Joe Hill, Author

[Brice]

Cool! I didn't know he had a new book coming out.

[herbertwest]

From Joe Hill's twitter account :


Scheduled pub date on NOS4A2 is April 30, 2013. Hardcover. Will be a full book tour. Simultaneous pub in UK, Canada.

Yes, UK tour for NOS4A2 as well, I believe (NOS4R2 over there). Will be giving away advance-advance copies at NEIBA on Thursday

[sgc1999]

first glimpse looks pretty good, sort of how i pictured him. :belial: ...IG,..not the devil.

[Ben Staad]

Not to be picky but he looks a little to put together. I pictured Ig as being disheveled and un-groomed.

[sgc1999]

at least he doesnt look like harry potter:)

[biomieg]

Another tidbit from Joe's Twitter feed, from October 1st (may have been posted and/or discussed before):


There are plans for a NOS4A2 limited, which’ll include color plates, an alternate ending & a novella that won't be in the regular hardcover. Not sure I can give details about date, price, or who the publisher on that would be, koffkoff @subpress koff excuse, something in my throat.

[Tito_Villa]

Yeah if you ordered the 3rd Locke & Key S/L you get 1st dibs on the new S/L

[Ben Staad]

Do you know when the S/Ls will go on sale? Probably cannot afford it but I'm just curious.

[Dan]

They are on presale now. S/L is $250.

[Ben Staad]

They are on presale now. S/L is $250.

Well I didn't (and don't) see it on sub-presses website. Thanks for the info but that price is way to much for me. Can't wait to see what these will look like though.

[Joe315]

I was interested too but 250 is a bit much right now.

[Cook]

Yeah, I couldn't find it either.
Anybody have a link address?

[Ben Staad]

Yep. I think you are correct sir!

[Dan]

Yes, sorry. The Locke & Key is on presale at Link (http://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/locke_key_crown_of_shadows)

I emailed a few months ago asking about preorder of NOS4A2. Was told that customers that preorder Locke & Key 3 S/L will be notified before the general public. It does not reserve a copy, so to speak.

[mikeC]

I'm confused why the Locke and Key limiteds are so expensive. They're signed and have scripts? Are the scripts like a screenplay? 250 seems like a lot when you can get a hardback trade signed for like $25.

When does the next series come out? I am pumped for that!

The s/l has a custom dj done by Vincent chong. Its also signed by Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriquez. and yes it has basically a screen play in the back which is over 3 times the amount of pages than the actual story.
Still pretty steep at $250 but a REALLY nice set of books. Vinny Chongs dj artwork is amazing as well!

I have no direct knowledge, but I would guess the cost of acquiring the rights to the project is also pretty steep. Comic related projects usually are. But the books are really beautiful, so I think they're worth it!

I asked Joe about this today. I said " the jacket makes him look a little to ritzy for IG doesnt it. His response was something to the effect of. "You gotta keep in mind that this is just a promo shot for the actor and not what IG himself will come across as in the movie" I used quotes but this is more of a sumation of what he said. I think he is psyched that this movie is being made.

Very nice answer. I am pretty excited about this movie as well. Glad you mentioned this to Joe. :thumbsup:

[mikeC]

Thanks for the replies. I would like to have a novelization of this story rather than a screenplay.

Locke and Key was the first digital comic I bought, I was going to read the whole series on there even though I'm not a big fan of the format but they only released Vol1 on the kindle and that was it. So I bought all the other books, but have no vol1.

[sgc1999]

I think it would be an amazing novel.
I couldn't agree more with having it novelized verses a boring screenplay. I can't imagine anyone actually excited to read the screenplay other than a theatre major or someone in "THE BIZ".

[Ricky]

I'm still not too sold on Daniel Radcliffe as Ig.

[Dan]

Got an email from David at Betts this morning. It looks like I got a signed copy of NOS4A2 coming my way soon! Very excited! Priced reasonable, also!

I am reading mine as soon as i get it!!! I cant wait until next year!!! HORNS and 11/22/63 were my favorite books this year. When we went to the Mason Event I asked what JOe was working on and Stephen KIng talked about his son's new book for about 4-5 minutes. He was so excited for his son.

[Lauterer]

READ THE PROOF??? Are you sillyyyyyyyy :excited: WE NEVER Read collectible books :P We buy them, put them on a clean shelf, and stare at them hours and hours... but read them??? NEVER!

