Looks pretty sweet! And I like the fact that there's a separate print of the cover artwork.

Interesting they didn't take an email address when I ordered, so won't be getting any email confirmation of my order.

Nice surprise tonight. A new King signed edition always makes for a good night.

They never took my email address either James. I asked and they just said it will be sent by courier on release and card will be charged at that time.

Good chance I have secured a second copy. If so, I'd like to recover some costs towards the first purchase. Feel free to PM me offers if you need a copy. This would be shipped from the UK at cost.

Rachel, did they let you order two on the phone? I asked but was told one per customer.

Rachel Readman
08-09-2013, 04:34 AM
They did but I had to get one in my name and one in my husbands but to the same address and the sales assistant had to check with a supervisor. My Father in law has just secured another copy for me too so I now have 3 and my mother in law is going to try later today but I expect there won't be any available by then.

I'm trying to get hold of my parents to ask them to order as well so I'll let you know if they come up trumps. They aren't home at the minute and they haven't taken their mobile phones with them.

Tito_Villa
08-09-2013, 04:39 AM
I phoned back (i'd originally ordered 2 myself) to check on my order because i didn't want it cancelled and they have reduced it to one, shame, so i have 3 spare

The same reason why Scribner do always restricts their contest to US residents (which is annoying): contracted territory restrictions for selling their books.


As i originally gave 2 names for the address, the woman told me that my gf could call to get another copy. So same address do not seem to be an issue. I'll ask her to do that... but she's off to work til 10pm...

Rachel Readman
08-09-2013, 05:46 AM
Another secured so hopefully that's 4 copies provided they don't reduce my first order to only one. My Dad is on the case as well so might have another one soon!

It clearly says one copy PER PERSON not per family or per address so if you have several family members who can order it should be fine.

Yeah, but a contest has one or two prizes that they give for free, they could have easily sold to the US and charged any fee they wanted to recoup the costs.

The main reason is that the laws governing contests differ from place to place. Even within Canada, when I was younger, some contests applied everywhere except Quebec, because the rules were different and too restrictive in that province.

Rachel Readman

Another copy secured by my Mother in law! So if my Dad gets a copy as well then I could get 6 (or 5 if they reduce my first order to 1). Might be able to get my sister to order as well...

I'll take offers on them or ebay them, depends on what the prices are like really as we could do with the funds. Probably best to see exactly how many I actually do receive when they ship as I don't want to sell before I have them and leave people disappointed. This is the first time I have managed to secure more than one copy of any signed book so I don't know the protocol for selling them on, it's nice to have the opportunity for once though.

When my mother in law spoke to them they said that every call today has been for this book. I just hope they don't oversell it and end up cancelling or not fulfilling orders.

Nope. Because publishers are subject to territorial restrictions. H&S cannot sell to the USA, where King's rights are dealt by Scribner.
Scribner, cannot sell to the UK where the rights are owned by Hodder. etc

Maybe Scribner will offer a signed limited edition as well... although i doubt it because there is already CD's DOCTOR SLEEP.

I'd like one of your copies of the UK Doctor Sleep Signed Limited Numbered Edition of 200 for £310. I'm fairly new to posting, so I'm not sure if I'm following protoco,l and doing this correctly. But feel free to admonish me if I'm not.

Called and got my order in & decided a couple of minutes later to try and get an extra copy. The lady I spoke with told me that there's a one copy limit per address, but she was kind enough to let me order a 2nd copy in my wife's name which will be shipped to my mother in law.
Bottom line, I have a spare copy which I'd like to offer to anyone interested. I'll match Tito_villa's offer of GBP 310.-

OK I've been asked if I would consider offering super limited remarques in the copies of Doctor Sleep which I receive. I'm on the fence.

I know many consider it devaluation in a S/L and that many consider unofficial artists doing remarques in books to be a no no. So, I don't know what interest there would be and how everyone would feel about this idea. Clearly the books would cost more because of the remarques as well as considering the secondary market prices.

Let fly with your thoughts everyone, I won't be offended if you all say no, as I understand this is not for everyone.

It would be a no from me, I only like remarques in books by artist who had contributed to the book

OK I've been asked if I would consider offering super limited remarques in the copies of Doctor Sleep which I receive. I'm on the fence.

I know many consider it devaluation in a S/L and that many consider unofficial artists doing remarques in books to be a no no. So, I don't know what interest there would be and how everyone would feel about this idea. Clearly the books would cost more because of the remarques as well as considering the secondary market prices.

