It will be new-and-improved, but this does not make existing Exquisite Corpses books obsolete… it will have new art (color monsters!), a better binding from a professional printer in Finland (as opposed to Lulu) and new content still under discussion/creation. We are also discussing ways to incorporate the previous edition’s content into the new edition.
Subject to change and the whims of fate, the new edition will feature:
- Color monster art for the ‘flip pages’
- New cover art
- Some new ‘base’ monsters for the flip pages (some will remain the same, some will change)
- More ‘base’ monsters (going from 26 ‘base’ creatures to 32!)
- Elimination of the handful of errors in the previous edition (while probably introducing a whole lot more new errors)
- Better printing and professional binding!
- New and improved higher price!
- New interior art (hopefully — if everything else gets worked out and subject to time)
I don’t know if James has announced yet when the book will be available… so stay tuned.
