The only editions to be signed by King are:

Slipcased Deluxe Artist Edition of 150 signed and numbered copies, signed by over 50 contributors including Stephen King, and featuring different full-color signature sheets, additional color artwork, illustrated endpapers, and original artwork by Glenn Chadbourne ($350)

Traycased Lettered Edition of 52 lettered copies, signed by over 50 contributors including Stephen King, hand-bound in leather, with a satin ribbon page marker and a deluxe hand-made traycase ($1000)

This seems to be a bit expensive. (I'm probably not ordering either.)

I recieved notice of the book from someone a few minutes ago.. however at the end of the e-mail was a spiffy disclaimer...

Errr... I'm curious as to whether that's why the ordering link isn't posted? I like to release info asap to folks that are interested, but of course I prefer to avoid any legal issues

The Big Book of NECON

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I ordered the Traycased Lettered Edition and the Deluxe Artist Edition.

Don't know why, as I already have a signed Necon XX with "The Old Dude's Ticker".

I DIDN'T pre-order SOD2 from them, but I just got their email, with no legal disclaimer attached. So I think all is well at this time. It'd be a cool book to own, but I can't see myself shelling out $350 for an anthology...

[Nerak]

I may buy the trade when it's actually out...LOL 5 years from now...

[tippy4]

Well, against my better judgement, I ordered one of the Slipcased Deluxe Artist Edition of 150 signed and numbered copies.

There was no way I was going to shell out $1000 for a lettered edition!

They really need to find a new artist. Glenn Chadbourne's stuff bugs me.

[Bev Vincent]

NECON XX is a terribly fragile book, so I haven't read most of the stories in it, many of which are reprinted here.

[Bev Vincent]

"Bob Booth is overseeing the design of this project and handling much of the work himself: from the signature sheets to the interior design to the cover, he will be crafting the look and feel of every aspect of the book. The designer is finalizing the design right now and the signature sheets are almost ready to be printed. Keep watching this space for updates!"

Bob is "Papa NECON" and with his involvement in the project I think it might be finalized faster than many of CD's projects.

[super sam]

I will pass this one.
If i was charged when it would be released.i have got the Deluxe ed.
Will try to get one on the aftermarket. (in about two years )

[thecollector]

I just recieved a general annoucment with no disclamer so it seems folks who pre-ordered recieved just a few hours advanced notice, but at least I'm free to post it

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I ordered one of the 150 AE editions.

Signed by all including King.

Should be very nice.

I ordered the 1/350 AE. I just couldn't justify "loaning" CD 1K for an indeterminate amount of time.

Edit: I ordered the 1/150 that is $350.

A-Men !!!!

I'm not ordering - doesn't buzz me at all

[wizardsrainbow]

Will pass on this one myself.

[jhanic]

If necessary, I'll also pick one up on the aftermarket when it finally gets released. I just can't see paying CD $350 now for a book that won't be out for years. (Supersam and I feel the same way, I guess!)

I don't see this one appreciating much after it's finally published anyway.

I ordered one of the 1/150 copy as well. It did say it's at the printers.

[Brice]

This is something I've never understood about this company (and I've not ordered from them myself), but do they really need people's money in advance to publish their books.? Haven't they been around long enough that they could afford to just publish them and then collect the money. I suppose I could understand a new company needing the money in advance, but I really don't understand why they would. What would they do if noone preordered their books. Would they simply not publish them at all?

[Cutter]

Actually I'm broke right now, so we'll see if any are available after the first, if so I'll buy. If not, I won't have any problem ordering a cheaper version, as I don't have to have King's signature for an extra $200.

One thing of note, CD seems to be getting their act together. They are really starting to release a lot of books, and some that we've been waiting a long time for. Slivers of Bones I must have paid 3-4 years ago, finally it's shipping!

[shnnrc01]

well,i got my A/E of 1/150.i hope the info is right and its at the printers or close to it.i might see it in my lifetime.at least my kids will enjoy it(for an hour or two before they'd probably flog it!!)

I screwed up in my post. I meant the 1/150 that is $350. I'll edit my post, but your quote will stay so the thread isn't confusing.
Thanks.

[Cutter]

well the artist edition is already gone. I guess be going for a trade edition.

EDIT: I signed up for the waiting list. This is probably good for me, as there are always people who's credit cards bounce, and since I don't have the money now, hopefully I will when (and if) a spot opens up.

[CRinVA]

Well I am way too late to get the one that I would really want - the $350 item. I recevied the initial email before the general public, but I don't chekc my personal mail only once or twice a day at work. The time stamps on the two emails were almost exactly 1 hour apart! :-(

Well I'll keep my money and maybe that is a good thing! :-)

[Patrick]

I saw the SoS-buyers early announcement and the later one (about 1-1/2 hours later) at the same time as I tend to check my personal email later in the morning than these types of announcements are typically made from the East Coast.

I figured all the King-signed books were probably sold out by then, and in any case I can't spare the $350 this morning, so I just ordered the $40 unsigned Trade Edition.
