My guess would be that only the UK limited rights were bought -- and apparently with very tight controls -- which suggests to me that the US limited rights reside with someone else. I can't conceive why else they would take such stringent measures to keep the UK and US markets separate. It would not surprise me at all to hear an announcement of a US limited relatively soon. Yet another reason I've no interest in this edition.Originally Posted by jsteltor
#1 Rule - Don't ask such things. They may not (and still may not) care about the origin of payment. They are only embargoed from shipping to the USA and Canada (that's the price Canada citizens pay for the USA defending them at no cost). Leave well enough alone.
Would you really want to get a book signed that contains a facsimile signature?Lol from Canada!#1 Rule - Don't ask such things. They may not (and still may not) care about the origin of payment.

Years ago at a U.S. Bag Of Bones signing King agreed to sign a Bag Of Bones U.K. proof because it WAS the book he was signing.
Spoiler:
waaaah
if anyone in the UK gets multiple copies... I'd be interested in taking a copy off your hands.
Wait until February and get a copy for £25 to £45, instead of the issue price of £100 direct from the publisher.
Every one of these H&S Facsimile copies sells for less than 1/3rd of issued price. I have never paid more than £45 for these editions. (I was robbed at £45).
They are poor quality productions. They are exactly the same paper quality, (shit), and you don't even get a dust jacket!
Thought I'd post this here...
Now I'm not going to get anybody too excited about it's contents, it does not contain anything Revival related. It's been kindly sent to me for auction in next years HF by someone who works for H & S and is a previous H & S King collectible. What IS interesting is that they have created these mailing packets specifically - I wonder what is being sent out in these???
"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
It's kind of a call to get it stolen, isn't it?

I would like one of these because they are made better than the ones we will be getting here in the USA.
I would love for that to show up on my doorstep
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
As of right now, we only get a trade in the USA. This seems like it will be nicer than a trade 1st.
I know RF. I know you know when you open the trades the binding wants to come apart. You would think they could do something about that. Hopefully I will be getting one I always get three of the trades just because they are 1st editions.
[QUOTE=Roseannebarr;879183]Are they going to put the pick in the middle of the slipcase or is that just a picture? It would be kind of nice to do that and not place it inside if the book or slipcase.Ok folks, I think this is an exclusive for this site!
Hodder & Stoughton are releasing a limited edition version of Revival in the UK!
This edition will be limited to 500 copies only, details as follows:
Limited edition hardback with deluxe binding, slipcase, illustrated endpapers, author’s FACSIMILE signature and a silver plectrum engraved with the author’s signature.
Price is £100 (plus shipping) which is a little steep for a facsimile signature, but it may be the only limited version of this book to be printed.
Here are some images:
H & S have put the site up for ordering this, but as yet it has not been advertised anywhere, not even their own web site mentions this yet.
Please be aware, H & S state that they cannot ship this to the US or Canada, so you are going to need to ship to a UK address.
Here is the exclusive link to the site.
So you spend £100 on a book and they send it in a padded envelope? Bumped corners guaranteed!
In case I wasn't clear, these are not bags to ship the books, for one thing they are too small (4" x 4" approx)

They always use well packed boxes to ship there books.
My guess is that the pick will be held in place with a magnet.
I think the H&S Revival bags are being sent out to promote the book.
That's good to hear. I wonder in the plecturm is real silver or just silver coloured?In case I wasn't clear, these are not bags to ship the books, for one thing they are too small (4" x 4" approx)
I would be shocked if they included a plectrum made of solid silver. You'd think they would have said something about it on the web page if it was.That's good to hear.

Thanks much,

I would also don't believe the plectrum is sterling... it looks as if it's just a silver color. I got lucky and a friend in the UK was able to secure one for me like he did with TWTTK.

At least it would go some way toward justifying the £100 price tag.
I have made enquiries with H & S about this, will update when I get a response.I would be shocked if they included a plectrum made of solid silver.

They are plastic. You can buy "silver" plectrums with anything you want printed on them.
Ok Folks - another TDT.org exclusive!!
Contrary to other opinions stated here, I can now confirm (direct from the publisher) that the plectrum is in fact 100% Solid Sterling Silver (it's even hallmarked!).
Now that's a collectible! £100 doesn't seem so bad now eh?

I wonder what the plectrum weighs? Silver is only going at a little over $17 per ounce. It can't weigh over .25 ounces or so, can it?
