I really respect all the people who are legit fans of Joe's work - and I really liked his short stories.

But I feel like his novels have gone right to his father's worst excesses but without the...

Sorry, not a very good camera, but I think you get the idea.
Are we in a competition here?
If it will make you feel better I'll admit that yours is bigger than mine.[/QUOTE]

I think your pix...

Halfway through NOS4A2....meh....I was hoping for supernatural with a taste of serial killer...I got serial killer with a taste of supernatural. It's well-written, but much too long. It doesn't have...

The rumor is that it's $3500 to include a title in Vine - so I assume it's books with a big ad budget, or books that the publishers believe in and are willigng to spend some $$ to give an extra boost...

so did you get it from that above craig's list seller - or from an old ebay auction?[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing he's getting it via The Vine.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, exactly - I'm a little surprised it was...

Neither - it's an actual real review copy from the publisher. Part of an Amazon advance review...

My ARC is NOS4A2 is on the way! Should have an Amazon review posted within a couple weeks...

There were just two bidders past $150, so it wasn't a real value as much as a bidding war. Classic case of the winner being the loser...haha...

Maybe I will go by...do they have the hardcovers of The Stand and Dark Tower comics?

Chris' Comics in Seabrook probably has your stuff too...

What comic shop was that?

No offense to Joe Hill, but it was never a "great" time for the s/l editions...there was a lot of irrational exuberance for the first few s/l's, and then they kept releasing more and more...they...

Good grief...and that wasn't a buy-it-now auction?

There's no IF about it...the limited publishers saw that they had a golden goose and are trying to get every penny from it that they can. I mean, I can't blame them, but it absolutely is saturating...

Such a good point...I mean, if this were me I wouldn't send it back - because I'm lazy - but you're def. not being picky.

But, exactly right. This isn't Amazon, who ships normal trade books where...

Curt, you should ask if it WOULD be a good deal....as opposed to asking after you've spent the money...haha...

Keep it...this is the exact same issue Bob went through with his Waterstone UtD...and it's nothing but a bunch of aggravating hoops to jump through.

Yes, the book's worth a little less - probably...

Yeah, but you could easily call them and have them mail a copy, right? Be normal postage rates for you...

A signing where you see him is cool, but it's not really life changing...haha...

There was a woman a few people in front of me who had a Peter Straub book that (from what I remember) she told Peter that she was meeting Joe and Peter signed in the book "give my love to Joe Hill"...

He signed mine, "damnably, Joe Hill." Haha...

Somebody in front of me seemed to be trying to get him to take a book he wrote, for Joe to comment on or something? It struck me as a bit awkward...

I agree with the five at a time before giving the people behind you a chance...BUT...

He will be happy you're buying a lot of books...so I think unless there are specfic limits advertised in...
