Glenn is using color, which is the first time he's done that for a remarque for us. I will post a photo of the first one he sends us, which should be next week!

The Full Dark, No Stars 1/100 signed bookclub edition is back up for sale and has a bid of $299.

That seems to be a good starting price.
Was it ever taken down? I've got it bookmarked and followed it since it was listed.
Me too. I think he changed the existing listing.
Poor wording. Should have read "One bid and currently at $299 with a few hours left."Was it ever taken down? I've got it bookmarked and followed it since it was listed.
Awesome. Thanks, Brian!A friend who is an executive at Direct Brands (the company that owns SFBC) confirmed for me that they did ask King to sign 100 copies and these copies were sold on their website via an email offer. She was looking into who exactly was sent the offer and what the original price for the deal was. I will post back if I hear more.That's too bad. Both for you missing the opportunity, but also because it would be nice to have confirmation of the information from someone other than a single seller.
Best wishes,

The auction has its first bid, about 13 hours to go.
Brian, I am also looking forward to seeing those photos of Glenn'sremarquesoriginal illustrations in the FDNS.

The Full Dark BCE s/l sold for $330, which is the right price...a little bit more than signed trades have sold for.
I think that price is reasonable too, although I really did think it would sell for more.
It would have sold for about 5.00 more if company hadn't come to my door right before the end of the auction.
I had a snipe bid of 333.33 sitting on my screen (for over two hours) waiting to be clicked through at the last moment - but the auction was just over when I got back after getting rid of my friend. (one of the pitfalls of the snipe method)
ah well, I most likely wouldn't have won it anyway... I'd have just drove the price up a few dollars for the person that did end up winning it.
I can state unequivocally that that person is grateful.
Ha!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to CD for getting my Gift edition out. It just arrived now, and it is Awesome!
I've been checking out everyones photos, but lets face it, the real thing is always going to be more fantastic!
Some extra info from the Mod at SKMB:I can state unequivocally that that person is grateful.
I've been able to verify that 100 copies were signed for the Science Fiction Book Club and were offered to members through email campaigns on 12/10/10 and 12/15/10. The original price was $43.99.
Wow! Wicked good prices. I wish I were part of that email campaign. I would have bought as many as they let me... Thanks for the info, Mr. Rabbit.
Thanks for the additional info, Mr. R. T.
Given that both Brian Freeman and Ms. Mod have now confirmed the legitimacy of these, I guess this counts as another signed numbered limited edition of sorts. It seems to me that it warrants its own page in our King Catalog.
Thoughts?
I'm no expert, but I say no. It is a trade edition with a limitation page that is not numbered, except to state there are 100 copies. Although there are only 100 copies, this would be like Horns from Joe Hill that had a no-number, limitation page added by the publisher. I wouldn't consider that a s/l edition either.
But the s/l Under the Dome from Scribner is there.

That's true, John. I don't know one way or the other. A lot of publishers are inserting signed limitation pages into books and sending them out, like Horns, the UK edition of The Passage, or even Sarah Palin's new book. Are they limited? I guess they are based on how many were made. So maybe it should be considered a s/l edition.
There is no rush to decide-other than having good images either saved or provided.
stated limited to 100 copies
it's signed on a separate signature page
signed and limited - sounds like a signed/limited to me.....a signed/limited of the book club version...
I get many signed limiteds produced by CD (and other publishers) of various authors that are not numbered... that's the way they are marketed.
signed/limited/not numbered gets my vote on how to categorize this one.
I'd say it should be included as a S/L.
I concur.
Thank you for your input, everyone, and thank you for creating that entry, Jerome.
