Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired by Stephen King ~ Centipede Press

[Randall Flagg]

Do we want to start making note of what King-related extras we got packed in our boxes, or is that bad etiquette?

I'd like to hear what goodies people received.

[Brice]

I would too.


Somewhat related: About a month or so ago I bought a couple books of jerad's; not centipede books...just some books of his own he was selling and he sent me a couple sewn unbound centipede books too (I guess these are called F&Gs if I understand correctly?) Anyhow I hadn't seen any of centipede books first hand before so I thought that was pretty neat and very cool of him. When I'm done paying for my knowing darkness I'll definitely be getting more.

Agreed.

It's not bad etiquette. We love to share on this board.

Regarding Scribner, I know that Mark Stutzman artwork isn't present and it has nothing to do with the publisher. He did the artwork for Cell, Everything's eventual, Duma Key, Lisey's Story and From a Buick 8

Well, as far as King-related items, I got three copies of what look to be printer's proofs (on nice toothy paper) that are on paper about twice as big as the book pages. I got one of the Shining HC art, one of the newly commissioned "Hedge Lion" art, and one of the Alex McVey Randall Flagg portrait. I also got a nice glossy stock printer's proof of the numbering page (that says this is "no 2") with the CG Mist artwork at the bottom. I also got a cardstock ad for the book which uses the "I am the Doorway" hand (from the Night Shift paperback) as the image.

Pretty cool stuff.

Thank you for including such wonderful bonus treasures Jerad!


Has anybody else gotten theirs yet? I really want to hear what other people got. Of course, I might get jealous, but I'm curious!

I am guessing the slipcase with the blue pic from the old paperback of "the stand" doesn't come with the "basic" cheapest edition?? if so, i hate that. so much nostalgia when i see that pic. my first king book.

[wahlers]

I just got the basic trade edition (no number, no signature, no anything but the book) and the slipcase has the Stand paperback cover on one side and the Desperation painting on the other.

[gsvec]

This guy must've gotten a deal on Amazon or something - NINE??

[Patrick]

Gretchen, I tried to fix your non-working link, but it just went to a picture of that cute little bumping jar that now shows in your post. Was there supposed to be something more?

[gsvec]

Thanks, Patrick - it's fixed now. Interesting - I came back and fixed it a bit ago - maybe we were trying to do it at the same time?

[Patrick]

Good job with the link fix, Gretchen, but I miss the little guy in the jar.

Might that eBay seller be a known bookseller using a new eBay ID? Looks like they took all their photos from Jared's site.

[gsvec]

The link for the first pic in the body of the listing goes directly to centipedepress.com, the second to johnpicacio.com. Interesting. Isn't that an eBay violation of some kind?

[frik]

I finally got my Amazon copy.
The book is amazing - the packaging wasn't.
One corner of the slipcase bas slightly damaged - the book itself is mint!

Yeah, they were selling on Amazon and Buy.com for as low as $165 I think...he might be a dealer as well.

Between ebay and paypal costs, he's not making a big profit...he's trying to make a few bucks off his $30 shipping.

Either way - yes, you could buy them at a significant discount.

[AIMB]

I just got the basic trade edition (no number, no signature, no anything but the book) and the slipcase has the Stand paperback cover on one side and the Desperation painting on the other.

okay thanks! super cool. was going to buy it anyways but this is good news.

[mikeC]

Has anyone recieved the traycased/artist edition?
If not i can take pics tonight when i pick it up and post them if anyone wants a looksee.

[Randall Flagg]

I would appreciate seeing pics.

[Patrick]

I would appreciate seeing pics.

Me too!

[mikeC]

I'm not the best photographer or have great lighting but here's some pics for you. Truly outstanding stuff, just having it near me was quite surreal, it is awesome!
The box was almost as big as my table.

Case feels almost like felt/velet


hope this doesnt make anyone cringe seeing a CD book but it's just to give you a size perspective


what book is this story from?

superblurry sorry


book of bound prints and the super cool endpapers

Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful

I wonder if I have to register it in the State of Virginia as a weapon

After seeing how tall it is I think it's time to add additional shelving to my closet