[Gris]

So far there are now actually AREs printed. The only tihng floating around are a carton of "Bound Manuscripts" that haven't yet been edited. They were printed up for a trade show 2 weeks ago. If that is what you are getting a signed copy of, wow. I can't even get one.

[jhanic]

I read my proofs. Carefully, but I do read them.

John

[WeDealInLead]

Overlook has a proof for H-S Box at around $60 and they're having a 50% sale. Just saying in case anyone wants to get it.

edit: I only have a few ARCs but I've gotten them after the books were released. If I had gotten an ADVANCE READING COPY before the release date, I'd read it (carefully) for sure. Especially something as cool as new Joe Hill's book.

[sgc1999]

[Dan]

Really!?! Wow! I can't wait.

[Randall Flagg]

The publisher will be sending me an ARE. Probably won't be the same as people just received, but the price is right.

[sgc1999]

I bet it will be exactly the same. We were told there is no official arc yet so you will most likely be getting the uncopyedited bound manuscript we got. Good for you!
I think its gonna be a great collectable down the road.

How do you get on this "list" that allows you to get ARCs?

[Randall Flagg]

I guess since I am the Director (owner) here, that makes me part of the Press.

[Dan]

Very good. I'm not sure I'm even the "director" of my own house, if you ask my wife. :)

[Randall Flagg]

Rest assured, I have no such title at home.

[CRinVA]

Me neither - wife's the boss - I'm just the primary financier! And if things keep going the way they are with her job, she may take that position as well! Guess it will give me more time to read books! :-)

[Gris]

I just got one of these arealy proofs dropped off. It's huge. Like 3x as big as any of his other books.

The regular AREs are supposed to be arriving Monday.

They did this same thing with Horns. I have an "uncorrected proof"...
http://allgris.dyndns.org/books/Images/Horns_%20A%20Novel12088_f.jpg

as well as a regular ARE...

[Randall Flagg]

Nice. By huge do you mean thickness, or height x width?

[Gris]

Nice. By huge do you mean thickness, or height x width?

Thickness. It's 6"x9", so normal there, but it has to be at least 2" thick

[mikeC]

Shadow Show is an AWESOME book. Joe's story is great, but almost all of them are. The timing of it was rather spooky. I mean, we released this book literally one week after Ray died :(

I am slowly going through this book savoring every story but I just wanted to say the story The Companions was awesome, it IS a Ray Bradbury story it's uncanny.

[Roseannebarr]

Just received my copy of NOS4A2 It is midnite, I have to wait until tomorrow night to start reading it. :( Darn Job! ThanKs again DAvid at BETTS Books!!! it is my favorite book ever! Next to my 23 flatsigned stephen king books, my 18 s/l sk books and my 40 first edition sk books.

[Patrick]

Congrats! Happy for you guys!

Wish I had one coming. I've been a bit out of the loop lately, more so than usual anyway. So it goes.

[Dan]

I'm now halfway through NOS4A2 and love it! Definitely his best work to date. Anyone else reading this?

No, I'm kidding. I'm curious to see how much it will go for.

[Tito_Villa]

Me too, i think i'm going to put it up at a low starting price, £20 maybe and see where it goes

That is Tito_Villa. He mentioned it above. I'm very curious to see how high it goes. It is probably at it's most value right now due to the very low supply.

Again if it wasn't for the wedding I wouldn't be selling it :-( but atleast I got to read a great book before it came out.
Already looking forward to the second read next year!

My sources say 10....and I want that book so bad I am drooling....but my budget doesn't have THAT much play room for a book. Would you take a same numbered set of Locke and Keys in trade?!?!?!

[Gris]

There's a lot more than 10 of these. I'm not sure how many, but I think 2 cases of 24. I have no clue how many were signed after they were sent to Joe.

I seem to remember 2 small boxes, less than fifty i would say. only a small number of them were doodled, the rest just signed. This is an uncopyedited bound manuscript, so there will still be a proof coming.

nice score!

It doesn't say it's signed. I agree, it shouldn't be too hard to get him to sign it. Though, with how common his signatures are, it could be worth more if it's NOT signed! :tongue:

All too true. I think almost every Joe Hill book I own is signed (and I don't even collect signed books).

The new Joe Hill Novel, NOS4A2, is up on the Subpress site!

[Randall Flagg]

Wow. $1K for a lettered.

