I am destined to stick with my UK edition!

**herbertwest** · 03-26-2009 07:53 AM

i thought it was a Book of the month club edition and not scribner???

**Matt** · 03-26-2009 08:07 AM

It is exactly as photographed above

**turtlex** · 03-26-2009 09:43 AM

I just asked at the Catalog thread and since this one has the CUT-OUT of the shovel on the slipcase, then it's the Schribners edition.

I apparently have the BOMC edition, which has a graphic of the shovel... but NO cut-out at all.

Thanks Pam

I am looking at the book in the pic so I wondered if that is the more common cover art on the front? Maybe I am completely blind but the book is without DJ right? Solid red with the floral only in the pic of the shovel? If I am mistaken and that is the DJ covering up the hardback print I am sorry for confusing. I am on pain meds atm so maybe my mind is playing tricks. Here is a funny quote by a self claimed hardcore King fan.

"so whenever ol' Steve squirts out another novel, I'm there at the bookstore on day one, trotting up to the register with a lump in my jockeys. So when King's book dropped a few days ago, I was there, baby.

Or rather, SlamWife was there, because I had some other crap to do. So she picked up a copy for me, and had it waiting for me on the coverlet of the bed when I came home that night. Damn, that SlamWife is a good woman.

So I brushed my teeth, put on my pajammies, and curled up with King's latest opus... and fell asleep after reading twenty pages.

And that's as far as I've gotten.

So why the review? Well, I can drop a little 411 about the book just based on those twenty pages, and the brief time I spent manhandling the book itself. And these things are important-- the sort of things you may want to know before making the purchase yourself. For starters, well...

...apparently Stephen King wants everyone to think I'm gay. Or if not gay, he wants everyone to think I'm a 45-year-old single woman who spends her Saturday nights curled up on the couch with a tub of Cool-Whip and a salad spoon, reading schmaltzy romance novels. Know why? Because when you take off the slipcover of the book, the hardcover itself is all done up in this hideous pink, purple and green floral print , with words like "Baby Luv" slopped into the mix. I'm the sort of SlamShut who likes to take his latest book with him to the doctor's office or, God forbid, the DMV if I'm gonna be forced to wait, but I'll have to think twice before doing that with "Lisey's Story," because King has decided to wrap his latest work in a cover that look's like Aunt Tillie's shelfpaper. It's friggin' hideous. Matter of fact, it's so sickeningly saccharine that it's actually, well, horrifying. Which, I guess, is appropriate."
"

**sleeplessdwarf** · 03-26-2009 12:25 PM

I posted the funny comment mainly because for a second I felt the same. I got the book from ebay and the seller used a stock pic of shovel cut out. It did not come with DJ so when I opened the box I was like wtf did these people send me. I never ordered anything that looked like this.

**sleeplessdwarf** · 03-26-2009 12:29 PM

Ok, now I looked and seen where the slipcase edition is different. Sorry for being retarded.

**turtlex** · 03-26-2009 12:39 PM
