I ordered one too (with a 20% discount coupon from CD, which somewhat mitigates the shipping costs to Europe )

Great interview Bev. Thanks

I just got my paperback today from Amazon.
A nice surprise as I had forgotten I'd pre-ordered it!
Looking good Bev, I'm sure I will enjoy getting stuck into this later.
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they did.

Delivered already? That's pretty cool -- publication day is April 2. I guess it's not a hard and fast pub date.

Finished my copy last night. Terrific book! Any hardcore Dark Tower fan should have it.
My favorite sections were probably the ones dealing with the comics. I'm not a huge fan of the comics on the whole, but it was terrific to read more about the process behind making them.
Glad to hear it. I was fascinated by that too but was worried that I might be the only one!

Definitely not. I was especially interested in the sections in which the various interviewees discussed how the art evolved in relation to the scripts. I read a good many comics; nowhere near enough to even consider calling myself an expert, but enough so that I feel like I've got more than a layman's grasp on how they work. So I'd been assuming that the DT comics worked basically the same way: the writer writes a script, and serves basically as the director for the artist. Some artists will have more control/input than others, and some comics are more collaborative than others; but in many cases, it really is a case of the artist following the writer's lead.
So finding out that the DT comics haven't entirely worked that way was highly interesting to me.
Well done!
Thanks!

Another nice review, which says in part: Bev Vincent is able to speak with authority on the subject without talking down to the readers. In fact, he is so fluent in Mid-World, one gets the feeling he has gone through a doorway and visited. Really, you have the sense that he’s been there. -- David Squyres, Talk Stephen King

Could you tell us what additional material is in the limited edition as compared to other editions. The latest CD email states that there is additional text.
Thanks.
