Bonus prints with Secret Histories, all-new-writers volume of Postscripts, and more gift box upgrades
Posted by Peter Crowther on May 1st, 2009 at 14:00
Hi, folks;
We’re still recovering from the delightful shock of Ian R MacLeod‘s Song of Time winning the Clarke Award, but a new month means new releases and offers from PS Publishing, so let’s get to the good stuff!
Free Dirk Berger prints free with special editions of Secret Histories
We had a great time at EasterCon. John Berlyne’s Tim Powers bibliography Secret Histories went down well, so it’s worth your knowing that there are now officially only a handful of copies left of the 26-copy three-book lettered extravaganza.
It’s also worth your knowing that everyone who orders either of the slipcased states will receive an extra goodie – purchasers of the three-book set will receive two of Dirk Berger’s remarkable limited-edition artwork prints (signed by Dirk plus Tim and John) while folks who shell out for the two-book state will receive one print.
(The prints will be sent under separate cover in a special artwork tube. And before anyone asks, yes… everyone who has already ordered copies of the slipcased states will also receive the posters.)
This offer is good only while stocks last so it’s strictly first come, first served – click through now to secure your copies before they all disappear!
- Secret Histories – ultra-limited deluxe three-volume edition – £495 [US$742.50 approx]
- Secret Histories – slipcased two-volume edition – £195 [US$292.50 approx]
- Secret Histories – limited single-volume edition – £40 [US$60.00 approx]
Postscripts #18 – special all-new-writers volume
After a few days of anxiety when we thought that one of the signing sheets for Postscripts had gone AWOL, we’re all-systems-go again and the book is expected before the end of May.
From here on in, each issue (or rather ‘volume’) will be titled around one of the stories. The first new-look volume – a bumper new writers special – is This is the Summer of Love, taking the title of Rio Youers’s masterful novelette that closes the book. But make no mistake, Rio’s tale is just one of ten wonderful stories… so don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Click through below to order a stand-alone copy, or take out a subscription for big savings on masses of fresh new fiction:
- Postscripts #18 New Writers Special (hardcover) – £12 [US$18 approx]

Gift box upgrades – Mystery Hill and The Babylonian Trilogy
The anniversary gift boxes continue to sell well, so we’ve upgraded them again to include two of our newest titles.
For the month of May, the line-up will see one of the random ten books in the novels boxes (trade and deluxe) being exchanged for a copy of Sebastien Doubinsky’s The Babylonian Trilogy.
- Ten trade novels, including The Babylonian Trilogy – £100 [US$150 approx.]
- Ten slipcased novels, including The Babylonian Trilogy – £200 [US$300 approx.]
Furthermore, we’ll exchange one of the random ten books in the novellas boxes (trade and jacketed) for the appropriate edition of Alex Irvine’s Mystery Hill!
- Ten trade novellas, including Mystery Hill – £40 [US$60 approx.]
- Ten jacketed novellas, including Mystery Hill- £100 [US$150 approx.]
But don’t forget, these offers are good only until the end of May.
Newsletter giveaway winners for April
Last month’s winning newsletter readers Martin Goodwin (of Camulodunum Books) and Kerry Johnson from Kentucky, USA managed to land themselves a free trade edition of Secret Histories, just for being signed up to receive PS Publishing updates like this one – aren’t you glad you’re signed up too?
So please tell your friends about us; this month, a lucky winner will receive a slipcased edition of Sebastien Doubinsky‘s Babylonian Trilogy. Maybe it’ll be you!
And that’s about all for this month, except to point out that Mystery Hill, The Babylonian Trilogy and Camp Desolation and an Eschatology of Salt are all freshly in stock and ready to ship from the PS warehouse. If you’re hungry for more, you can pop over to the newsroom to find out what new stories we’ve bought lately, and why yours truly had to grovel on his knees before Paul McAuley at Eastercon…
Look after each other… and happy reading!
