Hello Centipede books collectors. I have a question about how do you buy limited signed editions from Centipede site. They list unsigned editions prices but no price for a sign edition. So, please let me know. Thanks in Advance.

And, signed and unsigned editions, are they basically the same format or signed editions have more features

If it doesn’t list the price of the signed copies of a particular book, it’s because it is sold out and only unsigned copies remain.

Signed and unsigned editions are the same. The signature is the only differentiator.

You have to not only be on the mailing list, but you also have to pay attention to the weekly (Sunday) newsletter, and when something limited/signed/premium is announced for sale, you have to jump on it right then. Sometimes stuff sells out in minutes-to-an-hour, other times it takes weeks. The stuff you really want is likely the hot seller items.

Edit: Fixed a typo

>4 fancythings: Nice!
Also, sometimes it can be helpful (depending on the release) to let Jerad know (when he asks) what number you have when the next item in a series is coming out. That can buy you a little time, since you're essentially promising to purchase at that point.

Unfortunately Centipede Press is a bit like Suntup Press now, in that any book instantly sells out (apart from unsigned copies). Also, CP does have a rights system of sorts, which I would argue does make sense. For instance, if CP is going to publish a 5-book series, and you purchase the first book, you automatically have rights to the next book. That does make sense, but at the end of the day as was already mentioned you typically have to jump as soon as possible because so many people flip CP publications on the second-hand market.

CP is oft idiosyncratic (which I love) eg I have all of Masters of SF but each has a different number and I compete each time to get the next release. Pre covid, there was time to buy stuff, now not so much. If you want it, buy it asap :-)
