ODD HOURS by Dean Koontz.
The book came out beautifully. The chapter numbers are printed as a red digital read-out within a drawing of a nuclear trigger and the page numbers are also printed as red digital digits counting down backwards from the first page––Page 213––to the last page––Page 1. Here are some pictures of the lettered copies from the bindery.

Charnel House is a proud sponsor of The Newstead Abbey West Front Appeal – Adopt A Stone Program.
Newstead Abbey is Lord Byron's ancestral home. The West Front, which is the image most recognized, is in need of restoration. The Adopt A Stone program allows you to name and dedicate the stones of the 13th century West Front, the only surviving part of Newstead's former priory church, to raise funds as part of an ongoing program that will help rescue exquisite carvings from the ravages of time and restore the West Front.
The life and work of Lord Byron is a passion that this publisher is indebted to. Therefor, a portion of the profit from A Time To Cast Away Stones by Tim Powers will be donated to the West Front Appeal. You can Adopt A Stone by going to adopt-a-stone. Tell them Charnel House sent you.

I would like to, once again, thank the many customers who enjoy collecting Charnel House Limited Editions. Thank you for your support and for having patience when titles go off schedule. Your understanding of the process is much appreciated but I know the reason that I haven't been lynched yet is that you want the books. I'll make sure there is always one in production.
