Gwendy’s Button Box — Did You Miss Out On A 1st Printing? Here’s Where You Might Find One!

As you know, we are COMPLETELY SOLD OUT of the 1st Printing, 1st Edition of Gwendy’s Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar, but we checked around this weekend and it appears that Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million still have SOME copies left in-stock! (That said, retailers are telling us their stock levels are very low and they desperately need the 2nd printing, which shipped to them on Friday.) You may also want to try your local indie bookseller!

This 1st Printing, 1st Edition is one of the lowest in many decades for a Stephen King trade hardcover distributed to bookstores, so if you’re a collector, these bookstores might represent your last chance to snag a brand new copy for your collection!

Our 2nd Printing will begin shipping this week, and you can reserve your copy SIGNED by Richard Chizmar through our website. The 3rd printing is underway and will be completed in approximately four weeks.

If you’re a fan of eBooks, we also have some very important news for you! We will be handing off the eBook rights for Gwendy’s Button Box to another publisher later this summer, and at that point they will be setting the retail price based on their own process. We don’t know what that means for future eBook buyers, but we do know that many people are calling our $6.99 eBook a good deal, so whether you want to read the eBook now OR have it handy for down the road, you may want to order NOW to take advantage of this price!

You can order the eBook via these links:
Amazon * Barnes & Noble * Kobo * iTunes

And please don’t forget, the audiobook is narrated by Maggie Siff and features an exclusive interview with the authors and a bonus Stephen King short story:
Amazon * Audible on Amazon * Audible.com * Barnes & Noble * iTunes

Hap and Leonard: Savage Season Joe R. Lansdale Signed Limited Edition Hardcover!

We’re very pleased to report we will be receiving copies of the signed Limited Edition hardcover of Hap and Leonard: Savage Season from SST Publications in the UK! Only 270 copies will be produced, so we’re expecting this to be a hot collectible among Joe R. Lansdale fans!

THE FIRST HAP AND LEONARD GRAPHIC NOVEL!

A rip-roaring, high-octane, Texas-sized thriller, featuring two friends, one vixen, a crew of washed-up radicals, loads of money, and bloody mayhem.

Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are best friends, yet they couldn’t be more different. Hap is an east Texas white-boy with a weakness for Texas women. Leonard is a gay, black Vietnam vet. Together, they steer up more commotion than a fire storm. But that’s just the way they like it. So when an ex-flame of Hap’s returns promising a huge score. Hap lets Leonard in on the scam, and that’s when things get interesting. Chockfull of action and laughs, Savage Season is the masterpiece of dark suspense that introduced Hap and Leonard to the thriller scene. It hasn’t been the same since.

Here are the details of this limited hardcover edition:
– Signed by Joe R. Lansdale & Jussi Piironen on a specially designed signature page
– Limited to only 270 copies worldwide
– Each copy is numbered by hand
– Premium quality archival ink
– Printed on acid-free paper

Hap and Leonard is now a SundanceTV original series.
