What price do you think these will settle at?
$49...
Being a smart ass.
~$35 three years or less down the road.

FYI; THREE MORE WATERSTONE CHOO CHOOS CHEWED UP IN MAIL. After weeks tracking package while sat various places "In Transit to destination" My 3 arrived today with what is left of the Waterstones sleeve placed inside a special plastic bag which has a WE CARE stated above a paragraph apologizing for the condition of the delivered package. At least it kept what was left together. The original box also had USPS stickers on it, one saying "Received Unsealed" and another stating, "Damaged by Mechanical Equipment, Please Accept our Apology" All books and Slipcases were damaged. Prints okay.It's hard to say since about half have been destroyed due to piss poor packaging.What price do you think these will settle at?

We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Limited Edition numbered prints arrived okay however, I find two have the same number 916, 916 & 849.
What a fiasco. So much for ordering extra in case someone else needed.

Add me to the list of 3rd printing copies from CD - maybe I will still get my replacement before RF's UK limited arrives...
3rd printing from CD for me as well.
based on the % of people who received a damaged book just on this site alone and the total number of orders that must have shipped to the US, it would seem a mint copy of this UK limited book is going to be increasingly hard to find. it reminds me of the Shining debacle...
"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
are you 100% sure they are the same number? I thought the same, but whoever numbered them has sloppy 8's that can look like 6's. You may have 916 and 918Limited Edition numbered prints arrived okay however, I find two have the same number 916, 916 & 849.

On a brighter note, thanks to a member here for obtaining an AE (anomaly edition) for me.
I received an AE copy from CD as well.

Hmmmm, maybe there is some shenanigans going on. Maybe they are printing more than 1000 and claiming it is limited to 1000. Or maybe someone just lost track of where they were in the sequence.Limited Edition numbered prints arrived okay however, I find two have the same number 916, 916 & 849.

Yeah, I guess we know now why they only shipped us 500 copies at first and said the rest were coming very soon. Sigh... This is, obviously, a huge problem and a bummer for us as well. We'll take back any copies you ordered from us and refund shipping, of course. Just email Mindy at order@cemeterydance.com to make the arrangements. Sorry again!

That's definitely disconcerting. It makes me wonder how many other "doubles" of numbers out there...

Well, the good news to all this is.....my chances have now doubled in locating my needed number to match my Dark Tower set.

At what point does one get irritated and bitch to the USPS and to Waterstones?
My book seems to be in customs in San Francisco for 20 days now.
19 days is the limit I'd endure
