It's a taste thing, I guess, but I never like the UK covers. Plus, to me the US covers are the "official" ones, so there's that, too
Three copies pre-ordered and counting. I wonder how much the Waterstones exclusive will actually differ from the normal UK 1st, as there's really no indication on the purchase pages, aside from the cover image with "Exclusive" slapped on the corner, which I'm hoping is a place holder.
"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
That's perfect, thanks for sharing that Simon
Can I ask where you found those details? I'm also wondering if they will do a modified dustjacket colour or coloured page ends as they have in the past for other exclusives.
Thanks for the Waterstones link! I ordered one copy, and bundled in a regular edition copy as well.
I wish WH Smith would ship to the US.

Not a fan of the UK cover. What is that on the end paper - bullets and ink pens? Not many King books are titled after characters. Carrie, Cujo, Lisey's Story. Maybe Christine, Rose Madder and Gerald's Game if you want to be generous. The assassination theme is a long standing one with King. All the JFK references and Dead Zone climax. Sounds interesting.
Correct about the orange. So far I believe that is true about the exclusive.

I'm sad WHSmith isn't doing an exclusive edition like they normally do.
Not that I've seen or heard of. I'd love to be wrong.
The usual WH Smith purple variant is now up for pre-order;
