"The Big Meow" news: hardcover-edition subscriptions now available -- hardcover upgrades, too

[dianeduane]

Some of the people who've subscribed to The Big Meow (that's the final book in the "Feline Wizardry" sequence, in case this is the first you've heard about the project) have been asking about the possibility of hardcover editions being made available when we go to press in early '07. I've done the costings, and the price isn't too horrible, so I've put up buttons on the main "Big Meow" page so that people can purchase hardcovers if they prefer them to the paperback edition presently being made available.

A first-time subscription to the hardcover edition of the novel, without a dustcover, will cost USD $32.50: with a dustcover, you pay $33.50. If you click here, the link will take you right to the subscription buttons.

Also, if you already have a subscription but would like to upgrade, there are buttons here for you to do that too.  A plain hardcover will cost you USD  $10.00 extra: one with a dustcover will cost you USD $11.00.

The cover artwork will be by Ursula Vernon. I hope to have some sketches sometime late in September.

And you shall! Let me finish off this proposal and I should actually be freed up this week...

No sweat. I know you're busy.

Hey, this is funny, I was just this moment commenting on your kidney.

The cover art will just be on the hardcover? Because if so, I'm soooo upgrading :)

(heh)Maybe we should do it that way. No, no, don't tempt me.

...However, with the hc-and-dustcover route, it occurs to me that we might be able to wraparound art. That would be fun. I'll have to check into it.

Great! Thanks! :)

The mailing list sent me a blank email about this earlier. (I know it was about the hardcovers because of the subject line.) More mailing list troubles?

I got the same thing.

(sigh) No, I just hit the carriage return at the wrong moment. That program has a lot of weaknesses, unfortunately, and one of them is that you can't abort a "send" run once it's started. ...Very annoying, as the Xtreeme people's stuff is usually smarter than that.

Can it be stopped by the low-tech expedient of disconnecting the network plug?

Hmmmm, let me see...Feline Wizards and Ursula Vernon? I'm saving my pennies now. Having just bought a domicile and moved, I'm somewhat flat broke at the moment, but rest assured, I'll find a way to order it eventually. I've been waiting for this since To Visit the Queen. :)

Same here!

I'm not sure what my current subscription is for, but I think I would like a hardcover with the dustcover.

If you've got a subscription that you bought before today, then yours is for a paperback. All you need to do is hit the upgrade button for whichever version of the hardcover you prefer. We'll update your old subscription to note that you've upgraded.

By ursulav? That's wonderful news!

Yeah, I read that sentence and I think I just let out a shriek and died. I am typing now from the grave.
