I am so glad you got it Pam! :rock:

Best part of this whole thing is people getting some books they really want.

I was going to establish a thread for pics if people want to post them or simply to let us know they got it, do you mind if I throw this post over there?

[turtlex]

Not at all, go for it!

When I get my digital camera out - I'll post there!

[Matt]

[Matt]

WOOT!!

So glad they arrived safely and you love them Pam. :couple:

[Brice]

Those are awesome Pam! :D


...and not having seen your bookcases/collection before I have to ask: are you trying to corner the market on HC copies of The Long Road Home. :lol:

[turtlex]

It's those b*stards at Marvel, I tell ya!!! Limited Edition Covers from every bookstore in the country.... !!!!

[Brice]

Are there that many covers? :unsure:

[turtlex]

The Long Road Home Hardcover had 4 covers total.

Regular
Amazon Exclusive
Borders Exclusive
Barnes and Noble Exclusive

( okay, so maybe I got two of each :blush: it's still a lot of covers! )

John grabbed cool thumbnails of each here - http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showpost.php?p=268721&postcount=77 and you can check the King Comic Catalog for close-ups ( shameless plug )

There's also a couple of Gunslinger Born in there someplace!

[Brice]

Oh, I knew there were a few of them (though I haven't bought any yet). So if every bookstore did get their own cover you'd be in trouble, huh?

[turtlex]

<--- Sucker for the words "variant" and "exclusive" :D

[Brice]

Anyhow, you've got some nice books. You should start a collection thread sometime. :)

[turtlex]

Thanks, Brice :couple: Mayhap I will do just that !

[Brice]

:huglove:


...and soon I'll have new stuff to post both here and in my collection thread. :dance:

[turtlex]

Awesome stuff! And W00T!!! I saw Pam's reflection in the first book cover :rock:

Um, hunh? Of which do you refer? Cause... no sah.