Let fly with your thoughts everyone, I won't be offended if you all say no, as I understand this is not for everyone.

It'd be a "yes" for me Rachel - I have no bias at all towards remarques being done by the nominated artist in a given book - so long as the art is complimentary to the tone of the novel, and the remarque is great (as I know yours would be) then I'm all for it :smile:

Same here. It's not even technically a "re" "mark" at that point. To me, it would heavily devalue the book.

I fully expected most people to say this about remarques or original art. I don't want to be seen as trying to push my wares and only asked because someone else asked me about doing this.

In terms of the 6 books I may have coming, I will be offering 5 for sale. I've had offers of £400 for copies (plus shipping) but have these people on hold until I decide what to do and see how prices and offers go for them. I'm considering putting them on ebay for pre-order but would prefer them to sell here to collectors. If anyone here wants to make offers, particularly those that have already asked me for copies then feel free. I would expect Paypal gift payment in £GBP to secure copies. There a many here who will back up my honesty and legitimacy so there would be no worries on receiving books or a refund should I not receive all the copies. Shipping is likely to be around £25 to the US but would only be charged at actual cost.

This is obviously a polarizing issue....I know you're trying to defray your cost but I would probably be interested if I knew that I wasn't paying a 75% markup for a book so the seller would only need to pay 25% for their copy. When I see this, it just makes me think that I'm being told that I can get a copy if I buy one for you, too.
But I'm sure someone is willing to pay for it. Looks like TV got £377.77 for his copy on ebay. Good luck with the sale.

I agree. From what I've seen of the H&S editions, there's nothing too compelling about them. Especially not at $400-500.

Rachel Readman
08-15-2013, 09:27 AM
I've decided to let my copies go to people here first rather than to people who I don't 'know' or via ebay even though I could get more money for them. 4 copies available (as long as I get them all). £350 including shipping to Europe/US/Canada (normally £25 via UPS 2 day service). Australia, New Zealand, China and far off lands will be about £50 so I'll cover half that in the price for shipping. Those who have sent me a PM and are on the list will be given first dibs.

Patrick

I agree wholeheartedly with this - it appears this edition hasn't even sold out yet with a few of our members here posting as late as yesterday they got copies at issue price - if it was available to the us market most of us here would have helped sell out already - thats why an extra 140 pounds seems a little expensive for this edition. To me, a slipcase and extra print aren't worth near as much as CD amazing production quality.

I agree that the number increases the rarity factor but the fact that its just a slightly modified trade is kind of disappointing. I'm not saying however that you shouldn't try to get what you want for it - if you can get it, more power to you!

Basic supply and demand ... if someone wants/needs something and they are willing to pay the price, it will sell. If price is too high or they don't want/need it bad enough, it won't. Nothing wrong with making a profit, and I particularly appreciate it when the seller is right up front about it, especially among friends.

Since we're all being upfront and I am as honest as the day is long... I need the money to fulfill a dream of having my own kiln so that I can fire my own pottery work rather than having to pay someone else way over the odds to use theirs. I can't afford to buy one as they cost a fortune to buy. Selling these books at £350 including shipping will mean I can just about manage to buy that kiln, it won't cover the cost of the kiln, far from it. I'll then have to spend money from my own funds to have all the electrics wired into the outbuilding which will be my workshop. Anyone who buys from me would be helping me out BIG TIME!!

£325 plus £25 for shipping is a fair market price and they are selling on ebay at £350+, I have had offers of £400 by email from people who I don't actually know, they must know of me from my artwork or website or something but as I said, I decided to let people here have them if they want them.

I certainly don't want to be seen as being greedy or extortionate and I think I have done a lot for the website and community with the Haven Fund contributions, swapping books with people and getting UK books for people and shipping them out at no extra cost etc and I will continue to do this if I can.

There are lots of people here who sell books way over the retail price every single time a book is released, look at Joyland only a few weeks ago. There have been numerous debates over this subject and the majority see it as perfectly acceptable and nobody has ever offered me books at cost but then I don't begrudge them selling at whatever price I, or anyone else is willing to pay. I, like many here, cannot afford to buy books time after time and have a complete collection or anything even close, occasionally I manage to have spare cash to grab odd copies here and there.

