'The Secret History of Twin Peaks' novel by M. Frost 10/18

[Mordeen]

Anyone know if the signing/whatever event with Frost in LA is sold out? I assume so.

It's not a ticketed event.

I have been in regular contact with the events coordinator at The Last Bookstore regarding the Los Angeles signing and would be happy to share all the details with anyone interested. Shoot me a PM.

Hello, it's my first post, but I've been reading for a long time. Though I live very far from Snoqualmie, I live in a small town not dissimilar from Twin Peaks. There are vast, dark forests, a silent mine, a glowing, mysterious, radio tower, wide lakes, and even the ghost of a murder victim whose case, investigated by the FBI, remains unsolved. My home is populated by beautiful, strange people, and for these reasons Twin Peaks is very important to me. It feels oddly familiar.

Anyway, with my introduction out of the way, I was curious; in my copy of the Access Guide there are numerous references to an Unguin's Field Observatory, making it very clear that it's initials read U.F.O. The book ends with a very redacted statement, concerning the Observatory, addressed to Major Briggs, with only the phrase, "nobody knows the trouble we've caused" to be visible. I had wondered, when the trailer for The Secret History came out, and there were numerous references to U.F.O.'s in it, if there was any relation? Is the importance of the Observatory, (it covers more ground than the town on the Access Guide's map) going to be expanded upon in Mark Frost's novel? How far is the Access Guide to be considered canon?

It would be great to hear others' opinions, this forum is going to help the wait.

Looks like we can add Liverpool and London to the UK along with Bath. C'mon Mark, Glasgow please. I'd even take Edinburgh! Frost's a golf fan eh? Surely he would love to sample Trump's new course

For what it's worth, I stopped by the Union Square Barnes & Noble in Manhattan on my way home from work today, and inquired with the faintly disdainful hipster gentleman at the customer service desk about Frost's appearance there on October 20th. He didn't know anything about it and said it's too early for details to be available, but based on past standard procedure: "If the manager thinks it will be very popular" ("It will," I told him), you can line up the morning of, and starting at 9:00 a.m. purchase the book and get a wristband entitling you to entry that evening to the event. 350 will be given out, and some more standby wristbands of a different color in case there turns out to be room left. You can come back and start lining up two hours before the event (whose start time isn't yet listed at the MacMillan landing page for the book - I'd guess 7:30 or 8:00). He recommended calling back the week before for precise details.

I didn't think to ask the next obvious question - given that the book is actually released on the 18th, how will that work? But probably he wouldn't be able to answer that until later anyway. I suppose either they'll give out wristbands to whoever buys during those two days, or more likely make you come back the morning of the 20th with your book and receipt.

There you go. Or there we go, I suppose. Sounds like I'll be coming in to work late that day.

Wish Frost was doing this at an independent, local bookstore instead or also - though I can't think offhand of any in Manhattan that have the space.

[EDIT: If any other NYC Peaksters want to meet up there, I'd be game.]

I prefer the Spanish cover, to be honest. Gorgeous.

the spanish edition is identical to the american edition under its dust cover. the only difference is the color and obviously the language. a photo of the american edition sans dust cover was posted by the macmillan employee on twitter awhile back who quickly took it down. the artwork was identical..
