I must say I am not thoroughly impressed with the Artist Edition in any way shape or form.... if you ask me 80 bucks was a bit too much...

Then why post????????????????

[Thelangoleer]

Haha its not that I am mad or anything I just thought it may be different you know? The S/L had the same dj just came in a different traycase - the least grant could have done was number them or something - the way they did it with the talisman/black house set or LSOE

just my humble opinion merlin i didn't mean to offend...

[Merlin1958]

No offense taken!!! Nice volumes!!!!!

I don't own any editions of The Little Sisters Of Eluria or The Wind Through The Keyhole, but I really really wanna run my fingers over the traycase/book. :(

[Shannon]

I LOOOOVE that Monkey remarque.

[Thelangoleer]

Shannon i have to tell you I am in LOVE with the slipcase and book texture, if they were going for the dragon (reptile??) scales they NAILED it - and honestly the Monkey remarque blew me away when I got it back from him

I wouldn't consider this a S/L - it is a facsimile signature. This would be more like a Gift Edition.

Sorry, but S/L means Signed Limited. And it was never marketed as signed:

TITLE: 11.22.63
A NOVEL by Stephen King
PUBLICATION DATE: November 2011
EDITION: Slipcased Hardcover with DVD written and narrated by Stephen King, which will take you back to the Kennedy-era America.
PRINT RUN: 700 with deluxe binding, photographic endpapers and with author's facsimile signature.
ISBN: 978-1-444744-57-6

But you can call it whatever you want...it is your collection

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice to see those King books out of the shrinkwrap. Some people are just too weird to take the shrinkwrap off, can you believe it!

[Thelangoleer]

Hey my theory is - if you are going to spend money on something you "enjoy" you need to enjoy them to the fullest right?

[ELazansky]

I hate arguing over semantics but if you look on the limitation page... it explicitly says.. "limited" also it is "signed" be it facsimile or not therefore I would call it "Signed"/"Limited"

no offense taken

It is all good. Like I said, it is your book, so you can call it what you like. The book is not listed as part of TDT's Signed Limited collection - http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Complete+list+of+Stephen+King+S igned+Limiteds, which is what I have been using to build my collection, so I'll look at it as a Gift Edition.

[Shannon]

Limited, yes. I personally consider anything under 10,001 copies "limited". Signed to me means signed. Pen to paper. Original signature. Facsimile signatures don't count. If so, a few of the first editions have SK's signature hot stamped on the book itself. Not signed.

[Brice]

Shannon, it is frightening, but some people try to sell those hotstamped books on ebay as signed every once in awhile.

[Thelangoleer]

Just received these today from Tippy!

Very, very nice congrats!!!!

:clap::clap::clap:


On a side note, and I mean no disrespect to you or your acquisition Lang, is this where S/L's are heading? Scribner slaps a sticker and a sig inside a determinate amount of books and there ya go? Woeful!!! Of course it is still a SK signed book I suppose and a little more affordable. Maybe that's the point.

[Thelangoleer]

Well it is different than the trade edition right? The DJ is different, the boards are different - in no way shape or form am i saying it is comprable to any cemetery dance s/l or anywhere else because it isn't, but i mean i would call it limited because only 850 have been produced like this as opposed to the millions of trade first printings.

[ELazansky]

It may be a S/L, but after what went on during the sale of that book, a lot of us are a bit put off by Scribner's "Signed Limited" editions. I'm happy to have one, but it certainly isn't the most exciting S/L edition I own.

[Merlin1958]

Well it is different than the trade edition right? The DJ is different, the boards are different - in no way shape or form am i saying it is comprable to any cemetery dance s/l or anywhere else because it isn't, but i mean i would call it limited because only 850 have been produced like this as opposed to the millions of trade first printings.

I apologize, I should never have posted here. It was just an observation of the "Edition" and not meant to take away from your "collectible", my bad!!!! It was totally off the "top of my head" and nothing more!!! Truly, a WONDERFUL acquisition!!!!!! My apologies!!!

[Brice]

I disagree!










:P



Very nice collection. I especially like that monkey remarque.

[Thelangoleer]

So I just spent 485 on the following

Carrie 1/1 in pristine dj - book has a few slight issues
Salem's lot in second state jacket - pristine book in nf jacket
Carrie 1/1 signet paperback

Did I get a good deal here with the market the way it is?

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Shannon]

From what I can see, it looks good to me. Minor edgewear/tears, nothing too major. Congrats.

Nice New Additions!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I agree with Shannon, but you'll have more room if you display them in a bookshelf instead of spread out like that all over the house.

[Shannon]

lol!

[Thelangoleer]

LOL I am trying to find a book shelf suitable for King's master works :p

Super Congrats on the "Carrie",
Very hard to find in excellent condition, regardless of the price

so I finally did it... i broke down and opened (ever so slightly to keep the wrap intact elsewhere) my S/L Gunslinger audio to find out what number I had...

That's a pretty neat item. Give it to me. (Hey, I tried!)

:) I have one of these. I like it. It's ... different, lol.
