Ahhh...good to know. I'll probable still get to it at some point, as that and Faithful are the only two SK books I haven't read. I have a copy of TCK, but it is my one and only S/L book. So, I will wait for a reader copy.

I agree with Jean, you can't even compare the two. I wasn't a huge fan of The Colorado Kid, but I loved Joyland. Might be one of my favorites. Reminded me of his older writings, plus I just loved the setting.

Although Joyland wasn't really a typical King horror/thriller I loved it and I to would say it's probably one of my favorites!
I felt the story took a while to get going but the second half was superb. King's really been in a roll lately with new classics like Duma Key, Full Dark, No Stars, 11/22/63, and Joyland.
Don't forget "Dr. Sleep". I really enjoyed this book. Not so much for the "True Knot", which I still thought was an innovative adversary, but the continued story of, Danny. I really enjoyed this continuation of the story!!

Joyland Illustrated Edition
I stumbled on this by accident on Amazon. Did we know about this edition? Maybe I missed a discussion on it but it's the first I've heard of it: Joyland Illustrated Edition.
Interesting, it's due to September 8, 2015...
Founder and publisher of Lividian Publications. My other website is BrianJamesFreeman.com. Please always feel free to email me or send me a PM if you have any questions about either!
Description on Amazon.ca says it's the second edition so maybe it's just a reprint by Hardcase?
Yeah, it's interesting... and I saw that Sep release date. I might be a reprint like you say, bu I'm not sure because why would it be called the "Illustrated" edition...I've pre-ordered one anyway... I'm sure some information will trickle in at some point...
The original was also 'illustrated'
"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
Oh, didn't know that.
How do you mean?
The UK hardcover edition had black and white illustrations. I thought they were pretty nice.
Ah ok. Do we have pictures of them here on the site? I'd like to see them.
I'm drawing a blank... or maybe I didn't even know about a UK hardcover edition. Do you have any photos of it?
Me too. I checked the catalog and it isn't there.
There were three editions: trade, S/L (identical to trade + signature page), lettered.
Oh okay, that one. I forgot it was a UK edition.
Pics and info: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=Joyland+-+S+LMe too. I checked the catalog and it isn't there.
So there was an unsigned one? It isn't shown as unsigned on that page from the catalog.
Thank you very much!Pics and info: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=Joyland+-+S+LMe too. I checked the catalog and it isn't there.
