Yeah Amazon.com has it for $10.11 right now.
Is the UK release the Scribner book?, or are H&S doing it?.
H&S
I just got my CD copy in the mail today and had time to look over it. I gotta say, I'm not impressed. I've seen CD publish much better looking volumes for similar prices. Some of the Jack Ketchum books and the Frank Darabont one come to mind. This one falls short. I think it could have been just $10 more and come with a slicase to have made the whole thing just a little bit better, but I understand they may not been able to have so many slipcases ready to go in time and had to ditch the idea.
All in all, I hope I really enjoy the story, cause that'll help big big.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Baseball card-2
Price-1

Overall-2+
It was generous of SK to give this to CD and the overall result is fine. It was a nice surprise so I have no complaints but the reality is BB is an overpriced, over-hyped short story.
That's what I'm afraid of.
