He is Legend (w/ "Throttle" by King & Hill) - Gauntlet Press

[Rahfa]

Actually...sorry to say this, but it sounds more like a Tim Miller's work...

Not really...when FS sold their "signed/limited" version of 'Best American Short Stories,' they actually rebound the book, so it was a totally new version.

If TOR/Gauntet had rebound the book, and bound in the signature sheet, then I'd be impressed...although they never claimed that, so it wasn't like they were lying or anything.

It did say "tipped in" but I always get confused with those terms...all it means is "included with."

[herbertwest]

I did have him include a note on signed Gauntlet Letterhead that stated that the TOR copy that I recieved from him was one of only two sold by Gauntlet with the King/Hill signature sheet included.

Not that it makes much of a difference but at least it provides a little provenance.

I must have the other then.

John

Anyone have a third one by any chance?

[Ari_Racing]

True, but still...doesn't sound right. At least for me...

I'm wondering the same thing...

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

The third of two. Wait, that statement doesn't make sense, does it?

[lophophoras]

My sig sheet dosen't have Matheson's signature. Just King and Hill.

[Randall Flagg]

There are 2 people-Jhanic and lophophoras, who should have the Tor book with sig sheets signed ONLY by Stephen King and Joe Hill (Matheson's signature missing).
10 more should have the Tor book with signature sheets from all the authors-sans Matheson's signature.
Correct me if I am wrong (happens often).

[Randall Flagg]

I shouldn't do this but WTH, I haven't heard one complaint (Carlosdetwieler had a snag which looks like it will be resolved) from the 12 people who ordered and PAID for the book.
Come forth ye who hath paid and is unhappy.
$100. Sheesh, King and Joe Hill sigs for that cheap; that price is a deal-with the provenance.
It would be ironic, but not surprising if 1 of the 12 books quickly goes up on Ebay and sells for far more than the purchase price.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I paid for mine, was told it was one of the two with only King's and Hill's signature, but it came with Matheson's as well. I have no idea why, but I am not unhappy with my purchase by any means. Sure, it's a lot of money, and I did think the sheet would be an actual part of the book, but Gauntlet has been very good to me in the past and I am glad I bought the book. All I need now is a proof (ARC).

My copy of the Tor proof has all the signature sheets enclosed.

The third of two. Wait, that statement doesn't make sense, does it?

And I have the impossible fourth of two.

(Note: No Richard Matheson's signature)

I would love to see that letter if you have a chance to load it up here.

I suggest you cross out Matheson's signature.

I wasn't referring to the proof-but congratulations.

I don't think anyone has issue with the price or the product. Its the lies that Barry is always telling. Things like this have happened more times than I can count. I won't buy books from him because of it. Why not just advertise the actual product you are selling instead of lying about the way the signature sheets are included and the limitation to get people excited.

I'll scan it when I get home from work today and will get it posted.

Carlos said he was disappointed...AND that they screwed up the order. So I would call that a complaint.

I would be very surprised if this sold on ebay for more than $175 - a profit, yes, but not dramatic. You can buy the actual book for $200 to $250.

[Randall Flagg]

I am inclined to leave this out of the Catalog.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I am inclined to leave this out of the Catalog.

I agree, and I am very surprised it was even thought to merit inclusion.

I was bored and looking for something to do.

[Randall Flagg]

I decided to go ahead and glue the signature sheets in. It came out pretty well.

[Rahfa]

Not too bad...If Gauntlet had bothered to do something similar I would have been more impressed with them.

[lophophoras]

Here is a copy of the letter and sig sheet I received:

[Fsmdr]

Thanks for taking the time to upload the letter. I wonder what Barry would say to the fact that we now have at least 3 copies accountable with just the King and Hill signature. I did not count the 4th copy as it includes a Matheson signature.

[Randall Flagg]

I'm a bit slow.
There are (should be) 10 copies of the Tor Hardback edition, sold by Gauntlet Press that have all 3 signature sheets 'placed' in. There should be 2 more that have less than 3 sheets-but certainly the King/Hill sheet.
lophophoros attests to and presents one, ur2ndbiggestfan. attests to another.
