I certainly won't be forking out the money for the lettered edition.

Doesn't matter. It will be less than the issue price in 3 months.
Precisely. Could not agree more.Originally Posted by Mr. Rabbit Trick
It's not very exciting, it's Riding the Bullet. You get King's novella and the Mick Garris screenplay. Plus photos of the movie and production notes. King is only signing the Lettered Edition (which I won't buy at $750). Bernie Wrightson is doing the artwork.

I feel a little different about it. I'm tickled that Bernie jumped on this project. I enjoyed the story also.
Look forward to seeing what Bernie has planned for this.

I actually liked the story and movie, but there isn't anything new by King, it's more a Mick Garris book, as his stuff is all new.I feel a little different about it. I'm tickled that Bernie jumped on this project. I enjoyed the story also.

But I did buy it, as I have all 3 books by Lonely Road so far, and the Clegg one on pre-order, so there's no reason not to have a complete set. I've liked the production job they've done so far with their books: much better than CD.

Interesting, but I have zero interest in this title. Nevermind if King were sgning the S/L, I still wouldn't want it. Nothing new or special about this release that I see.

Sounds like this one's right up your alley Ari. Good luck getting the Korean edition too.

I too am passing. A year after it is realsed (which I am guessing will be the year 2012), it will be selling for cover price or less on ebay.
I like CD's books, but I am tired of the waiting.

I passed also. I like the quality of work that LR puts into their books, but I just don't have much interest in this one.
I'll get one on the secondhand market as well, if it is something I feel need to have.
Life is a garden...dig it!
I do agree that the limited (not signed by King) and/or the gift edition will be found for publish price or less on Ebay. However, I don't agree the Lettered Edition (signed by King) will be found for less.
When I found out Bernie jumped on this project, I jumped in myself. I'm pretty sure the Lettered will have some different artwork added.
Ahhhhhhh....The Power of Art

How many lettereds are they doing? If it is 26 they will probably hold their value but the editions with 52 lettered copies.....not so much.

Now I'm not saying the value is going to go through the roof. I'm saying I don't think the value will drop below publish price. There is more than 52 completest of Kings limiteds, signatures, lettered, etc. in the market.
Unfortunately, I'm one of them
Now please excuse me, I'm late for my KA(Kings Anonymous) meeting.

Although it is kind of neat, I too won't be buying this one.
As for the future value of the lettered, it will depend on the issue price. If its $500+ I don't think it can hold at that value.
This is what seems to happen with Subterranean Press' lettered editions - theres nothing special about them but they charge $500, way more than the market can handle in the first place. Not to get off topic, but that is ONE thing I have appreciated from CD, their lettered editions are usually only $150-$200 for the simple style editions.

I had only the Complete Concordance still on order with CD and I just canceled that one.
Will update on how long it takes to get a refund.
I figure I'll wait til its released, if ever and then try to find a PC copy of the lettered edition to match the PC copy of the lettered edition of Road to the Dark Tower that I'm on the hunt for.
Did texgunslinger ever tell us how his refund request from the good folks at Cemetery Dance went? Did he get his refund? Did I miss it?
Well, surprise surprise, still no refund. I had a response from Mindy within a few hours telling me she'd "look into it" and haven't heard a word since despite several emails.
What she has to look into I don't know, when I requested my refund I did so by reply to my original (now two year old) order email. Its not like they give an option to not pre-pay so just what is she looking into?
If the $70 will put them under? As pathetic as CD is, I don't think they are in that dire of straits. But I guess if they do this to enough customers its just money remaining in their pockets... so... live and learn I guess.
You'll get refunded eventually, I'm sure, but it's still aggravating while you're waiting...
I'm not concerned that I won't get refunded, I know I eventually will, but you're right, its really frustrating.
They've had my money for two years for a book that was "At the Printer" two years ago.
Then, Mindy has the time to email me back but not to take 30 extra seconds and actually issue the refund.
I did it simple: no reply? I emailed back and said that if my refund isn't completed within that week, I'm contacting King's office to let them know.
That WORKS!

I'll give them until Friday and go from there, but if playing hardball is what it takes, then play hardball I will.
