    Congrats Alan (my book buying twin)
    "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

    Been after one of these large print editions of Thinner for ages (simply because I like the cover art) and I finally picked one up recently for $5.00.

    Well done Alan, seeing books like this is what I love about looking through yours and some other collection threads. You learn something new. I have never seen that edition of Thinner before in all my years of collecting. Is it a UK edition? What year of printing is it? I presume most went to libraries.
    Also, I never knew about the FDNS US Book Club signed limited of 100 before I looked through your thread a few months ago. I've added it to my wish list, but I've never seen one for sale as they're very rare. Did you get yours on eBay?
    Fanastic collection!!

    Thanks, Jon. The Thinner large print is a US edition published by GK Hall in 1986 and I do believe most copies went to libraries. As for the Full Dark, No Stars signed edition, I totally lucked out. Was browsing ebay one evening and I spotted it for $30 buy-it-now! I think they go for 9 to ten times that amount when they do pop up for sale - which is rarely I think. My copy was mint and still in the publishers shrinkwrap. A true case of right place, right time! I seem to recall I beat Tippy4 to it by a matter of minutes!
    Any way, thanks for the kind words and I hope you manage to track one down.

    Bill, my man

    The only ones I now need are:

    The Tommyknockers (with red lettering)
    Under The Dome (regular trade 1st/1st)
    Just After Sunset (regular trade 1st/1st)
    Full Dark, No Stars (regular trade 1st/1st)

    Any of these would be sweet!

    Thanks Frank. Sorry for the delay - the only cover art details on the book are:

    Design by Scott Price
    Photograph by Barbara Anderson.

    Hope that helps.
