My goodness Rachel has some talent eh? The best damm piece in that book is hers of the boys around the fire. The perspective with the trees is fantastic. Reminds me a bit of the piece "The Clearing" by Whelan. That is NOT an easy task for any artist. That alone makes me want this...

Well, we are over $1K! Can we keep the excitement (bids) going?
This is just so awesome. Using Glen as the emboss drawing artist was genius.
Was there a production diary of this?
weird, I was the winning bidder for about 40mins yesterday, but never got an email that I was outbid. I thinks its past my limit, but if it was a limited edition I would definitely go for it. Will be fun to watch this one.

Ok, this is a really creative piece. So awesome. Travelin' Jack is jumpin' in! I brought some gold coin back from the territories and much like my good buddy Speedy would say, "Them pockets are feelin' mighty deep."

I hope you are saying this tongue in cheek, otherwise I have to respectfully disagree. If you count this as a limited edition, then you have to count that monstrosity someone posted on the eBay thread a few weeks ago (the Richard Bachman omnibus that was made into what looks like a Halloween prop). I would say it needs its own ISBN to be a legit limited edition, and should be made out of new material (by material, I mean paper), not reconstructed out of previously released books.
No offense to this item or other items like this offered on this site. They are beautiful, and I understand why people would want them. But as someone who hopes to be a completist when it comes to limited editions, this just doesn't meet the requirments in my mind. For me buying this would be a slippery slop. The only way to keep my spending under control is to draw a line. This is why I didn't buy Paul's stuff (until he created Suntup Press).
So this being a beautiful (set of) book, is why I wish it fit (at least my) definition of a limited edition.

I never called it a limited edition.
The description doesn't say that.
It has Jerome's name permanently bound in it.
That, by default, makes it Limited!
However...
had Mr. King signed it and written "limited edition 1/1"...
I don't recall that "The Plant", The Philtrum's Press edition of "The Eyes of the Dragon", "New Lieutenant's Rap", "Dolan's Cadillac", and "Letters From Hell" to name a few had an ISBN.
Would you say that any/all of the above items are not Limited Editions?
Holy Crap!!!

Ok, then add the qualifier "or Stephen King was directly involved in the approval process/production/distribution of the book". I believe all those examples were the first time any of stories saw print, and in some cases the only. (if The Plant or NLR have seen print in a non limited edition. let me know, as I would love to read them).
Sure you can say 1/1 is limited, but I think you have to differentiate between unique items and limited items. If you count unique items with the limited editions, then it pretty much a certainty that no one will ever have a complete set of limited editions. So basically I don't count rebound editions as limited editions. If the physical content (pages) came from another publisher, (and it wasn't already a limited edition), then I can't call it a limited edition for the sake of completeness.
I certainly don't see any Overlook Connection editions listed in the catalog. (or did I miss them?)

Just a note. No SubPress books get ISBNs but they are all sold as limited editions
I think it would be best for a very feel good auction for a very feel good purpose if we channeled the definition of a King S/L to another thread.
We have several related threads where a spirited discussion can be had.
Feel free to use the search option.
Can't resist the one last thing...
If Mr. King had written in the book (one of the four) "I'm Stephen King and I approved of this Limited edition"....signed...dated by King...
P.S.
Turn to the last page for an excerpt from a new story I wrote.
