OMG!
Go and read it NOW!
I don't know if I can afford 2 x $450!
We all float down here!
Hopefully I'll be able to snag a limited but that lettered better be encrusted in diamonds or something
(I guess the limited would only have cubic zirconia)
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I own one of SubPress' lettereds - it's a very nice edition, but I can't even begin to imagine what they'll have to come up with to justify spending $2500.00! For now, it's a no-show for me.

If I could afford to collect Lettered editions I would. Some of them are amazing.
I just can't justify the cost to myself.

I disagree. When I got the limited edition I was very disappointed with the look and quality (the "leather" used for the design seemed cheap and gaudy - I much preferred the unsigned edition over the limited), so much so that I sold my limited and upgraded to a lettered instead. Again, opinions regarding quality are bound to be subjective, but I was much happier with the lettered edition (I really loved the marbled covers). Either way, I'm sure Subterranean Press will come up with an interesting design that will hopefully somewhat justify the price.That would be very worrying. The limited of The Green Mile is much better quality than the lettered IMO. The limiteds are quarter bound in leather, the lettereds are just cloth.

I have to imagine Jerad was pissed, or at the very least extremely disappointed, to hear that Subterranean Press is publishing this...Art is a very subjective medium and it can be difficult to find a balance between expectations and execution. Based on her website samples I'm not convinced Dagmara Matuszak is the right artist for The Shining. Part of that concern is on the sheer number of pieces (40) that are to be included in the book. Sometimes less is more and my preference would be for a cover image, title page image, and five part opener images. The Shining is a very stark, stripped down story and the art should reflect that mood. I was fortunate to see much of the design Centipede Press had planned for their limited of The Shining and that is the standard I will measure the Subterranean version against. Not a criticism; just an observation.

I hear that!!! I would pass on the sub press and go for the Dr. Sleep Ltd at those prices.

I would do just the opposite! The shining scared me to death when i was younger. I dont stay at hotels becuz of that book! DR Sleep appears to have run into some trouble, editing or otherwise, why else would they pospone for 9 or so months! The Shining is one of my top 3 favorite books.I hear that!!! I would pass on the sub press and go for the Dr. Sleep Ltd at those prices.
Well of course, to each his/her own!!! Course, you really don't know what horrors "Dr. Sleep" has in store!!!I would do just the opposite! The shining scared me to death when i was younger.

The lettered GREEN MILE is beautiful but I would never pay > $2,000 for a book only because it has great production values. Whereas I would gladly pay hundreds of dollars for an obscure college-era magazine with a short story by Mr King. Weird, huh?
It's scarcity/obscurity that makes my collector's heart tick, I guess... not top-notch materials and King's signature. Although I do like some of the 'classic' S/Ls and the Philtrum Press books.
But back on topic: I guess SubPress will have to come up with an awesome limited if they want to surpass what Centipede could have done.
Can anyone find any information about the Shining on Subterannean Press website? Am I missing something? DO i smell a conspiracy?
As I understand it there will be a formal announcement/order opportunity in January.

i would of thought that they would have had it in their news section, or a frontline banner or something! I only see it on the SK website.
This is all they have right now Link
Thanks for finding that for me. I was getting worried somebody changed their minds.
The Shining S/L from Subterranean Press
RF,
I can't open that link. What does it go to?
Never mind..I got it to work.
