Thanks very much for keeping that list, Ric #520.

Does anyone have any idea on how many of the WH Smith editions were done?

Does anyone else have the t-shirt for The Wind Through the Keyhole that Scribner produced? It's pretty cool looking and I can't remember if I've seen anyone posting about it.

Would really like to see what it looks like.

I like how it looks on the white shirt!

You know, I was thinking the same about the black t shirt!

From the SKMB:

Question:

I'm a member of LibraryThing.com (social network site for book freaks) and when I was adding my new copy of the Scribner edition of The Wind Through the Keyhole to my collected books today, I noticed the options for cover image included a version I'd not seen before. It looks just like the Scribner edition, but is missing the tiger, the cage and the person holding the lantern.

Does anyone know what the source of this cover is? Is there a variant cover to the Scribner edition? Or is this a foreign edition? Or perhaps some kind of error/preliminary release of incomplete artwork?

(I'll try to add an image here. The cover I'm talking about is the 1st/left one. As you can see, it matches the Scribner cover (3rd one), but has no tiger, cage or person-with-lantern). (Ignore the "high quality" and resolution dimensions in the lower-right of each cover image).

Thanks,

The copy of the image from the SKMB doesn't work here.

And Ms Mod's response:

Scribner did a limited edition but I don't have a copy handy to compare. My guess is that's what that is. For those wondering about the others, the second image is the Hodder edition cover and the last is the Donald M. Grant limited edition cover. If anyone else has information about the first image, feel free to jump in.

A Scribner limited edition??

[Tito_Villa]

Could it be similar to the W H Smith edition?

John, that same question was posted somewhere here as well (probably in the WTTKH forum) and me and several others thought the image posted was just the 'placeholder' pic that was shown online a while ago before the final cover art was revealed (like the unfinished Under the Dome art).

I did not hear about a Scribner limited either...

[jhanic]

Michaël, the poster at the SKMB said he had a copy. So it's more than a placeholder. My only guess would be that it's a proof dust jacket that somehow got distributed.

This is the thread I was referring to: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...gh-the-Keyhole
It seems to be the exact same question.

Are you sure he has a copy of the book with that particular DJ? The way I read it, he was adding the regular Scribner book to his book database (Library Thing) and the software offered him the possibility to use the 'variant' cover art he's asking about.

But if he does have an actual book with that DJ, I want one too! And I'm also interested to hear the specifics about a Scribner limited.
