Was CD's Midnight mass proof read? I doubt it!! - SteveBlack - 03-27-2005
Amazing!
CD have had all that time to get it right and they manage TWO f*** ups on the very first page within the Author's Note.
1 - In the 3rd paragraph the number 11 mysteriously appears
2 - In the last paragraph we're treated to an amazing fact: FPW began writing in the year 19702 (then jumped in his TARDIS and came back to share his gifts among us
What a guy!!)S

This makes me so glad that I bought the trade edition back when it came out. The CD edition is a really nice oversized hardcover, but at least with the trade I don't ever have to open it. :p

Actually, Paul will have start written :confused: in the year 2525. Zager and Evans tell the whole sad story.

Hi there, just returned from London, and the shop 'Murder One' which is having a big moving sale - they're doing away with the Horror / Fantasy side of their books and selling them off cheaply to say the least - I picked up a copy of the Stephen King Biblio Horror Plumb'd down from £60.00 to £1.99 - BARGAIN !, but, I noticed they had a limited edition slipcased version of the CD Pubs 'Midnight Mass' for sale - £50.00 ; anyways, not having seen one before, briefly considered buying it, and pulling it out of the slipcase to have a look at it saw that it stated it was #44(something), can't recall the exact limitation out of 500 signed copies, BUT, having checked and rechecked it, could NOT find a signature in it at all of FPW's.........ANYWHERE.........Come on CD, you'd have thought you would have checked the books were all signed...................so, if there is anyone in London, or the London are who wants it, better get there quick and snap it up. Anyways, laters guys, just stopped holding my breath for SIMS 5 to be published anytime soon! All the best, Kevin

Ahhh! Zager and Evans. One hit wonders, but a really GOOD hit. Didn't we have a thread once about one hit wonders? My addled brain can't remember.

So true. Happiness is having a book you never have to open. :confused:
