Here is Subterranean Press's SNL of NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

When I went to take pictures of it for the site, I noticed that the Manx art page is damaged! And that's my favorite art piece!

I wrote Mr. Schafer an email in the hopes he has a book to exchange. Wish me luck, guys! *** Just heard back from Bill at Sub Press. Wow! That was fast! He will take care of it. Bill and his team are amazing people!

Without further ado, here is the mint condition copy I received from Sub Press in exchange for the damaged one. It's a different number, so I thought I would update the pics.

However, much better than the pics with them in the bag. LOL

P.S. Don't call, Stroppygoblin, "Goblin-BOY". He gets his "goblin" up at that name. Tell his girlfriend, though!!! LOL

Though the potential "Mrs Stroppygoblin" is very accustomed to this!!!

Hey Ben,

I order my bags straight from Brodart. Here is the link: http://www.shopbrodart.com/library-supplies/archival-supplies/archival-photo-storage/archival-multimedia-bags/_/Slide-Rite-Storage-Bags/?q=slide-rite%2bstorage%2bbags

However, Brodart does not make the really big bags anymore. =( The biggest bag they have, which I insist you buy, will barely fit the gift edition of IT. The SNL of IT requires a much larger bag. If you need a larger bag, then I suggest buying the bags that don't have a seal. They have those in a lot of sizes. However, you'd have to seal the book really good with packing tape. ;)

I hope I've been of some help. =)

I still wonder why Sub Press didn't offer these from the start.

I was wondering that myself. I noticed that a lot of LEs in general don't come with them with the cheapest edition (there are only traycases for the most expensive one), which is frustrating to me if you're still paying that much for a book. There should at least be an option.

Ben Eads
02-25-2014, 07:43 AM
Thanks, Bill and, Cyber!

Cyber,

I was a little surprised because every SNL edition of Horns came in either a slipcase or a traycase. IMHO, Joe Hill's work deserves the best treatment possible. ;)

Ben Eads

Been a while, folks! But I finally got settled with my friend. I traded him a book in hopes for an SNL of The Shining, but he was unable to get that. So, we came to an agreement that we're both happy with, and he sent me the SNL of Doctor Sleep. I'm in love with this book! Absolutely stunning! CD really knocks them out of the ball park! =)

I feel pretty lucky to have that be the first thing I ever got from CD. Only other thing in my collection to match quality wise was Little Sisters of Eleuria. Love the feel of the paper in the Doctor Sleep. I wish I had been "on the boat" for the publication of It.

That bright white clamshell really stands out on the shelf and announces itself. I don't know if white is rarely used for other authors as well, but other than obviously showing mistreatment, I'm surprised not to see it on more collectibles.

Ben Eads
03-30-2015, 06:27 PM
Thanks everyone! I hope to be on the prowl for an SNL of The Shining soon. Just don't have the funds now.

I agree, TCCBodhi, this has turned out to be one of my favorites by CD. I LOVE the SNL of The Little Sisters of Eluria. =)

No worries. =) And thank you so much in your interest in reading one.

Amazon would be best. I just looked and I don't have any copies from the press that I could sign and sell until another shipment comes in a month. Those go for $15. If you'd like, I can put you on a waiting list. Just shoot me a PM. =)

Ordered HOLLOW HEART from Amazon, and added THE CAPTAIN in Blu-Ray so I'd get free postage. Of course, my greedy governor (I did NOT vote for her!) made me pay state tax, and I ignored the 1 star movie review (it was in German!).

The dust jacket has a good sized ding in it. Waiting to hear back from a friend to see if he has an extra DJ to sell me. If not, I'll post the need for one in the King Items Wanted section. Wish me luck!

Cemetery Dance replaced my copy! Yay! Now I've got a mint condition one. =)

Very happy that the signed numbered limited edition of Joe Hill's Full Throttle arrived today! I love Sub Press doing something new and making the book wider, but... wait for it...

As you can see in the pics, you can barely see the full signature sheet. Other than that, I love it. Will contact the press.

I've contacted Sub Press. Fingers crossed.

Nice NOS4A2! I'm reading that one now and I love it, got me looking at what editions were available. That Sub Press version you have is sweet too.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, my friend. Thanks! NOS4A2 is my favorite novel by Hill. =)

Look what Cemetery Dance sent me today! The book is fine but the slipcase is damaged. Looks a lot worse in person. I emailed them and hope they've got an undamaged one to replace mine with.

Updates! Cemetery Dance sent me a replacement slipcase in mint condition! CD rocks! New slipcase pics at the bottom of this post.

Finally got around to posting pics of these. I love the Grant first editions. I picked up The Wastelands when I was twelve in exchange for mowing a lawn. =)

Thanks, Randall! I've had it since I was twelve. I've taken very good care of it. Spine is fine, boards are fine, DJ is fine. This one is a keeper!
