Is this going to replace the original $1,000 lettered edition?

It appears there are now three editions being made:

• Signed Numbered $199
  Signed Traycased Lettered $999
  Signed Traycased PLATINUM Lettered $3,000

Based on that I am assuming there will be two different lettered editions. No indications were made regarding what the PLATINUM lettered has in addition to the added signatures. Glad I only ordered the numbered edition.

Official:

PLATINUM lettered edition signed by all INCLUDING King and Hanks.

Lettered edition signed by all EXCEPT King and Hanks. Lettered “OA”, “OB”, “OC”, etc. The “O” standing for “original version”.

There is only one lettered now. I read it on Facebook.... he must have changed gears and did away with the other one.

The website still says 3 editions. The $999 lettered is sold out, but the King signed $3000 lettered is still available.

Got it now.

So for those who bought the $999 book are they just being refunded? Being chagred $2001 to upgrade? Or getting it for the original $999 price?

Offered to upgrade for a “special” price extra. Not my place to say how much but it’s a good deal in comparison

But at the end of the day, there is no 52 lettered at 999 and 52 lettered at 3k?

It's just 52 lettered in total, a mixup of platinum and not platinum?

JUST platinum 52 now

As long as he takes care of those who preordered the lettered, and it sounds like he is, this is the proper path in my view.

So, for the sake of the argument : if someone had ordered the 999 edition, but couldnt afford 3k, that person just wouldnt the book he ordered and thought he'd get?

Sounds correct.

Yea... BUT a VERY nice offer was made to those people and I would be shocked if any passed...

[Randall Flagg]

FYI, Gauntlet is now officially taking orders from people who did not receive yesterdays email.

Maybe I missed this part, but what is the difference between the original lettered version and the new Platinum lettered version, other than King & Hanks signatures?

Desirability and collectability.

Plus was told above that the non-platinum lettered doesnt really exist anymore?

That’s debatable. Several top tier collectors passed on this edition.

According to Barry, they are not sure of all the changes. I was talking to one guy that says there could be some very cool interesting items included with this when the final book is shown to all. Lots that can be done here so let’s see what transpires before we are negative about it. Well “some members” are negative about everything from books to the weather but I digress.. let’s see what shakes out. Could be a home run if what I’m hearing goes down.

No negativity here, just not a lot of information to support a $2k increase in the price. Adding King and Hanks signatures makes it more desirable and collectible but that is a huge leap in price when the details of what that increase is for is not known yet. Usually books are designed and built up and then a price set . It is just odd to get a price without much details on the product.

Agreed. At the moment, beside the list of content there are not any details about what the book will actually look like. Just that cover. Usually publishers share mockup pictures at least.

The way it is currently advertised makes it sounds like it's the 999 dollar books + 2 signatures.

[Randall Flagg]

Here is a picture of the traycase:

[herbertwest]

Can I say that it looks cheapish?

Yes, I know it's probably a mockup.
But that definitely doesnt want me to spend 3 grands !

[Ari_Racing]

It looks nice but the fact that it's still available show how desirable is for collectors.

Someone pointed out when this thread started that they drive their sales by the signatures. Everyone voiced their lack of interest until the signature by King appeared.

[Beverly Marsh]

Even though I didn't order any version of this when it was first announced I liked the concept of the book. I love reading about my favorite movies and how they came to fruition and I really like Darabont. If I had three grand sitting around I would get this but A) I don't, lol and B) I made a vow to myself that unless it's another Suntup King I won't be spending over a grand on one book anymore.
Personally I find this pretty unique but I can understand why some folks might not want it being that it isn't a King novel.
