Totally concur about Water Street. The only place to buy trade Hill stuff IMO.Unfortunately eBay will be your best bet as these will likely sell out at the con.
Not sure if you already know about Waterstreet Books in New Hampshire but Joe regularly stops in and signs orders. I've ordered a few things from them and have Heaven and Earth on order to be signed. They're good people there.

And here's the waterstreet link:

I'll probably just order from them (like I've done many times before)
As for IDW listing books from the con you've got to check back regularly - there can be a bit of delay before they list, then they have a few separate sites - it can be a PITA

Drawing of The Three s/l #344

Thanks for all the info. I will try to check Water Street and IDW for copies. I did see Amazon is selling the regular version and may just end up ordering that as my budget is pretty slim at the moment.Totally concur about Water Street.

I think I am Joe Hill'ed out after the Fireman signed copy fiasco.
If anyone still has a lettered deluxe edition of the Fireman for sale. Will you please PM me ? (:
I'm right there with you. I skipped the PS S/L of The Fireman and I don't know if I am even going to look at any copies of Strange Weather, whether it be a flat-signed or S/L. Just too many different editions.
Any word of a Strange Weather tour?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Still on pre-order.
I have no idea when PS will get around to finally publishing it.

I just got back from a week away last night and found my shipment from PS that included the Fireman S/L. While checking it out, I looked for the Blacked Out Price, and didn't see it. I thought that perhaps by this time they had seen the postings voicing disappointment and stopped doing it. Just to refresh my memory I just reread the relevant posts from early January. What happened was that the £60 had been crossed out as the price was £70.
My copy, just received however was not crossed out. Instead it had a price of £70. Only thing I can figure is these are "2nd state" DJ's with the "correct" price. So, now I am conflicted.. Should I be pleased that my DJ was not defaced, or bummed that it is not a 1st state?
I'm pleased either way, don't get me wrong. It's just one more example of why Book Collecting is not for the faint of heart or easily frustrated!!!

PS indeed created new dustjackets with a £ 70 price so you could call it a 2nd state dustjacket. I now have copies of both, the blacked out £ 60 version and the £ 70 one. Adding to the pile of a gazillion different versions/editions of The Fireman....That'd bug the hell out of me too, Chris.

Who knows if it will one day be as special as the 'Salem's Lot dustjacket versions

, Marco! Stranger things have happened. Or maybe it's just the Strange Weather

I've officially decided I'm done with Hill collecting. Will likely sell my collection in the near future.
Reeeeeallly...
Haha it's a very good possibility. I was so hopeful when subterranean published NOS4A2. They did such a great job with it I thought for sure it would be his go to publisher. When he went back to PS I was bummed because I know their history of producing subpar editions.Reeeeeallly...
I have 20th Century Ghosts S/L up on eBay at the moment.Reeeeeallly...

My username was once mentioned in an article in Forbes magazine! The author of the article was dipping his toe into eBay back when it was fairly new and he bid on a copy of the Easton Press Dead Zone that I was bidding on. Seeing my user name, he figured his odds of winning were slim...

Anyone interested in the first printing trade sized paperback of 20th Century Ghosts? Signed in front of me in Toronto at the promo tour for Horns. It says "Best, Joe Hill" and has a doodle of a ghost. I also have the first two trade hardcovers of Locke & Key, both first printings, both signed by Hill at the same event. I could email the pictures upon request. All three books are in fine condition.
I'm in the same boat minus the PS Publishing part. There are just too many versions of even the trade hardcover of The Fireman for me to keep track. I think a signed or inscribed first printing US edition will do from now on.Haha it's a very good possibility. I was so hopeful when subterranean published NOS4A2.
