Little Sisters of Eluria (Revised Gunslinger)

[weathervane7]

Here's another definition, but actually the same opinion:idea:

http://www.cortezart.com/remarque.html

[Nerak]

Yep Karen, Michael and Audrey are out in LA...then off to Arizona then New Mexico. They will be back on the 17th; I'm holding down the fort. I guess that means PARTY here! I'm selling all art at a special discount, come one, come all. :evil: :)
j/k

Will drop an Oy for you when I see Michael.


Thanks Bob (it is Bob, right???)

And Patrick, I didn't see yours, but I didn't look at all of them.

[carlosdetweiller]

Out of curiosity I looked for the definition of Remarque due to the discussion about Doodles & Remarques. Here's what I found.

http://www.ask.com/bar?q=Remarque+proof&page=1&qsrc=167&zoom=Erich+Maria+%3CKW%3ERemarque%3C%2FKW%3E+Biogr aphy%7CDefine+%3CKW%3ERemarque%3C%2FKW%3E%7CWhat+I s+a+%3CKW%3ERemarque%3C%2FKW%3E+Print&ab=5&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goettner.com%2Fglossary.htm

:doh:

That is the point I have been trying to get across. Remarque is a term for lithographs. I am still not sure how it has come to be used for every little drawing someone does in a book. Oh well.

Where will they be in New Mexico? I remember Audrey telling me they were maybe doing some work with a gallery in Santa Fe, if its Sante Fe can you say what gallery and when? Dave

I'd also like to know the New Mexico itinerary. It's possible I could drive over to Albuquerque or Santa Fe. I'd love to meet them in person.

[weathervane7]

I've been looking all am as I was emailed by a couple of people who were not happy with my term "Remarque" which caused me to revise my listing several times:cry: & the definition is still the same. It is also what caused me to come here & post as it seems my LSOE & others were a hot topic according to another couple of other sources Oh well, I only went with "Remarque" because that's how every one else describes theirs & I'm not revising my listing again. Here's yet another definition & that's the end of it for me;

A definition is whatever something is commonly defined as.

Since on TDT a remarque has come to define any drawing in a book by the artist, then that's what a remarque is, here anyway.

We have had quite a passionate debate about the "evolving" definition of the word.

[Chooch]

Yes please keep posting weathervane7..you'll be amazed at the people you run into here :excited::nana:

I am pretty sure she is saying she is no longer employed.....not retiring from this site.

Welcome weathervane7. Good to see you here.

[Ari_Racing]

Karen, any updates on the foreign multiple orders? :)

Pleeeease! :D I can't take this anxiety anymore! :panic:

[Brice]

She decided it would just be easier and cheaper to just mail them all to North Carolina. :innocent:

The gallery is:

Sorry, I do not know their itinerary, so I cannot tell you when they will be there.

Pleeeease! :D I can't take this anxiety anymore! :panic:

Still haven't gotten that far.

Working on regular orders. Should have those done today. Don't know what's next...

[PlayPhish]

Unfortunately, there is no real set itinerary. Their daughter was getting her doctorate from CalTech, then they were going to visits friends in Tucson and go to the Gem and Mineral show. From there over to the Chiricahua's then to visit friends in Albuquerque, maybe Los Alamos and White Sands, Santa Fe and home.

[wizardsrainbow]

Well, my long awaited package arrived, in just 1 day!

Here is what I opened:

No remarques of any kind! :( But...I am missing two artists editions, so just maybe.

[carlosdetweiller]

That is an impressive amount of LSOE's. Congratulations. I am still in waiting mode.

[e_taylor]

Lucky! :excited:

I still haven't been charged yet!

[tippy4]

I knew you would get yours before I did. You east-coasters have all the luck.

Well, assumming mine went UPS, I should be opening mine in about 60 hours.

Is the interior of the clamshell case some kind of cloth?

Tippy, yes, it has a "brushed" feel to it.