[Randall Flagg]

Just received word my ARE of NOS4A2 is on the way.

[Tito_Villa]

I would love to be able to pre-order a copy but just can't afford it atm :-(

[Joe315]

Does any one know if Sub press takes immediate payment or if the preorder acts as a hold until the book is published?

[sgc1999]

immediate payment

[Joe315]

damn, guess I'll be looking at the secondary market.

[Dan]

I ordered one of the S/L numbered.

[Lauterer]

Mmh, it is to expensive for a signed book with 750 copies from Hill! Ok, Hill is good, but so expensive?? 1000$ for the lettered one? What do u think? I would say, with 750 copies there should be some pics in the secendary market? Mmh, grrrrr. thinking about the lettered one ^^

I would think that if a King lettered (granted it wasn't an original novel) drops from $1.5K to $500, that 26 of these @$1K will be a tough sell. I also believe the S/L's will be available aftermarket below issue price in a year or so.

[biomieg]

I really like Joe Hill but I always felt the market wasn't ready for the 'limited edition treatment' that his books got from day 1. Most authors need an audience with a certain critical mass before their books are issued as limiteds, and I'm not sure he had/has that already.

[wizardsrainbow]

Just announced this Morning!!

Subterranean Press is proud to announce Joe Hill's first epic novel, NOS4A2, a vampire road novel that clocks in at over 800 manuscript pages.

***

Charlie Manx is a very bad man with a very special car-a 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith, with the vanity plate NOS4A2. Charlie takes children for rides in his car, all the way to Christmasland. Christmasland is a magic place, a place just for children.

Victoria McQueen has a gift for finding lost things. If she rides her bike through the Shorter Way Bridge, she can find anything that's lost. She's also the only person ever to have escaped from Charlie Manx. Charlie may have died, but he hasn't forgotten Victoria, and he takes her son for a ride in his car.

Vic McQueen will do anything to save her son, but the Shorter Way Bridge has become a more perilous crossing than it was when she was a child. And who wouldn't want to have Christmas... forever? Sleigh bells ring....

In his terrifying new novel, NOS4A2, New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill makes sure you'll never listen to Christmas carols without a shiver again. But more than just horror, NOS4A2 is a story of strength, of magic, of family, and the costs of love. It's about finding what is lost, even when what we lose is ourselves.

The Limited edition of NOS4A2 will be oversize, with an unpublished novella, "Wraith," that was cut from the original manuscript. It also includes an alternate ending to the novel, as well as illustrations, in both black and white and color, by Hill's long-term collaborator on the award-winning comic, Locke & Key, Gabriel Rodriguez.

The Lettered edition will be one of our more elaborate productions, including a special binding, as well as a custom made autopsy bone mallet, Charlie Manx's weapon of choice, housed in the tray case.

Limited: 750 signed numbered hardcover copies: $125
Lettered: 26 signed, specially bound copies, housed in a custom tray case: $1000

I ordered 4 S/Ls and 1 Lettered

[ELazansky]

I'm ordering a S/L today as well

[ELazansky]

Mmh, it is to expensive for a signed book with 750 copies from Hill! Ok, Hill is good, but so expensive?? 1000$ for the lettered one? What do u think? I would say, with 750 copies there should be some pics in the secendary market? Mmh, grrrrr. thinking about the lettered one ^^

I don't see $125 as that expensive. That includes shipping as well. So if you wait until 3-6 months after release, you might find one for 20% off, or $100. Add on shipping and you are at $110. Is it really worth the wait for $15? Unless you are gonna hold out even more and look for a copy at $75 or less. I think it is good price.

[Tito_Villa]

If there are any left on the 14th (payday) i may buy one, loved the story

[George at C-Springs]

I happened to check my mail about a minute after they released, so had the option of a lettered .... couldn't bring myself to spend $1K on something not King though. Got an S/L. Now I guess I'll actually have to read Joe Hill, and will likely start with this one.

I'm saving my $$$s for the Lettered Edition of The Shining!!!!!!

Hi,
so you dont miss out you can always order one and checkout useing pay by check. that will buy you some time

[sgc1999]

If king is the literary equivalent of a big mac and fries, then i guess that would make joe a big mac snack wrap and small fry:)
not as filling, but still a hell of a lot of fun to eat.

