    I am so glad you got it Pam!

    Best part of this whole thing is people getting some books they really want.

    I was going to establish a thread for pics if people want to post them or simply to let us know they got it, do you mind if I throw this post over there?

    So glad you got those and I trust the Illustration showed up undamaged.

    I had a heck of a time figuring out how to mail that thing.

    Those are awesome Pam!


    ...and not having seen your bookcases/collection before I have to ask: are you trying to corner the market on HC copies of The Long Road Home.

    The Long Road Home Hardcover had 4 covers total.

    Regular
    Amazon Exclusive
    Borders Exclusive
    Barnes and Noble Exclusive

    ( okay, so maybe I got two of each it's still a lot of covers! )

    John grabbed cool thumbnails of each here - http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...1&postcount=77 and you can check the King Comic Catalog for close-ups ( shameless plug )

    There's also a couple of Gunslinger Born in there someplace!

    Oh, I knew there were a few of them (though I haven't bought any yet). So if every bookstore did get their own cover you'd be in trouble, huh?

    Anyhow, you've got some nice books. You should start a collection thread sometime.