Nadine, your disbelief is erroneous. I was pretty upset, actually, and would have replied further but (perhaps wisely) the thread was closed. I remain deeply divided on whether I wish to be part of a community that is so cliquey (?) that it has no tolerance for new members whose input does not meet your strict (albeit two-faced) views on what is acceptable. Before I posted that information, I read much of this thread, and that of "Joyland", and both are replete with members both buying and selling SK books. This is a good thing, it seems to me, and if my contribution was in keeping, and potentially of value, I was happy to throw it in the ring. I certainly did not expect to get flamed in the process. Randall's response that you at least stated "I don't want to bust your balls or anything" (before you went ahead and did it anyway) and that actually excuses you in some way is beyond my understanding, to be honest. He goes on to state that I was treated better here than some on other forum sites. It seems a poor measure to me, that it's okay to be rude over here, as long as you're not as rude as the guys over there. I read something recently, and I'll be darned if I can recall where (I have this nagging voice in my head saying it was in an SK book - if so, one of you can probably enlighten me, and correct my sorry butchering of what follows) - it went something like "he was randy and erect with his own continued self-existence" - that's what sprang to mind when I read your post, and that of your compatriot.

MarcoL
08-16-2013, 06:20 AM
My 2 cents...on the one hand I also don't feel okay asking more than the issued price + the extra costs for shipping, but on the other hand there are lots of books I'd like to add to my collection for which I also need to pay a premium. The bit of profit I can make this time (opportunities like this don't happen too often) allows me to add some other books to my collection which cost a lot more than the issue price. Isn't that the way most of us collectors like to build their collection?

08-16-2013, 06:52 AM
As many know there has been a situation recently where J K Rowling released a book under a pseudonym and a very small number were signed under said pseudonym and sold via Goldsboro in the UK. This title was sold by the bookseller for £16.99 and are now selling on eBay for upwards of £2800. I know this is a very rare instance but it gives an indication that if someone wants something badly enough they will virtually re-mortgage.
Now a print run of 200 for a UK King Ltd gives the book a greater rarity than the US edition but we all know US editions are more sought after regardless of print run. Keeping North America out of the loop may have some bearing on re-sale value and therefore asking for a return of +%75 isn't over the top, it may be the case that these books maybe undervalued when Joyland is selling for +%400. It does come down to issue price I know but surely as is shown by J K Rowling/Robert Galbraith, something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay.

Been thinking about this post for a while, and finally figured out what bothered me about it.

If I read your post correctly, what I'm hearing is your issue is not so much with the inflated price, but rather my reason behind it.

Really?
You have issue paying a premium for a book when the reason is to help fund the purchase of another King book for a collector?

I don't know about other collectors, but I for one would much rather pay a premium for a book I wanted if it was for sale by someone I knew was also a collector, and was using those additional funds to help further their own collection, as opposed to some stranger off eBay who was more than likely just in it for the absolute profit (the guy selling 12 signed copies of Joyland springs to mind).

I'm not really worried about people who have an issue with people selling books for profit, like I said above it will only sell if there is a market for it, and its a fun topic to discuss (although we may have to change the title of this thread lol), but having issue with the reason behind selling a book for profit is a bit weird to me....

There is a reason why the companies designate a purchase as one per person or household. I think it's clear they want to encourage as many individuals who want one to get one. Not to have someone skirt it for profitable gain by hoarding even just 1 more than you truly wish to own.

Thanks for your thoughts Jimimck. I'll try to clarify.
I have no problem paying a markup on a book, especially if it's another collector. I'm glad that there are people like you providing this service to those who want a copy but, due to the publisher's policies, don't have access to it. I just think that the markup that I've seen is unreasonable but, like I said, there are others that feel fine paying it. If I feel like I'm being gouged more than helped by someone then it turns me off to the deal. In this instance, I see someone charging sizable markup to 1. order a book (minimal effort) and then 2. forward that book to someone (a little more effort).
Do I think it's worth what you're asking? No, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ask what you think is fair for your efforts.

Here are my thoughts on this conflict between twisted and steerpike. If the intent is to sell books at profit, then the business should take place in “Collectible Classifieds” tread. The collector discussion threads are for active members to discussion, debate, share information and help each other get “hook up” on something they are looking for. First of all, the members that "live" in these discussion threads are typically not going to pay retail or even prices that can be obtain on eBay. So steerpike, as you are finding out , you are more than likely wasting your time in trying to sell in a thread like this. Naturally, well established members will have the benefit to get away with trying to sell something here more so than someone just coming here for selling only. So, stick with the “Collectible Classifieds” tread or join in a discussion of “Doctor Sleep UK Signed edition limited to 200 copies” as this tread was intended… If possible, let’s lay this to rest…

Thanks RIC - I am still finding my way around (did not know there was a "Collectable Classifieds" section). I'll finish my own "contribution" by adding that the copies for sale via the Analecta site are not as-issued, with a big mark-up - a heck of a lot of work, co-ordination and additional fees (artists included) went into these, and the price reflects that. Nuff said on that, for my part. And this is completely aside from the downright rudeness of some of DT's members.

