Can you guys post some pics of the Fahrenheit 451? I'm still on the fence about this one, so maybe some pics will make me change my mind.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much about Easton...
Remember, they aren't a book publisher in the usual sense...they're basically a Franklin Mint collectible company with books as just one of many items, so their "customer service" is a mammoth phone bank, not somebody who knows too much about individual inventory items.
I'd like to see some pix too...I'm on the fence about buying this one now!
I am perfectly happy with my Sub Press books and would not hesitate to order from them when comfortable with the product-to-price equation.

Well I'm not going to try to quote everyone so I will just so thanks for all the great feedback. I was a little scared when I asked the question as I thought maybe it would turn into a bashing for subpress. Thank you everyone for keeping the responses positive and helpful!
After hearing all the positive responses I really....really....really...can't wait to get my first order from them...which I believe will not be until the summer.
This forum is primarily dedicated to collecting related to Stephen King. To my knowledge the only author thread we have is the Joe Hill thread. I'm not certain we are ready to have dedicated threads to any and every author in the Collecting market.
We have the "Other Authors You Collect" thread. I am open to listening to members opinions, but this thread will likely be merged today.
I think I agree with this. The Joe Hill thread should also be merged with the "Other authors...." thread as well.
By the way, Hunter, are you, by any chance, from the woods?
I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time - but i'd move the thread over to Dutch Hill. McCammon deserves his own thread and I see several threads there for other authors and not just their one book. Like I said, I could be wrong.....I still get lost in this place
I'd say merge it with the "Other Authors" thread. The thread in Dutch Hill is more concerned with the stories themselves and not the books, if that makes any sense.

Got my copy of FAHRENHEIT 451 today from Easton Press. Still not showing up on my credit card but I'm sure Easton hasn't forgotten about me.
Awesome. Thanks, Bob.
It's a nice book and I think fans of either Bradbury, this particular book or both would like it. Full leather front and back. Gold gilt page edges. Signed, of course, by Bradbury and numbered (700 copies total). About 9 or 10 decent enough illustrations in color and black and white (about half and half) by two different artists.
Book in the slipcase.
Spine.
Front board.
Back board.
A beautiful book!

Marvelous. It almost looks "hot to the touch".
Wow. Thanks, Bob. I might have to get me one of those...

Gotta say that looks terrific! Hope they actually send me a copy now. Wonder if they are indeed making them in batches. I figure that they do that with their "regular" books, but thought they would certainly print an entire limited edition in one run. Hmmm...
Question for the mods: Since the McCammon thread has been rolled over into the "Other authors....." thread, what are the thoughts on keeping the "Joe Hill, Author" thread standing separately? Is it because he is related to Stephen King? Other than that he is really no different from the hundreds (thousands?) of other published writers out there. Should that thread be merged into this one too?
I've always wondered that myself. Of course, I'm not a big fan of Hill's, so it doesn't really make that much difference to me one way or another.

Damn, i need my ´cheating from GD´ money back. Then i can order this beautiful book.

I like Joe Hill's books quite a bit but that doesn't mean he needs his own thread. The thing is, other authors are mostly discussed on this forum when they have a new book coming out. When there's no new book a dedicated author's thread gets little attention and will slowly drift back to the last page of The Corner. Having all 'other authors' together in a single thread keeps things nice & tidy and ensures a prominent place on the front page (IMO).
