Quote:I’d be happy to. I’ve got four I was returning for sure, and two holding for a couple members until they know if they can get a copy locally or not. So possibly six total if those two members find a copy.
If you see this, Brian at CD, and are interested in doing what Bill suggested, shoot me a PM. I bought them each for $26. Hell, I bet the other Half Price Books here has more, too. 05-24-2018 02:47 PMRandall FlaggI hate to disagree with people, but there is NO WAY they printed 1 million books on the 1st printing. True figures are somewhat of a closely held secret to the publisher, but simply no.
The HUGELY anticipated 1st run of "IT" was purportedly 860,000. 05-24-2018 02:55 PMamd013Quote:Well maybe not Indiana Jones, but they do have "top men" working on it right now!

Kim verified my order from them is a 1st/1st. 05-26-2018 06:59 AMredsoxfan565Anybody have a print run for this first printing? Costco, Target, Walmart and Amazon seem to have first printings. Some Barnes and Nobles I've been in are already at 3rd printings. Completely all over the place. 05-26-2018 07:00 AMBr!anI found firsts at Walmart.
I definitely need to put this in a Brodart cover immediately. 05-26-2018 07:01 AMFather CodyNot sure if this is what you’re asking but here’s the number line on the first printing...
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...17dd1a2a9f.jpg 05-26-2018 07:03 AMredsoxfan565Yea I was referring to if anybody knew how many The Publisher printed in the first printing. 05-26-2018 07:07 AMFather CodyI was wondering the same thing and learned that’s not information the publisher shares publicly. Scroll up a little in this thread and you’ll see the discussion. 05-26-2018 07:44 AMdnemecMy boyfriend found me a first printing at BJ's (which is like Costco & Sam's). He didn't even need to call and ask how to identify it. I have trained him well. ;) 05-26-2018 07:49 AMFather CodyHaha my wife got a taste of it with this release. There was a little bit of eye rolling but she knows what a number line is now and how there needs to be a 1 somewhere in it. :lol: 05-26-2018 07:57 AMzelig 05-26-2018 08:41 AMstroppygoblinWent to pick up 4 pre-ordered WH Smith copies from my local store yesterday. 1 had a torn cover and 2 had very creased dj's. The woman serving me looked like i was a madman when I refused to take them. Simply couldn't understand how "such a little thing" would prevent me from buying a book....
Managed to find alternative copies in another store in a town nearby. Even then I struggled to find good copies amongst the piles of books. The other store's assistant (who was a little more understanding) said "Yeah, we get them shipped to us in plastic skips, no packaging at all really..." :eek: 05-26-2018 10:30 AMRickyMy B&N only had about two dozen copies, some firsts, some seconds. Out of the firsts, none were really "collection copy worthy." Gonna try eBay unless anyone here managed to pick up an extra F/F copy they're willing to sell. 05-26-2018 10:46 AMRandall FlaggThe book (DJ) by it's very nature is prone to slight marring. Just being packaged and unpackaged can and will result in a slight rubbing mark(s), particularly on the rear of the DJ, as the front of the DJ rubs on the back of the book on top of it in the box, or stacked on the shelf. I don't think it's much to fret about as it will be years, if ever that the book is worth a significant amount. 05-26-2018 11:46 AMur2ndbiggestfan 05-26-2018 12:28 PMTommyI'm told my B&N has firsts (I don't know when I will get a chance to go look) but they put those damn discount stickers on the cover. They usually damage the jackets depending upon the material. Anyone know if they peel off this material easily or does it get messed up in the process? 05-26-2018 12:32 PMRandall Flagg 05-26-2018 12:32 PMRichardX 05-26-2018 12:33 PMur2ndbiggestfanMine from Meijer left a sticky residue but I got most of it off by gently dabbing it with a piece of scotch tape. 05-26-2018 12:36 PMTommy 05-26-2018 12:40 PMRandall FlaggThe Collecting tutorials section is your friend:
HOW TO: Remove Stickers from Books 05-26-2018 01:20 PMrichardsrarebooksStickers will come off using lighter fluid. Doesn't leave any stains either. 05-26-2018 01:21 PMRickySam's Club didn't have ANY copies...OR Wal-mart. What gives?
