In this fortieth anniversary year of our Smashed-Rat-on-Press the Head Rodent has promised to publish some specialty items.

One of those items is just around the corner. In fact, a proof copy has just been ordered and we're anxiously awaiting delivery!

The press will be releasing a special limited edition of twenty copies of Anna Conda of the KGB. (Click on the thumbnail to see the larger size and read the blurb.)

This is an "older" bawdy work from H. Cogito Epsilon that has never been published separately. It has now been digitally restored and newly illustrated with six lovely "erotic" drawings and brand new cover art by Lon Ryden. The book is thin and inexpensive because it contains just a short story of 6,000 words, so it may not be that exciting for most SROP devotees.

However, the edition is special. Each copy of this limited print run will be signed and numbered by both the author and the artist. Of the twenty copies, only ten will be sold through SROP; the other ten will be sold by the artist. The ten SROP copies will be available for a nominal flat rate covering the cost of printing plus postage within North America.

How can you get one? Customers will have to ask at the speak-easy and this edition will not be advertised for sale. The limited edition won't go into the catalog. (But after those have been sold off, a lesser edition may become available, we'll see.) If you want one, you'll have to contact The Rodent at SROP to get on the waiting list. We'll tell you the final cost as soon as we know ourselves, but it will probably be on the order of $5.00 or so.
