Today I was emailed a link and see I was a little off on my numbers.
First, there were 25 Roman Numeral sets produced.
Next, when published the price was $5995 ($4995 if ordered before May, 2009) and was sold out. There are 30 signatures. You can read from the link, the estimate here for the 20 signed prints was $6000 alone.
Read down to the 22 page and you can read all about it.

I know I've said it before, this book has such incredible production value. It's such a shame that King wouldn't support this project & sign even the deluxe edition.

I side with King on this one. This book has absolutely nothing to do with Stephen King. He is a writer, not an illustrator.

Rabbit Trick....I think it has tons to do with King. Imagine how his book sales would have went without cover art. He spent most of his career working with these guys.
Anyway you bring up a good point and made me ask... what has he signed that wasn't the written word.
I have this art portfolio. Are there other portfolios he signed or was this a one of?

He did sign The Rainy Season broadside. (And maybe the Letters from Hell?)
