I know people who like books tend to be picky over them so I just want to caution again that Midworld Press is still a relatively new fine press that has only published 9 books so far with The Black Company being their 10th. However, this will be their first book with popularity and could be somewhat in-demand, so it could potentially sell out within the week or take months/never sell out. Personally I don’t think it will sell out as they have yet to sell out of anything they’ve ever published and a 500 copy run of any book in the fine press community is considered significantly large (most limit to 200-250). Printers are massively backed up world wide so don’t be surprised if it takes up to a year for the book to arrive, either. The owner of Midworld Press seems to be a decent guy though and replies to emails/facebook/his facebook group and does care about quality. This will be for the first book in the series and I currently don’t know if he will be doing the others or not yet.
A want a fine press hardcover copy for my bookshelf so I’ll be picking one up, but I still wish someone like Sub Press published it instead.