[Nerak]

Tippy, we only ship UPS to local customers, everyone else went media mail. Sorry

[Airtraffic]

Media Mail...I should get mine some time next year...the last thing ship to my APO 1st class took 35 days.....LOL...owell.

That's a lot of books. I'm surprised none of them had a remarque doodle in it given your luck.

[tippy4]

Bummer.

Oh well. Good things come to those who wait.

Remarques-a-plenty for me!

I can feel it!

:P

[Rahfa]

Even with that many AE's, the actual percentage of remarques is SO small. Shows how hard it is...sux...I was rooting for you...but your 'relationship' should lead to future opportunites, so...

I have to say I'm glad I'm not really an artisit collector...it will make the disappointment slightly easier to take...

Might be on the road tomorrow...so we'll see what the day brings!

[sentinel]

Got my three copies today! Beautiful Job! No remarques!
3 Cheers for Grant!:dance:

[Patrick]

Congratulations, you guys. Impressive line-up you've got there, Wiz!

Like tippy, I'm waiting for that media mail to mosey its way to California.

[Sir_Boomme]

That is an impressive amount of LSOE's. Congratulations. I am still in waiting mode.

must take those express ponies longer to cross this great state of texas...cause i'm still waiting also.

[LostAlivE]

I got my LSOE S/L and AE with matching numbers today about noon.
I left a bale of hay and a bucket of oats with fresh water so the ponies are good to go.

I haven't broken the seal on the books yet.

[Glass]

Sweet! Maybe mine is sitting at my PO Box!

[Patrick]

No sketchy-doodle for me. Not a surprise given the odds.


Karen, these books, and their accompanying slipcase and traycase, are truly beautiful. Your production values are beyond reproach as usual. These are very welcome additions to my collection. Heartfelt gratitude to you, Robert, Michael and everyone else at Grant, or associated with Grant, who worked on this project (includes King, naturally.) Fantastic! Thank you.

[wizardsrainbow]

Well said Patrick, and congrats to you on your newest "babies."

[Nerak]

Thanks Patrick :)

[tippy4]

Patrick, what day were yours shipped?

I figure I can take that information and figure when mine will arrive since we are both in CA.

Congrats!

[sleeplessdwarf]

I ordered my copy 3 days ago. I really wanted the deluxe but without the numbered DTVII was a no go ofc. How long does it generally take for delivery these day? I see that they have charged me the book fee but not for shipping yet. Would be very sweet to get one of those with doodles if they have not all been bought already. Wish me luck.

[Matt]

Good luck sleepless--hope you get one.

Nerak actually works for Grant so I'm sure she can answer any questions about an estimated time of delivery.

[Patrick]

Thanks, David.

Karen, I'm still really excited. I dig the way the picture is printed on the S/L traycase - it's all "abalone" (I don't know how else to describe it). Also, Michael's new artwork is awesome. I am one very happy customer.


Patrick, what day were yours shipped?

I figure I can take that information and figure when mine will arrive since we are both in CA.

Congrats!

The postage is dated Feb. 4th, so it took only a week. Good luck, tippy!


Good luck to Glass and sleeplessdwarf as well.

[sleeplessdwarf]

I just made my way through the rest of this thread and now I am drooling. I have not ordered any type of limited edition since the ex made off with my collection some years ago. I can hardly stand the wait now. :excited:

Well, mine shipped two days later, so hopefully mine will show up two days later (Saturday). Thanks for the info!

[Nerak]

if it was just charged, the orders have been charged and are being shipped this week and probably the beginning of next week. There were over 100 orders.

[NeedfulKings]

Your production values are beyond reproach as usual.

I own a lot of limited editions (including a Cemetery Dance Lettered) and I'll hold a DMG First (not even limited) edition of Wizard and Glass up to any of them. No contest. Karen's company rocks!!!! Quality is their first, middle, and last name!

[Nerak]

mmm, nope
First Donald
Middle M
Last Grant!

