"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
Sorry, Simon! Looks like we ended up jacking your thread anyway That is a badass cover though. Agree to disagree, Paul? . Thanks, John for pointing me towards your thread btw.
