Yup, got mine yesterday too. it's a HUGE book. Kind of disappointed in the flat red no embossment, markings, or any type a flare slipcase, but the book itself is beautiful.Earlier today, I opened my garage door to find a package from Cemetary Dance!!

I just got two more proofs. I've added them to my Collections thread. I've got two more on order. After they arrive, I'll be adding them also.
The two I got are proofs of McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thriiling Tales with The Tale of Grey Dick and Nebula Awards 28 with King's essay on the passing of Fritz Leiber, A World Without Fritz.

The actual book man. The real deal. Yeah, it's got a no frills slipcase that really is disappointing considering what I paid for the book, but after looking at the other slipcased books from CD (except Secretary of Dreams) I shouldn't have been surprised as they (only two that I own) have plain slipcases too. I think would have chosen another color besides red though.the actual book or an arc?Earlier today, I opened my garage door to find a package from Cemetary Dance!!

Now I just have to find a copy of Wood's Uncollected, Unpublished for a decent price.
I'll have to do the picture thing later, this weekend probably. But I will post some.

Got my Non-Ficiton book today - check one off from CD Pubs; three to go! :-)
Not thrilled with the Red slip case either, but the book itself is great! Big too! About 1/8inch taller than LSOE and about 1/3 wider!

Might one of you post a photo of two of NON-FICTION? I'd love to see what you're all talking about. Thanks.
PM me. I think I have a spare.
Here are a few pics Patrick.
Stephen King: The Non-Fiction ( I have a print of the cover pic that CD sent me ages ago; it is pretty big - perhaps 18" x 24")
With the ugly plain Red Slip Case
Signature Page - Rocky Wood's Signature is basically unreadable!
This shows the size relative to a more normal sized book.

I love it. You could tell it was loved before me as well, by the care that was given in shipping it. Very proud of my new book.
I agree beautiful book sleeplessdwarf both of the M.V. Ziesing books are gorgeous
If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
Ziesing made good quality books (shame he messed up the inside on Insomnia). I hate that he's no longer publishing.

Sam, I have not looked through the book other than what I took the pics of. What did he mess up on?
The text that was used was from an earlier version and had typos and grammatical errors from my understanding. I don't know who was responsible for that mix-up, but Ziesing took the heat for it. He made some really nice books. I have several that he published and all of them are well made and beautiful.

Ah, ok. Good thing I have another copy for reading as I would never read this one ofc. Thanks for the info.
Hmm, this was the edition I read when I read the story, although it was the gift edition. I don't remember a lot of errors, but then again it was a while ago when I read it. *shrug*
Geoff
I've not read that edition. I read the Viking edition and have made no comparisons.
