Wow. How cool is that?!?
And it says the remarque can be inscribed... wonder if you could suggest a topic ( ie - Dark Tower ) ?
I can't wait to see what you all get.

Well....I'm preordering the other one in a week, when the CC period closes.

I'd love to order it, and if it was two years ago I definitley would...but, just can't justify the $1K - which it's totally worth. I'm not really an artist collector.
But for the money, it's an incomarable set of artist signatures. I wonder if it's a legit long term investment at that price? I just can't tell, and don't have the knowledge base, and that's another reason for me to stay on the sidelines.
I want to go to there.
1K is not in my "pocket" right now.
At least if you spend the 1K you KNOW you will get a remarque-not a 1/100 chance (?).
It just seemed worth it to get the remarque for spending a couple hundred more $$. But I am a fool for buying having just lost my job....so, I really will be selling some stuff very soon. Gotta go make my list.
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.
It's completely impossible for me to get the most expensive one...my salary is exactly that amountToo bad...I wanted to buy for the very first time a remarqued edition

Has anyone seen the price of the Deluxe edition?. I'm sure it will be well justified although looking at the price tag makes me wince.

DELUXE (w/ Extras such as oversized, signed prints):
25, Roman numerals, signed
$4,995 incl. S&H thru 5/5
$5,995 thereafter
Suddenly the Whelan remarqued edition sounds much more affordable.
Just the unsigned version for me, but this will be a very nice item to add to my bookshelf!
I'll be getting the unsigned edition also. I just can't justify to myself spending that much money on a book that is not signed by King himself. If King had signed it, I'd be getting one of the traycased ones.

I would have to get all the editions King signed, but as there aren't any, I've saved a fortune.
I think i'll get the basic edition at some point.. but dont know when...

Thoughts on how fast the cheap edition might sell out? I'll eventually get one, I just have too many irons in the fire right now to afford it.
Can't wait to see what Michael does in your copies guys! That's an awsome deal Jared put together. I'd love to spend some of my tax return on that, but my 9 month old rules my wallet right now. Good thing he's so dang cute
I'll hopefully grab a copy of the Slipcased one though. Can't wait to see how the new commissioned pieces look. I have to wait and see how much $$ we spend in Napa first though. Heading out there in April, and we plan on coming back with a lot of tasty wine

Definitley not for awhile...you're in no rush. It's a great item, worth buying, but it is a niche item that will take some time to sell out of.
I agree. With 2500 copies to be printed, it'll probably be around for a little while.

Sweet! We went for the first time last year and liked it so much, we are heading back. We are going for the Passport Weekend in the Dry Creek area. We'll be staying in Napa on the 22nd and 23rd and visiting wineries in that area, and then moving to another hotel in Santa Rosa/Petaluma on the 24th-26th for the passport event on Sat and Sun.I am only 40 miles from Napa. PM me if you need a place to stay, or suggestions.I have to wait and see how much $$ we spend in Napa first though. Heading out there in April, and we plan on coming back with a lot of tasty wine
What are your favorite wineries? PM me some info. I know there are some that we've been to and want to visit again, but we also want to try and go by others that we missed or just didn't have time to visit last year.
This was waiting for me when I got up this morning:
The attached PDF file is very impressive, too. I may change my mind about getting just one of the slipcased editions to getting the traycased one.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
**********************************************
Centipede Press is pleased to announce the forthcoming
publication of Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired by
Stephen King, with an original introduction by film
director Frank Darabont. Michael Whelan will be
drawing remarques for only 50 copies of the deluxe
edition. See below for more information. The attached
PDF file also has a lot of details!
KEY SPECIFICATIONS:
* hardcover with sewn signatures and reinforced binding
* full color
* 11 x 15 inches
* 448 pages
* over 500 illustrations
* 30 pages of double-page foldouts
* publication date: November 2009
http://www.centipedepress.com/skart.html
Drawing on 35 years of artwork by the best fantasy artists
of our time, Knowing Darkness is an oversized
coffee-table art book that reprints virtually all of the
art done for King's limited edition books, all out of
print. It also reprints art for King's trade editions, film
stills, movie posters, foreign editions, and movie tie-in
editions.
In addition to the wealth of previously published artwork,
new works of art have been commissioned especially for this
book: Michael Whelan leads the way with a magnificent front
cover, and a new interior piece illustrating The Dark
Tower. The newly commissioned interior pieces include art
illustrating "One for the Road" (Stephen Gervais), It
(Bob Eggleton), The Shining (Douglas Smith), 'Salem's
Lot (John Picacio), Hearts in Atlantis (Les Edwards), Duma
Key (Don Maitz), "The Lawnmower Man" (Jason Eckhardt), The
Tommyknockers (Alex McVey), Black House and Cell (Zach
McCain), "Weeds" and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (David
Ho), and others.
Shot from the originals or the artist's original
color-corrected computer scans, free of distracting type or
design, the artwork in this book is printed on heavy matte
paper and varnished for protection.
Every artistic medium is represented: scratchboard, oils,
watercolors, pencils, collage, photographs, and digital art.
The text, written by King critic George Beahm, looks back
at 34 years of King in print. It provides a detailed look
at the writer and his life, supplemented with interviews
with Michael Whelan, Bernie Wrightson, Drew Struzan, John
Cayea, Dave Christiansen, and many others.
Note: Stephen King has not signed this book, nor has he
contributed any original text.
To be published in three collectible editions, all share
the same text, art, and design.

imaginative fiction. From the publisher of the highly
acclaimed A Lovecraft Retrospective: Artists Inspired by
H.P.L., this limited edition collectible belongs on the
shelf of every King fan.
"I feel privileged to have been selected from all the
potential artists out there to illustrate so much of SK's
work. It's been nothing but a joyride for me. To get a
chance to do some more work is the fulfillment of two years
worth of wishing and hoping."

With my wife still looking for work it was a tough decision but I'm taking one of the traycase with original Whelan piece in it.
Keep your eye open for things I'll be selling to pay this back.
I have always been about the artwork in Kings books, movie poster, soundtrack covers, dvd covers, etc. I truly believe the artist, being a fan themselves, allow their imagination to go down those same roads and paths the constant reader goes down.
Expressing it in art is eye candy for the collector.

I got a slipcased edition. I have the Lovecraft artist book and it is really a nice piece of work. I'm sure this one will be kick ass as well. So this was a no brainer to buy since I've seen the first book of this type.
One thing saddening is I was hoping to buy the middle-tier book, with Lovecraft they had a $495 traycased edition ($395 pre-order). I was hoping there was going to be this option with King's book, but it's at $895. Too bad, but I'll still be happy with the slipcased edition.