HE HE HE

[Tatts4Life]

mmm, nope

:rofl:

[batsker]

Damn, you guys are lucky. I've been freaking out, because I still hadn't been billed for my matching S/L and AE.:pullhair: However I just checked again, and now I have. How sick is that? To get excited about a charge on a credit card? I think I need to seek professional help!:wtf:

[e_taylor]

Still no charge on my lonely ol' credit card :(:wtf:

[Randall Flagg]

Patrick, Karen, are the books signature required?

[Gris]

Don't think you sig req media mail. If you can, mine was not.

[tippy4]

Generally, for U.S.P.S, you only need as signature if it is sent Express Mail (overnight), or if the sender purchases Signature Confirmation.

Based on Patrick's box, I see neither.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j158/JHPatrick/Books/LSOE-Box.jpg

[Randall Flagg]

I just won't be here today if the package arrives.:angry:

[tippy4]

I am not expecting to see mine today either....but have my fingers crossed.

And if it does not arrive on Saturday, then I have to wait for Tuesday. :angry:

[sarah]

Mine didn't require a signature either. It was left at my front door.

[Tatts4Life]

I think I had to sign for mine when it came.

[EXPLORER]

Don't think you sig req media mail. If you can, mine was not.

MY TWO BOOKS (LSOE) REQUIRED A SIGNATURE. even though shipped media mail
I DID NOT MIND
AND CONFIRMED

[Patrick]

I don't know if our receptionist signed for the box, but I sure didn't.

[tippy4]

Look what was waiting for me when I got home.

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5624/picture083uv4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

I was worried, because it is raining here in Southern California today, and even though my postman left it under the eave of my roof, the box was pretty wet from splashing drops and water seeping in the concrete. :panic:

The good folks at Donald M. Grant did a top-notch job of packing the books, and they were safe and dry inside. :thumbsup:

Sadly, not a remarque or doodle in six artist editions. :cry:

A bitter-sweet day (mostly sweet).

[Randall Flagg]

Still no books for me.:( Perhaps tomorrow.:)

[tippy4]

I was able to install a Brodart DJ protector, and still get the book back in the slipcase.

It is a little snug....but it works.

[Nerak]

Rick, glad you got your books. Sucks about the rain, but glad they didn't get wet. Stupid post office!! grrrrrrr

[tippy4]

Thank you Karen!

Robert and the gang really did a great job packing the box. They re-inforced the sides and the top and bottom with double-wall cardboard.

Initially I thought the $38 shipping fee was a little high, but let me say that after I saw what it actually cost to ship and insure it ($31) the packing job was well worth the extra $7.

Well done Grant Books.

[Nerak]

Thanks! :rock::thumbsup::dance:

[Glass]

Damn. Still waiting on my S&N. Can't wait to see it and not unwrap it. haha

[LostAlivE]

Damn. Still waiting on my S&N. Can't wait to see it and not unwrap it. haha

I know what you mean
:lol:

[gsvec]

Of course the ONE day last week I wasn't able to work from home (yesterday) is when my books came! So now I'm off to the post office with my little "signature required" slip!

[Randall Flagg]

No books today either.:angry: Monday is a holiday, so perhaps Tuesday.

[gsvec]

So no official remarques, but I DID get a CK sketchy-doodle in my AE #678! :D

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/gsvec/Stephen%20King%20Collection/A%20-%20SK%20Limited%20Editions/Artist%20Ed/LSOEAE678.jpg

And one thing I noticed in the SL#s is that SK's signature's getting pretty sloppy these days! Then again, if I had to sign all those limitation sheets I guess mine would, too. Oh, to have that problem! :lol:

[jhanic]

My wife insisted on going to the afternoon movie (Taken) today, so I missed the package. I'll have to wait until Tuesday also!

Nice, Gretchen! I've got my fingers crossed that I'll at least get one of those also.

This was sent on the 10th this month. Not sure on the name of the card I used, would either be Jason Barron or Pamela Barron. I posted in the baby thread the answer to my Karen F question, but if you find out the shipping date I'd be happy to learn it. :P Thanks a ton.

