The Outsider - Collecting information

[becca69]

Whoever has a proof, does it have the 1st print run listed?

Unless you live somewhere in the boonies, why would anyone pre-order a trade edition? Your local book store should have it and you get to hand pick your copy. Plus you won't wait years to receive it.

I'm now buying my 1st from Camelot because they come in mylar at no extra cost. I've never got around to ordering mylar and would probably screw it up anyway. Plus she uses cool wrapping paper

UK Books are on sale!



If you have contacted me, I now have your book(s)

Yay Simon! I'm on that list
Thank you! I'd love to know how big that pile of books ended up being

I bought 24 copies today nowhere near the Sleeping Beauties pile![/QUOTE]

Thanks, Simon! Only two more runs to make this year (maybe)

Really? That’s cool. I’ll start ordering from Camelot too then.

They're the best book store there is and their customer service is unparalleled.

Yeppers. Kim is great people too. Probably pick up a reader from Amazon or whatnot since no more BCEs.

[Father Cody]

Great to know. Thanks guys.

Full number line. Sure does!

I agree...Kim and Tony at Camelot do a bang-up job!

Could be you have a severe leg injury which has cost you a lot of hospital time and treatment and precludes you from walking more than about five feet at a time. Hmm.

I can do better than 5 ft but "Amen"!!!!

I'm going to check out the American Book Center in The Hague this afternoon to see if they have the book in stock (and if so, whether they have any 1sts in nice condition). If not I'll be sure to contact one of my benefactors from the US

I disagree. Bett's is.

[biomieg]

I got myself a 1st/1st! Unfortunately, all available copies were a bit scuffed (probably due to the type of cover finish). Oh well... looking forward to reading it!

*edit: it turns out that the DJ is also very sensitive to finger prints... I took the book out of the bag and it has finger prints of the bookstore employee on the cover that I can't wipe away...

Just to be clear - if the number line starts with a 3 but ends in a 2, that's an Outsider second printing, yes?

Lowest number wins. Some publishers use 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 but others alternate 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 so that the number line stays nearly centered on the page when they remove digits.

This seemed to help someone yesterday:

1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. Now I'm confused. What printing is this?

*I do have to admit I did have a drink at brunch so this may be the reason I'm befuddled.

[zelig]

If you see a 1 in there you’re good. If you see pink elephants, you’ve had too much to drink.

This is a true 1st.

Brunch on a Wednesday?!?!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Went to Walmart, no copies. Went to Target, 14 copies according to their hand computers, nobody could find them. Went to Meijer, a whole bunch of firsts, bought 2.

[Ben Staad]

Thanks for the replies. Yep. Weekday brunch at a local joint. Nice little place that doesn't do dinner.

My local Walmart had at least 10 copies (maybe more) with the number line I asked about. I stopped looking after the ten.
