Hi all
Just found this great forum!
I managed to get a copy from Hatchards and was really impressed with the service. Quick delivery and very well packaged.
I cannot believe I have finally got a signed Stephen King book. I am so chuffed!

Re: UTD UK special edition
mine was shipped on 30th november too, but nothing arrived (Italy) Let's hope for tomorrowjhanic wrote:I got the notice from Waterstone's that my copy had shipped via courier on Monday, November 30. I received it today, Wednesday, December 2! That was fast, especially considering that it came all the way from Great Britain! I truly didn't expect it until at least the beginning of next week.
I got #231/500.

Re: UTD UK special edition
is this edition selling really few copies or is it just my feeling ? 4 days and still available with only 500 copies... And no limitations like the US one...

Re: UTD UK special edition
Im surprised about this too, especially as its a far nicer edition that the US one. I would have thought quite a large number of people would have bought multiple copies just to sit on until the price goes up.thl wrote:is this edition selling really few copies or is it just my feeling ? 4 days and still available with only 500 copies...

Anyone got any other thoughts on why this is not selling?

Re: UTD UK special edition
In general the UK editions are just not as widely collected as the US editions, and Simon and Schuster has huge press coverage and reach, a larger circle of people bought up this limited edition then the "usual" crowd
On the other hand you're not going to know about the UK limited edition unless you're a fairly serious collector and/or get to one of handful of sites that cover limited editions.

Re: UTD UK special edition
Does the U.K. limited edition include the Mathew Diffee illustrations in the book? And what is the page count?

Re: UTD UK special edition
It does not contain the illustrations inside the book. The endpapers are the color map. It has 896 pages; less than the US edition, but that's because of different typefaces, pagination, etc. It's the same as the UK trade hardcover. The limitation page is not numbered, so I guess you could say this edition has 898 pages if you want to get technical.
The s/l edition does include the package of cards in a separate compartment at the top of the slipcase.
