Post subject: | MANDIBLES: Deluxe Edition (Seeking YOUR Input!) |
Okay, kiddies, here's the deal: Mundania Press is giving serious consideration to publishing a hardcover collector's edition of my novel MANDIBLES. I'm not convinced that the world NEEDS a collector's edition of a giant killer ant book, nor am I convinced that anybody will buy a limited edition of a novel that's already available in hardcover and trade paperback. That said...here's the hypothetical (and I mean HYPOTHETICAL) scenario: 1. After a "Last Chance!" announcement, the current editions of MANDIBLES will go out of print. 2. A couple/few months later, MANDIBLES will return as a hardcover collector's edition, limited to a scant 100 copies. Forty bucks. Brand new, vastly improved cover art (a painting). Completely redone interior design. Black-and-white interior illustrations. Bonus content, probably consisting of several new chapters added to the end. 3. Shortly after that, the improved production values and bonus content (that is, the written bonus content...some artwork may remain exclusive to the hardcover) will carry over to a new edition of the trade paperback. The bonus content will then be made available as a free PDF to people who've already read MANDIBLES and don't wanna buy another copy just to get the extra chapters. Soooooooooo...collectors/completists, would you have any interest in a limited edition hardcover of MANDIBLES? Any and all feedback is welcome, but I'm much more interested in hearing from people who WOULD consider buying one, since the pretty-darn-safe assumption is that most people aren't looking to buy an expensive edition of a book that's already available in a much cheaper format. Reply here, or e-mail me at JeffStrand@aol.com. Thanks! |

I'd buy one...hell I'd buy a few. But only if it's signed. I've read Mandibles, and loved it and would love a reason to read it again, I'm cursed with a very good memory, so reading books a second time around rarely happens for me cause I know pretty much word for word what's going down...throw in some new content and I'm like a goldfish...it's great. I'm all for a limited market if there's something cool in it. But a signiature is a must for me. I'd probably want a copy even if it didn't have any new stuff, just a signiature sheet with your fair scrawl on it ![]() Not wanting to jump the gun...but now you've got me hoping this is a run up to Mandibles 2 ???? ![]() |
