Yes, you need to get the dinged variant now.

[allasorte]

At least you have a book to email them about. I'm still waiting for my first dinged up copy.

Mine showed up today also in that crazy oversized white bag. Mine was well packed and without any damage. Nice little book. I like it.

I'm obviously jealous that yours is in fine/fine condition. Jealous!

Personally, I'm after the signed variant. The ding will be a bonus.

Thank you for your email regarding the above.

I was sorry to learn that you received a Folio volume in less than perfect condition. A replacement copy of The Shining has been ordered for you and I trust that, this time, it is received safely and in good time. There is no need to return the damaged book.

Thank you for your support for the Society. Should you have any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

Got this email today about my Shining Folio edition. Great to hear, but I feel they should replace just the slipcase and not the whole thing. It is great to read that they are trusting enough that I am not lying, I am not, but I feel they are losing money in simply replacing something damaged like this.

Dinged copies would make excellent donations to the HF raffle... just saying

I'd like to receive my fully paid for copy (in fine condition). Still waiting.

HF Fundraiser for 2016 has ended.

I'm still thinking about it. You folks are making this difficult. I already have the Subterranean Press and CD versions on order. Do I really need another? I've gotten as far as entering my credit card information a couple of times, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I'm kind of in the same boat but on a different book. It's one of my favorite books and this is about the only special edition they have produced. Plus the chance at a signed Shining is an awfully tempting carrot.

Last Monday I was still in London and went to the Folio Society to buy a copy.
It was bank holiday

I ended up ordering it online.

Bummer!

[Ari_Racing]

Shit happens! It was nice to walk in a different part of London.

[Brian861]

That it does, my friend. More often than not :-/.

I ended up going to the Forbidden Planet again instead and found a couple of Joe Hill books signed for cover price. I can't complain that much.

Sweet!

Are there shipping notices, or does the book simply show up on your doorstep?

I've done that at least twice

I never got a shipping notice, J. Don't know about international orders though.

Mine just showed up. No shipping notice for my copy.

Was it dinged or ding free.

No notice, and dinged

Just call it limited edition

[allasorte]

Just call it limited edition

"Roughly 2500 copies, but if you are lucky, you can get one of 50 copies remarqued by a ding." The elusive print run will only go out to "a select few."
I'm thinking that ding remarque might hold more value

[cryptkeeper]

Should I pull the trigger?