[east-tennessee]

S/L for me !! :)

[mikeC]

I think with all the extras and the artist they chose for the illustrations $125 was a fair price. I don't buy any of these as an investment so I just think of value. The arc or are sold for 175-ish and that to me is way out of the price range to read a Hill book early.
Although I don't understand why ARCs/AREs have any value once the book is released.
Again I'm not a collector, I just like cool stuff.

[sgc1999]

this is exactly what people thought when Carrie was released. In fact there was much more harsh critisizm than Joe gets.
granted it was $6 for a copy when it was released but how much is a fine 1st worth now? with signature??
Just sayin:)

[Dan]

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[mikeyw]

S/L for me !! :)

Me too!! Hurrah...

[wizardsrainbow]

I ordered 4 S/Ls and 1 Lettered

Correction...ordered one of each. I went back to order 3 more S/Ls to sell at Betts and it will not let me check out.

[Dan]

I ordered an S/L. I was actually suprised that the price was only $125. Not that I think it should be higher, but Sub Press seems to think so on his books, typically. The Locke & Key S/L's are $250. The lettered seems very high to be. I might have been tempted at $500, but $1,000 is too high.

[Robert Fulman]

Subterranean's website will tell you how many copies of a book are left if you try to order too many. There are currently 301 of the limited, and 5 of the lettered.

[Patrick]

I agree with Eric. I locked in a couple of the S/L's and can now forget about it until they show up in the mail one day and surprise me.

The Lettered is way too expensive, in my opinion.

So, you were able to order more than one? It sounded like you couldn't according to David at Betts.

[Patrick]

...
So, you were able to order more than one? It sounded like you couldn't according to David at Betts.
I didn't know that. I put a "2" in the quantity box on Sub Press' website and completed my order. It appeared to go through on the confirmation email I received.

If it gets knocked down to one book later, I'll be ok with that.

[Dan]

I didn't try, but David did here Linky (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?16861-NOS4A2-Limited-and-Lettered-Announcement-from-Subterranean-Press&p=740220&viewfull=1#post740220)

Perhaps it was a mistake on his part.

[Patrick]

As mentioned in the Joe Hill thread, where I assume this will be merged someday, earlier today I ordered two of the S/L's. The order appeared to go through just fine based on the confirmation email I received.

The price tag on the Lettered is way too high, in my opinion. At half that price I would have been tempted, but at a cool grand, there is no chance.

22 of the Lettered editions have sold so far (only 4 left), so it appears to be working out well for Sub Press.

[CyberGhostface]

Anyone know if the S/L comes in a slipcase?

EDIT: Just sent me a message, they don't. Now I'm not sure if I should get it. The IT SE from Cemetery Dance cost exactly the same, was a bigger book and had a slipcase. Not to mention their Shining SE at 95$ comes with one.

I just hope the extra novella will be published separately from this.

[WeDealInLead]

Let's not candy coat this for a moment. We all know this edition is expensive because of Joe Hill's fee and because he is King's son. Want proof? Look at small presses and absolutely fantastic, unique and affordable lettered editions they're doing. Those lettereds max out at $500. Shit, Dark Regions are doing a lettered/deluxe edition of 13 copies of Tom Piccirilli's new book and it's priced at $300. Compare the extras and what descriptions say the book will look like, and Hill doesn't even come close. More proof? Write ups and endorsments by Uncle Steve create carreers. Show of hands who read Cronin before King endorsed him? He did a write up for Clive Barker without actually even reading the book and Barker's carreer exploded after it. Joe Hill was a published author before the news who his dad broke, but after people found out it became a totally different level of success and his limiteds have gone up in price. I fully admit to buying Heart-Shaped Box because someone told me he's King's son.

This is a smart business move for SubPress. They're milking the collectors because they know they can. This book is priced the same as Simmons and GRRM. In what reality does Hill outsell either of those authors? Again, I like and collect Hill, but the price of that lettered is too expensive for a writter with two novels out, both of which have been remaindered.

[WeDealInLead]

For the record, I did try to buy the book but the shipping is $36 (thirty six, no typo) to Canada.

[biomieg]

You summed it up perfectly, WDIL. I'm not discouraging anyone from buying these books because I'm sure they're going to be nice, but there's just too big a discrepancy between Joe's actual position as a writer in the bigger scheme of things, and what book publishers make him out to be.

I'll stick with the trade edition.

