So does anyone know who are the first four individuals that acquired Roman Numeral Edition I - IV? Camelot does not have the info. Does anyone know their actual whereabouts?

Camelot received one of the first 4, in the "wait is over" newsletter it stated

[The_Antiquarian]

I thought the statements by Bill and news from Camelot state that the first four numerals went to folks who will never dispose of their copies until their “death (something like that), which all happened prior to Camelot getting ahold of six books. Then roman numeral V - VIII were sold to collectors, with the remaining IX and X held by Camelot as their retirement fund/the vault. To sum it up, we know exactly who holds V - X, but we have no info on who holds the first four.

Am I correct?

Correction: An individual by the name of Matt F* holds copy IX so I guess Camelot holds two of the leftovers from six. V, VIII, and IX are taken by collectors (can’t tell which other one got purchased).

I can say with certainty IX is in my hands not Camelot not sure what numbers they kept. Direct from Camelot newsletter:
The Wait Is Over!
Here Are the Details
You Have All Been Waiting For!

Our initial announcement called this a "previously unknown" state of this book. We forgot some people on the internet take things too literally. Common sense would tell you that if it exists, someone has to know about it, it had to be made and handled by someone, in fact we've know about it since it was produced as we were lucky enough to be one of the four copies originally distributed.

Thanks Arnold

Thanks Bill, that would be because you had me send it to UK back from in 2017. On 12/9/2017 I received an email saying received many thanks?

[Lot guy]

Sorry Bill, I missed the JK part at the end, ha.

The leather on the book is BLACK Leather...

Were different colors made? They looked blue in this post:

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=1#post1150476

...which seemed to be confirmed in this one:

It looks blue in the photos, but it's actually black, isn't it?

Quite striking, bold, simple design.

No, It's very Blue. Alec and I agreed on "Cornflower Blue'

Just curious.

[Lot guy]

The case is a cornflower blue, book is black leather

The endpapers are clad in this unusually colored material:



... designed by the artist Yanni (aka Laurel).

So what you're saying is the endpapers are white with gold trim?

No, blue with black trim

I almost never run "sales" because in my mind collectibles only go up in value.

With that, I'm done with what I consider to be the stale Subterranean Press and almost all my Subterranean Press listings are marked down 20%, can be had off ebay for even less. There's some interesting titles.

Just click here: Subterranean Listings

Includes Ready Player One Lettered (it's Bill's copy), NOS4A2 Lettered, Red Rising Series Limited & Lettered with rights, Thumbprint lettered, Complete Borne Lettered, Interworld Trilogy Lettered, Iron Druid Limited & Lettered with rights and some other interesting titles.

I'm going to clear them off my shelves to invest in others likes Suntup that put thought into making each edition unique.

[NiceM]

Was hoping you’d list the books of Bavel lettered😁

Sorry don't have them...I've got it almost all listed. I've already done a couple of sales and they can tell you I have offered good deals. Feel free to make an offer or ask. I frankly just want this stuff gone.

[NiceM]

Thanks for the offer sir, but Ill sit this one out Im afraid. Saving up for now. I havent read the books yet but fell in love with Tommy Arnold covers. Didnt see the trilogy in your listing from that link so thats why I wondered if someone already snapped them up. Or is that 4295 listing also yours? Different seller name though.
