I picked this up on eBay for well under cover price. Not pristine by any means, but a fun little item.

It's a flipback edition of the book. The entire text is included, and the book itself is only about the size of a smartphone. The pages are super thin, like a Bible. Onion skin? Whatever it's called.
It may not be very practical - I doubt I'll ever read it - but it's a fun variant on the usual.
Size relative to a standard paperback, chosen at random:

Thanks for the info.... just ordered one from amazon.
You were supposed to take them to the beach and pretend to read them while you looked at girls.
That's cool... I wonder if it's only a format done for Misery...
It wasnt done just for Misery, but that's the only King title done in that format.
I am not sure how many titles by misc authors were done before they decided to discard that format
edit : amazon.co.uk lists 31 titles from 2011-2014

Thanks for the comments and info, everyone. As needfulthings said, you can still order them new from Amazon UK, and there are usually a few up on eBay. So it's not a rarity, but it's a fun collectible.
I'm actually really happy with the condition mine is in. It's used, and I definitely wouldn't rate it "as new", but it's a solid "VG", maybe even "VG+". Frankly, it's in better condition than some new books arrive via post.
My inability to sleep is making me desperate.

I did not like that book for some reason, but I do like the limited editions of it. I still covet the lettered edition.
Don't care for the story either but nice add all the same, Jack!
I don't care much for the story, either, but it's a nice edition, and I like the illustrations. They don't come up as often as I'd expect either, given the largish print run.

Great additions.. You been busy, man!