BTW, I'm new here ofc, so if I ask something too much feel free to say so.

[Nerak]

You should have gotten your confirmation this morning.

[Randall Flagg]

Karen, still haven't received mine (I know today is postal holiday).:(

[Fsmdr]

Karen, I still have not seen the charge for my 2 AEs. Should I reorder?. Thanks.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Thanks. Got the email so now I wait for usps. :cowboy:

[Nerak]

Karen, still haven't received mine (I know today is postal holiday).:(

Jerome,

They went on on the 5th. It was two weeks yesterday, give it a couple of more days, k?


Juliana, hmmmm, yours should have been charged and shipped already...I can't find your order for two artists. When did you send it in?

[e_taylor]

I hate to bother you Karen, but I'll ask anyways! - Any idea when the foreign deluxe & AE orders will be charged? And why are you working today?? Don't you have the day off?

Thanks!:huglove:

[Nerak]

Eric, I work for a very very very small company, I don't get holiday's off! And when I do, it's without pay! LOL And it's only president's day. They are all dead and don't care if I work! LOL
As to the foreign orders, Robert was packing them today. Even though I am not ready to ship them! UGH!! LOL But I am hoping to get Canada out this week.

:lol: Well said. I always thought President's Day was a stat holiday for you guys though. In Ontario we had the less important sounding "Family Day" today. Although the government was hasty in implementing it (only campaign promise they kept) and very few companies were able to properly budget for it, and any unionized workplaces have old contracts that don't include it. So about 50% of us still had to work.

:excited: - to Canada out this week!

Thanks again Karen!

[Ari_Racing]

So I must give you my CC info tomorrow or wednesday at the most, right? :)

Just got my S/N it's a beautiful book but with all the news of no remarks I may have to buy a few AE myself. I wish the rest of you luck in getting one as it may save me money in the long run.:wtf:

Was out today meeting with my tax accountant, and thus have to go to the Post Office tomorrow to pick up my package.

[tippy4]

You just cannot catch a break Jerome.

You wait and you wait and you wait and you wait......

And then your books show up when you are out.

Well, it will make them all that more special when you have them in your hands!

One of you two (mulleins and Randall Flagg) are sure to get a remarque...at least a doodle for sure!

Got my AE from Roy at Badmoon a week ago. Beautiful book... no remarque here again. Whelan's new paintings look amazing... just wish I could crack the book wide to appreciate them. I've been offline for a while... are online pics available?

ditto here bob...same story....
but i've missed on every remarque ever offered irregardless of how many copies i order... unlucky that way. only way i'd ever get one is paying premium on the secondary market...and that's not my thing.

karen... did you get my email i sent (via this site) about my books?
-terry

[Sir_Boomme]

so, update me... has anyone from the site..other than karen...received a remarq?

i saw one person got a doodle... but anybody got one of the regular remarqs?

karen... any idea about the approx. number of #'d artist editions that remain unsold at this time?

[Tatts4Life]

seeing how more and more people aren't getting remarques the more i want to get one or two more books. any more then that and my wife would think I was nuts.

[Matt]

I wish a note had been put in them.

"Dear Valued Customer,

If you get a remarque, please sign on to TheDarkTower.com and tell everyone"

I got my books today, well yesterday I guess since they were already at my door this AM (I have no idea why they didn't put it in my package box it would have fit no problem, and been safe).

No remarques or sketchy-doodles in my 2 AE's but I did get a CK Sigul in my S/L :rock: .

Beautiful presentation, now I am off to look thru the illustrations.

[jhanic]

Congratulations on the s/l doodle (or should I say sketchy-doodle??)!

That's the second one that I've heard of, and the only one in a s/l.

John

[Glass]

Still waiting on mine... grr...

[Rahfa]

Is the "CK Sigul" the eye?

That, or any drawing, is uncommon in an s/l...nice!

