And- I agree about the line's covers. Very evocative.
Hmm... a quick look at Amazon for the aforementioned Penguin Classics editions, and the very first two reviews make it sound like there is a newer, better produced (paper and font-wise) printing, but...
I don't have the "Variorum" books to hand- they're buried in a box while I reconfigure my "bookcase problems" (which we all have, I'm sure), but- I don't believe they have a whole lot of editorial...
Thanks for the consideration. I did get a decent 1st today. Still seeking a signed one. So let's get Swintek a nice first!
ISO: f/f/f IT Gift Edition[/QUOTE]
Glad you did! Yeah, I'm...
Well, after someone takes care of Kingfan2323- I'd like to be (gently) considered next in line. Been after that one (sort of passively) for awhile.
This! A readable font has become increasingly even MORE important to me than any of the other book elements. I wish more publishers would increase font size. I get the "bigger font = more pages =...
Unprecedented Small Press success, certainly. Remarkable. All kudos to Paul, not only for his vision, but for his unwavering game plan.
Looks fun! Great pics- keep 'em comin'. We'll have to experience the con vicariously through you.
Can I ask how much this sold for?
I agree. It's the book of the year for me so far. Adding to the gorgeous production details is the importance of the work itself, in King's canon: his first novel (proper) written, and- still one of...
Anyone got a ballpark on KNOWING DARKNESS, the "regular" slipcased edition? I only see one sold on eBay, in Feb, for less than $500 ("Offer Accepted"). Literally asking for a friend, who wants to...
Oh, this is terrible news. Condolences to his family. He certainly brought a point of view to these forums that will be missed.
The thing is, CD hasn't "officially" announced it yet, so we may not be quite there.[/QUOTE]
Ah, this is very true! All of the preorders have been "private" thus far. Hey, I'm with... "everybody"...
Nice. Important collection.
Received the DELUXE SILMARILLION (that mae posted the video review for above), and it is really a gorgeous production. The paper seems a lot better than last years LOTR, and I can't find any issues...
Thanks for that well-thought breakdown above, HBJ. Good to hear as I was on the fence on even getting it. I definitely will now. Not related, but since I'm here- I did just order the Deluxe...
I'd like to think so, since I have all three, but I think that seller is really reaching with that price. A bookstore local to me had 2 and 3 for $40 each a year or so ago (gone the last time I...
Very exciting news! I've registered my interest.
Still no news on this, I guess?[/QUOTE]
I haven't heard anything. I think if you follow Joshi's blog- that's where you're likely to hear any news re: Hippocampus first.
Plus £50 shipping to the US.
Still a good deal! I bought it.[/QUOTE]
Still a fantastic deal! I think these books are a lot cooler than most people may realize. They are just so damn...fun!...