It's fine that you are learning the ropes but I really don't think anyone was all that rude to you, some were having a bit of fun with your multiple posts but nothing excessive, I've seen what some people are capable of on here and trust me, no one was rude, some were joking, including me, and you took it as being at your expense when you should have joked back, it's really nothing to get so bent out of shape over, no one meant you any harm by it and calling potential customers rude isn't all that great of a strategy either, I came on these boards for over a year before I decided to join because I wanted to know what the people were like and how I should approach some and maybe even avoid others given my personality and theirs and how I think they might clash, if anyone was rude it might have been you for blurting out multiple posts of the same thing over and over again and many different threads

I'm wondering if this is slow to sell more because of the manner in which it's being sold, rather than just where they're allowed to ship to.

I've never had to ring up for a limited edition like in the "olden days" & I'm not exactly new to collecting - it was quite fun waiting 'til Monday morning not knowing if I'd be in time (& even more fun knowing I'd be able to afford it for once).

Anyway, just a thought, seems to me there has to be more than 200 interested collectors outside the US & Canada, that's all.

I would say it is multiple reasons.

1. No offense to our UK friends out there, but most of the UK S/Ls have been less than exciting over the years. No new art, boring slipcase, no DJ. Take all that and couple it with the UTD shipping snafu and, well......

2. This S/L is not cheap...even at cover price.

3. American collectors make up the bulk of the SK collecting community, and since they cannot buy this edition through normal channels....and even if they could many do not collect UK S/Ls.

4. Everybody is broke from the avalanche of other SK S/Ls this year.

I'd also be interested in a trade for signed/limited Joe Hill book(s) like the UK slipcased S/L 20th century ghosts for example if you live in Europe.

"American collectors make up the bulk of the SK collecting community, and since they cannot buy this edition through normal channels....and even if they could many do not collect UK S/Ls."
Well, a true completist collector has the US & UK versions of each published book of Stephen King. If we look at what collectors are proud of, with all their pictured stuff in so many threads here, I may conclude that we see a lot of UK editions which generally have a smaller printrun and considered somehow hard to get. The fact that they have our amiable protagonist Stephen King's signature, this makes a UK book not less collectible than the American one.

tippy4
08-21-2013, 11:54 AM
Well, speaking from my own experience, I started collecting UK S/Ls six or seven years after I started collecting US S/Ls.

I purposely avoided them....but eventually gave in.

In fact, the ONLY UK King books that I own are his S/Ls.

I believe a large number of collectors here have passed on Doctor Sleep.

I disagree...I think the UK version IS "less collectible" than the US version.

DoctorZaius
08-21-2013, 12:56 PM
I know I passed on it. Not because its a British limited (I had to own Joyland) but because I already have the CD one coming. I do not see myself as ever being a completist - not enough funds. Frankly, this edition does not look that good either.

I have no interest in UK editions. In fact, in a moment of frenzy a couple of years ago I ordered the UK S/L of The Wind through the Keyhole. When it arrived I wondered what the hell was I thinking and promptly sold it.

Exceptions being things like The Colorado Kid and Joyland, for which there is no U.S. S/L'd version. I also did buy the U.K. S/L'd release of Under the Dome b/c it had a numbered limitation page rather just just a flatsigned blank page like the U.S. But when I look at it on my shelf I'm not particularly happy about it.

So, yes, I have the U.S. Dr. Sleep on order and that's enough for me.

I'd say that the majority of Ltds in the uk are not as good production wise, ie hodder but you cannot fault Colorado Kid.

But I'd have to think a lot longer before I come back with another example.

Which ones do I go back to and purr over....CDs mainly!

But I do have all the uk SLs that have come up since collecting, and actually grateful for this version of Dr S as missed out on the CD version.

......ps I don't actually purr, it's just to get my point over....which I suppose is an agreement of sorts but reasons I like my uk versions too.

OK, I see your point. I was just curious is all. Didn't mean to sound snippy, but in retrospect I guess I could see how my question was a bit terse. I don't necessarily agree, as I generally like the U.K. Editions and therefore have an entire collection of them. Nevertheless, I can see how some may prefer their own countries version over another. I guess in the end it comes down to one's personal taste's.

