'Salem's Lot Set Tally

[stroppygoblin]

Due to the ever increasing interest in these sets, I thought I'd do a quick poll to work out how many are in this community. I have kept it private so members are not harassed to sell any extras they may have!

(you can do multiple votes so if like me you have the book, the try case and a partial set of prints, check option 2 and 6.)

EDIT: to clarify as questions have been asked...

This poll is ONLY for the Gift Edition of Salem's Lot published by Centipede Press. Although individually released without any publisher case or additions, a 3 part set is now considered to be the 'unofficial' full collectible version of this volume. The set consists of:

1. The Gift Edition of 'salem's Lot, published by Centipede Press (600 copies)
2. The limited Tray case created and sold by Tomas at StephenKingCollector.com (200 made)
3. The set of 7 photo's that appear in the signed limited version of the book but were made available as a separate artist portfolio and offered for sale by Jerad (@Centipede) at the same time as the gift edition( believed to be <30)
Note the Tray case made allowances for the photos as there are inserts in the inner case to hold them.

I put down GE Book, the Traycase and full set of prints but also partial set of prints as I have three extra prints.

What is a "Tally"?

[webstar1000]

I do not currently hold he the one I had but know where it is and I will hopefully get it back sooooon! So I clicked yes full set so we can have a rough estimate of what is out there. Good idea Simon!

[AKC]

What if your quantity is more than "1" for any the available options? I tried to vote again but was denied.....

[webstar1000]

That should be noted I order to get an accurate account

[stroppygoblin]

Yes, I considered the fact that there would be members who owned multiple full sets, but couldn't think of a way to add that option in easily.
Just comment here if you have multiples (or PM me) and I will announce a final count.

Oh and a 'Tally' is "a current score or amount" a count in other words

[frik]

What is a "Tally"?

A score of what we've got; the total numbers.
(Oops, didn't see your answer, Simon.)

Oh, and I've just got the slipcase.
And by mistake I voted traycase.
Wishfull thinking, I guess??

(Can this be changed??)

Not by me - but i will make a note.

To be clear we are talking about the tray case made by Tomas at SK Collector.
(I'm not sure I have seen a slipcase for the GE?)

[frik]

So sorry - I thought we were talking the original Centipede cases.
But now I understand we're not even discussing the Centipede edition here...

We are talking about the Centipede Gift edition. The slipcase came with the S/L if I'm not mistaken.

[The Library Policeman]

I have the book, traycase and full set of prints and voted as such.

[CurtSeattle]

Full set for me. I think I have extra prints too, but can't locate them at the moment and I just sold my extra book to a member here yesterday. At least 1 full set though for me.

[AKC]

I have an extra book available in the Classifieds Thread for $300.

YES, SHAMELESS PLUG

[becca69]

Yes, I'm confused... is this the Centipede edition? I have an S/L with slipcase. What is the tray case?

[webstar1000]

The are talking about the Gift Edition by Centipede... with Collectors Traycase and non-glossy prints.

[The Library Policeman]

It's the gift edition, Becca. Tomas (the collector) made a tray case for the gift edition which had a compartment inside to hold the loose set of prints from Centipede that were featured in the book. The book, tray case and prints together became an unofficial set of sorts.

Ah, thanks for that.

Sorry I should have gave a little more detail. This is correct.

I just have the book, no traycase or prints. Hopefully one day I will acquire the full set, or better yet a signed edition! There doesn't appear to be a polling option for this though.

Yes, allow me to rant about polls (and I appreciate its a limitation of the web site software and not RF's fault)..

You can only specify a poll after you have made the announcing post
You have to specify the number of poll options up front and cannot add more
You ONLY get 3 min to enter all the poll options and complete the poll before it times out and you lose *everything* other than the announcing post (which you can then not re-add the poll too)

So I had planned a 'book only' response but ran out of responses to include it.

[Theli]

Ah nuts

[zelig]

Just voted. I have the GE book, Traycase and all prints. Interesting to see how many are out there amongst members.

EDIT: Great idea for a poll/post Simon.
