Thanks for those pictures.

I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Great pics. Interesting the matte (UK limited) finish versus gloss finish.
Ari, which one (edition) is the number line that counts down to 1?Originally Posted by Ari_Racing
Here are some pics of my copies of Charlie The Choo-Choo so you can see the diferences between the four different editions:
SDCC version is glossy while the regular edition isn't.

Might be a UV coat. Wish I could see in person to be sure. Love when that is done. Looks really nice.... we got so many requests we had to buy a machine to meet demand!

That should be the anomaly edition with the sticker on the back, I believe.Ari, which one (edition) is the number line that counts down to 1?Here are some pics of my copies of Charlie The Choo-Choo so you can see the diferences between the four different editions:

That's correct, Dan. 10 down to 1.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Did your copies finally arrive?

Perhaps you could reply in the other thread as to what print #'s (if readable) were damaged.books arrived all smashed and ruined. even the posters did not survive. came with a nice note from the post office apologizing for the destruction.

From George, or from me?I just missed George's auction. Any for sale?
I can't speak for George, but I'm still waiting for my Waterstones copy to arrive before making any decisions.
Ok. Was curious if you were going to sell. I know George is all out.From George, or from me?I just missed George's auction. Any for sale?

Did not even think to check #'s I refused the shipment (in a plastic bag) and said "RETURN TO SENDER" Sorry.
Out of the 1000... what do you guys think survived in perfect shape? 60%? 70%?

THAT WAS SMART MOVE.. i did not act quick enough on that Ebay auction.. and when I spoke with George found he had sold out. He also found one of the ten he ordered was destroyed in shipping.

The USPS is crazy. My book was sent from San Francisco customs to Atlanta GA and is now on it's way back to me. 8,626 miles from London to San Francisco. 5,000 round trip San Francisco to Atlanta, GA.
That is half the circumference of the planet. No doubt with all of that handling, the package will be damaged; probably run over by a forklift twice.
How many packages can say they have tire treads from London, Atlanta, SF and all points in between. Might ask your mail carrier to run over it too - just to be a completist.

And a train for good Measure. Maybe Charlie was trying to deliver it himself and got angry when they didn't like him anymore
Probably more, it seems the problem is most localized in the US. It seems that Canuck copies arrived fine and I bet the UK copies are alright as well. Still the number will be staggeringly high for a just released book. I wouldn't be surprised at around 200 damaged world wide.
This guy!
Waterstone was kind enough to refund the £12.50 shipping charge.
<------------Crosses fingers that in 6-10 days the book arrives safely.
Perhaps your package was in hiding from the forklift and will arrive pristine....
It seems to have taken a different route..
Hoping you have better luck and you can toot your whistle when Charlie ends his journey.
is that just too sickening optimism?

At this point, to be a true completist, you should take it to SK - if he runs it over, then you have a true collectible.
[As far as strange requests for SK go, I would like to have him write "BOO" (that's all - no signature, no date, nothing identifying him, just "BOO") inside my very old paperback of The Stand - I would know who wrote it and that would be enough.]
