I wish I had known about this thread earlier.  I WAAAAY overpaid for an ARC paid for expedited shipping.  I got it yesterday, took a half day at work and feel like crap this morning but I cant say it wasn't worth it.  My first reread starts in my lunch break today.

I am very interested.  In another thread a bunch of fans are speculating on creating an Bakkercon just because we want our books signed but if Bakker can sign off on this then this would be even better.

So if this isn't an official thing what are we talking about?  We would have to supply our own books for binding I assume.  Everyone would, again I'm assuming, have to have the same edition and print so they're the same size.  Could we reap the advantages of economies of scale if we bind different books in the series or does it have to be the same one?  Like say I want all six books bound and you wanted five, would that matter?

Personally, I'm a "Less is More" guy.  So if there's a design I would I'd prefer something simplistic and relevant.  I can't think of one for TDTCB but something like a circumfix for The Warrior Prophet which, come to think of it, would look like a basic Xmen symbol.  Or just have that script the runs down the NA release on the cover.  I'd honestly like a simple "The Darkness That Comes Before:  Second Apocalypse Book I" on the cover.  Maybe translate that into Nonman or some Earwa language for flavor.

TLDR:  TAKE MY MONEY

Where does Bakker live?  The Unholy Consult release was, last I heard, aiming for a year end 2016 date.  That would be a good time to set something like this.  End of the middle series and gives a little time to plan it out.  How do we contact him?

BakkerCon! 

Didn't know where to post this, figured here was as good as I was going to find. I read somewhere that Bakker has lost his editor with Overlook. Will this effect the publishing date for TGO? I imagine she couldn't handle the atrocities we find so delightful, or something like that, lol. Or, was she a feminist? Come on, I want theories, speculation and whatever answers you've got!
Not a problem.  I can edit all his future books.  Pro Bono even.  I'd even go above and beyond and peek into his notes for the final trilogy.

I would love a complete set of signed first editions.  I've jettisoned most of my book collection after switching to Kindle almost exclusively.  I've only kept Song of Ice and Fire books and naturally my Second Apocalypse books.  I don't even know what to do with the ASOIAF books since the first editions changed style midway and they now look weird together.  Plus I think the HBO series is becoming the definitive edition anyway.

Contrast to that my love for Second Apocalypse keeps growing.  I'm looking through all the art trying to see if there's a way to make a custom Khellus figure somehow at the moment.  Signed books would make a display like that complete.

Does Bakker still frequent the boards?  Maybe we can kickstarter this hall rental idea.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask.  I've checked for updates maybe twice a month usually the first thing I do on my commute to work.  This was when there was no news at all.  So basically everything has worked for me since I make it a point to scour the internet for such information.

This is probably why I the most relevant information for me these past few weeks was to realize that there were advance copies floating around the world after reading about the contest... Which naturally made me check Ebay... Which naturally...

On another note, I read Bakker won't do book signings.  Is there no way to get autographed copies any other way?
