I ordered one and was confirmed for Copy "C." However, soon thereafter I found myself in a situation where I could not in good conscience justify the cost, so I e-mailed the publisher and was able to release my order and get it refunded. I realize that's neither here nor there as far as this thread is concerned, but I thought I'd pop my head in as an "almost" member of the elite set!

from the pictures I would have to say that the quality is no where near CD's productions.

To clarify - I stated my opinion based upon pictures. I do not own a copy nor do I ever plan on owning one.

jonp
12-13-2014, 01:14 PM
Having both books at hand. Carrie is a very well produced book, feels more individual, more special and feels a more traditional hand produced book. Similar value to the The Gunslinger S/L, given the choice between the two I would always choose PS's Carrie, as The Gunslinger to me is nothing out of the ordinary. I must admit of all the lettered books I have CD's IT was my favourite. The huge scale of the book is impressive and also it is very well produced. Carrie and It are very different productions and I am finding it very difficult to choose now which is my favourite, but I am leaning towards It. Also, it's much cheaper too!

EDIT: believe me when I say it's very difficult to choose between the two, as with Dr Sleep I do not have my copy in hand so I cannot comment of that particular book.

I would think it would be difficult to ascertain or draw conclusions about the quality of materials and construction from pictures. Would need to defer to those that have a copy to provide the most accurate feedback.

My thinking is that the more you pay for an edition the more you should get for your money. From what I have seen of IT Lettered from CD looks like it is worth the price tag. I guess I am trying to figure out aside from the limited amount of copies what about this edition of Carrie makes it worth the price tag. Is it the materials? Bonus content? What is different about it from say a standard Lettered edition?

I disagree. For a start Stephen King's name isn't even positioned centrally on the front cover, which makes it look lop sided against the silhouette and title...

http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/fenpad/IMG_3825_zpsa057be2c.jpg

Secondly, the artwork inside the book is precariously glued in at the top edge. Not only does this look bad, but the artwork will become detached in no time at all...

http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/fenpad/IMG_3850_zpscfa1094b.jpg

IMHO I think Kingfan24 is spot on with his suggestion that it's not a patch on CD's Lettered Editions.

For the money, I would much sooner buy TWO Stephen King Lettered Editions from CD, for the price that this version cost...

IMO, any King signed Lettered Edition of 26 copies will always be worth more than any 52 copy Lettered edition.

By that rationale, The 15 copy Lettered Edition of Danse Macabre would be worth more than PS Publishing's 26 copy Lettered Edition of Carrie.

However, according to stephenkingcollector.com, the Lettered Edition of Danse Macabre is valued between $1,500 - $2,000, less than half the cost of PS Publishing's Carrie.

That's fair.

Honestly, the highest quality Lettered Edition I own isn't from PS or CD.

It's the Lettered Green Mile from SP. Absolutely best-in-class. In my humble opinion anyway.

It all boils down to what materials and quality components are important to the respective owner.

Good dialogue.

Yes, the 15 copy Lettered Edition of Danse Macabre is worth at least $10,000 and its is exactly the same as the numbered edition. You will never find one for sale. There are 2 Asbestos Firestarters on sale on Abe, and the quality and build of these is not great.

Materials and build quality do not matter when it comes to collecting King. The most expensive items are the least "fancy". The Plant and New Lieutenant's Rap are examples.

I have a few PS Publishing traycased editions, including the "deluxe" Colorado Kid, so I'm well aware that high-end production quality isn't their forte. Therefore, I was very presently surprised by the overall presentation of the lettered Carrie. Yes, I have books by other publishers that are of an equal standard that cost 10 times less, and books of much higher quality that cost a third of the price, but Carrie is of a sufficiently high grade to sit comfortably alongside other King lettered editions.

For me, the production design was never going to wholly justify the cost. The two factors that persuaded me to buy it were the significance of the title, King's debut novel, and the tiny limitation.

