The Wind Through the Keyhole-Collecting Discussion

[Randall Flagg]

1. I think we should stick with Grant for consistency and because Grant produces the first editions of these books.

2. Those thumbnails are links to the actual book discussion subforums, aren't they? (It's been a while since I clicked on them.) If so, would a LSOE thumbnail link the same subforum as DTI?

The images actually link to the Catalog entry for the specific title. Just beneath the thumbnails there is a link that says "Book Discussion". That links to the Baronies where each book has a discussion thread.

Despite the fact Scribner's cover is oodles better, the Grant is the first edition so that's the cover that should be used.

Wasn't 5,6, & 7 Artist Editions the true first as well? If so, shouldn't they be the covers representing the story?

The original thought was to display the first Trade edition of each title.

Thanks for the clarification, Jerome.

I'd like to see the DMG S/L covers (first volume for the two-volume books) depicted, but that's just me. Never thought about the AE's vs. the Trades, Ralph. I'm fine with any DMG cover as long there is some sort of logic to it.

I hope others chime in with their thoughts as well.

The AE editions were the first.

[Randall Flagg]

The AE editions were the first.

But they were not the first Trade edition.

You should probably remain consistent and go with the Grant covers. As far as LSOE goes, to me once it was married by Grant to "The Gunslinger" that made it officially a DT story in my book.

Totally out of the blue, but this just got me thinking about Talisman and BH. In Talisman Jack flips to the "Territories", but in BH he flips to Roland's world. I gotta go find me a thread...........................LOL

Yay! After an exhausting 10 hour drive due to snow and accidents that blocked the highway from Dallas to Alamogordo, I'm tucked into the hotel. Signed in to the computer to see that Karen (or her minion) sent me my order confirmation for the AE. Sadly, I don't have <800 of TLOE, so I'll have to get my postcard in for the lottery, that'll be the only way I can get it. I can barely afford directly from Grant, let alone after-market. Maybe someday I can get myself a consistently numbered full series, but I've had a lot of fun, excitement & misery in working my way up from the trade edition of DT 2 - 4, Money enough to preorder the AE for DT5 & 6, and FINALLY getting called in the 6th lottery (starting with DT2 at age 15 or so) I'd entered on DT7 for copy #1487 or so, lucked out again for LSOE and got up to copy #100x. We'll see if I get 3rd time lucky this time around.

Shelving this, I'll likely put it AFTER the original seven. Next time I reread the series though, I'll take my cue from SK initial announcement and I'll probably read it in between 4 & 5........the next time I begin my trip through the desert with Roland.

Is there an artwork difference between the Deluxe Edition and the Artist Edition?

No.

[NeedfulKings]

This may have been asked, but will the Grant Artist Edition be similar in size to the seven main editions or oversized like LSOE? I'm hoping for the former.

Who will be the first to get a proof?

It's my understanding it will be similar in size to the first 7 DT books.

I love all of the covers of Grants AE editions they look far better than any of the trade edition's covers. Butthis time around the trade of TWTTK has the AE edition of Grants beat. Grants AE edition looks like something Marvel came up with for them.

I'm pretty sure you're referring to the US trade editions.
But have a look at this Swedish cover: my favorite by far, easily beating any of the Grant editions.

Of course, Bev is out of the line, because i bet that he did already read a manuscript and will get a proof before anyone else.

Steve Stone. He's an amazing artist! Wish he would do the Wind Through the Keyhole cover!

He's also responsible for the artwork of the 2003 Viking reissues of DTI-IV. An amazing artist indeed.

[Jimimck]

Oh he did that awesome cover for The Waste Lands. Yeah he should have done the new one for Grant!

You're right, Then again "Eeeeeeeeee, and sneetch's" kinda take the shine off, no?

Very nice artwork indeed!
Got myself the DT 5-6-7 hardcovers from Sweden. Pretty expensive but very nice
