook format is released in a timely manner, then yea, I will break out the credit card, buy all of his back catalog, recommend his stuff to other readers. Can I afford the limited edition? Sure. So now all I can do is sit back and see how this all plays out. Let the flames begin. LMAO........
1) Dorchester was already in bankruptcy protection when you went on your first ill advised rant, so your ability to predict the future isn't all that impressive.
2) You clearly don't understand how any industry, much less the publishing industry works.
3) For as much as you claim to read you'd think you would know the difference between their and there.
So Tym, how was your free book? Seriously, you get offered a free freakin' book, and then you turn around and blackmail the upcoming publisher of Ed's upcoming novel? Really?

Dude, I'm on of Lee's current publishers. I was also one of the people arguing against you the last couple times. I'm pro downloading and DEADITE PRESS is doing just fine and we aren't going anywhere. However, you take take you're self-righteous trolling someplace else.

tym,
Your arguments make ZERO sense, as do you. You know ZERO of which you're speaking...and taking cheap shots at Lee and saying you'll not buy any of his stuff is just pathetic.
You know, you could always donate any books that you have to the local library...just sayin'...
TYM why are you singling out Ed Lee? Brian Keene, Jack Ketchum, J.F Gonzalez and too many others to mention all sell limited hard cover versions of their books before they are released as trade paperback and ebook. Is it because if you tried this on Brian Keene's website he would tell you where you can stick your free book?
Ed Lee is one of the nicest guys in the business, despite the hardcore nature of his books. It's a shame trolls pick up on this and try using it as leverage to get freebies. BTW TYM I bought the hard cover version of Witch Water and it was worth every penny!!!
Ed's books are wonderfull. true, most of his new books are expensive (and his old ones 2), but because you're a fan you want it. i save money for his new books. rather have a fine hc with signature than a mass edition, with less soul in it. Ed is not responsible for how his books are published, that's in my opinion the publisher. to me Ed is the Nr 1 hardcore writer (and one of the kindest), second comes Wrath James White and 3rd Richard Laymon (it's a tragedy he died).
we should be supportive to Ed, he is going through a difficult time right now and still finds time to talk with his fans. that's very admirable, and show's us how compasionate Ed is. he doesn't write for money alone, he writes because we, the fans love his work and want to be entertained.
think it's very strange to say you're a fan, but you stop reading his books, because they are coming in hardcover. I think that you can't qualify yourself as a fan. You should stand up for your favorite author and not critizize him for this. samething with some footbalfans in the netherlands. if AJAX (my club) plays well they are fan, if it goes bad, they aint. Than you are no fan at all.
Ed writes the books, HE DOESN'T PUBLISCH THEM, so why punisch Ed for this. it's not his fault !
I am very glad i started reading Ed, gives me lot's of pleasure (no pun intended) and makes me forget my sometimes boring job. Discovered this forum and think it's "te gek"(super cool).

Tym,
IMHO (which i hate almost as much as LOL) people on here couldn't really give a monkey's toss about your HO!
In all your posts you talk utter shite and end up arguing with your own points most of the time, obviously people have an opinion and mine is that your's sucks!
People come on here to talk about/with Edward Lee about his work and all sorts of other topics, you use it as a personal soap box to moan about Edward Lee's books and prices, as i have said in older posts no one is holding a gun to your head.