Also, as rule I agree that the U.K. S/L's do not seem to have the same production standards as the U.S. one's. I am generally a fan of the DJ's for the 1/1 U.K. editions mostly by Hodder & Stoughton.

I think your answer as an American collector looks impartial, and much more to the point, unlike some others who seem angry that they could not get the book and as a "revenge" they diminish the UK edition by presenting it as a non-collectible, not worthy of collecting while holding some other UK stuff in their collections.

To each their own. I'll just wait a year or two to grab it when someone gets tired of it sitting on their shelf. I agree with Merlin that I usually prefer the DJ's over the US version. Quality wise, I think that collectors tend to agree that the US versions are just more collectiable. I found it somewhat disappointing that H&S decided not to sell to US customers(is this the first for that). I also didnt see as much comradery among members here in regards to this edition as I have seen in the past.

08-23-2013, 12:08 AM
As someone who has missed out on purchasing US signed limited's in the past because of the "no sale to international customers" rule imposed, I'm happy to have had a chance to pick this edition up without too much competition.

I'm also a fan of the bright colours used. Will be a nice contrast to some of the other UK editions in my bookcase.

I'm not diminishing this version. I just don't think its worth the price people are asking on the secondary market. I bought the CD version direct from them at the time of purchase and i'm much more impressed with the overall production compared to this and the prices that are being asked. More then likely it will go down in value like the UK version of TWTTKH did after high initial prices.

As all King books, they initially go for huge prices in the first couple of weeks, and then they gradually come down to a more realistic price. Wait a year, or until the next King book comes out, to gauge the normal selling price.

Nope, sounded pretty snide to me...oh wait I just finished a nice bottle of Pinot tonight with dinner (been studying a lot - so first drink in a few weeks) - forget what I said...I already did :)

I think there is more comraderie than may appear on the public threads as oftentimes transactions amongst friends are negotiated via private communications.

As far as the UK limited editions, I agree with the perspective that, aside from editions with no U.S. counterpart, they are lower on the wish list for a large number of collectors. I share the belief that this is because (a) they tend to be of lower quality relative to their U.S. counterparts, and (b) they are from a different country than the author.

Like tippy, I started collecting the "duplicate" U.K. Limited editions long after I had built a collection of domestic (to myself and the author) collectible books. Also, I make no concerted effort to collect UK 1st editions. I simply buy ones that appeal to me because of the dust jacket or because I love the story so much I want to expand on that title.

I can't argue with the belief they are not as desirable/collectible as the US versions, but Brice, you reckon the fact they are not from the same country as the author plays a part? That reason hadn't crossed my mind until you mentioned it. I'm not disagreeing, just wondering how much of a part that plays compared to the production values...

That's 99% of it to me. King is from the U.S. What I care about his books published in England? Or Germany, or Holland, etc. I don't.

I think the fact that King is from the U.S. plays a small part of it for me as well...but I think an even bigger part is that I am from the U.S..

As an example....I recently went to a Gaiman signing. I debated what book I should bring with me to get signed, and ultimately, I brought a U.S. first edition of Coraline......but did consider bringing a U.K. first edition since Gaiman is a Brit.

My understanding is that the country of origin of an author has material influence.

A mitigating factor to my comments above can be the actual limitation of an edition, such as the smaller print run for this UK S/L of DOCTOR SLEEP.

Also, I believe that English language limited editions, regardless of country of origin, have a wider audience, and therefore collectibility, than their foreign language counterparts.

The old axiom in book collecting is to "follow the flag" meaning to collect the books published in the author's home country. They are felt to (usually) be the most collectible and meaningful. I fell into collecting UK editions of King's books many years ago and still collect all that are available to me. I think I am attracted to them because they are in English. I have a very few books in my collection that are in other languages but they mean very little to me. I guess that is because I can't read them.

Yeah, Bob I can see the "follow the flag" axiom. The more I think of it the more I agree with that. The author does tend to "belong" to the people of his/her country. I actually started collecting the U.K. editions because a) I think the DJ's are cooler most times (grass is always greener) and b) I see them as being more rare to collect here in the U.S.

Just throwing this out there, but as far as "quality" goes nothing produced in the U.K can approach the dismal quality of the early "Doubleday editions"!!! LOL

Agree. Another message board I frequent deals with college football and the discussions usually have much more of an edge than on this site and there is a fairly intolerant attitude at times. One line that gets used a lot whenever someone makes a statement or claim is "Pics or GTFO."
