Joyland-Collecting Discussion

[Brian James Freeman]

I'm not going to name names, but the person who emailed me this image "wins the thread" as far as I'm concerned. I've moved it to our server to protect the innocent:

Back on topic, I really like the "Joyland" map on the back cover. Very helpful in getting a perspective.

Did someone mention a slipcase or traycase for the signed copies?

Good question. I do not recall. Anyone?

[The Library Policeman]

I think Tomas said to watch his site in July

[jhanic]

Yeah, that's what he said:

I AM planning to release a slipcase for Joyland. I've already got a design in my minds eye, we'll just see if we can translate it into a finished product. As usual, I won't open up any ordering until I have a finished prototype to show you guys & a production ETA. Making a case takes time, so it likely won't be ready until the fall. More details when I have them.

Thank you for reminding me, I was wondering about that. I ordered a slipcase from CD awhile back, but I assume that was for the trade edition. In the email today from "The Collector" he mentions a slipcase, but doesn't say for what edition.

[ELazansky]

From his newsletter today:

"In related news, I AM planning to release a slipcase for Joyland. I've already got a design in my minds eye, we'll just see if we can translate it into a finished product.

For those that ordered multiple copies of the gift edition; did they ship them individually or pack them into a larger box?

By luck, I just reached Tomas's new newsletter in my inbox and he says:

P.S. Oops, several people beat me to it!

I think it was interesting that for S/L's and lettered there were different colored "dots".
One white dot on the outside cardboard has the number/letter, a small blue dot on the shrinkwrap of the S/L and on the lettered case designate the number/letter, and on the lettered editions a red dot is on the book.

Correct! We approved the prototype case last week, so our slipcase maker will be ordering the stamping dies when they're back from their two week summer break and I'm *hoping* these will sneak into the warehouse between The Dark Man and Doctor Sleep.

my lettered had a yellow dot on the shrink-wrap of the tray-case - just saying ...well there was a yellow dot somewhere

[Brian James Freeman]

Joyland! I'm excited about collecting it, and about the possible discussion of said collection.

I don't know why, but I just burst out laughing again about this...

Tomas' case should fit both the standard and S/L editions since they're the same format.

[Kingfan24]

Has there been any Joyland ARC sightings lately?

[Pasiuk57]

I'm still looking....

The unsigned and signed limited edition hardbacks.

Thomas....if you read this...you should do a slipcase AND a traycase.

Yes, i also would love to have a traycase!

P.S.: Brian sent me a PM, thanks for that! No need to discuss more!

I haven't seen any.

I think he could do a VERY handsome traycase for this book if he wanted!

Woah, woah, woah, since when is CD planning a Joyland case? Did that totally fly under my radar?

[subie09lega]

For the paperback edition, right Brian?

Correct! It's just a cool little slipcase for the paperback. We found this new material that just happened to have the right colors from the cover, so I think it'll look very nice. We're not taking more orders until they're done, but I'll post a photo as soon as I have one.

I wound up talking with Hardcase about this and they were not overly thrilled with an aftermarket traycase coming out. They felt that the traycase was the main thing separating the lettered edition from the limited editions of Joyland. I'm certainly not out to annoy a publisher of King books so a slipcase it is this time around...Oh and yes since the signed and unsigned editions are the same dimensions , the case will fit both.
