My name is Alan and I'm a bookoholic...
I started doing books when I was about 4 years old.
At first is was just one or two a day...
hey....psst....yea you.....I got a book for you buddy.....a real good deal....it won't hurt a bit......it will make you feel good!
Ordered box set on Amazon Tuesday, received book's today all 1st's.nice set.
For me it was a few alphabet books, C is for Cat, D is for Dog, you know, nothing serious. Then I moved on to paperbacks, I couldn't get enough. Then the inevitable, a 'friend' introduced me to the hardbacks... I thought, just one... But then I was in deep, now it's 2 or 3 a month. S/L's when I can get them...
I can't stop..(sob)
"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
So... I'm lost: has anyone confirmed that there is indeed a "black" set?
Anyone have a delivery estimated from Target?
Mine is supposed to be delivered today.
The suspense is killing me.
I think they are going to be white.
Perhaps the black spines are actually a picture of the paperback trilogy box set....which will probably be released in a month or two.

I also suspect they will be white.
I hope they are white. I'm out of shelf space.
So yeah, not gonna be delivered today. Tracking says 7/1. Mailman just showed up. No box from Target. Long story short, it's shipped via UPS, but they partner with USPS and the box is currently at the post office on a pallet. They didn't have time to break it down before the carrier left for the day on his deliveries. So supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
