Same hereDamn I wish I had known about that 50% of Gift certificates BEFORE I just paid for the the remainder of the Doubleday Limiteds. I would have joined the club for sure. Now though, I cant see myself buying enough other King items to warrant it.What a huge blow!! I prepaid like over $1700 Canadian to prebuy the set. Would have saved me a ton of cash
$1700? Thats nothing, I bought all the Lettered's too. had to use two credit cards to make the purchase.
There was no mention of how much it cost, so I assumed it was much more then it really is. I had to add it to my cart to find out the price. Still thinking about it for this year. I am buying a house, so really should be saving my money. If I join the club then I might be tempted to spend more.
Given all the new information, I think its a good deal, but thinking I need to start showing some restraint. Will definitely do it for the next one.

Price IS mentioned, but its buried in the text (3rd paragraph from bottom). I missed it first time as well
"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
You know I'm not a fan of PS splitting Salem's lot into 3 books, but I think it might make sense for The Stand. The Stand had 3 parts to it, so it seems like a natural division of text. If you divide in half, then it probably gets a little more awkward choosing a breaking point.Can I ask why? I fear this will be impossible... member IT? That was pushing it.. plus the extra content.

Having said that, the stand has been successfully made into a limited edition in the past, so maybe it is still possible to do in one book (I don't own it, so hard to say if it was pushing things).

LOL! Actually $1700 is not nothing to me! Just small compared to how much I spent!Fortunatly I "saved" $100 by buying a discounted gift certificate about a week before.

I guess I am weird I just like having the look and feel of one book. The fact that it is one continuous story and when I read a book I like being able to just keep going with out having to get up from my spot and pick up the next book to keep going. I know King split the book into 3 "stories" but it is still 1 continuous story line. Also the Stand is only ~20 pages longer than IT so I feel like you could squeeze it in there.Can I ask why?

When I see the Grant DT Series I just hate how they split some of the books into two. To me it doesn't really make sense, you made the trade in one book and you made the artist edition in one book. Even if you went with thicker paper you could still put it in one book as CD did with IT.
One thing to mention with the 50% off Gift Certificates for members of the Cemetery Dance Collectors Club: they're usually only offered once per year, so it does require some planning if you want to stock up for future purchases. But yeah, some collectors have done really well with them!

Side note: Exactly how close is CD getting to releasing The Dark Tower Companion and DT: The Complete Concordance Revised? I want these SOOO BAD!!
I haven't had a chance to update the website in a bit, but COMPANION is just about done at the printer and will ship in October and CONCORDANCE is headed to the printer now.

It seems Mr del Toro IS able to sign some books at quite short notice.For THE FALL, everything is ready for the printer... just waiting on Guillermo del Toro to find some time to sign the signature sheets I sent him a few years ago. I've talked to his agent, his assistant, and his business manager over the years. Everyone says he loved what LRB did with THE STRAIN, so it really just seems to be a time management issue. Fingers crossed he finishes soon...
THE NIGHT ETERNAL is also completely ready for the printer, except for the signature sheets.

GTD seems to have twitter account now. so maybe you can nag him there also.
Perhaps I'll just tweet sad photos at him of the empty space on my bookshelf where the other two books are supposed to go!
I'm waiting to hear back from his manager and assistant yet again, this time pointing out the link that was kindly posted above that shows he has had time to sign SOMETHING.
I've offered (again) to reprint the sheets if they were lost... I'm really thinking maybe that's what happened. Last time they were seen, they were spotted in his "man cave" and that was the last report. I told them I've had to reprint lost sheets MANY times and to just let me know if that's the case.
Anyway, I don't usually discuss business in public, but the sheets were sent in July 2012 and I can't exactly not post in public about it...

CD referenced me in their most recent email. But no picture of me.
Dr. Sleep, Mr Mercedes slipcases fit alot of other King books, so i was able to order those with the gift certificate as well. I join each year with the hope of another signed limited!
Brian, here is my idea... I would like a free copy of it if you do it. I am hoping CD does a signed/limited set of Mercedes/Keepers/End of Watch. I think Mr. King is proud of those books! and it would be really neat.
I really like FINDERS KEEPERS. I would like a moleskin copy of Finders Keepers.

CD Message that came in my email
Hi Glennon,
There are only about 50 membership slots left for the new Cemetery Dance Collectors Club, and one of our collectors pointed out that we don’t advertise one VERY cool feature of the club:
Once a year, the CDCC is offered the opportunity to order Gift Certificates at 50% off the retail price!
Glenn... I would LOVE to see that. GREAT idea.. a TOP CD production signed limited set of the Trilogy. Brian.. can you get on this my good man? King has not done a signed limited in awhile... maybe your team could do a mock up and present it to him? Keep the number low... under 750 or 500.. and of course get Wrightson, Whelan, Wells (the 3 w's) each to do a book? Oh man... I am just droooling imagining this!CD referenced me in their most recent email. But no picture of me.
