Limited edition of The Martian Chronicles offers expensive lesson in pre-ordering books

Bill Schafer of Subterranean Press and Pete Crowther of PS Publishing have announced the latest news on the long-delayed limited edition of Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles (1950) that was supposed to have been published by Hill House. The good news is that Subterranean and PS have acquired the rights to co-publish the book and will be offering a substantial discount on the numbered version for a short period of time. The bad news is that fans who pre-ordered the book through Hill House have lost money, in some cases as much as several hundred dollars. Read the announcement for more details.

Cheers to Bill Schafer of Subterranean Press and Pete Crowther of PS Publishing for helping to resolve a complicated matter.