I don't buy lettered editions of the CD titles because there is a numbered edition as well. I can't justify spending $2,000 more on what is essentially the same book, just with slightly better binding and a slightly better traycase. There's still, say, 800 signed copies available in total, a few of them just have a couple more bells and whistles. But with Carrie, these 26 copies are it, the only signed limited edition you can get.

For me, the fact that it was published via a UK publisher diminishes the value somewhat. Sort of like how the UK Harry potters are worth much more than their U.S. counterparts. Just my opinion though.

And in all fairness, I could never justify spending 4,200 on one book. To me that seems outrageous.

I don't have any kids, so I don't follow children's fiction, but I would assume that if the UK editions are more valuable it is because they were published first, not because they are from the author's home country.


And in all fairness, I could never justify spending 4,200 on one book. To me that seems outrageous.

It just happened to be the right book at the right time for me. I was fortunate to have the money and it was a book I felt worthy of the cost. If it a had been a lesser book, such as, Thinner or one for which a limited edition was already available, like Skeleton Crew, I would have passed.

I posted this in the PS Publishing thread this morning and I'll post it here again:


I like the way it looks (the glued-in artwork). It gives the book a certain vintage quality, IMO.

Also (again, IMO) it's getting a little old to equate the price of a book with its production values. Not one book (trade, numbered, lettered) is made of 'stuff' that is truly worth the asking price. No one here actually believes that a lettered IT is worth >$2,000 in materials, right? A numbered set of The Plant (not even talking about a lettered set here) is worth more than a lettered Carrie and I hear no one whining about that, even though they're just little softcover chapbooks. A lettered Danse Macabre goes for at least as much as a lettered IT and it is nothing more than a trade edition with a limitation page.

I'm not saying that production values shouldn't be taken into account - if that is what matters to you as a buyer/collector! - but print run, popularity, significance, 'mythology/lore' all play equally important parts.

Bottom line: if the owners of the lettered Carrie are happy with their books, the price was exactly right.

The 15-copy of Danse is not worth $10K...is that a typo?

Maybe $3K - if you could find a buyer. Nobody cares about that book, for the reason you mentioned - it's the same as the limited edition except with a letter.

As for "Carrie," I h-a-t-e tipped in artwork like that. It's penny-pinching and sets the book up for a flaw over time.

However, the price is not crazy - it is what it is. The problem with pricing/value for lettered editions is that there's no inherent value. It hasn't earned any sort of value over time, and the scarcity is artificial and deliberately contrived. Which can't be helped - that's the way the SK lettered market is now.

Rahfa
12-14-2014, 12:44 PM
Well, not recently, but I have seen it for sale - and it certainly wasn't priced at $10K. Granted, that was years ago.

I just don't think the book has the panache to get that price - but if you're willing to pay it, then I guess it does.

The "Transgressions" s/l has only 200 copies, is signed by many authors, and goes for $350 on a good day. I don't think numbers equal value as much as interest does.

EDIT: Apparently one was part of a big collection listed thru Betts in 2006 - don't know if it sold individually or not.

Don't wish to officially speak for Mr. Rabbit Trick, but 2006 was quite some time ago, and I still believe "panache" or not (plain boring presentation), were the book to come up on ebay, the price would be $10K+, and then the auction would be removed for an "error in listing".
Supply and demand.
I don't want the book, but 15 people have it-likely none will be sold until they die, and at least 3 people (with the financial wherewithal) want it.

I only have one copy of the lettered Danse Macabre and although I hate to sell anything I just have one of-if someone offers me $10K, I would really have to do it. With just 15 lettered editions, very tough to find.
I plan to sell it before I die-I hope!

Rahfa
12-14-2014, 06:07 PM
Well - I'll just say this...for all my time on this site and DT.com, I can remember exactly zero times where anyone talked about the Danse Macarbe lettered edition as being THE preeminent lettered edition of them all. And if we're saying it's worth $10K, then it's in second place behind the Asbestos Firestarter? Really?

To keep it on topic, I would say I'm a little disappointed in the whole traycase model of the Carrie lettered - I'm not sure how else to do it, but I do know that nobody's tried something unique like the zippered Skeleton Crew or even the Regulators toybox in a long time. The Salem's lettered edition went big, which was neat, but not unique.