I was wondering the same as Boome...how many are left? I wonder if whoever was doing the numbering was subconciously putting higher numbers on those editions with a remarque? I only say that because so many of us here have numbers below 1,250...and Karen's was #2121...

But, a sample of ONE confirmed remarque is NOT much of a sample! haha...

Unfortunately, it's fair to say it may be years before all the remarques are even bought and shipped...

Yeah it's the eye.

My 2nd AE is number 2438.

I suspect a fair number of the remarqued will either stay in the shrinkwrap or the owner will not realise that the remarque is an original.

This is exactly how I was thinking of the wait. Reminded so much of Willy Wonka as a kid. Mine has been sent so any day I should have an answer. I only ordered one hoping I would be like the lottery winner who spent a buck to win the million. :borg:

I suspect the Randall Flagg did in fact receive a remarque, and has been setting up his photography studio for the last two hours to get the photo just right.

Have you seen the pictures this guy takes?

Makes Ansel Adams look like a hack! :P

Did you get a remarque of some sort on #2438?

No nothing in #2438 just the eye in my S/L.

I know Grant mentioned the remarques on the website but I remember specifically looking for a mention of the remarques on the color flyers they sent out and there was no mention, if that was so I can imagine lots of buyers ordering because they received the flyer and not knowing about the remarques.

Is my memory of the flyer wrong was there a mention of remarques?

Karen,
The Artist Edition copies come with a descriptive flyer loose under the shrinkwrap that has the number of the book written on it. I had planned to keep this with the book but was wondering if these were printed on acid free paper. In other words, is there any potential harm to long term storing of this flyer inside the book?

Excellent question Bob

[Tatts4Life]

now that you mention it I would like to know too.

[Randall Flagg]

I think perhaps I am not going to open mine. If I open them and there is no remarque, I'll be bummed out. However, if I don't open them, there will always be the chance that there is a remarque in one or both of them.

It's the exact same paper the the color prints are on, so I am thinking, yeah, it's ok.

:)

[tippy4]

A word of caution....the red ink that was used to write the book# may smear.

It did so on mine under the shrinkwrap.

Essentially yes. My book(s) can/are be both remarqued and NOT remarqued, perhaps simultaneously. Verschränkung.

[turtlex]

Oh gosh, people !

Open these up!! Open them, darn you, open them !!!!

You could have the coolest remarque waiting for you ( and for us to see )....

.... I got another AE for my birthday. No remarque, but to be honest, I was so thrilled that my girlfriend got it for me, I couldn't have been happier.

I have two now - I've opened both and they look be-u-tee-ful on my bookshelf !

[lophophoras]

Wow! I was hoping that I would sign on this morning and see that someone had found a awesome remarque. Hopefully we will see something soon...

:orely:

[Rahfa]

I know...The more I think of the sample here, which is just a few dozen people owning no more than 50? 75? Maybe 100 AEs?, is so tiny that we're not even denting the percentage...I keep waiting, but Karen's #2121 might be the only one we see for a looong time...but it's good though; it would be no fun if they all showed up...

Maybe a Grant customer who doesn't post here will open one, see it and wonder what it is, contact Karen to ask about it, and she can direct them here...so maybe we'll see them eventually...

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I'm hoping for my box to show up today. Just maybe.....JUST MAYBE, I'll have one.

:drool:

[herbertwest]

Karen, may I ask how many copies have been sold so far, if it is not a confidential information?

Did anyone contact Grant back to let them know they were extremely happy coz found a remarque?

[wizardsrainbow]

I've not seen any on eBay either.

Audrey and Michael are just back from 2 weeks out west. I dropped them a note telling them that of about 100 AE copies that we know of, not a single remarque (exclusive of Karen and Robert). I said granted it is a small sample size, but I am still surprised. She just ordered 25 copies herself so she said she'll see if any of hers have a remarque.

[Nerak]

She ordered 25??? She didn't talk to me....maybe just Robert.

