I know I'm probably the minority, but I also know I'm not the only one (after all, Dragonbound is not that far away from this idea). Maybe an unsigned lettered edition? Would that be something King won't complain (since he won't have to sign anything)? Would the 26-52 make a major difference in the collectors' point of view in unsigned editions?
Having King's signature in a limited edition is not the driving force behind my collecting habits. For me, it's the book itself. A chance to own (and to enjoy reading) the most deluxe copy available of my most favourite books is what drives my collection.
As an example of this, I recently pre-ordered CD's Artist Lettered edition of
The Stand. The fact that this edition is not signed by King, did not faze me. It's one of my favourite King books of all time, so having the chance to own a super deluxe copy of this with the extra production values attached to it, was a no brainer.
Would I purchase an unsigned Lettered edition of
Misery if ever given the chance to do so? In a heartbeat and without any hesitation!!!
