Brian, I have a couple of questions... too everyone that bought the first 750 Artist Editions... will they all be contacted first to get their book with matching number? Will the Artist Edition only be a print run of 750 for each novel? Would it be safe to say most were bought by individual customers or book dealers?? The reason I ask the last question is, I think there is a LARGE value to have a matching complete set. I think, depending on what you do with Salems / Stand (being fan favorites and LARGE shoes to fill from last S/L's) you may see an increased demand for the Artist Edition. Do you think the majority of books will be same number buyers??? Meaning over the course of the next few books do you see a VERY large portion of the 750 going to match sets so there will not be many out there for sale? Thanks Brian

He mentioned (don't remember where) that people who bought the previous release will get advance notice for the next one.

I know that... and thanks for pointing that out... I meant do book dealers get their matching numbers too.... so ALL 750 people. I was trying to gage the amount of same sets vs loose numbers

[Joe315]

I see... I believe that they do get matching numbers if they request them.

I think there will be matching sets but I don't think there will be many for sale all together. If someone puts together a set I think they will keep it. As stated by some here, they will only be getting one or two of the releases for various reasons.

What the value will be, remains to be seen. I think there will be some premium to the sets but they will be easier to put together than say the Dark Tower set because of the release schedule and because everyone knows what books and how many, will be released.

When 'Salem's Lot is announced, those who ordered Carrie will have first right of refusal of the matching number and so on for each successive book.

Brian, if I order my Artist Edition of Carrie from PS - will I be able to match my number with them for the other 5 titles?

Thanks!

You have to remember that PS will be issuing a different book than CD, and that if you have matching PS numbers you may not be able to get the same matching CD numbers.

I have a confirmed number with PS. I also now have a confirmed number with CD. I just made sure they were the same number! (14)

I too have been able to match my PS and CD numbers. Same with SubPress for that matter. Most pubs will go out of their way to help you if they can. Nikki from PS even sent my number for Pet Sematary to SubPress for their lot of stateside distribution when the book went OOP quicker than I expected on the PS website.

Everyone who I've worked with, publisher-wise, has given phenomenal customer service.

I would say there will probably never be a "new" set in book collecting like The Dark Tower series simply because of when the series started, how small the first print run was for the first book, how "limited" the availability of information was in the pre-Internet days, etc.

Dealers will be getting matching numbers if they request them. Not all do ask for matching numbers, actually. We've never asked why, but we've noticed it in the past.

I think most of the collectors who ordered the AE or the Lettered Edition through us are in it for the long haul with this set, but that's just a guess.

Just ordered my Artist Edition of Carrie from PS. I'll have #1 to match the other five releases please thanks Brian

Yep. That is a very hard set to compile.

Good luck with THAT! I believe many of the 'low' numbers are already taken by what CD call 'LifeTimers' I was lucky with #14, I would expect #1 to be taken

Thanks Brian! You will not go over the 750 will you for any book?

Yeah I was kidding............................ Kinda

I believe somebody here scored #1 from PS in the current Anniversary series. I think maybe KingFan24, but I may be wrong on that.

[Brian James Freeman]

Nope, 750 is the max for the books in this set. We'd hate the idea of having copies of one book with a higher print run that could never, ever be part of a matching set.

Brian

[The Library Policeman]

I never bothered matching my numbers for the PS anniversary editions but it will be cool to have these 6 matched

[The Library Policeman]

And I saved roughly $30 if you take into consideration US shipping I think. Money's money, right?

T-Dogz_AK47 has #1 of Christine and Pet Sematary.

This will be interesting to see the reactions of those that ordered the artist edition of Carrie from cd

Why?

[MandaBunny]

Perhaps because of this:

.....
We’ve heard from a lot of collectors asking if Glenn Chadbourne will be illustrating a book in this set, but Glenn is actually contributing in a different way: he’s providing the B&W artwork for the Gift Edition Limitation Page and the two color paintings for the Artist Edition Signature Sheets for EVERY book in this set!

You can see now the artwork he’s provided for Carrie on the product page on the ARTWORK tab:

http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/king09

We think having Glenn contribute the artwork for the limitation sheets in each book be a nice way to connect every book in the set together and Glenn is delivering some of his most chilling Stephen King artwork to date.
....
Thank you, as always, for your continuing support!
