For those few who ARE looking for spoilers and absolutely cannot wait, just a heads up that there are 80 gorgeously staged photos in a Facebook group called: Stephen King Rare Editions (1st's, Signed, limited, Lettered, Proofs). You'll need to join the group to see the photos. (And if you're on FB, you should. They're a great bunch of people.) Once you do, you can see them via this link.

Not one, but two shipping confirmations! That was a surprise, the first of many I imagine as I too will be avoiding all spoilers. To those of you that have received yours congrats and enjoy!
Thanks for posting this Jason. These are some of the best pictures I’ve seen. I was looking through them last night and I was just taken by them. I’ve been so close to the project for so long and because of that, it’s easy to miss a certain vantage point. I realized this as I was looking through those shots. It made me step back and really see the book in a different way to how I have been seeing it while working on it, and I don’t mind admitting that I got a little emotional looking through those pictures. Thanks for spending the time staging and taking those shots Patrick. They are just wonderful.
Jason, Thank you for posting the link and sharing it with everyone here.
Paul, I am so pleased that you like the pictures. The book is magnificent and I tried to capture the experience as best as I could to share. And it was an experience and I had so much fun doing it. The passion and dedication that went into all aspects of the book, the swag and the packaging is obvious. It is a numbered edition that rivals most lettereds and exceeded my expectations by miles.
Here are 3 pictures to show the scale and weight of the box I received today. I'm spoiler tagging them, but they really are pretty innocuous.

A beautiful Production Paul.
Congratulation....very well done sir!

I just now opened my numbered edition, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Every little detail was a joy to discover. I don't think I own any other book to which so much attention and care was given.
This might seem like a weird thing to say, but underneath the fine materials there's also a sturdiness to the book and traycase that you don't often find in other books. It's not just beautiful, it's very well made.
Congratulations Paul, and thank you for bringing your dream to life so that we can all enjoy it.

I ordered a remarque for my numbered edition, which means the lettered ships out together when the numbered comes back from the artist. Maybe I need to take up meditation.
OMG, I was so enamoured by the book that I completely forgot about the schwag! It's a good thing I saw Patrick's photos before I threw the box out!
Thank you for the neat little extras, Paul.

I've also never felt compelled to save the packing materials before getting some of Paul's books. I may need extra storage just for empty boxes and wrapping paper.
I'm tempted to save the Suntup packing tape, just because it's so cool looking.
