Doctor sleep CD

Post by miserywilkes »

Hi everyone, when CD announced that they still had a few copies of the slipcased edition of Doctor sleep left over in their inventory, i have just heard off someone who said that they might be publisher's copy's (PC), what do you think, i did order a extra one as i wanted to keep one sealed, i haven't received my copy yet though but am hoping its not a PC copy, Cheers Owen

The slipcase version of Dr. Sleep is limited to 1750 copies but NOT numbered at all. Therefore no PC copies possible.

Hope this helps

Correct.

Because they are not numbered, how do you know there were only 1750 copies printed. Publishers always print lots more copies for damages/losses etc.

A publisher could continually print an unnumbered book for evermore, and no-one would be any wiser.

I would like to add that CD is one of the most reputable small publishers out there and if they say there were 1750 copies printed, I believe them.

Incidently, there is nowhere on CD's Limited Gift Edition of Doctor Sleep that says it is limited to a number. It does not mention 1750 copies anywhere.

The book may not sat it but CD's website clearly states it. This is why I print info like that out and put with my copies.