[CyberGhostface]

I think being SK's son only goes so far--Joe Hill is a very talented author and he hasn't milked his connection to SK nor has SK really shilled for him like he has for others. They wrote two short stories together but that's it.

Both Tabitha King and Owen King have written stuff and neither have gotten close to the same level of recognition that Hill has received.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I don't why I ordered and read THE PASSAGE, but I don't think it was because King hyped it. I usually disagree on his opinions of books anyway. I usually buy limited edition books because I have already read some stories by the author and liked them well enough to take a chance on a limited edition of his or her work. The few things I've read by Joe Hill did not grab my interest at all, so that is the reason I am passing on this one. I am vastly more excited about getting my lettered Vance books (which are much more reasonably priced) from Sub Press since he is my all time (tied with one other) author.

[JasonUK]

Here's the thing that annoys me most about the whole King/Hill situation. When the news broke that Hill was King's son the accusations started flying that he only got published because of his famous dad. Self-proclaimed King experts then jumped in to defend Hill saying he had deliberately concealed his identity and that his success was entirely based on his own work.

Fair enough. But since then, many of these King experts and some King related websites have become King/Hill orientated. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! If you want Hill to be respected in his own right don't use King's fan base and on-line presence to promote his work. When I check for news on my favorite author I don't want to read about what his bloody son is up to. If you think he's that good why don't you set up a fan-site for Hill on his own?

Maybe these people are just preparing for the future. They know that King related news will slow down in a few years (not too few, Gan willing) and are looking for a way to prolong their relevance with a gradual transition from King to Hill.

[biomieg]

Are you also referring to this website? I would have agreed with you in the past but there is a reason that the 'Other Authors You Collect' subforum was established. Now virtually all Joe Hill-related news is located there (as far as book collecting goes anyway). This thread should probably be merged with the existing Joe Hill thread, that's true. But the way things are organized now you can avoid reading about other authors by simply avoiding that part of the forum (again, as far as book collecting goes, I don't really visit the rest of the site that much so I wouldn't know about more general Joe Hill news & gossip).

I understand this, and i guess that it's also related to me. I have a website about Stephen King & i dont hesitate to talk about Joe Hill as so far i liked his books.
But on my website i also mention the upcoming new books by Bernard Werber (a french author that i follow with attention), and also write occasionally about other authors.

So, ok Joe is Steve's son... but for my it's not about who's related to who, but for the stories.

[sgc1999]

Lettered edition Sold out!!!
the s/l well on its way. Joe is obviously picking up steam. Im about 3/4 of the way through NAS4A2 and have to say haveing just read insomnia im haveing more fun with this one. I had trouble with horns because im not big about the whole "giving sympathy to the devil" idea. HSB was good. But this is his best in my opinion. More maturely written than his other stuff and really funny! I have laughed out loud several times and no i wasnt drinking :nope:. I think this man is on his way. If someone can just pry him away from the comics for a while and focus on some novels. I for one, am a believer.
oh, and i love his nods to his dads work and his past novels:)

[Randall Flagg]

It looks like NOS4A2 will likely go on sale 4/30/2013. Hill is supposed to do a 9-City author tour:
Austin, Boston, Boulder, Denver, Kansas City, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle.
I would guess he starts in Boston or New York, and ends in either Seattle or San Francisco.
I am guessing that puts him on San Francisco between 5/10 and 5/23.

Interesting note; There appears to be 10-copy signed cartons of books, ISBN: 978-0-06-I probably shouldn't post it, so I won't

[Tito_Villa]

When it come to it, if someone could pick me up a signed copy i would muchly appreciate it!

[sgc1999]

I will be going to at least one event if you need a copy i can get one for you.

I've never read any of Joe Hill's books. How would you compare his writing style, ability to keep the reader involved, etc. compared to his Dad??

[TwistedNadine]

Ive only read 20th century ghosts - I very much enjoyed the uniqueness of the stories and that captivated me but I didnt find his style of writing as good as King's. When I read (most) of King's novels I feel like Im standing right next to the characters and am part of the story. With Hill I wasnt as "involved" - wasnt swept away in his universe - but I was entertained. Maybe not the best way to explain it but there you go

I read his short stories and loved and was surprised by "The Cape", I tried to read Heart Shaped Box - OK, but couldnt make it to the end. Read "HORNS" and bought copies for other people! What a fun read. done with it in 3 days. Working on NOS4A2 stayed up and read the first 300 pages, loved it and then.... still reading.

