It was taken directly from the Choo-Choo story in The Waste Lands, so it was written by King. In a sense, it's a King book or an excerpt

I'd say it's in the same category as "The Bachman Books", no? I mean he wrote it, but just under a different name.

Jerome said that this book will also have a short intro by Steve , and he seemed to know about that release before it was announced so...

To me, the ComiCon book is the one that feels more "authentic". It matches exactly what was found by Jake in the DT books. Having SK's name and an intro lessens it for me.
Having said that, the chances of me ever getting a CC version are pretty slim, so i'm happy that i can at least have a version in my collection!
EDIT: Now if someone could just publish that book of riddles with the last page still intact...
"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
This.
Personally, I'm just glad to be able to get a copy of this whether it be the CC version or not. I was NEVER going to pay more than $100 for the CC version so it seemed unlikely to ever own ANY version of this. I agree that having "beryl evans" as the author makes it more authentic but I can absolutely enjoy the fact that King's name is on this along with an intro since they are originally his words
I think if King had actually signed the books himself as Beryl Evans then I think it'd relate more to The Bachman Books. Of course that price would have probably been double what it is now. I'd probably go as high as $250 for the CC edition but would prefer to find one with out a Evans sig. Not sure if they'll ever get that low but patience is the key if you want this one for a very reasonable price. If I would have had the funds; I would have bid on the HF auction and not blinked an eye on what it went for.MUST HAVE?...I DON'T THINK SO!

Probably a better choice than Amazon. CD will pack it for shipping much better. The book seems prone to bumped corners, etc.

I agree as well. I would rather pay the $8 shipping from CD and get a nice copy versus the free shipping from Amazon and get their crappy package job.Agreed.Probably a better choice than Amazon. CD will pack it for shipping much better. The book seems prone to bumped corners, etc.

Yay! Finally found a way to get my kids (6 and 4) introduced to Stephen King. They already love trains, so this will be an easy transition.
Don't forget The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon pop-up. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it and reads it. She has her own copy.

Great point! I have the pop-up, but forgot about that one. I'll need to re-read that soon.Don't forget The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon pop-up. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it and reads it. She has her own copy.

You are missing out on "The Eyes of the Dragon". Written by King, dedicated to his (at the time a young girl) Naomi.
I bought a couple trade copies from CD. I'm much more at peace with not owning the limited edition any time soon given the resale prices.
