Wow! Not so rare as predicted.

Wow! Not so rare as predicted.

Believe it or not, when Brian and I where speculating on how many of these we thought where printed we where pretty much right on the money guessing 5 to 6 thousand.

[Ari_Racing]

6500 copies? Wow...

[Brian861]

Which now just makes it a desirable variant for some rather than that must have like the SDCC edition.

[herbertwest]

I can't share complete details of what I've been told, but here's what I can share about this "UK" edition of CHARLIE THE CHOO CHOO:

"Both were both printed at the same bindery in the US. There were 6,500 copies impacted by this issue out of the 49,600 printed so far."

I will post this over in the thread for the book, too, in case it proves helpful.

Best,
Brian

Can someone please remind me what is that issue again?
Thanks

This whole Choo Choo thing has gotten waaaay out of hand. I am perfectly happy with my Hodder edition and my US edition(which will eventually be slipcased as well by CD).
Brian, just curious since I heard that S&S were on their third printing of this, will the folks that ordered from you but haven't gotten them yet still get a first trade edition. Whatever that means anymore....

Oh and if you're not busy please feel free to share some more NS art...

I think so, but to my knowledge they haven't done anything to distinguish between the printings on the books.

Yeah, the editions/printings are kind of confusing on this one because (at least the ones I've seen) have had a copyright page designed with copyright information as if this were a real book from 75+ years ago... There's been mucho confusion because of that.

Now we know why Hodder & Stoughton (and Sony Pictures-SDCC) had a "representative" sign for Beryl Evans. Presuming Evans was an adult when she wrote the children's book, and is still "alive", signing hundreds and hundreds of books would be dreadfully hard for a centurion....

Spoiler:

Marsha and SK just laugh all day about the silly lengths we have all gone through to hoard the books we think/thought would be a Golden Ticket

[allasorte]

What day is this? What did I miss?

Just kidding. I've been attempting to read throughout the Charlie Choo Choo thread and now have a migraine. I'd simply assume the signed print would have been no one of importance for the price listed. Regardless, a limited numbered print with an interested King book in a slipcase and a hardcover interests me. Also, I bought 3 of the US books from CD. So far two came and they are the non 10-1 print line. No biggie. I like the book and glad to help out a great publisher.

None of the books have 10 - 1 print lines. I'ts an artistic choice on S&S's part. There was supposed to be a slip in with the books we sent explaining this, but I know I forgot to include it with some. I'll post the text below explaining the copyright page.

All copies of CHARLIE THE CHOO-CHOO by Beryl Evans (aka Stephen King) are marked "Copyright 1942 / 4th Edition" on the copyright page. That is not the actual copright or printing information for the book we're shipping to our collectors, but it is instead another reference to the fictional CHARLIE THE CHOO-CHOO book that plays a role in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. As far as we can tell, none of the copies of the book published this year by Simon & Schuster contain any "real" printing/edition information. We hope this information is helpful!

Isn't the normal/"real" copyright information printed on the back of the last page or next to last page? I don't have my book in front of me, but I seem to recall finding it somewhere in there.

Yes it is.

Correct, it is on the very last page facing the back board of the book... where exactly no one looks before we get an angry email, ha!

If there's interest, CD could sell signed copies of the chapbook edition. I'm really thrilled with how the chapbook turned out, especially considering Kate only had two days to put the whole thing together before the drop-dead printer deadline.

I think CD might have signed copies in the next few weeks. There is an unsigned chapbook on Amazon for $4.99 if you want to get a feel for what it looks like, but it is the shortest free preview ever due to the length, ha!

LOL, sweet! I'll hold out for a signed copy Love the cover.

I would definitely be interested in a signed version of the Chapbook!

[Randall Flagg]

Provide a PP address to send the money directly (friends and family) and a price for a signed chapbook.
I'm in!

[Tommy]

My BJF collection would be incomplete without a signed chapbook for this so please count me in!

[Beverly Marsh]

LOL, sweet! I'll hold out for a signed copy Love the cover.

Same!
