    In theory you are right but don't you think they might get around that since Lonely Road is nominally a different publisher than CD?

    The Wikipedia article on Blockade Billy claims that the Scribner edition will not be illustrated. Is this true? I can't remember reading this in the official announcements.

    10 on eBay out 10,000? It's actually not a bad way to reach a corner of the market that isn't on the email list.


    Although I didn't order an S/L, I do think the King-signed baseball card mounted in the book is a very cool idea. (If it were a loose signed card, I would not be impressed.)

    I just got an email from Mindy at CD verifying this. No illustrations in the Scribner edition.

    Well, that's good...so for the effort, the CD edition is a legit seperate edition...the art, plus the dustjacket, and the card...so there's some value in it...

    I'm still not buying a copy...

    Has anyone who ordered UTD slipcase from CD ever gotten one yet or heard anything else about them?
    I wonder just how long it will take to get the slipcase for BB?
    It is nice of them to even offer them in the first place for BB.
    Will the Collector make a slipcase for BB? I love the slipcase he did for UTD and it didn't that very long to get it either.

    I got a proof of BLOCKADE BILLY today. It sure is a little thing. Only about 7.5" x 5". 111 pages with not much text per page. I looked at quickly and thought "Oh well......whatever." I'd call it a short story, not a novella, but what it is called isn't important. I hope it is a good story.

    LOL - reading this I see my image of Bob in his vault of a basement with the latest Stephen King novella that NO one has access to. Book in hand, he skims the pages and say's "Oh well... whatever" as he tosses it (with no interest) on the pile of other King books and goes upstairs in disgust.

    Made me smile!!!

    That is disappointing to hear. I was expecting something a bit larger. Based on your interior desription BB sounds more like a 50-page normal size format short story. Not worth $32 to me.

    And for $450 a 111 page story with a signed baseball card. Meh.

    That's the killer $450 for such a small book.

    But I have no problem with $25 plus shipping for a 111 page book. It'll have illustrations, bound cloth boards and sewn binding. That right there is easily worth the price over the Scribner's edition. In fact because it's sewn binding that alone makes it more worthwhile than a trade hardcover any day of the week. To me at least, as I like my books to last, so I'll pay the extra money.

    Plus I bought the slipcase, why not? It'll look a lot cooler on the shelf.

    I'll be a happy camper (when they arrive, lol), and have no qualms about buying a CD edition over Scribners. I would have done the same thing if Scribner announced their book first.

    Of course it is written "First edition", but have you seen at the bottom of the backcover : "May 2010"
    I guess that the release date have been changed since the ARC were at the printer...

    I cant wait to read the story though..

    Does that look at all like a 1957-era haircut to you guys? I think they should have found someone who got a haircut first.
