Not sure where to put this as it's not a question but WHSmith is doing yet another exclusive dust jacket variant, this time for The Bazaar Of Bad Dreams. I can't see too much difference from the UK trade 1st cover except it's slightly more purple.

That's good to hear. I actually like those variants. I was wondering if there would be one for Bazaar. Thanks for posting it.
Their design team is so inventive!It"s ALWAYS more purple
I've been checking Waterstones/WHsmith for a couple of weeks and they must have put it up today. Waterstones only list the normal cover but they don't tend to list the variants separately.
Here are the two covers next to each other

I tried to order it, but it appears that they don't ship to the USA.

Can everyone who normally requests a WH Smith variant from me, please PM me with a confirmation for BOBD? I ended up with too many last time, but it makes sense to get them at the £10 price, so will order based on response.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
What is the first collectible ed. of riding the bullet?
It was released as an e-book in 2000, but was the audiobook the first collectible ed. of the story?
After researching the planned edition they are issuing it doesn't seem to make much sense to me. From what I could see there isn't very much distinction between their copy and the regular trade edition, other than the publisher of course. Any thoughts to offer, Simon? I'm leaning towards passing on this with, Alan but I still value your input nonetheless.

Like all previous WH Smith 'purple' editions, it's more of a cover variant than a 'collectors edition' and the nature of the cover for BOBD makes this one more subtle than previous purple make overs. If you have the previous ones or are hell bent on cover variants then the release price of £10 is not a bad deal (half cover price). I appreciate that US members have to add in shipping too, I do what I can to help out on these.

Come on Bill. Don't mess around, you know you want all the variants! If you don't get it you will probably regret it later.
1st Libro & CD ROM ITALY 2000.
Then printed in Japan in hardcover with 3 different covers.(also 2000)
Actually, Alan's generosity aside, it's more an either or thing to me. If, the W.H. is more appealing to me then I go for that instead of the regular trade as my "UK" collectible. In all honesty this one does not seem to be grabbing my attention so I'll likely go with the trade.Come on Bill. Don't mess around, you know you want all the variants! If you don't get it you will probably regret it later.
Simon, congratulations for all your help to forum members on these editions is to be applauded. You're a good man for always doing this for your U.S. Brutha's & Sista's!!!

Thanks needfulthings.
Anyone familiar with RW Books? We've been talking through Ebay and began discussing a possible layaway type of transaction. He says he was one of the primary sellers of King books back in the day so I thought maybe someone here was familiar with him? Looks like hi is currently based out of Virginia.
I don't think I have ever heard of him and I was one of the primary buyers of King books back in the day. Do you know what RW stands for?
I don't, but I've asked and will see what he says. He has excellent feedback on Ebay and I will still have the Paypal protection, but thought I would ask. He was not familiar with this site.
"for many years I was the main dealer in King material. I even had 5 copies of the asbestos firestarter when it came out.I started dealing in King in 1975 when I bought first editions of Carrie directly from Doubleday at about $2.00 each.I also used to buy large quantities of books from Donald Grant."
I wonder if the RW stands for Robert Weinberg...?
I don't think so. Bob is Weinberg Books Inc, in Illinois
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
I would get more info... if none of the good ol boys here know of him. Might need name.
