I guess it's Print-On-Demand. The seller takes the order and sends it to the printer who ships it to the buyer. A lot of sellers on ebay and ABE doing that.

"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

The big question for collectors, if a book is Print-on-Demand only, what's a first edition, first printing?
Let's assume King decides to have an upcoming book Print-On-Demand. What's the first printing? Is the book that's printed on Tuesday more desirable than the book that was printed on Wednesday?

That possibility will likely soon be a reality...
There was a discussion about this a couple weeks ago spread across a couple threads.The big question for collectors, if a book is Print-on-Demand only, what's a first edition, first printing?

The pictures don't do the book justice. Sub Press did a great job on this one!

I bought a COTW today inscribed & dated month of publication,
Here's the info I received
Stephen King gifted this first edition book to then Senator William S Cohen when it was first published. Senator Cohen was building a small library at the time. When Cohen eventually became Secretary of Defense in 1997, he moved his library of approximately 10,000 books to his office in the Pentagon where his administrative staff catalogued and tagged all his books. When he left office in early 2001, he gave some of his books to his staff.
S/L signature from my COTW seems the same
He moved 10,000 books into the Pentagon?
Wow, that's an interesting room he had there!

Not sure,
This is the info from seller,
All I know is there both from Maine & the signature seemed to match from the time period,
I welcome any additional info
Interesting story.. Nice looking sig.
Thanks Explorer
The Green Mile Gift Edition

I just ordered that from Camelot. Nice!
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I wished I had of ordered one of those the GE but don't know why I never did. Unless they were sold out my the time I got to the website. If you don't mine Brian what was the cost for it? Don't mean to be noisey but I would like to know if you want just send me a p/m. Thank you Brian.
I ordered mine from Camelot and it was issue price of $150 plus shipping. I figured I wouldn't see it cheaper than that anywhere else.
$150 plus tax & shipping = $169
I've seen them go for more and I've seen most people ask as much as $250 for the set.
I've had it on my want list for a while and decided the other day that a deal like that wasn't going to last forever.
They still have them: http://camelotbooks.com/books/detail/green-miles
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I paid considerably more for mine, but it does have the additional benefit of a Remarque from Mark Geyer and it's dedicated to 'me'
