PS Publishing - Stephen King Anniversary Editions

[MLG]

Below is from PS website:

EDITIONS
974 Jacketed Hardcovers [numbered 27–1000] in an illustrated Slipcase- Signed by Joe Hill — ISBN 978-1-786360-42-7 [£70]
26 Oversized JHC [lettered A–Z], with 2 lost chapters, in a Traycase - Signed by Joe Hill and David Stoupakis — ISBN 978-1-786360-43-4 [£495] [SOLD OUT]

How common a practice is this numbering pattern? I don't think I've ever seen one like it before. It seems like if you are lucky enough to collect Hill Limiteds that are numbered 1 - 26, you kind of get the short end of the stick as far as completing your collection. Just curious.

I am not really sure how common it is but I have seen it on more than this edition.

Have any folks on this side of the Atlantic received the lettered Skeleton Crew? I was led to believe that these would be distributed by the end of October. Then it was to be sometime in December. And I finally saw that they would be shipped in early January. Not here in Virginia yet.

I'm on the "other" side of the Atlantic, meaning Europe, and I still haven't received my copy either. Expecting delivery next week....But I lost track how often I thought this.
Not really sure why there's no shipping notice, including track&trace.

Wow, that's amazing. Misery loves company in many cases but that is really sad. I hope you get your copy before I get my mine...I just hope it arrives before the end of February!

Question for Pete...

In another thread there is a discussion on the Colorado Kid books, specifically the Unsigned Trade and the Artist Editions (not signed by King). At the time of release, there were two slipcases made available at an extra cost, one Green and one Blue.

The question is, which slipcase was matched with which set? The Catalog states Blue for AE and Green for Unsigned, but some members have theirs the other way around.

[stroppygoblin]

Spoke to Pete this morning, he has confirmed that the slipcases are as I stated above, ie:

Blue = AE set
Green = Unsigned set

Thanks again Pete!

Well...another two weeks have come and gone....and still no lettered Skeleton crew for the Netherlands.
Unfortunately, I don't even know the exact dat the books has bee shipped.
Again, no way to track its journey. Now I do hope Pete can track it from his side.
Pete?

I just received my copies and a customer I know got his in PA.

[Lookwhoitis]

posted this in the Hill thread but I thought I would repost here in hopes that I can find my number:

did anyone receive # 171 of the S/N LE of the Fireman?

I ordered my copy through Camelot books and my number was not matched even though they asked for it from PS Publishing.

Very disappointed as I have multiple other Joe Hill books including both editions of 20th Century Ghosts in 171

According to their newsletter, PS is selling 25 mint copies of THINNER that were kept in a box for decades.
Looks like they sell the copies Gerald found, upgrading them with a custom slipcase.

Ouch! I would buy one for 100 pounds, but it will be interesting to see if someone buys them. Wish Gerald would of sold them himself. OOH Well.

He did. To Pete obviously. I just cannot wrap my head around this... I will be surprised if many collectors step up and fall for this but you never know. Someone could need a mint copy to fill a hole in their collection... who knows!??

And I find it funny he says there are (were) 26... I remember Gerald's post and it was only 25 of them...

oh no you are right, they are 'lettering' them in an accompanying letter (not in the actual book)

[St. Troy]

Sounds like a hand-off to Dragon Rebound would be a good thing...

[RichardX]

Almost nothing surprises me when it comes to SK collecting prices, but this does a bit. It looks like you can get a mint copy of that book on ebay for less than $100. I don't blame PS though as they may sell them anyway. Maybe folks think there is something special about them because they were stored in Bangor and have a slipcase. They do look nice, but not that nice.

Wow.... £325 each. It will be interesting to see what "living in a box safe from harm and protected from sunlight" (mint) does to a collectible book worth around $100 Fine.

(And, of course, we can't direct all of the shock of the price to Pete / PS Publishing - it all depends on how much he paid for these from Gerald [or whoever] in the first place)...

Something tells me $200... but I might be wrong... I cannot remember 100%. Someone on here will as it was talked about.

OK. Just went hunting and saw the Facebook post on "Gerald Winters and Son" Facebook page. Thirteenth January the "Sold" post is announced for these Thinners. In the comments of this post, on the 14th January, Gerald actually responds to a question you ask Kris: "They were $425 each".

At today's exchange rate, $425 = £340. So, there must have been a bulk-discount applied, a wildly different exchange rate at the time of purchase, or PS are running at a loss (of course not)...

Cool! Thanks for the search brother. I would imagine a deal was made where Pete took them all. Just not sure why they need a letter?

[RC65]

The specific mention that it came from Bangor, Maine and has "rather appropriate provenance" could suggest to some -- those who do not hang out here and/or are unaware of Gerald's involvement -- that it came from King's own stash of author copies, thus arguably justifying the price. I'm not suggesting that Pete was intentionally misleading in his ad copy, but I can certainly how some could read it as such, which would be unfortunate.

[wolfehr]

Not just one letter! A note and then a letter confirming the individual letter. I'm a bit confused too.

These might be too good for one of those projects, since they would be stripped down to the page block anyway. Might as well pay less for copies that have issues with areas except the page block. Though obviously defer to Paul on all things Dragon Rebound
