Mine was purchased from B&N and says Barnes and Noble. Maybe I'll go to Books-a-Million and see what they have.So I just got back from the B&N down the road, and most of the copies on the shelf had the "Barnes & Noble" text. A few were still the regular one. Anyway, I picked up a copy.They are everywhere EXCEPT for Barnes & Noble.

I just got back from my Barnes & Noble and all their copies say Barnes & Noble. On to some other places tomorrow.

No need to drive around (unless you want to). I'll send you the generic copy. It's from Costco and was $18.43 with tax. Media mail shipping is $4.00.

I think the Barnes & Noble one is the standard cover. That's the quote from the book after all. The other cover is probably out of consideration for non-B&N booksellers.

No I am not. And this is why... its ridiculous. Like there must be 8 or 9 editions of this books now... while I love some (the blue cover and page ends) I am not going to go buy it. I will take the couple hundred and get a copy of a signed book.You are obviously not a completist. I enjoy all the variations.

I wish everyone would stop using the term, "completist". If you don't have the lettered editions, you are not a completist!
That is what I took... they have everything from lettered down to the magazines he did in high school. All of it... promo kits, posters, anything produced with his name on it basically!

I think of it more as a completist collector of King's work. I wouldn't include "posters" etc., unless King actually drew the poster. I would certainly include lettered editions.That is what I took... they have everything from lettered down to the magazines he did in high school.

What's Kings smallest Lettered Print run? I know Firestarter is only 26. Anything smaller?
Anyway, my point is, if a Lettered makes a completest..we can only have 26 or less completest in the world.

I guess I should have said a "completist within a budget". Kind of awkward, though.

Why can't someone be a "completest" of King's first US editions, etc.? I don't see anything wrong with someone wanting every variation of the first editions if that is your thing. Completest doesn't necessarily have to mean everything King ever produced.
Which would make sense.
Or.. how to know that this is not an actual "product placement", sponsored by B&N?
Probably not product placements can sometimes be tricky to recognised as such.
I always wondered if, for instance, some famous authors were getting paid for putting the name of a specific car, or product or whatever...

There are examples of authors who are accepting money for product placement, but King has such a long history of mentioning name brands in his work that I think this is just another case of that. It's not as if there are a ton of chain bookstores to mention any more.

You don't have to actually own every version of everything. You just have to want to and make the attempt.

They probably all would have said B&N on the outside, but Amazon likely (IMO) shit a brick.