Pasiuk57
12-14-2014, 06:15 PM

Think of the lettered Firestarter, Skeleton Crew and Regulators-amazing items in my opinion-real unique-even the Stand and S/L Regulators are pretty cool.

The 2006 copy that you are referring to was part of Chris Cavalier's collection. It was #C / 15, contained the glassine wrapper, slipcase and came with the original mailing box from Everest House. It sold for $1800. Granted it was 8 years ago, but I don't feel that this book would command $10K+ today irregardless of how often it comes up for sale. If you think it does, I will gladly trade you one for a Lettered Regulators and a Lettered Skeleton Crew.

Yes, and rightly so. I'd be nervous too. But on the other hand, maybe it's just being delayed because of the holidays... Check in with Pete to see what he says about it. Let's be positive, and it will arrive in the next few days. I've had boxes from the UK take 10 days to 2 weeks to show up.

Easy! Especially as they have quite a xmas backlog.
Not the best idea to send such a book while chrismas-post-chaos but no worries below 4 weeks

normally it should be 10-14 working days, but at this time of the year it can easy be more.

I received my copy today. given the production values and the cost of the book, i do not see me purchasing the next two books in the series at this price. Or any where close to this price.

1. carrie was a very important book in the king legacy, thinner and skeleton crew not so much

2. Skeleton crew has already been done.

3. I am completely underwhelmed by the appearance and quality of this production. I liked the cases with velvet on other lettered editions or whatever that surround the books in the tray cases. The tray case is nothing special and wording is off center. Thanks to who ever pointed that out, drives me crazy

4. I was surprised by the size of my original drawing by chadbourne, I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't expecting a small little drawing. I guess I assumed incorrectly that I would also be getting a Remarque original in my book. I need to read the find print next time before I purchase.

5. Can't stand the pasted down drawings. Why. Why. Why?

I do not have buyers remorse. I was expecting a rolls Royce and feel like I got a honda accord. I just can't see spending that kind of money on thinner or other "lesser" books in the series.

Not complaining. Just stating my opinion.

I absolutely love it.

While I agree that there are specific aesthetic improvements that can and should have been made (many have been mentioned here), my impression as to the quality of MATERIALS used for both the traycase and the book is that they are second-to-none.

For those that have a copy, were you surprised by the weight of the book? I consider it very heavy given the small scale of the book itself. Much heavier that what I anticipated which could be a direct result of the quality of materials used. Maybe, maybe not. But, heavy and substantial for its size nevertheless.

The bonus book of remarques (similar to Vincent Chong's sketch book for the Shining) was a nice touch and the original Chadbourne art will proudly be displayed on my shelf.

Finally, as for the much debated process for mounting the artwork in the book, I actually love what Pete has done. Very unique. Highly unlikely that the pages will fall out since I doubt that any of us will actually read our Deluxe Edition. Even if we did, the artwork isn't going anywhere.

All, in all, very pleased but recognize that the perceived quality and inherent value will forever be up to the 26 respective owners. Each of us will likely have different viewpoints.

I really like it as well. It really feels like a beautifully traditional hand made book that a lot of skill has gone into making it, more so than any other book I own. When I get home I will have to compare the weight to a similar book. I didn't really notice the weight. I like the way you have displayed the artwork and prom ticket separately. I may have to copy you with that.

So my question is...

is there a Remarque in our books? I don't think there is. I do not see a Remarque in the book. We have a separate piece of art that was shipped to us with our book. I do not consider that a Remarque. RF already has another piece of art separate from ours. Maybe Chadbourne can do more art from Carrie for us! I thought the Idea of a Remarque was that it was in the book. Ship the books to Chadbourne from England to US do the art and ship back! That would explain the $4250 price tag. That would make each book truly unique.

