The Original Living Room should be going on sale within a week, perhaps as soon as a few days.

grodog wrote:We should have the details finalized very soon, but roughly the limited edition will be $150, and the standard edition will be $20. There will be some content and qualitative differences between the two editions. In order to avoid the concerns raised by fans about the timing of the announcements for the sponsorship for Tower of Blood, we'll announce all of the details about the BC limited edition one week ahead of when the first orders will be accepted. The standard edition orders will only be accepted after the limited edition has been shipped (so figure a 4-8 week delay from when first limited edition orders are being taken before the first standard edition orders will ship).

The differences will be in additional materials---the limited edition will include reproductions of the manuscript pages, in addition to the text transcription (which will also appear in the standard version), for example. The limited edition will be printed on nicer paper, and will also have some essays by Rob about the history of the BC that don't appear in the standard edition (but I will be writing an introduction about BC that will appear in both versions). Does that help clarify things? We should have all of these details up on the web site very soon.

MShipley88 wrote:I don't think the delay in taking orders for the standard edition is a good idea. The people who are likely to buy the deluxe version are not likely to be deterred by the existence of a lower-end product....and the delay in even accepting orders for the standard edition is sure to cut its sales.
