Blockade Billy

Cycle only remains uncollected because it's part graphic novel. But I don't care about whether it gets collected later on, I'm more interested in finding out if there is ever going to be a print version of UR.

Isn't it possible that the mass market will only get a paperback of it and it will remain a separate book like The Colorado Kid?

Maybe several years down the line when his publisher wants to make extra money with little to no extra work from King, they'll put out another novella collection and throw both this book and Colorado Kid in a mass market HC along with Throttle...

Due to the high demand for this title and the VERY low print run (among the lowest for a Stephen King Limited Edition in many years), Cemetery Dance is going to be selling the available copies for us via a "random drawing."

This has been the standard practice for some other presses dealing in Stephen King Limited Editions and it seems like the most fair way to sell this small of a print run. Every interested collector gets "one entry" and has the same chance of winning the right to purchase one copy of the Limited Edition or the Lettered Edition.

So you don't have to watch the website at a specific time and hope to get lucky with timing your order just right, etc. It doesn't matter where in the world you live or when you work or if you're going to be away for a day. Every collector has the same chance to purchase a copy for their collection.

There is absolutely no cost to enter this random drawing, but by entering you are committing to purchase a copy if your name is selected. Please read all of the details on our website, including limitation and pricing, before you enter yourself in the drawing.

You can visit www.LonelyRoadBooks.com for complete details.

At $450 for the S/L I think this is way overpriced and too rich for my blood! If it were a full sized novel then perhaps but its a novella at best and way too pricey! I'll stick with th eCD First Edition for $25.00.

$450 for a tiny 120-ish page book is too pricey, IMO. Even the UTD price for the S/L was lower, and it was much more popular/anticpated.

The first edition will have to suffice in my case.

Agreed.

**shnnrc01** · 04-10-2010 12:05 AM

thats a lot of money for a small novella

**Mr. Rabbit Trick** · 04-13-2010 05:52 AM

From SKMB:

Stephen and Cemetery Dance have made an arrangement with Scribner to make available a less expensive hardcover edition of Blockade Billy, with an on-sale date of May 25th, the same date the audiobook goes on sale. The Scribner edition will be available in all US & Canadian retail outlets. Both the Scribner book and the Simon & Schuster audiobook will feature a bonus short story ("Morality"). In the meantime, an eBook edition of Blockade Billy should go on sale through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Sony on April 20th.

**Nerak** · 04-13-2010 06:20 AM

WOW! Ya know, they HAD to have know about this all along! There is NO way that they can do that much that fast, so sorry.

Well, we know who wanted to make the money first!

And I know which edition I will be buying!!

**mae** · 04-13-2010 09:11 AM

Well that's a bummer. But "Morality" should be included in King's eventual next short story collection. Already placed my order for the CD edition of Billy; if the price is low enough, I'll get the Scribner edition as well, maybe.

Any idea what "Paper Over Board" is?

John

**Sam** · 04-13-2010 10:13 AM

Like a TPB?

**mae** · 04-13-2010 10:15 AM

No, it's a hardcover.

**Bev Vincent** · 04-13-2010 10:46 AM

Hardcover without a dust jacket according to this page: In Praise of Paper-Over-Board

**Kronz** · 04-13-2010 02:40 PM

This is good news for me. As much as I love King I don't collect books for any reason other than to have a nice reader copy (preferably in hardback). Having to wait an extra month to read a baseball story doesn't bother me much.

**Nerak** · 04-14-2010 05:17 AM

that sounds interesting...I will have to pick up a copy just to check it out.

**jhanic** · 04-14-2010 10:46 AM

As I said elsewhere, I'll pick up a Scribner edition for my reading copy and keep the CD one as part of my collection.

John

**jhanic** · 04-15-2010 05:37 PM

I just got an email from Mindy at CD stating that the Scribner edition will NOT include any of the interior illustrations.

**herbertwest** · 04-15-2010 11:04 PM

I wonder about the ebookbthat will go on sale the 20th. Based on the CD edition?

**Ari_Racing** · 04-19-2010 05:20 AM
