    The slipcases will be available to everybody who purchased their copy from CD. You should get a email soon.


    Speaking of slipcases, have you guys seen the Overlook Connection Newsletter that mentions they will have a special slipcase that will house the Scribner edtion of BB along with the audio?

    Ordered 2 books and 2 slipcases. I figure the CD books will be out first and be considered the true first editions. At only 10,000 true first editions for a King book compared to 1,000,000 for his other new books its a good deal. I know I probably won't see the slipcases for a year or more but I LOVE slipcased books so when I do get them it will all be good.
    Need first editions of:
    1.Carrie
    2.Salem's Lot
    3.The Shining
    4.Night Shift
    5.THE PASSAGE uncorrected proof

    I just hope that my memory doesnt go and i forget all of the items on backorder. And you are right, by the time it finally arrives, who remember what you paid a couple years ago?

    Someone on Sk's site actually called SK and CD out...basically saying that he was "duped". THe mod at SK's site actuall sounded frustrated and told the person "to educate himself" by reading the reasons why BB was not going to be exclusive to CD. I found all that amusing.

    I share the same opinion about the price of the book and assume that it doesnt have much wiggle room for the value to go up anytime soon. WIth that in mind, im sure that someone on ebay will sell below cost.
    Plus, here lately CD has made me like im in a abusive realtionship..i give and give..and i never see anything from their end.

    only way he would be "duped" is if the book doesn't show up. Anyone who buys a book because of its Limited run and then is unhappy that there are second and third prints is missing the point. IF there is only 10000 in the First print and there are identifiers to tell the first run from later runs... the book is EXACTLY what he contracted for and may well increase in value.... Just look at the first print gunslinger compared to second and later prints.

    I love the S/L's as well. Having worked in the binding business before I truly appreciate a well made, well thought out book that you can't just go to wal-mart and buy. However I am not into throwing away money and if I can get these same books cheaper a few years down the road then I don't mind waiting. If I thought the book was going to go up in value I would go ahead and buy them.

    In the end however all that matters is getting a book you love and enjoy, the money is secondary.

    IMO..this book will never be able to reach the mountain that the gunslinger is on.
    It was my impression that when the person said that he was "duped"...he meant that he would have been inclined to buy the cheaper version(sounded like a regular joe/jill and not a collector)....
    And your right..its "your" abusive relationship...do what you will.
    Not saying that I will never order from CD again.. but, here lately..i have decided to give them a two year window to get the book out..if not, then if the explanation that i receive is nothing but smoke blowing up my arse with a smile..then I choose to get my money back.

    i don't mean to imply that BB will fetch 500 to 800 for the first print in 20 or 30 years just that a first print will be more valuable than the later prints. if a Regular joe is only interested in price then he should get his money back and buy it cheaper from a megastore.... I kinda doubt that a "regular joe non collector" is going to take the time to grouse on a sk bullitin board IMO

    I don't like the sudden announcement of the slipcase. First, the book was $25 plus $7 in shipping/handling. Now, the slipcase is $17 and ANOTHER $7 in shipping/handling. They had to have known they were going to do a slipcase, so why not offer them together and reduce the "handling" charges. So a total of $56 for this "set"? That may not be a lot to some, but to me, it is just irresponsible and a way to squeeze out a few extra bucks from the consumer.

    the books will not actually be signed by King.

    What's the difference between this and The Regulators produced by Charnel House? Stephen King never signed that book - he signed a 'check' that was mounted onto the page.
    I asked Mindy at CD whether the signed baseball card will be left loose or done in a similar way to The Regulators - she responded that the baseball card will be inserted into the book, similar to The Regulators.
    Now I know that a lot of people on TDT.com have that book and love it and have no problem with the way it was signed - in fact think it's a cool idea.
    To me, a signed Stephen King baseball card mounted onto the page of a book about baseball is a pretty cool idea as well, but perhaps the fact that it's CD producing it and not a superior 'specialist' publisher makes it not so.

    I agree Clacke. I think the King baseball card signed by him is a VERY COOL thing. I ordered one of the S/L for my closet.

    I also ordered a 1st edition to set along with it. I'm not getting the slipcase for the 1st edition but very excited about the announcement.

    Well, I just ordered the Blockade Billy slipcase. I wasn't going to, but then I remembered that I didn't order the case for Six Stories and have always regretted it. I figured that I could regret NOT getting one later on.

    As far as not remembering what you've ordered, I keep my collection on an Excel file. One tab is for only the things I've ordered, when I ordered them, from whom I ordered them, and how much I paid for them. This keeps things straight for me. As the items arrive, I delete them from this tab and put them in the collection depending on what they are--I've got separate tabs for SK books, proofs, magazines, anthologies, books about King, promotional items and art.

    I think having the card tipped in is a GREAT idea. My biggest fear would have been the card itself and how it would be dealt with. I think this is a perfect way to deal with that. HOWEVER, I simply feel that the price was far too much. Combine that with CD's current track record, and I really had no desire to purchase this S/L (never thought I'd say that about a King S/L, but there it is).

    Yeah, the card tipped in, vs. a bound-in signature page is really no sweat to me...like was said, it's the same model as the Regulators, and that's pretty neat...this the same idea.

    Even if the card was loose, it's presence with a special edition consistututes the s/l edition (I'd feel differently if the book was the same as the trade) and while not as neat as being mounted, would be okay.

    I have NO doubt in my mind that this s/l will be published on time, in good order, along with the CD 'first' edition...certainly by the end of the summer.

    I also have NO doubt that the lettered edition will never appear...they've screwed themselves on it...they can't publish it before SOD I and II, because everybody who bought that will flip out about it, and if they refunded everybody they couldn't afford to publish the BB lettered edition...
