    (sorry, I just arrived... and I've been...staring, drooling, etc.)

    This is an utterly beautiful production, a wonderful homage to one of Kings greatest novels and to the CP edition... Congratulations!

I have to say, after seeing these pictures you’ve taken, I think I get it now.
    I'm glad that the pictures do it some justice. I'm sure that some other posters here could take photographs that do an even better job (I'm looking at you, Yigor)!

    There are definitely some aspects that are harder to appreciate without seeing it in person. It's a big book, with heavy paper, so it's really a massive tome. Also, the goatskin feels amazing - it's actually soft! When compared to the standard leather-bound (or, god forbid, bonded leather) book, it really stands out.

    Below are a few more pictures.

    The topstain:

    A 3/4 view of the plate on the spine of the traycase, in which you can better see that it's a plate:

    Congratulations on a beautiful production. Next step is to treat yourself to the ultimate 'Salem's Lot reading experience. The tactile pleasure of handling the goatskin binding and turning the mouldmade Saunders Waterford pages creates a heightened reading occasion.

    I so so want to do this. Naturally I’m worried I’ll defect it somehow but maybe with enough practice on similar, less rare books I might feel comfortable doing it.

    Don't worry. They're your books and you should enjoy them. To miss out on the pleasure and satisfaction they provide is to miss the point completely.

    Very true and that’s a great point. I couldn’t agree more, really. I guess what makes me worry is the possibility that one day I’ll need to sell some of my collection to pay for an emergency, for example. The value from Fine to Near Fine seems to be a huge difference in many cases. It does seem ridiculous sometimes that I have these amazingly produced books that I’m missing out on 90% of the experience by only ever really seeing the spine or the case it’s in. What I do now is look through the special books while I read a reading copy. That way I at least get to see the art and finish reading the book with the last few pages of the special edition.

    To each their own. I have read my Centipede 'Salem's Lot once a year since publication and the pleasure I have derived from each of those readings along with the anticipation as the next year's re-reading date approaches is priceless. The fact that SL is my all-time favorite book plays a huge role in the overall experience but if I had the coffin limited of The Stand or was getting the Suntup limited or deluxe Misery I would do the same.
    Go ahead and pull your favorite one off the shelf and give it a spin!

    "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

    Happy surprise!

    I order a couple of things from ABEBooks, nothing spectacular. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package!





    Love the way King slants the letters, big to small!

    Originally I was only going to order only the Letters from Hell Prospectus, but I thought let me see what else this seller has.
