Blockade Billy Is Officially Published!

This is good news from Cemetery Dance. Bottomline, pretty soon you can start checking your mailbox -- if you ordered the book! Honestly, any King collector who isn't interested in getting in on a first printing of a limited edition book is as crazy as the Trashcan Man!

Blockade Billy by Stephen King is Officially Published!
.
Today is the official release date for Blockade Billy and we're making great progress on getting all of the preorders shipped as fast as possible. Stop by the Blockade Billy shipping page for more information or to join the conversation.
.
We also wanted to say "thank you" to all of our long-time customers and to everyone who has just discovered Cemetery Dance in the last three weeks. Obviously the surprise publication of Stephen King's new novella has been exciting for everyone involved, and we hope those of you who are new to our company will stick around. We have a lot of great projects coming out this year, including several others involving King and his work.

As USA TODAY noted in their terrific review of the book this morning, the Cemetery Dance 1st Edition/1st Printing of Blockade Billy is SUPER LIMITED compared to the 500,000 copies Scribner is printing of their edition, which is due out at the end of May. For anyone who was worried that this other edition might be collectible, we suspect that number says it all. In fact, we think their huge print run will actually make our tiny 10,000 copy 1st printing even more collectible in the years to come. If you want a copy of our limited first printing, you can still place an order today while supplies last!
.
Also, to help meet all of the demand from his readers, Stephen King has arranged for several electronic editions to go on sale today. You can read more about them at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
.
And finally, we're hearing from our friends in Europe that the Icelandic volcano may be affecting mail delivery due to the issues at the airports, etc. We're watching the situation and will respond accordingly if the Post Office issues any guidelines for shipping overseas. We want to make sure all of our customers receive their copies as soon as possible.
