It's kind of funny because I am planning to try to do a dummy book with a cover for a first french edition of DRACULA, for the meantime until I find one...

One thing I find interesting is he leaves the original publisher then adds his own logo to the jacket. The guy on ebay goes so far as to remove the original publisher from the jacket on most.
I was undecided about this edition of Skeleton Crew and I finally decided to buy it, when the cover was changed. I'm glad I did. It arrived today. Lovely little edition, nice artwork and I love the slipcase. I'm looking forward to reading it (carefully). Nice work Pete and Nicky
Has Pete confirmed Skeleton Crew lettered being signed? Salems?

Hope he doesn't for the sake of the owners of Carrie and Thinner. Cost 'em another $8k...
Lettered Thinner STILL available on PS' Website for those interested!
Huh? i just figured Skeleton and 'Salem's would cost another $4kUS each.....
I bought 3 copies of Lettered Thinner and EASILY sold the 2 extras I had. I adore these editions (so far) from PS Publishing with the original piece of artwork. I think the Les Edwards art is particularly striking. I will have to post pictures of the 3 original pieces I've seen soon on this site. My Carrie is truly special as it is the artist's copy, not lettered but 1 of 4 and all contents marked "4", plus it has 2 pieces of origiinal artwork by Glen.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
As I said, I bought 3 copies of Thinner Lettered from PS Publishing. Here are pics of the three original art pieces in each of the editions. I received Gina 1st and LOVED it....almost kept it for myself, but sold that copy....I got "Thinner" next and decided to keep that one regardless of what the third turned out to be...which was pretty awesome too (I also sold "Skin Man").

That is awesome artwork David. For my taste, I think Les Edwards' Thinner artwork is among the best on any of SK's Ltd editions.

Looks like Skeleton Crew Lettered will be signed by Stephen King
From the new newsletter,
We’ll be starting things off proper next Friday (8 January) with news items and maybe an order page or two, including one for the deluxe signed-by-all lettered edition of SKELETON CREW. Customers who took a lettered copy of THINNER are automatically entitled to the same letter for the deluxe lettered SKELETON CREW—please drop me a line to confirm and we’ll go forward from there.
At the moment, we have just one copy of THINNER still available (letter U) for anyone wishing to buy that AND the new one (please note this is a two-book order—THINNER and SKELETON CREW). Following on, all customers buying the lettered SKELETON CREW will have first dabs on the same letter on the lettered ‘SALEM’S LOT. First come, first served of course.
Not sure I completely understand. If we have a lettered Thinner can we order the same letter for Skeleton Crew at our leisure? Or do we have to order online when the site goes live, secure a copy and then request the same letter? It seems like he is guaranteeing lettered Thinner owners the same letter for SC but the last line "First come, first served of course" makes me think otherwise. I sent an e-mail to Pete asking about it but haven't heard back yet.
I was a bit confused by that as well, Bob.
Existing customers of Thinner, will have first refusal on the same letter of Skeleton Crew.
New customers purchasing Skeleton Crew, will have first refusal on the same letter of Salem's Lot.
Letters left available for new customers wishing to purchase Skeleton Crew, will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Pretty straightforward really.
Yeah, it isn't crystal clear but it probably won't make any difference. Neither Carrie nor Thinner sold out quickly so just about anyone who wants one will likely be able to get one. I guess the only thing keeping me from asking Pete to put me down for one right now (matching my Thinner letter) is that we don't even know the price yet.
So when have the "serious collectors" ever worried about price? It could be $1000 or $10,000, we would still buy it. The only King signed/limiteds of 2014 and 2015 were PS ones, and the only confirmed one for 2016 is also a PS one. (so far)
Skeleton Crew will be a bit thicker than Thinner-thus understandably a bit more. Fortunately for US buyers the Dollar to Pound is favorable. $5,000 Pounds is only $7,500. Two years ago it would have been closer to $9,000...
