The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Yeah, I just read that this was apparently the start of a trilogy...I'd no idea. I need to hurry up and get my copy and get reading it...at this rate and knowing King's prolific nature, I'll still have #1 unread by the time #2 comes out!
Are you like the last "Perk" to have read it? LOL I read it all the way through the day it arrived.

This just arrived today. I don't really want to take it out of the shrinkwrap just yet, so I can't check what # it is.
Cool, the Dutch one
Shrinkwraps are worthless IMO. Only problem is that the sticker is also gone then...
Yeah, I know there's some varying opinions out there about shrinkwraps. You're right about the sticker. It's on the wrapping, so I'm even more reluctant to remove it because of that. Maybe I will at some point...Cool, the Dutch one

I've removed the sticker from the shrinkwrap and but it on the dustjacket protector. So, what number is it?
Don't know the number because I haven't taken off the shrinkwrap...
Probably. I read and collect a large number of authors, so often King just has to wait his turn in the rotation (though I do, of course, often bump him to the top...though not this time, for whatever reason). I am looking forward to it, though.Are you like the last "Perk" to have read it? LOL I read it all the way through the day it arrived.
Thanks for picking one up for me James. That's a great price.
Buy a small case and take it as hand luggage. You'll fit heaps of books in and they don't weigh it

That's cool. When you do get around to it you'll understand my dumb ass joke!! LOLProbably.

All, Just to let you know that all my UK copies have been spoken for. I have checked locally and am unable to get anymore.
Everyone who requested one from me originally should have had a note regarding shipping, I am intending to get them out to the post office tomorrow. Those who requested after the initial post, I'm sorry I couldn't accommodate you.
P.S After packing up 20 books, I appreciate the hard work David at Betts puts in every day!
"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
I would like to thank stroppygoblin for taking the time to do this for everyone who asked for one. I think he did a great job getting the one he got.
Thank you.
I have also noticed that the US edition is a little thicker than the UK edition.
What about the page number?
I wouldnt be surprised if it was related to the paper used.
