    Who you kiddin', Bev?! You know you'll buy 'em if they are black regardless of the print run just like I will .
    Brian, you are a temptress! SIGH. And of course, you're right. Is there such a group as Book Collector's Anonymous?

    Perhaps the black spines are actually a picture of the paperback trilogy box set....which will probably be released in a month or two.

    This now appears that we may be dealing with a somewhat limited edition.... As of this time the TARGET editions are now NO LONGER AVALABLE.

    Well of course it's limited. Scribner is only producing X amount.
    Target probably dropped it (like Amazon will) as returns exceeded sales (sounds impossible I know-negative sales numbers. In my career we called that "shrink"-the difference between expected profits and realized profits. Just replace "returns" with "theft" and it's the same principle.).

    WRONG! Due to the fact that TARGET was only selling the sets on line & they just started to show up today. There is no reason (or time) for any of them to be returned & I assume there are only a few of us that even know what editions are in the sets & who really give a shit. "THEY SIMPLEY SOLD OUT"

    I was just able to put the trilogy in my cart and get to payment information at target.com. Doesn't appear to be sold out to me.

    I kinda see these always being around with the chance of first editions becoming slimmer as they move forward.

    Man I went to the book store to pick up the boxset today, freaking $122 CAD (which I imagine is like $0.65 USD) plus tax. That's a bit ridiculous, it's more than buying each book at full price.

    Ouch! I paid right at $90 and some change once the CDCC coupon was applied from CD. Amazon would have definitely been cheaper but not regrets supporting my favorite small press. I believe a poster of some sort is supposed to come with the CD set as well. Be interesting to see if all of these will be 1st.

    $122 Canadian is around $94 US right now. Issue price was $90.

    This set should drop considerably in price as 1st editions start to dry up. As word has gotten out that 2nd printings are now being used, it will make a full set of 1st printings more difficult to buy new and will increase its resale value. However the books used are identical to the standard trade editions, which can still be bought at quite low prices on eBay. My advice, get hold of a couple of cheap 1st editions of Mr Mercedes and maybe Finders Keepers NOW and use them to replace the 2nd printings when Amazon starts selling this at less than half price...
    "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 just received the box set from Amazon. All 1st editions and it cost me $57 which included tax and shipping. Not too bad.

    That's reasonable!

    And good tip simon. But the fact that these are just identical to the other trade copies fortifies my view on the extortionate pricing.
