What if any consensus is there as to the number of copies signed by King/Hill?
What if any consensus is there as to the number of copies signed by King/Hill?
@bookstoreday tweeted that there were fewer than 300 bookplates signed. And 60 stores ordered the bookplates. I was told by one book store that the books sold out in under 8 minutes.
I keep hearing 300.
I would say many more tried to order the bookplates - but it was like a King limited sale - if you were too slow - you missed out. I spoke with several stores that said you needed to send your request in at 1201...they got there's in by 1202 - and the signed copies were gone. That was from at least 3 stores which I spoke with. So many tried, only a few succeeded - and it seemed that shops had anywhere from 2-5 signed copies - since I know of several that only had 2 copies.

I don’t understand the prices we are seeing for the S/L of In the Tall Grass. There are UK signed Limited editions of similar limitation, and better quality, also signed on a book plate, which go for half of this.
This seems like a $300-400 book, at most. What am I missing?
(Not that I have any skin in the game – I neither have one, nor want one, as I collect UK editions primarily. I’m just very concerned that the hype of the moment is costing people a lot of money, and so few are questioning the wisdom of these sales)
