A couple of recent items over at Jeff VanderMeer’s site caught my eye. They involve two projects we’ve talked about at BSC previously (and will do so again in the future). We mentioned Last Drink Bird Head last month, the return of the Ministry of Whimsy featuring over 70 top writers with benefits going to ProLiteracy. Way back in May we also briefly touched on VanderMeer’s Finch in an edition of Tomio’s Want List. Jeff has now posted a couple of new looks at both projects, and at BSC we like stacks of books (we only deal in bulk at the Empire).
That’s the dustjacket for Underland’s limited edition version of Finch (you can read an excerpt here). Jeff said this:
I have to sign 350 of them and write sentences on 150 of them.
If I’m reading this right, there will be two limited versions of Finch. One is called “The Rebel Samizdat Edition” (350 hardcover copies, signed, numbered, $50) and the other is “Finch: The Heretic Edition” (150 copies, signed, numbered, $110). Both are available for pre-order now–and if you do so, you save yourself $5. Both are at Underland’s site.
Last Drink Bird Head is launching at the World Fantasy Con in San Jose later this month and is available at Wyrm Publishing. It’s edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer.
