    Oh that's right....apparently beyond the trade hard cover, there is nothing to collect!
    There are also the ARC and the hardcover review copy, plus two versions of the UK edition.

    John
    Is the hardcover review copy any different from the trade hardcover?
    As Lot Guy said, the books themselves are identical, but the hardcover review copy does include the letter.

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    The blue is the regular UK edition. The purple is the WHSmith variant.

    The June 15th NY Times list will be the next one that includes a sales period when Mr. Mercedes was available.

    I think the PW list will be out on June 9.

    Still no signed copies.

    I feel like a junkie who needs to fix.

    I don't think I have missed out on a signed copy of King's in a very long time....

    I even have a signed 1st of The Dark Man and Blockade Billy, but this one...I do not see any opportunity this year.

    Sounds like you have a lot of the books signed. Doesn't it get really costly getting signed copies, and how have you mostly acquired these? I have a pretty good collection of 1sts, but not signed. The thought of "replacing" them with signed copies is daunting, and also something that will cost thousands.

    I am in London for a couple of weeks, and am off to hunt out the two UK editions on Monday. If anyone missed out on Stroppys offer to source either edition, drop me a line. I can't pick up too many due to me needing space in my suitcase for all my wife's shopping that won't fit in her case, but am happy to help out a couple of people if need be....

    Shipping will either be from the UK if I get a chance to send on my holiday, or from New Zealand in a few weeks when I get home

    My wife caught me making room for a few books and was like "won't they weigh too much?"

    We have to buy another suitcase for her shopping.

    Nuff said

    I found the alternative cover UK edition, and bought two extra copies. One is already spoken for but I have another one available. PM me if you are interested. Was half price at £10.

    The picture that was originally posted is in fact the WHSmith cover variant. (The book itself is identical).
    Yeah, my mistake. For some reason, i said Waterstone while I meant WHSmith

    It's actually being sold on sale, 50% off RRP, so £10. I got the standard edition for £4 off RRP at £16.
