    This was Mr RT's lazy, "spare" copy - nice to know its returned back to the DT famiglia. And to pull this beauty out with less than 10 posts, patzgcrux, looks like you're going to be right at home here!

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think Kings signature should have been on its own page?

    So TRUE! When I took over Betts and approached SubPress to introduce myself, I was told SubPress would NEVER sell anything to Betts because Stu maligned the Green Mile publication so badly (apparently). It took a lot of doing to get them to sell to me, but this confirms Bob's memory that the book was maligned.

    Frankly, I love the publication and the Lettered edition ranks in my top 3 favorites in terms over production/appearance.

    Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
    Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand    .

    I just acquired a preliminary drawing for the cover of CD's Dark Delicacies by Jill Bauman. I also picked up the signed limited. I'm having fun picking out the differences.

    Here is a link that explains the item in better depth:

    http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...+Lettered+-+UK

    What makes this unique is the limited, One off original artwork on each of the lettered copies. I have copy "Z" and it came with a art book that illustrated the rest of the art works and of course in the envelope marked "Z" the artwork that came with it.









    Side by side comparison of the Limited Slip Case edition on the right compared to the Lettered edition.

















    Congrats! You beat me out on the bidding on this one. I wish I had gone higher, but glad to see someone here got it.

    Got myself a copy of End of Watch (my local bookstore has it in stock already). I'm really looking forward to reading it! I finished The Fireman just in time. Also got myself a UK trade PB of City of Mirrors and a Penguin reprint of Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House, which I never read before. A good score, I think!

    *edit: added a quick & dirty pic. Nothing special but I am very happy with these new additions to the ever growing TBR pile.

    You're right, most bookstores here get the UK editions instead of the US editions, but we have two 'American Book Centers' in The Hague and Amsterdam that carry the US editions (and often the UK editions as well). I live very close to The Hague so I hopped on the train this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised to find City of Mirrors as well (alas, no US hardcover yet).

    Speaking of which, it would be great if one of my TDT friends could get me a US hardcover of City of Mirrors. I can wait for it to show up locally but the lady at the bookstore told me they didn't order it. And my experiences with Amazon have been underwhelming...