I have no idea how many have sold. Robert told me at one point what the count was, but I suffer from CRS so, it's gone now.

Noone has contacted us wondering what a drawing might be. Sorry.

Anything else? :lol:

[funky dredd]

I still haven't gotten my AE yet. :(
Hopefully soon.

[herbertwest]

Can I get a free copy? ^^

[Nerak]

nope

Hmmmm, could these 25 be involved in the "Blowtorch" project? Bob? Any insight?

[Patrick]

Congrats to everyone who has received their books so far, and double congrats to the very few who have books with sketchy-doodles. I noticed today that weathervane has one with a sketchy-doodle listed on eBay.

Thanks for the answer on that AE flyer paper, Karen. Like Rick mentioned, the red ink on mine smeared under the shrinkwrap as well. No worries though. :)




Open your damn books already, Jerome. :arg:

[funky dredd]

I got my book today!! No remarque though...but that is fine by me! :D
It was #2579.

[lophophoras]

I got my Deluxe AE #552 today. It's a beautiful book. Well worth the wait.

:rock:

Since I ordered my regular AE seperately they weren't shipped together. I'll let you guys know if there is a remarque when I receive it.

[turtlex]

funky and lop - Congratulations!

lop - my fingers are crossed that you'll get a cool remarque...

... I am confident at least one of us is going to get a glorious remarque in an AE !!!

[funky dredd]

Thanks turtlex!

Quick question. Did anyone put a brodart cover on there's yet? I am wondering if I put a cover on it if it will still fit in the case?

[tippy4]

I did...and it does.

It is snug....but not bad.

With my luck, I seriously doubt it will be me. But at least I'll be getting a wonderful book to add to my collection.

[Nerak]

David, it's on a pallet behind another pallet and buried. So, at some point you will get it, I promise!!! I will try to get him to look for it this week, considering you already paid for it.

Got mine..very nice book. But, no dice on the remarque.

[Randall Flagg]

As mentioned earlier, we here have purchased a VERY small sampling of the 4,000 books-I would guess for those who have posted ~<100 total. IF the chances were 1/100 we might see one-as we have with nerak.
If we here had (to this point) purchased 2,000, I would hope (but odds are only odds), to see 10-15.
That's it.

[e_taylor]

Got one of my S/Ls and an AE today - no sketchy doodle, but beautiful books! I had already sold this copy to a member on these boards, so I'll have to wait for my other copy to show up to drool over the S/L!

[sleeplessdwarf]

Another day has come and gone without any gifts in the mail. Maybe tomorrow, maybe.

[Glass]

I got mine today. #561. No remarque or doodle. But that's okay. I'll have it done in the future at a convention somewhere. :)

[Ari_Racing]

Any updates on the foreign orders? I can't waaaait! :D

[LostAlivE]

I took my AE out of it slipcase and found it a bit snug.
The slipcase had left indention's on the dust jacket itself.
Anyone else notice this on theirs?
No remarque either sorry to say.

[tippy4]

Yeah...that is the problem with slipcases...they tend to rub the book and DJ when going in and out.

My copy of The Gunslinger (1982 1st ed) had a mint (and I mean brand new...perfect) DJ on it, and after a few times in and out of the Grant DT123 slipcase, I noticed a small chip in the DJ. :(

I was able to get a Brodart protector on my LSOE...maybe you can too.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

:rock: My books arrived. No Sketchy-Doodle in AE or S/L but WOW are these books beautiful. Can't say enough about Grant publishing and the job Karen, Robert and temp staff did.

I'm going to save up a little and get a couple more chocolate bars, oop's I mean AE editions to see if a Golden Ticket is inside.

It's a good day in Virginia.

You guys have to admit, the remarques are a great way to sell more books.

I've even considered buying a couple more.

Definitely a great marketing tool. I never even considered buying one (i only collect french items) but when I've read about the remarques I was really tempted to get one.. I decided to do not : the odds are small and I dont collect in english so...

