Waterstones have it cheaper (£16.00 inc Free Delivery to UK):
and WH Smith even cheaper still! (£13.60 - but only Free Delivery on orders over £15.00)
Neither have mention of a Limited edition yet (I would expect a WH Smith one with purple lightning! )
"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
Book Depository has it for $30.67 with free shipping to the US - not sure if that comes out cheaper or not - http://www.bookdepository.com/Reviva.../9781444789171
I fully expect Amazon to discount it before it ships, just as they have for all the other recent King titles.

I nailed the timing, but missed on saying he would stay on the east time zone. He's coming as far east as Austin, Texas.
Definetly going to KS & home state ME, thanks for posting Bev!
No love for Boston this time around. Depending on the details, I might try to make a trip up to Portland, ME.
Might try and go to NYC, but DEFINITELY keeping an eye out for DC details.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Kansas City is best for me.
I would go to NYC if it was a week earlier (Jimmy Page is signing his new book 11/5)
Are these signing events?

King in DC!
it's early days and a long shot, but if anyone I helped with getting the UK limiteds would be able to return the favour and be able to pick up an extra signed Revival, I would be very grateful

OK... so I'm atheist.... but my prayers have been answered anyways... STEPHEN KING is coming to Austin, Texas (for a Revival tour)... Unbelievable!
So, since I have never had the opportunity to attend one of these - from you lucky pros that have, what is the best way to get tickets and what can I expect?
Stay tuned to the official website -- that's where you'll get all the info first.

My only issue is that my girlfriend is going to Germany on early days of November, so I might have to change and could only attend the one in Portland. I'd love to attend the ones in Kansas City, Wichita and Austin, but it'd be too expensive since I'm going there alone.
Well...until there are more details I won't decide anything.

question... I'm guessing there will be signed copies of revival.... for those that have been to these events, is it possible to get one or two other items signed?
I'd really really like to get him to sign my copy of The Drum.
I wasn't lucky enough when I attended the events, but the best would be to do some prior intelligence and check where he might stay and/or exit the place.

The venue might want you to only get Revival, that you purchase there, signed. King doesn't seem to care.
At the Sarasota signing they said only one signature, no inscriptions and only Mr. Mercedes could be signed. King kept to the one signature and no inscription (He did write "For Brian" in mine) but signed whatever you put before him.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I would be happy to do that for you if I end up attending one of the events. If I do, it will be the Austin one as it's closest (but still pretty far) to where I live. And I don't know how it works with signing 2 copies since I've never been to a signing but I can certainly try my best for you.
Oh my goodness!! I'm fairly close to Wichita. I am going for sure!!
