Appreciate the thanks guys, it's a pleasure to help out the global collector community. Hope they all arrive safe and sound!
"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
I still have one of the alternative UK edition covers available. Shipping will be from NZ however so you will really need to want it, not to care about the shipping :-)

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I know right? The three movies were like 30 hours of them walking to Mordor. Why didn't they just fly the whole way???
I mentioned it in The Oracle that I doubt any of the 3 books in the trilogy will be a S/L. It would be weird for King to do one or two out of three books.
You are probably spot on. However, I could see a "Trilogy" S/L in the future.

Anything is possible, and what would be even weirder is for King to release three novels in a relatively short period of time and none of them have a S/L edition.

I think this is wide open for the likes of cd or ps pub etc to produce box set with accompanying facsimile signature.
Fingers crossd Sl version comes out.
I wonder if Glenn Chadbourne would have time to do the illustrations for the three books?
If I didn't know better Bob, I'd say that had a touch of sarcasmI wonder if Glenn Chadbourne would have time to do the illustrations for the three books?

My views are very similar to Bob on that topic but my small collection does have quite a lot of Glenns work in them.
Colorado Kid being my favourite of his work.
For mr mercedes trilogy id be happy with Joyland artist. I forget the name.

A NEW GAME BEGINS
I don't get why King would OK reprints of a reprint of a reprint (essentially just another edition of) Carrie, The Stand, Christine etc. and not a brand new book. Other than 30 signature sheets for the lettered of Carrie, none of those books are even signed.
Money for the Independent Printers who are losing market share to the Kindle. because some of us are still stuck buying the reprint of the reprint. some of us buy more than one, because somebody was smart enough to put a number in it, and get Chadbourne to draw another picture.
Dunno, it doesn't have to be anything grand. Even something like the equivalent of the UtD gift edition would've been nice. Or a different dust jacket (yes, I'm aware of the UK DJ variants). Or a single illustration. Or even an upgrade from the crapola of cloth over boards to all cloth.
There's probably going to be some sort of an anniversary edition down the line from the way things are looking now.
Is there anyplace online to buy the Dutch numbered edition that ships to the US? I see a listing for a Dutch hardcover on amazon.co.uk, but I am not sure if it is a regular edition or the numbered one.
Yes, I bought mine from here.
