Joyland-Collecting Discussion

[Brian James Freeman]

So much for one per customer, eh RF? Way to stick it to the man!

I guess my jokes are not obvious. I suppose I need an emoticon...

Thanks again for ordering all 26 lettered editions for me!

Brian

You and I both know that the US allocation was less than 26.
You need to PP me (as a gift) $2,040 (I chose media mail, shit $4 a book, can't beat that).

Oops, PM posted in public, oh well it's the internet...can't take it back...

LOL

Got a S/L copy late in the day from U.S. site. Took two hours for confirmation email and three hours for bill to hit my account. Seems like processing time widely varies, but I did not feel at all safe until both processed.

With the number of multiple copies folks are buying, I'm wondering if the after-market is about to get seriously flooded come 11 Jun 13. That is assuming it sells out, which it has yet to do.

When was the last time a King S/L was this cheap? Most of the recent gift editions have cost more. Even without a slipcase it's a great deal.
Even better, it will be out in a month so they aren't taking your payment well in advance!

The only fault I see was how the ordering was set up across different sites. That added a lot of confusion over it being sold out or not.

[Randall Flagg]

I thought I'd post this here for reference and if anyone wants to set up the catalogue entry for this book.

[Randall Flagg]

Shame on me, and thanks to Joe315, he provided info to assist me in posting to the catalog.
I posted the Lettered and S/L. I'll get to the unsigned 1/1500 tomorrow.

Shipping from the US to UK is only $26 for a S/L and the Standard Hardcover Limited which suprised me. Wish we could get shipping prices that cheap. It would probably cost close to $80 to ship from here to the US, if not more.

D'OH! Turns out I didn't include my credit card expiration date on the order. While the Quality Assurance Analyst in me could say shame on them for not making it a mandatory field, they left me a phone message, and simply asked that I call them back this morning. So, overall, NSFS seem very easy to work with.

I agree - they were very nice to deal with

[divemaster]

Do you we know the difference between the US and UK site? By that I mean, do we know if they were each programmed to sell a certain amount of copies? Is there a difference by ordering from either site? Could we have saved on shipping? I was in such a hurry to order i copy i just went to the UK site.

I ordered from the U.S. site. My shipping was $4. No sales tax. $79 for a King S/L'd hard to beat. And it appears that the U.S. site still has copies available as of this morning.

And I'd never have found out about this edition going on sale if weren't for Calvin's Corner and the fine folks here. So, thanks!

[bdwyer19]

Big thanks, guys!! I had absolutely no idea about Joyland going on sale, until I opened Calvin's Corner to check out a different thread, and saw the Joyland thread on top. So glad I opened it!!!

[Ari_Racing]

Big thanks! This place couldn't have nicer people!

[becca69]

I ordered from the UK and then the US so I guess I have two. I was going to cancel the UK order but the US site was so sketchy, I kept my other order just in case!!

[jhanic]

I did the same thing, becca!

So through the NFSMagazine link, the signed editions are still available? Is this a safe place to order from?

Did Titan steal CD's thunder? I guess we shall see....

[cit74]

it might have been shady - but a whole lot smoother - plus no big announcement - and mostly people here flooded their site

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Did Titan steal CD's thunder? I guess we shall see....

Yes. One is a novel 36,000 words (approx), the other is a poem of 236 words.

The price of the Lettered editions are $200 for the novel and $1,750 for the poem.

Again, as the publisher of Titan stated yesterday, the QUALITY of the presentation and materials is vastly different, but as I said above, each collector will have to make up his or her own mind on this one.

I agree. The CD quality is always outstanding. I've never had a Titan book.

Quality wise, CD really sets the bar high.

[Brian James Freeman]

Not to keep pulling this thread off topic, but the signed editions of The Dark Man sold out in less than two hours. Thank YOU to everyone who has supported us and our crazy projects!

[bdwyer19]

Just saw that the S/L of Joyland is sold out.

Did anyone try requesting a specific number? I didn't see any place for Notes on the order site.

Exactly the same for me, that's why this community is great, a well of knowledge for the drinking and great people willing to share.

I don't have time to keep up these days so I only hear about these things if I'm lucky and usually after the event when I've missed out. I would have missed Joyland if it wasn't for Michael, Chad and TDT.org.
