I was flipping through some older books, reading the afterwords and this one made me chuckle. Oh, how things have changed...

Quote

 

At that time, Graham McNeill had just handed in the first draft of The Outcast Dead, Gav Thorpe had almost finished writing Deliverance Lost, and Nick Kyme was about to kick off the limited edition novella range with Promethean Sun later that year. ‘I was there,’ I would tell people afterwards, even when afterwards became a time when such things were regularly celebrated, ‘I was there, the day that Nick’s book broke the website…’

Christian served jointly as Nick’s editor along with Lindsey Priestley, as well as commissioning stories for the new audio dramas and limited edition novellas. When Promethean Sun completely sold out in record time (three thousand copies in twenty-four hours, no less!) it was clear what the fans wanted – great books featuring their favourite primarch characters, breaking out of the main Horus Heresy storyline but also inextricably linked to it.

I remember how it crashed the website.... It was so silly. You actually had to order via BL's own site, can you believe it?!

I remember trying to order my first BL book when I got back into the hobby, the Dark Imperium LE 

 

It was midday during the week, they still had one available, the BL website still crashed on me. Then defaulted to a different language.

I remember the times, when there had been days or even weeks, when a Limited Edition was on offer on the Black Library site, such as Ferrus Manus primarch book.
The first LE that I bought was Solar War, which was online for about an hour.

Solar War was a disaster launch, it killed the BL website and forced the change to selling books on gw website only.
