Under The Dome paperback was released in the UK with multiple covers featuring characters from the book on the front cover. One of the covers was a limited edition of ?100 copies. Does anybody have a picture of this cover. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Steve (ur2nd) probably still has headaches from trying to find a complete and unblemished set of those paperbacks including the 1/100 cover. If I recall correctly he literally ordered dozens of copies and he kept getting versions he didn't need or they were damaged (or both).
I have found a UK 1st PB that says Exclusive Limited Edition Cover printed at the top of the cover and the character on the front is a boy with a red tee-shirt with a white collar leaning against a car. I was wondering if this was the 1/100 cover?
Here is the set still in shrinkwrap. I think the limited edition one is on the left.Originally Posted by jonp
Thanks Bob. It looks like the same book
I thought it was only the shrinkwraped set that was done in a limitation of 100? They sold that variant seperately as well.
From Lilja...
Tesco.com who are selling the fifth cover are also offering the opportunity to purchase all 5 covers in one shrink wrap set. This comes with 5 postcards (based on the 5 covers) in an envelope. There are only 100 of these sets, so they are also considered a limited edition.

Yes, looks like you got it Jon. Congrats. And I love that whole shrinkwrapped set. Been after it for a long time...
Ah! Thanks Simon. I just though someone opened up the set. I remember being on Tesco's website the day of release hovering over the buy button for the set and then deciding not to buy them. Idiot!
I also have an unopened set.

Those are really neat. Thanks for sharing!
It's tough being a completist, eh Bob?

It took a long time to sell out. They reduced the price by 1/3rd and it still took nearly a year to sell out. I remember directing a member on here (Simon) to the site when it was reduced in price.
Thanks Alan, I'm really surprised by the length of time it took to sell out. I assume most Tesco customers wouldn't want a pack of 5 almost identical books.It took a long time to sell out.

Was that me?

No, my memory is getting worse. I found the message, and it was Barry (shnnrc01). They were selling it at £27.97 reduced from £39.95.Was that me?

I was going to buy all 100 of them, destroy 99 of the suckers and then put the only copy left on Ebay with a Buy It Now of $1000. But it just seemed like too much trouble.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Good one Steve.... but hey, if anyone has a set for sale, I'm interested.
Hi team, hoping someone will be able to give me a little info please. I picked up a collection of Phantasmagoria magazines, and don't really know much about them (rarity, popularity etc). What I have is the following:
- Four "comic book" style editions (Numbers 4, 5, 6, & 7). Number 4, 6 & 7 are signed by George.
- Two "newspaper" style editions (Numbers 9 and 11). Both signed.
- Two different editions of The Final Chapter, a paperback edition and a leather bound hard back edition. Both signed.
- A reprint of numbers 1 to 3, that have the following signed page with them:
Is this stuff hard to collect? What am I missing? (numbers 8 and 10 I guess, but others?)
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you!
James
Some useful info right here James

Fantastic! Thank you.
So looks like I am just missing 8&10 for a set, and issues 1-3 of the original copies. More to add to my wish list.
Thanks again!
I bought a full set off ebay (all originals) for £26 and sold them to a member on here (Brice) for £32. So they are easy to get.
Hey guys, How much of a minor shelf wear (scratches, tiny gouge, etc) would you accept on a glossy slipcover (encasing the book and dustjacket, of course) coming from a pubilisher, particularly if it isn't a completely brand new title? Let's say that these are artist editions. Am I being unrealistic that they should be flawless?

Unless it was advertised as a Nick & Dent (and priced as such), then no, I don't think you are being unrealistic at all..
Does the CD gift edition of From A Buick 8 fit in the traycase for the S/L?
