Hey All -
How long before we start hearing if there are going to be any limited editions, S/N editions, etc of Under The Dome?
I know it's still early days, but I thought I'd ask.

You didn't know?
It's already sold out.
JK.
The length of time S/L books are announced in advance by publisher varies. There is no "normal" advance time. Sometimes it's years prior to actual publishing, sometimes only months.
It would be interesting to recall past editions, and how far in advance they were announced.
You mean like Legacies? After all, when you say years, it certainly qualifies.

It would be nice to see a S/L of this.
I think the last S/L of a new, unexpected, novel we had was From a Buick 8.
Sure, we have had S/L anthologies (Postscripts 10, Borderlands 5), The Dark Tower 5-7 (we knew these were coming), books where King did the intro (Dandelion Wine), reprints of previously published material (TLSOE, TGWLTG and TCK).....but a brand new, unexpected novel....it has been a while.

And the way Under the Dome is being described as "similar to The Stand" make me think it should get a similiar S/L treatment.
:-)
I seriously doubt there will be limited edition. King doesn't seem much interested in doing them these days.
Um...what?
Not to be too contrary, but lately it seems like he'll put his signature on two slices of bread...Maybe not with his own books, but I think there have been at least a half-dozen s/ls in the last couple years of anthologies, etc., either announced or already published.
I have to agree with Rahfa here.
Since 2000 he has done at least 23.
DT5, DT6, DT7, TLSOE, PS10, BL5, TGWLTG, The Big Book of Necon, He is Legend, SODv1, SODv2, TCK, Dandelion Wine, Fifty-to-One, Great Ghost Stories, Quietly Now, 'Salem's Lot, Black House, Green Mile, FAB8, Transgressions, A Life in the Cinema, Dystopia.
He's been averaging over two per year.
And Rahfa, I actually heard somwhere that this year, he will be signing two slices of bread.

Perhaps I am missing something. What King S/L was released in 2008?
But look at those that he's done lately. How much of it is original fiction material? Not a lot. Not only that, but we all know that King really doesn't care that much for S/L editions. With that in mind, why would he be interested in doing one?

Postscripts 10 came out in early 2008, right?
--- Apparently 2007...man, I can't believe it's been that long! Seems like I just got it a few months ago!
I know that King has said negative things about limited editions, but nothing in his track record actually shows he's very opposed to them....as all our bookcases will attest! Haha...
I know what you're saying about original fiction, but to me, a s/l is all the same and there ain't no shortage lately...

Good, I hope you stick around, Kenny. At least get caught up on the "Collectible Hill" thread.

I was talking about his own novels -- as someone else said, there hasn't been one since FAB8.
It shipped on 24th January. I got the second copy. Copyright page says 2007.
TGWLTG (which doesn't really count), Salem's Lot, Green Mile, DT V, VI, VII have shown up from 2004-2007.
There actually haven't been that many true novels in the last few years anyway, right? "Duma Key" I know, but what other ones?