[sleeplessdwarf]

Karen, if you get the time would it be possible to take a look as to when my copy shipped? I received the Form Submission email on the 16th of Feb. The name would be Jason Barron. Thanks if you are able to help.

I have two, and without a doubt I'm thinking about a third !

[bast_imret]

Same here. I really do think though that there are alot that we just won't ever see.

[Randall Flagg]

It is too late now, but in retrospect perhaps some other way to "distribute" the remarqued editions should have been done. It just seems a shame that all of the art may never be revealed.

[Rahfa]

I actually thought the exact same thing...but then part of me likes the idea that it's a complete mystery, and except for a few, we probably won't ever see them...especially with these collectibles, part of it is the 'hunt'...sort of like the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'...they're out there, somewhere...haha...Eveually, they will all be revealed, just to an audience of one...

[turtlex]

I like the roll of the dice aspect... mainly because I know if they were a separate kind of designation, they would cost more, and likely I couldn't afford the increase... this way, at least I have a chance !

[herbertwest]

Great minds think alike.:P

It is easy to look backwards and say what should/could have been done.
Upon reflection, DMG probably shouldn't have produced 4,000 AE's-given this economy.
I would have priced 2,000 books at original cost, and designated a "pool" of 1,000 books which would contain the ~40 books with art. These pool books would have been priced at ~50% more than the other 2,000 books, and whether they had an original piece or not the numbering would have had the added note of "Art Lottery", or something more elegant, perhaps all 1,000 had a "sigul" eye by Whelan. Nonetheless, making them different than the other 2,000. Collectors would have snapped up the 1,000 books-there would certainly be more than one person here with a remarqued book, AND most Collectors would have bought an additional book from the 2,000 pool as they would qualify as a different version.

[Patrick]

That's a fun theoretical exercise, but I'm quite happy with the process as it stands. Completely random and hidden that so every book has the exact same chance. I like that not even the people at Grant know which are the "enhanced" books.

I only wish Mr. Whelan had taken a quick photo of each of the sketchydoodles (aside from the simple KA and CK doodles).

[Randall Flagg]

I only wish Mr. Whelan had taken a quick photo of each of the sketchydoodles (aside from the simple KA and CK doodles).

Agree completely. a clear picture of every piece (sans doodles) would have added to to excitement.

To my knowledge, he did not take pictures of his remarques other than the two versions of the Man in Black that he painted into books.

[PlayPhish]

I think Michael may have scans of all the remarques David. I've been lobbying to put together a chapbook of all the remarques for the DT books he's done. I sometimes like them more than the actual artwork in the book. Nothing against the artwork, but sometimes the simpler, spontaneous drawings appeal to me more. I collect original animation drawings over painted cells from Disney movies since I prefer the original pencil intent by the artist over the finished product.

Well considering this book was supposed to be issued a few years back, at that time it seemed reasonable for 4,000 books. If you guys think about it 3 years ago books were selling at top dollar (not just King), now they are selling for about 40% less, and people still have trouble selling the books.

The one thing I like about the drop in prices for collectible books is a lot of people thought the value of books in the late 90's and 2000's were way overpriced. It's nice to see them come down to a reasonable level.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, does anyone know if any quality or remarque drawings were added to the signed limited edition?

Oy-the-Brave got an "Eye" in his #1007. See his post #1872 (page 75?).

According to wiz- (David), Michael Whelan said he only did intricate artwork on ~40 of the signature pages of books for the 1/4,000 artist editions-none for the King signed 1/1,250 books.

[PlayPhish]

Correct. No remarques on the S/L's, only the AE's. There are very few 'Ka' or 'Eye' symbols in the S/L's; Michael guessed maybe half dozen. He was a little shocked when I told him I received a 'Ka' in both my S/L and AE.

Wow I felt lucky before but only a half a dozen out there in s/l, wow:scared:

Dave, Michael told me specifically that all of the "meaningful" remarques were done in the AE editions> None in the S/L.

