Thanks! Looks beautiful! When will this edition with the slipcase for both be available?

>2 RRCBS: Hopefully at the same time, although we are still working on it

It looks beautiful. I was among the lucky ones who got a numbered edition during the short phase when some were available, and originally only wanted to add just a copy of the Arthur Conan Doyle. But I'm now tempted to add a set of these two to it. I like the idea of the two in a slipcase together. Of course the lettered edition has them all in a solander box, which is also beautiful, but quite expensive. Will you also introduce that one here? And what is the price of it?

>4 SF-72: Thanks, you were so helpful in pre-ordering the numbered edition, sight unseen, Phil and I would not have been able to get all the materials that we needed without your help. I'm going to put out all the clips and images of the artist/lettered edition in the next few days, and I will put them all together to show everyone here then, and the price, thanks again, can't tell you how helpful you were.

This looks wonderful. I have signed up for your newsletter. Keep us updated. I can't wait to order.

If you are still on the edge about The Case of Death and Honey you should make up your mind soon. There are only 13 copies of the fine edition left.

>8 supercell:

Looks like they overestimated how many people would want both editions together. That's a shame, I really liked what they did there and got both.

>10 supercell:

"I purchased the Creeping Man as a companion volume for my numbered Death and Honey, and was very happy with it."

Same here. They make for a gorgeous set.
