$500 easy.

I dunno....is it going to be a paperback?

Based on the price...I think they are taking the trade edition and thwoing it in a traycase.

[frik]

No, these will be hardcover editons!

Just got my email confirmation for the S/L!!!

[Dan]

By the way. When typing NSFS into your search engine of choice, be sure of what results show up. I got an eye full while sitting at my desk at work.

[Dan]

I too just got my confirmation email. Is anyone ordering the $40 hardcover when the signed version is so inexpensive?

[Brian James Freeman]

What was lost in the buying spree (at least to me) is that this will be released on 11 June - 2013. That is less than a month away - when was the last time you pre-ordered a SK s/l or lettered book and received it in 4 weeks????

Um. Never?

I think the closest for a Limited Edition would be our edition of Full Dark, No Stars, unless I'm forgetting something: announced on 10/19/2010 and shipped on 12/15/2010, a little less than two months. The Lettered Edition, as always, took longer.

Was able to pick up 2 signed limiteds

[bdwyer19]

The description of the S/L never mentioned anything about a slipcase. So, would CD be making one, maybe? Brian???

[mattgreenbean]

Whew, got a S/L confirmation!

Tippy makes a good point. Based on an earlier comment that the unsigned edition is the "same" as the numbered edition, that would lead one to believe that the only difference between the two is the signature. It may be the same for the lettered edition, with the only difference between it and the numbered edition being the traycase. As far as I can tell, the website does not list any other differences between the two. Any thoughts?

Also, I wonder if Cemetery Dance and/or others will be designing a slipcase for the numbered edition (and possibly the unsigned edition as well), as it appears that it will not come with one...

Got my confirmation!!

It looks like that's the only difference. It's a trade hardcover with a tipped-in signed and numbered page. Still... for $75, well worth it!!

[biomieg]

I agree.

If Brian hadn't spoken up for these guys, I'd say all of this was too good to be true and that we'd all been had. Here's hoping that the S/L has something a little extra special about it (besides the signature), even if it is just a slipcase or ribbon marker .... something to distinguish it from the trade.

Hey Brian, your surprise better be good tomorrow ... or these guys may have stolen your spotlight.

For $75, I'm more than happy with just a tipped in sig page.

[Randall Flagg]

I think we broke the USA sales info first, thanks to the incredibly brilliant work by Chad (cit74).
Thanks to biomieg (Michael) for breaking the UK news here.
Just another reason to check this site as often as possible.

• Hot deals show up from constant checking of ebay.
• Quick links help our members with buying a lettered or S/L.
• Brilliant tech works shows the "back door' to a crashed order site.

On and on.




I'll merge this with the Joyland S/L thread in a while.

[The Library Policeman]

Well said! I'm so glad I check here every day.

Kudos to Michael/Biomeg as well for posting the UK link this morning. Got my order in as soon as I saw his link.

The best I can recall is SIX STORIES in 1997. We sent our checks to Philtrum Press for $80 (plus postage) and got the books a couple of weeks later. Now THAT is how is should be!

I think it's a great deal.

Agreed, fantastic help today!

Very much so.

[Brian James Freeman]

We've been getting A LOT of emails about a slipcase for this edition. It's something I will definitely check on.
