Joyland-Collecting Discussion

[Brian James Freeman]

Any chance will CD make custom slipcases for the S/L of Joyland? This is my very first S/L. Would be very nice to see a slipcase for it.

I can confirm that we will not be producing a slipcase for this title. There may be one in the works from someone else, though.

I just checked. Haven't heard anything and haven't been charged as yet. Order is still showing as "processing" on the Forbidden Planet site.

Mine shows the same.

[jhanic]

I've not been charged yet. I don't know where to look on the website for my account.

I just got off the phone with NSFS. They said Joyland will ship on June 21st.

Hi John, here's the FP login site:

Mine still says processing, too.

Yes I just got told the same thing on the phone, the S/L are shipping around the 21st, the non-signed state are shipping today...this is for the NSFS copy...

The rep wasn't sure if the Media Mail shipping would be with tracking, can anyone else comment on that?

Thanks for the answers, don't know regarding the tracking, but I'll stop checking my emails every 10 mins now! Cheers again.

That explains the shipping charge for each edition, they aren't shipping together.

If you have the limited edition coming Media Mail can you please let me know if you get a tracking number!?

Thanks.

[subie09lega]

I requested FedEx ground shipping for mine. I never know what to pick when I don't know where they're coming from.

I picked whichever of the two shipping methods was faster and more expensive. The book was so cheap for an S/L that I figured it was worth spending the extra few bucks on shipping.

[subie09lega]

I just hope it arrives in good condition.

Remember the UK Under The Dome fiasco? Bumped corners galore!

Another illustration from the limited:



Pretty cool.

I am trying to be the optimist,dammit.


Oh. Love that illustration.

I like the artwork, but think it isn't correct to the story, and the period (1973).

Spoiler:

The "girls" who took the pictures did not IMO carry a purse while working, the hairstyle is wrong, the shoes with thin ankle straps, and the hemline and cut of the dress bottom are wrong; minor things, and just one ding-dongs opinion.

[carlosdetweiller]

I think the artwork is pretty marginal (and I'm trying to be kind).

[subie09lega]

I like the chick on the trade paperback cover better, more what I imagined (and hotter).

[Dan]

I'm glad others agree with me. I also don't feel that it is correct to the story. At first I thought it was "the boy's mother" but since she is holding a camera and wearing that dress I don't think it is. I like the trade cover girl better. Tis one doesn't seem finished, like maybe they started and this is the preliminary.

[The Library Policeman]

Still would though.

[Randall Flagg]

Not really a spoiler. The girl on the cover is one of several park employees that take pictures of guests, and just like in modern times, a person can then go to a kiosk and buy the developed picture.
The "girls" were dressed a specific way. This image (IMO) strays from the actual description in the book.

[jhanic]

I agree. The illustration just isn't right.
