Shocklines can accept pre-orders whenever they want, queue them up, and order from Gauntlet after January. Either way, Gauntlet gets your order - just not at the same price for them.

Ahhh, well, even if that ain't the case, it makes sense. Okay: I'll wait. Thanks!

I hope it's ok - I ordered mine last night. Is Gauntlet doing inscribed copies? That was the main reason I went ahead and ordered from Shocklines. Because I wanted the inscription.

I think Gauntlet ones are signed - but not with a personal inscription - just a signature
What is the difference between the lettered and numbered - is the lettered leather bound?

Correct. I inscribe the Shocklines copies for those who want me to do so.[/SIZE]

John Keel used to give me a laff by inscribing his books, "To My Best Friend." If he knew you, that would be different. He inscribed my 1st edition THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, "For Mike Lindner Even though the concepts discussed in this book are far beyond his miniscule mentality But perhaps he'll enjoy the pictures" And I said, "But John--there are no pictures in the book." And he replied, "You really have wasted your money, Lindner."

No no no....
ALL of our copies are autographed. The books are signed even before they come from the printer. The author autographs the numbered signature pages, and then the printer "tips them" into the book when they're produced.
The ONLY difference between our copies and the copies Gauntlet offers, is that if you want, we can have your book ADDITIONALLY personally inscribed to you from the author (so it will be signed on the signature page PLUS it will have a separate personal inscription).
But our books ARE the same signed numbered limited editions that Gauntlet and everyone else has. In fact, Gauntlet's contract with Tor almost certainly prevents unsigned hardcovers from being sold at all, since that would cut into Tor's sales for its trade hardcover down the line.
