I don't think it'll be signed by Stephen King. And I also don't think there will be an stampede for this item. I went to the SDCC in 2012 and the attendance is more focused on TV shows than comic books. And for book the public is even less. Of course the 150 will disappear but I don't think the demand inside the con will be as high as if it'd be put for sale at scribner.com.

I think it could be signed ONLY cause there is the pic of King holding one... I do agree on your thoughts Ari on the writer though. Good picOriginally Posted by Ari_Racing

Do you think they'll do a trade edition at some point? What do you think something like this is going to command on eBay? I would think it would fetch a fairly high price...
King's office reported receiving the item yesterdayy and probably just a couple of copies. SDCC starts today. I really don't think King will sign it...
As for a trade edition, I don't know. I'd say no, but I'd hope yes.

It probably doesn't contain any (new) writing by King, so not worth very much if that's the case.
Well...if it includes the writing present in DT3, it was written by King, even when it's quoted.

According to Ms Mod -- in response to this comment:
No & NoKing is the author since it's basically the story he told in The Waste Lands, this time just illustrated and presented as its own book.
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.
Ms Mod also posted this: "Just got my copy (one of the perks of the job). There's an actual story and gorgeous illustrations by Ned Dameron who was the artist for The Waste Lands."
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
As mentioned it's probably lifted directly from The Wastelands:
Bob Brooks was an engineer for the Mid-World Railway Company, on the St. Louis to Topeka run. Engineer Bob was the best trainman The Mid-World Railway Company ever had, and Charlie was the best train!
Charlie was a 402 Big Boy Steam Locomotive, and Engineer Bob was the only man who had ever been allowed to sit in his peak-seat and pull the whistle. Everyone knew the WHOOO-OOOO of Charlie's whistle, and whenever they heard it echoing across the flat Kan*sas countryside, they said, "There goes Charlie and Engi*neer Bob, the fastest team between St. Louis and Topeka!"
Boys and girls ran into their yards to watch Charlie and Engineer Bob go by. Engineer Bob would smile and wave. The children would smile and wave back.
Engineer Bob had a special secret. He was the only one who knew. Charlie the Choo-Choo was really, really alive...
According to Ms. Mod -- it is not.

Now it's a MUST HAVE!
<------------------------1st in line for favors.
The only thing that will decrease a little bit its interest is that it's not written by King.

Are you certain?
Not certain but it's what I understood from Bev's post.According to Ms Mod -- in response to this comment:

As usual, I'm confused. Hopefully Bev will clarify things when he can.
The statement someone made was that King was the author and that the book was basically the story he told in DT3, merely illustrated and presented as a book. Ms. Mod said that was NOT the case--to both points.

Sometimes it seems like deposing someone.
If you know, and can at this time say, who wrote, if there is any, the contents of the item?
Yes!!! I have a good friend going and will be doing all he can to secure me a copy. He will sends pics if and when he scores. Not even going to charge me. Do we know the booth number yet???
