Thanks. The issue isn't one person bringing 50 items, its 9 or 10 weirdos (people who only think of themselves, not other fans, let alone JH) who bring 50 items. Joe has already signed 200 plus items, the the last group wants 500 more. It's too much to reasonably expect from anyone. Not to mention that by now it's close to midnight, and Joe is on EDT, so it feels like 3am to him.
THANK YOU!! I was going to quit collecting his books, but then I keep on buying!
He is the nicest man ever. I have only 3 books unsigned by him!
Even my Gift Edition HORNS is going to be signed already!
Aw c'mon guys! I told myself I was going to get less Hill books, including no more UK editions. Now THIS pops up and at a great price. SIGH.
well got a goldsboro email this morning - still nothing about Full Throttle in that one...

Sorry I corrected my typo. Just the standard american run trade paperback.
Seems a bit expensive to me.
Is there any more information about this edition? The link isn't working for me either and I cannot find anything online.
We're pleased to announce the signed limited edition of Joe Hill's major new collection, Full Throttle, which will be designed and illustrated by Dave McKean.
Our edition will be printed and illustrated in two colors throughout on 80# Finch, with an 8x8 trim size, and housed in a foil-stamped slipcase.
The book you are holding is Joe Hill's first short story collection since 2005's 20thCentury Ghosts. It's been a long time between volumes, but the wait is finally over. Full Throttle is quite simply a stunning collection, filled to overflowing with wonders, terrors, and pure narrative magic. It is the work of a profoundly gifted writer who has come fully-and memorably-into his own.
Full Throttle contains thirteen stories and novellas, along with extensive story notes and an illuminating introduction that explores the various influences that have shaped its authors life and work. The stories themselves encompass an impressive assortment of settings, ideas, and emotions. Each story, without exception, is a meticulously crafted gem.
Many of these stories concern journeys-some of them brief, some more extensive-that lead to unexpected, frequently lethal destinations. In "Wolverton Station," an American executive boards a British train and finds himself faced with impossible-but very real-horrors. "Faun" takes its privileged protagonists through a "little door" that connects our world to. . . somewhere else. "Late Returns," a gently affecting story with just a touch of Jack Finney, offers a fictional meditation on time, mortality, and the enduring importance of books. "Throttle," the first of two notable collaborations, tells of an imperiled outlaw biker gang and offers a brilliant riff on the Richard Matheson classic, "Duel." A second collaboration, "In The Tall Grass," follows a brother and sister off a lonely state highway and into the high weeds of an occult wilderness, where time and space have come apart, and only the mad can survive. In the closing story, "You Are Released," a plane bound for Boston takes an abrupt detour through the geopolitical horrors of our age.
Taken both individually and together, these stories show us a writer in full, mature command of his considerable gifts. Full Throttle is, of course, a dark, unsettling book, but it is also a good deal more. Each story is filled with grace notes. Each is marked by compassion, empathy, and an underlying decency that lends an emotional weight to every page. These stories may have been a long time coming, but-like their author-they're here to stay. Full Throttle is a gift to Joe Hill's many readers, and a treasure trove of story worth returning to over and over again.
Limited: 750 signed numbered hardcover copies, in slipcase: $175
Lettered: 26 signed specially bound copies, housed in a custom traycase: $1500
Publishers Weekly (Starred Review):
"Shades of Narnia color 'Faun,' in which a small door in a ramshackle farmhouse leads to a hunting ground... 'Late Returns' is a love letter to librarians and a haunting exploration of the transformative power of grief. Hill tackles his dark subjects with humanity and empathy, and his complex, fully realized characters leap into the imagination."

About the Author
The link is the order link that will go live on the 12th guys.
Yeah $175 is a bit expensive for me as well... their signed NOS4A2 (which admittedly did not come with a slipcase and had to be ordered separately) was only $125 in comparison.Seems a bit expensive to me.

My Collection
8x8 trim size... Is that right?
I assume McKean is signing these as well?
I wondered about that too, but that's what it says. The cover artwork looks square also.
Jeeze - $175 bucks for an 8X8 trim size book? What the hell?
Yeah, too expensive for what it sounds like it's gonna be.
Also, anyone planning on going to the Brooklyn tour stop? I was considering making the drive.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
The Goldsboro edition is suddenly limited to 250 copies, instead of 150. I understand their motivation, but I can’t help but think it’s a bit scummy to increase the limitation after putting the book up for sale.
Hill likes getting paid.
Well, I cancelled my Goldsboro order and picked up the SubPress edition instead. I’m a sucker for illustrations in my books and these look great.
Wow. I’ll be canceling Goldsboro as well.
