    Default The Wind Through the Keyhole UK 1/200: Who owns them?

    WELCOME TO THE CLUB

    Since last update, three new numbers have been added to the owners’ list. Fellow TDT member, BigCoffinHunter added #194 which was purchased at Waterstones. Ebay buyer thecardden opened his sealed book and added #124 to the list. The third new number was the elusive #19, which belongs to a The Collector Forum member from Waddington, Lincoln, UK by the name of thegwar. These additions place the total book count now at 122. The owner of #6, which you can see the limitation page at The Collector website, is still a mystery.

    Sorry becca69....

    Will give the details first, found out when I had another look at my number 161 that there was a cut to one of the pages, contacted Hodder who after some amazing help from somethere there they managed to swap it for me, as we know they are sold out everywhere, so Hodder contacted Stephen King's editor who agreed to let me have his copy which is number 4/200, this has just arrived now, I will put pics up at some point once im home from work if anyone wants to see. So can I be added to the list for number 4 also, and that number 161 has been sent back to Hodder.

    Will give the details first, found out when I had another look at my number 161 that there was a cut to one of the pages, contacted Hodder who after some amazing help from somethere there they managed to swap it for me, as we know they are sold out everywhere, so Hodder contacted Stephen King's editor who agreed to let me have his copy which is number 4/200, this has just arrived now, I will put pics up at some point once im home from work if anyone wants to see. So can I be added to the list for number 4 also, and that number 161 has been sent back to Hodder.
    Just a bit of evidence to support my theory that 1-10 were "cherry picked".

    Yeah, I'd agree that it's unlikely that if they were ALL randomly distributed King's people probably wouldn't be likely to end up with low numbers.

    Hi, I've been thinking about my uk TWTTK, and whereas I quite like it, it isn't one I'm too precious of keeping, happy for it on my shelf it's nice enough, butwould like to trade for a us signed limited from a Buick 8

    Not sure is its comparable, but the last couple on the collector site states Buick sold at 400.

    Mines 158. If anyone fancies a trade let me know, I'm uk based by the way.

    Cheers, Dave

    Interestingly when I was offered the replacement I was told that they thought it was number 4 but that it was def a low number 1-10, then when I got it today and opened it I found it was number 4. So I presume they must hold the low numbers back for individual people

    It was sealed exactly the same as the other copies, and I was told that it would be number 4 by Hodder

    Knowing the number is easy-the first 10 that are numbered (obviously 1-10) are set aside with a post it on the book noting the number.
