I see Owen King is appearing at the Hay Winter Weekend on November 23rd. Does anyone know if he is making any other UK appearances?
Thanks.

Just when you think you see the light at the end of the U.K. 1st editions tunnel it turns out that there are still more books to add to the list.... VJ BOOKS has indeed issued 32 books with Owen King tipped in signature pages these were issued with no stickers on the cover but there is a VJ BOOK.COM sticker added to the brodart back flap & no snake covers. When I discovered that there were four images on the books I was able to increase my order.
This really is getting out of hand.
Do these really qualify as different states? They seem more like "after market" enhancements to me.
If anyone has extra slipcase from Cemetery Dance please PM me! Thank you

Vjbooks puts their sticker on every book they sell.
"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
There was some speculation that the U.K. Airport editions only had the Tiger variant. I can confirm that ALL Four animals are are available on the Airport edition.

I'm kind of glad that I'm not collecting anymore. If I were, I'd probably be chasing each of these (except for the TPB airport editions). It's the completist in me.

Hodder&Stoughton knows how collectors think. Smart.
I'm looking for all the variants of the UK Sleeping Beauties TPB Airport Editions if anyone can help. Thanks!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
