From John Bentacourt - i'll break it down
The book is at his place

The printer did not follow instructions.

They did a dust jacket over cover-printed boards (printed the same
cover art and lettering printed on both). The original specs called
for just blue cloth on the boards.

They foil-stamped the dust jacket AND the spine of the book. They were
only going to stamp the blue boards.

Everything looks fabulous -- better even than the specs called for.

From John Bentacourt on Manna From Heaven
I spoke with the printer this morning. It's going to be finished
December 15th, then 3 days freight to Pennsylvania, then I start
shipping them out via Priority Mail. Allow 2-3 days -- you'll have it
by the 20th.

Well I visited Scott's webpage yet again.
He verified that Brust is doing the foreward (he's already got it).

Got an email after ordering from Phage Press and I asked Erick POC

There are two differences between the quotes in "Shadow Knight" and the published version of "Prince of Chaos."

At first I was very confused. I had people accusing me of 'making up the quotes' or 'getting it wrong' in the role-playing material.

So, of course, I compared all the quotes in "Shadow Knight" with the manuscript pages I was sent. A perfect match... Then I compared Zelazny's manuscript pages with the published version of "Prince of Chaos..."

And discovered that Zelazny had changed his own words. In the manuscript Merlis is told that Coral is pregnant, but Roger pulled that from the published book (this was around the same time he started to think about a third series, and I suspect he decided to save that little bit of discovery for a later book).

The 2nd change?

Ah, I'm keeping that one to myself. So far nobody else has figured it out...

If you go to Scott's Webpage he talks about putting together a new book. Hopefully, it'll come out soon.

FYI, I receive a newsletter from subterraneanpress.com and the following
Zelazny item was in it.

                    Click on over to Subterranean Press to check out the stunning wraparound
                    dust jacket for George R.R. Martin's GRRM, a 1288 page collection. That's
                    right, over 1200 pages. In fact, it's so large that at first our printer
                    said it couldn't be produced as a single volume! We navigated that
                    particular strait, and have posted not only the dust jacket but six of the
                    more than thirty full-page b&w interior illustrations.

                    In addition, though it hasn't been announced on the site yet, the limited
                    and lettered editions will include a chapbook of additional material:
                    science fiction and fantasy legend Roger Zelazny's story, "The Last Defender
                    of Camelot," along with GRRM's Twilight Zone script for the story.

it's 100 for the limited and 300 for the lettered

Some of My recent purchases

    Well I finally got a copy of Hymn to the Sun. I definitely overpaid for it, but I feel my collections is a bit more complete. Still need a couple of those
    rare books (like first editions of Nine Princes and Guns) but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
