That was a UK edition and was not released close to the time of the original release of the story like many S/Ls.

He was asking for a list of "true" novels that had come out in the last few years.

Ah, yeah...Cell and Blaze are the two I couldn't remember...I've never owned them, that's why...
I liked both Cell and Blaze.
I could not get past page 10 of Lisey's Story.
I am about 25% through Duma Key....does not hold my interest much.

Try to give Duma Key a bit more time. I almost bailed on the book 100 pages in-was bored, but it eventually picked up and I enjoyed it.
I liked Duma...took awhile to get going, but it was okay.
I actually really liked Liseys...
I've read Blaze and Cell...Blaze was a good Bachman book....Cell was written for a paycheck.
We know that Bachman isn't doing any more limiteds, and maybe Lisey's is meant to be too 'literary' for a horror-genre limited...Cell and Duma could be limiteds...does't look like it, though.
All this talk tempts me to go raising the pipedream topic of an S/L of IT... sigh.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Oh God pleeeeze have them do a S/L "IT"....one of my top 10 SK's
If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
As much as I'd love to see "It" as a S/L (its my favourite King novel), I think for it to get the treatment it deserves it would have to be a bible-esque production such as the Stand.... which seemingly would put it out of my price range.
Not only that, but it would be a near repeat of The Stand to do something like that. BUT, if you made it a traycase to begin with and went with something like having the tray case look like sewer walls or OOH how about made to look like a sewer grate? Maybe with a hint of a bunch of slightly colorful ballons just past the grating or a yellow rain slicker even. The book itself could be bound in red leather with a huge grinning Pennywise on the cover with no dust jacket. That would look good I think.

I just do not like the idea of doing a S/L of a book that was previously published.
Yeah, I own the S/Ls of The Green Mile and Salem's Lot....but I think a S/L should come out the same time as the trade edition.

I've said it many times before, I'd really like to see a s/l of The Shining that includes the published Prologue and the missing "After".
John
Still can't understand why King didn't want Centipede Press to do it
Wanted list:
Ubris
One section of the "missing" epilogue actually appears in The Shining (EPILOGUE/SUMMER). King's original manuscript (before he added the epilogue and later the prologue only to have the excised to keep the book price down) didn't have that chapter; it ended with Wendy and Danny escaping on the snowcat with Dick.
I was thinking of the one listed in this auction catalog:
John
I wonder about this. The published part of the epilogue is 1700 words long, which would easily be at least four pages in manuscript.
Who the F*CK won that auction...
Will we ever be able to read "After the Play"?
