$100 would just fill mine! Stupid price of gas.

My S/L should be at the P.O. tomorrow. I have no idea what number it is (and don't really care). Just looking forward to the book!

The box from CD arrived on Saturday and I opened it up this morning. #561 (if I recall). Very nice presentation! I like it so much, I may read it (even though the story itself is "good but not great" in my opinion). Maybe reading such a nice S/L will bump it up a bit on my list.

Courtesy of Cemetery Dance all 3 Catalog entries now have the full dustjacket shown. Warning-they are 1230 pixels wide!

The new catalog entries look great. How long will it be before CD gives out some pics of the lettered box/ traycase?

So RF's went for $729, and one was bought for a $680 BIN.

I think that's about the going rate....$700+, but less than $800. I'm sort of surprised, but Tippy pointed out before that new collectors don't have that much $$ and most current collectors were probably able to get the book.

[Jimimck]

And then there are dicks like me who wanted one, but thought no, $475 was a bit too much to spend even though I had it there to spend and now I am kicking myself, but won't spend double what I should have paid in the first place and will just have to be happy with his gift edition.

Does anyone pick up on the fact I'm a little annoyed with myself? if not, PM me and I could go on and on.....

Funny, I used to spend more money when I was new to collecting than now.

Sorry you chose to skip your opportunity, but that was funny.

Haha...I'm right there with you....I don't really care that I didn't get it, but I would buy one now. Mostly, I didn't expect it to be published so soon.

I figured it would be tough to double issue price. There were more S/L 11/22/63 books but double $175 (Incl S&h+tx) was/is easier on peoples pocketbooks than double $475.

[Rahfa]

Yeah, the 11/22/63 gets sold for an "affordable" $3-400 or whatever....while 'It' originally sold for that price, so there's really a limited upside to the resale, at least in the shortterm.

Got my S/L today
bug traycase-how big will the lettered be?

Bigger than the From A Buick 8 lettered box and smaller than The Secretary of Dreams lettered box.

My S/L is visiting the UPS sorting facility in Greensboro, N.C since the 23rd!!!!!!

[Ricky]

Have any pictures of the signature page on the S/L surfaced? I'm curious to see what they look like.

Call Greensboro!!!!

My gift edition spent a week there, now it is vacationing in PA, USPS is a joke.

[NeedfulKings]

Mine should be here Thursday! My SK signed collection is very small and this will easily be the cornerstone thus far.

Mine too, or at least a favorite, It was a gift from a very dear friend!!!! You know who you are!!!!

I do have to admit that my S/L "Insomnia" with a "Dolso" wooden case, purchased from Ralph Mulleins, is special to me as well!!! My S/L Black House is my overall favorite. LOVE that book for some reason!!!

[skyofcrack]

I had ordered both the Gift and the Limited Editions of It from CD but sadly had to cancel both due to financial concerns.

Now that I'm seeing the pics, I wish I had robbed a bank to pay for them instead.

That will be lots of fun to open. Congrats man. That is one sweet S/L--possibly one of the best ever, imo.