Actually (I know, I know, I am continuing to beat a dead horse) the definition of a remarque isn't a drawing inside of a book. It is a lithographic term describing a small drawing or sketch in the margin of a plate that is removed after a few printings. But this is what comes when words or terms are improperly used. As it is used now (especially on tdt.org) the word remarque can mean anything the user wants it to mean. So Pete can call the original drawings on separate pieces of paper remarques if he wants to. Why he would want to is a whole different question. He should know better but, hey, these are as much remarques as any other original drawing or artwork is, I guess.

Thank You!

this is the type of information I was looking for! I was seriously just trying to understand what I was getting! People assumed I was unhappy or wanted a refund. I was just trying to understand what a Remarque was and how it fit into what I purchased. The most I ever spent on a book before was $1700. Stephen kings the stand! And I knew what I was getting.

$4250 is a lot of money!

My opinion is that the value of any Stephen King limited edition, will increase regardless of the artist involved, as long as the artist in question is the artist that is/was involved with the limited edition in question. Whether the market is flooded with Glen's work or not is irrelevant in the world of collectors who value remarries of such artists in their books. I, for one, have been very pleased to work with Glen, and others, and have loved the way Glen has let me help shape the work he has done for me. No reason to sound defensive with your legitimate comment.

You do realize he's just about personally Remarque'd every SK title.
Please don't take my response as a personal attack, not my intention.

I know I'm probably going to catch shit for this but oh well here goes.....
If the SK market is flooded with Chadbourne "art", and his work is decreasing in value daily, why oh why would you send your $4K+ book to be "Re-whateveryouchoosetocallit'd" ?
Just my opinion.

My opinions change daily but I can officially say Glenn Chadbourne Rocks!!! He offered to remarque (or whatever you call it) our lettered Carrie books for free!!!! He saw my comments contacted Merlin and Randall directly. Although i will not take him up on the offer. I prefer to keep my books in the 1st state, IE as issued instead of adding remarques, pictures, etc... this is my personal preference....

But Cook is offering up a valid point, when i first purchased a limited edition signed book and Cemetery DAnse contacted me about adding a remarque (or value added art) from Glen Chadbourne (FUll dark no stars), i was just learning about this process. I contacted several very respected members on this site and they stated as for as increase in investment, planning purposes a remarque from a very prolific artist would not increase the value of the book.

by increase, i mean above and beyond the cost of the remarque. my understanding is that the scarcity of the art helps increase value.
I chose at that time not to do remarques!

I don't think that anyone who dealt with Glenn can deny he's a super great guy. But I also find hard to believe that someone says that the SK market is not flooded with his stuff...IMO, that's not an impression: it's a fact. In 10 years he became the illustrator that worked the most with books King related.

Art is subjective but I think Bob Jackson nailed it when he mentioned why he didn't get this book. I'm 100% SURE that this book's reception would have been far more celebrated if there was a Whelan involved. Yes, Glenn is probably less expensive to comision than Michael Whelan, but in a $4200+ book, I think the published could have spent a little more in the production.

I agree 100% with every word you said. Not only that... I would have bought that book no question should Whelan been the artist. NO QUESTION... I think a lot more of them would have found a home here in the TD.ORG universe.

Of course spend your money as you see fit, but every artist that has food on his/her table is prolific. Glenn has just chosen to concentrate on the "Horror" genre. BTW, he says to say "Hi"!!!

I suppose their are four possible explanations:

1. Jerome stole it from Glenn.
2. Jerome bought it from Glenn.
3. Pete decided Glenn was not entitled to one and gave or sold it to Jerome.
4. Through an amazing set of circumstances, the USPS delivered Glenn's book to Jerome by mistake.

I think explanation#2 is most feasible.

Hmmmmm....

I remember way back up the thread how upset some got when Pete announced that the "PC" copies were not going to be signed and how badly Glenn wanted his book and how upset he would be if it wasn't signed.

Had to be because he was planning to pass it on....Tippy is probably right

I am guessing it is more of a joint custody thing, Jerome has Carrie on the weekends and Glenn during the week because of school. Glenn you may want to think about home schooling, just saying! :P

The #4 PC copy is obviously in transit between Glenn and Jerome and currently in the hands of USPS.

However, I am more concerned about this statement: :o
