New from Chance Press, redux! Hines chapbook

[justine]

steve hines' new collection will be ready in about 2 weeks, but covers are now completed and we're just waiting for them to dry:

deluxe edition won't be ready for about a month, maybe.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

well, whoever this young unknown Steve Hines is, it's my bet that he's quite the scribbler. and handsome, no doubt!

yep.

Who designed the cover? It looks bloody amazing.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

it's my drawing. closeup here.

 

[jordan]

if, however, you were referring to the delicate interplay between the image and the text, the credit for that rests with the geniuses behind chance press.

 

[justine]

that is also a custom-formulated ink.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

the paper is very cool, also.

 

[jordan]

basically, we lined up the pins, but the drawing knocked them down.

 

[LickTheStar]

well, whoever this young unknown Steve Hines is, it's my bet that he's quite the scribbler. and handsome, no doubt!

yep.

And modest, most of all!

Congrats (to all involved, whomever they may be), that's a fine looking cover.

 

[Rekrab]

nice cover. knock it off or I'll end up buying copies of all your books.

 

[marina del rey]

I've been looking forward to this Steve Hines book for a while. Great looking cover, too.

 

[bospress.net]

yes, sign me up for a copy...

[Bukfan]

Nice cover! I want a copy too...

we have to finish assembling them so that justine will work her sewing magic, and then we'll announce them for sale. deluxe editions will take another month (or quite possibly two, since they will be complicated and time-intensive), so people who are on our deluxe list will be getting two shipments (or one shipment, but a while from now).

 

[justine]

steve hines' poetry collection (regular edition) is available from today:

-$9 (shipping included) and available for immediate shipment

-$14 (shipping included) for both a chapbook and a signed/numbered/limited ed. gocco print on vellum. prints are en-route to canada for signing, will be available to ship in a couple of weeks

deluxe editions won't be ready for another month or so. an email will go out to our deluxe wait-list first, if any are available after that our general email list will receive notification and then i'll post here.

god damn, it looks great.

 

[hank solo]

Yum. Mailed ya.

 

[roni]

14$ - wow! those prices are more than just fair!
why can't I live in the States?

 

[strangegirl]

Looks Great. Can't wait to get mine... but I will and I know it will be worth the wait.

 

[jordan]

just a note to clear up some confusion:

the trade edition + print (for $14) is not a separate edition. it's like a "combo pack" consisting of the standard trade edition (limited to 50 copies) and a print that will be signed and numbered, limited to 30.

the deluxe edition will be much different, and much fancier, which is why it won't be available for another 4-6 weeks.

 

[Bukfan]

I sent you guys an email! - Btw, how much will the Deluxe edition be?

 

[bospress.net]

Hi,
Cool! I just ordered me up one!

Best,
Bill

 

[openeye]

sending $14 this evening, thanks! ;)

 

[justine]

as we have discovered in the past, there is a huge, HUGE difference between how hard ideas seem in theory and how hard they'll actually be in practice. so, bearing that in mind, we are estimating that the price for this deluxe chap will be around $30-35. hopefully i'll get the first mockup done this weekend.

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks, Justine! I already ordered the trade edition with the Gocco print, but I think the Deluxe edition sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

[justine]

the mock-up for steve's book was finally completed this weekend; the real deal is in production as of this week. i'm waiting for confirmation from about 3 people, but at this stage the deluxe edition is sold out:

this is just a mock-up, to put the ideas into practice, so it looks a bit rough and unpolished, and all the lines are crooked.

 

[slimedog]

On another thread I read that you're putting out a collection of slimedog's posts on the buk forum? Is this true? How is this even possible if he's still writing them. Did he pass away? Won't this somehow break the obscenity laws, at least in New Zealand anyways? Why do the birds keep on singing?

On another thread I read that you're putting out a collection of slimedog's posts on the buk forum? Is this true? ...

I've been wondering too.

"The Complete Slimedog Posts" - Vol. 1...:D

the mock-up for steve's book was finally completed this weekend;

It looks great, and the design is one of a kind. Very original for a poetry book, and the metal corners is a nice touch!

The only word I can come up with for this is visionary.