I'm a bit miffed by this Publisher's service.

I ordered a single Artist copy on November 15, 2008.
My order was confirmed by Grant on December 1, 2008.
Payment was taken from my account.

It is now March and I still don't have my book. :angry:

[sleeplessdwarf]

I could understand the miff if it were sure that there were not problems. It seems a few have had some and all that I have seen who asked usually got an answer. I was under the understanding they did not start shipping until Jan.09 so all the time before that was known. I am only 2 weeks in since confirmation so I can't complain. Maybe ask Karen. If you have already then you have my sympathy. I would go nuts if it took that long for me.

[Rahfa]

Aren't you overseas, though? That might be who to blame.

Blame the Atlantic Ocean?

While I understand your frustration, think of it this way, they only have had your money for a couple monthes.

Some publishers (and we all know who) have had money from some if us for years!

[Rahfa]

Haha...yes, the ocean, wind and rain! Haha...

No, the overseas shipping...sometimes you get lucky and it takes less than a week...otherwise...weeks and weeks. Bottom line, there's not much a shipper can do.

[Ari_Racing]

Actually, the last time Karen mentioned this, the overseas editions were started to be charged last week...

I got the first half of my shipment on Monday, but I'm pretty sure Canadian orders went out before overseas. Heres hoping they arrive soon.

And only an AE? No S/L?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

And only an AE? No S/L?

Yeah, only the AE. The S/L does not fit with the rest of the S/L DT books. It's an oddity I can do without.

[Ari_Racing]

Tomorrow is the day! :D

[Nerak]

Yeah yeah yeah, if I can get through all of the paperwork BS that I have to do to process one freakin order!!!

International shipments are not easy.

Each country has their own custom's requirements and alllllll of that paperwork. :panic:

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I get several books every week from the USA, from publishers and individuals. I know very well the procedure and time scale to the UK. They never take more than 10 days.

[Ari_Racing]

I just read my signature....only 32 days left!!!!!

:panic::panic:

Almost nothing! Please give me a good news and tell me you'll make it on time for my package! :D

Lucky Git. I don't think i've ever imported ANYTHING from the US to the UK and had it arrive it anywhere near ten days!.

[Ari_Racing]

WOOOOO!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

And I ship international shipments EVERYDAY. I am fully aware of the process involved and the problems that can arise which can slow the delivery time.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Karen, I sent you an email. If you get a minute could you reply? Thanks a ton. :)

[Chooch]

So what is the final tally for sketchy-doodles? Other than Nerak did anytone get a nice remarque?

Karen, I hope everything has somewhat slowed down for you, let Robert pick up the load now :lol: 27 days if I counted right CONGRATS :rose: :rose: :rose:

[Nerak]

Haven't heard from anyone else, other than the eye and Ka symbols.

And thanks! I am counting! LOL

[wizardsrainbow]

Still waiting on my last number. Any movement on those pallets yet?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

At least you have something! :angry:

[Nerak]

The least you could do is let me know WHO you are so I can figure out just why you are so upset with us. Give me a chance instead of just complaining about it. Cause, as you can tell, that's not getting you very far, right?

[Nerak]

Not yet..same reason as before

[turtlex]

( Karen... flipping only 25 days! )

ETA /offtopic : My girl got the slipcases and they are awesome! Yeah, they were for me.

[Nerak]

20 if my dr induces me on the day I want her too. :)

[sleeplessdwarf]

Good luck Karen and I hope it goes the way you want.

I received my copy #2843 today. There were no special doodles but I am glad to have the book. Very nice job you guys did Nerak. Thanks.

Karen,
I am 'upset' because Grant Books has not fulfilled their part of our contract. They took my order and my money a long time ago and I have not had anything for it.

It was only a single artist copy!

I have not "kicked up a fuss" with Grant over this because of respect to your membership of this website. Believe me, if you were not on here, I would have sent Grant my displeasure directly before now.