HORNS was an excellent read. Better than some of SK books. I think his ideas are original and interesting. I do not find NOS4A2 a scary read. I was expecting more/better,

I presumed that, but hopefully smaller bookstores (and the stores where Hill will be visiting) will get some, versus Amazon who will only ship the books out in a padded envelope or box with an "airbag" in it.

I plan to attend the San Francisco stop(s). Jerome and I are long overdue for a couple pints and another visit with Joe. :thumbsup:

How are people reading NOS4A2?
They have acquired proofs and/or Advanced Reading Copies from the publisher or from recipients of same from the publisher.

Without spoiling anything, how is NOS4A2 compared to Hill's other work or King's work for that matter? I'm still debating whether or not the LE is worth it or if I'm better off just reading the trade.

I was just the opposite. Horns was my favorite. If you dont collect S/L I wouldnt buy it. But $125 is pretty reasonable (compared to King books lately) I love alternate endings and additional materials.

[CyberGhostface]

I'm not a regular collector (only have CD's IT book) but I'm tempted because of the additional novella/ending.

If you liked HSB i think you will be happy with this one. I know this is my favorite hill novel to date. finished it last night. the end was good but the journey was even better. I laughed to the many similar feelings i have felt or had in my own life that were spot on and there is some nice nasty stuff in there too.
This would make a really creepy movie i think. I think he is just getting better with time.
I can only imagine what kind of stuff he would be writing if he was on drugs . Im certainly not condoning drugs but i am curious. maybe its a good thing we may never know:)

OK. That's the regular Galley/ARE. LOTS of them floating around. I couldn't imagine that they printed another edition of the "Uncorrected Proof" because they REALLY hate distributing them and usually only do so at the author's request for small venues. Hence why there are less than 50.

They screwed up the cover art for the UK version. You'd think the British could get their own cars correct.

Actually i like that cover
It's nice except the car is missing the hood ornament.

NOS4R2???
Are they thinking of R2D2, C3PO?
It's pronounced nosferatu, not nosforRtu

[Bev Vincent]

This is cool, though. Listen to the pronunciation here: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=nosferatu
Put your pointer over the word on the list to hear it again. I can see where the "r" comes from.

Joe Hill has consistently stated that overseas it will be called NOS4R2

Has he stated that the Rolls Royce will not have the hood ornament? Not a spoiler, but it is mentioned in both versions of the US ARE I have.

How do I get a copy of one of those?
This seems to be one of those tweet twitter twatter things (which I dont do) and Im not getting any links. Is it just a picture with no article?

Yes, just a pic posted via twitter.

No word yet on what they are planning to do with those literary treasures, or the amount signed.

Thanks Karl - please do let us know if you get more info.

Not that I'm aware of.

[sgc1999]

[sgc1999]

The answer is typically "A Lot". Since he's still up and coming in the literary world, and not yet a household name like other member's of his family (cough, his dad, cough), they tend to send one to every critic, book blogger, and periodical that exists.

I doubt this number includes the uncorrected proof, more likely just the normal ARE, but there are 2,393 copies in print.

I'm seeing if I can find a print run of the uncorrected proof, but since it has no ISBN, it's hard to find.

[sgc1999]

very cool thanks:)
I suppose it would be looking a gift horse in the mouth to ask about the UK proof? :lovely:

[jhanic]

My latest:

Second state NOS4A2 proof:

[Patrick]

Congrats, John.


So, at "2,393 copies in print," do you all think we can assume the second state proof/ARE will be cheap and plentiful, especially after the trade edition is released?

[TwistedNadine]

John - I thought you already got both the first and second states some time ago?
Either way Congrats

[jhanic]

No, I just had the first (uncorrected manuscript proof). I'm thinking of getting a UK proof also--mainly because I really like that cover.

John

[TwistedNadine]

Yep - I like the UK cover better even if the book name is different
Im surprised the recent one on ebay didnt end up going for more. Thats the only one Ive seen for sale

[sgc1999]

It was slightly damaged. I contacted the seller and he happen to have a mint copy he sold me for 70 gbp . Thats what i needed the money for the other night, thus the impromptu sale. He was gonna sell it to another person. So if all goes well with the shipping from UK i will just need to acquire one of the 2nd US proofs.
