See but the artwork is in the trade editions. If it wasn't there I would say the limiteds would be worth it for the addition of King sig, some new art and an artist sig but the only difference is a sig and a slipcase... mehOriginally Posted by webstar1000
The first 7 yeah... .other than the artwork is FANTASTIC.
It's not an edition but a "feature": I couldn't care less about marbled endpapers.

Weird, obtuse and nonsisical...Well if we're getting into features, I've never cared for the satin ribbon page markers ONLY because of how they are arranged in the books. The bottom of the ribbons are turned up and tucked in between pages which cause a crease that NEVER goes away. I don't like creases on my satin ribbon page markers. How's that for a first world complaint?
I deleted my comment. Sorry everyone.
The Asbestos lettered Firestarter: ugly, ugly book!

I love this book except for the fact that there aren't any illustrations... WHY???!!!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I think that is why I do not own one. I didn't care for the story and with no added art there is no added value to it for me other than the check and I don't wanna pay ~$900 for a check signed by King in a pen name.I love this book except for the fact that there aren't any illustrations... WHY???!!!
We could all say the same about Firestarter S/L and that value keeps creeping up.I love this book except for the fact that there aren't any illustrations... WHY???!!!

The Secretary of Dreams books. They don't do anything for me.

The absence of water? The absence of anything else we're addicted to.

When I first saw the descriptions of the SoD books, I thought "wow, totally superfluous, definitely not for me, probably only for the completist types."
Then I saw the artwork, and the way it was used; knowing these stories pretty well, I was impressed with how it would all work.
SoD fits the profile of a needless book - but they look awesome and I want them.

I couldn't care less about having any DT S/L's. I have the first's(except Gunslinger which I recently sold because I just didn't care enough about it)and the artist editions and I'm good with them. While I may get thrown to the slaughter for this not one of the DT books are in my Top 10 King novels. I'd much rather get other S/L's and flatsigned novels that don't have S/L's. Still looking for a Misery!
I feel exactly the same way. I like the first edition DT books I have (second edition for DT1), but I've never had any interest in making the massive investment for the S/Ls. Like you, I'm much more motivated to get signed first editions and other S/Ls.
I hate Whispers... nemesis of mine.
