    Anyone else share the opinion that this auction went high because it was unsigned?

    No idea but I like his description. Sounds like me at work when someone asks me a question I have no idea the answer to and my boss is staring at me to answer.

    There will most likely be one other difference.

    On the second to last page, the word "hell" is used, and apparently the good folks at Scribner had issue with that word appearing in a children's book, and wanted it removed or replaced.

    I assume they got their wish, but won't know for sure until the book is released.
    WRONG.....

    Press are still being sent the SDCC version, so that could account for quite a few of 'em. I kind of want that bill of sale, now, too.

    Can anyone confirm there is NO UK version of this book?
    Lilja posted a link to amazon UK a while back, but that no longer works. A search on Amazon UK, just shows the same ISBN book and publisher as for the US.
    "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

    "Hodder Children’s Books, part of the Hachette Children’s Group, announces the acquisition of Charlie the Choo-Choo by Beryl Evans. Fans of Stephen King will recognise Charlie the Choo-Choo, which features in his adult series The Dark Tower (published by Hodder and Stoughton) as a fictional children’s book.

    A beautiful limited edition slipcase of Charlie the Choo-Choo will publish on 15th December 2016 and includes a numbered and signed print by Beryl Evans. Copies will be available to buy from Waterstones. A hardback picture book edition will follow in the wider trade in July 2017 to tie in with the release of The Dark Tower film starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey."

    >>> https://www.waterstones.com/book/cha.../9781444939880

    "A beautiful limited edition slipcase of 'Charlie the Choo-Choo', a children's book written by the bestselling author Stephen King as 'Beryl Evans'. Includes a numbered and signed print by 'Beryl Evans'. Only 1,000 copies available."

    £20



    Who sign those : Steve as Beryl Evans or a fake Beryl Evans?

    I can't imagine it will be him especially at that price but I ordered one anyway. It would be pretty neat if it does end up being Stephen. Why not have two slipcased versions of this?(ordered the one from CD too)
    I would guess it's a print of Ned's art?
    Thanks for the info!

    Wouldn't that be something, for only £20! I ordered one from Waterstones, just in case. I mean it seems too good to be true, and even doubling the price with international shipping, I figure it's worth the slim chance.

    Let us know if you hear for sure!

    I got two. If it is Stephen, even better! Since it's only on the print, there is a better chance that he's signing them.

    Could anyone order a copy for me? Just like every time I try to order from a UK bookstore I get screwed by it claiming my "SecureCode" is wrong, when it's not...

    I'd hate to miss out over something so trivial.

    I ordered two - if it turns out to be signed by SK, wonderful. If not, still only 1000 out there.
