Please accept our apologies, but The Best of Lucius Shepard has had to slip a number of months in our schedule, to August 2008. When he signed the contract for our book, Lucius forgot that PS Publishing had the rights to a number of stories intended for The Best of tied up past our initial publication date. Rather than shorten the book, or alter the table of contents to include other stories — the book had already been designed and proofed, we decided the best solution was to push our publication date back until mid-2008 and give everyone the book as we, and Lucius, intended.

Another title has undergone an unexpected change, this time in length, not publication date. We were in the process of sending our nifty little Tim Powers and James P. Blaylock (writing jointly as “William Ashbless”) book, Pilot Light, to the printer when we were informed it was a little too nifty, and too little. To bring it up to the 64 page length our printer requires, we’ve decided to include the interview originally intended for the limited editions in the regular edition of the book as well. We wanted to add more material to the limited to balance things back out, but Ashbless, being, well, Ashbless, this wasn’t possible. The limited edition will still be the only signed edition of this book.
