It’s now available to the general public, but not for long. As of this posting, only 8 copies of the limited edition and 5 copies of the lettered edition are available.
After listening to customers and other advisers I have decided to include a dust jacket with mylar protector for all Delirium 2010 limited editions, including this one. The binding material will remain of the upgraded nature, the color will be uniform for all 2010 titles, differing from the 2009 binding material color. Lastly, there will be a slipcase for sale to house all 4 titles at year’s end, for those of you who’d like to match these as sets. No price increase. 
Hardcover subscribers remain largely split between those that prefer DJs and those who do not. So I hope this presents the best alternative for all parties involved, as it’s a complete package on both sides. I know I was one who fell on the side that didn’t care for DJs, but my plans are to take off the DJs and house the books in the slipcase at year’s end, as intended. The slipcase will be customized to fit the books with or without DJs…totally your choice.

Harry Fremont hasn’t slept in days. He’s down with a terrible flu: runny nose, fever, a sore throat, the chills, and worst of all, a horrible cough that keeps him up all night. His wife Kelly is away on a business trip and their son Garret is at college, leaving Harry alone in the house. Though worn out, Harry has been unable to sleep…and things are starting to change. He’s seeing unusual things outside, just beyond the windows and confines of his home…hearing things…experiencing unsettling things that make no sense. And they’re getting worse.
Are they simply figments of a tortured and exhausted mind, or clues to an intricate mystery steeped in evil and deception Harry cannot yet comprehend? Haunted by remnants of earlier nightmares, disturbing questions about his life and marriage, strange shadowy figures, odd noises, cryptic writings on his doors and glimpses of a hideously disfigured being wrapped in bloody bandages, Harry free-falls into a horrifying world of paranoia, agony and terror where nothing is what it seems.
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us…long after dark.
Sleep while you still can.

Shane I think you came up with the best alternative for the Dust Jacket issue. Even though I felt that the 2009 Delirium books were the best looking books you’ve ever put out, and I prefer them without the jackets, I knew that many like the Dust Jackets. So I thought it was cool that you offered your customers to vote on the issue. I’m also glad you are staying with the upgraded binding, different color per year, and slipcases. So I can choose to use or not use the Dust Jackets on my shelf.
I’m a subscriber as long as you keep putting out great books like this one!
I echo 100% of what you just said Geoff (except that I do prefer the dustjackets). Shane is the best regarding listening to his readers, and trying to come up with a fair solution. This decision should make everyone thrilled.
Shane is da man!!
Spot on with this choice Shane, well done buddy!
