Simon and schuster ghost brothers of darkland county

[Tommy]

was it included in the purchase price or was it extra?

[srboone]

I purchased it from Overlook for the opening night program and pics.

As cool as this sounds, it's a definite pass for me. I have other purchases that are way priority over this. Sure looks like an interesting combination of King and Mellencamp. Not a big fan of Mellencamp really though.

It is cool to see the US and CDN price marked as the same. Usually the price difference is totally senseless. I guess with 4 or 5 years of the CDN dollar being at or above par with the US, we will see more of this.

Anyone notice that Simon calls it a Hardcover, Overlook calls it a deluxe hardcover and Cd calls it a "leather-tine flexible cover" Which is it?

"leather-tine flexible cover" is the phrasing S&S had in their pre-announcement literature about the edition. I'm very interested to see what it actually is!

Depends on the week!

LOL! Very true.

Depends on the week!

Weeks sounds better then months because weeks are shorter.

You mean months? (which are made of weeks, or course...)

Thanks for the reply. Bad news. Hopefully, it will not slip back any more.

Well this has been a long time coming I guess a few more weeks does not matter.

Yes this does sound like a cool package. Has the release date been moved? When I look on Amazon it's saying June.

Yeah, I just saw that. Waiting to hear back from our sales rep with more info!

[Ben Staad]

Correct, no slipcase that we know of, but we're really interested to see how all of this is packaged! It sounds like it could be very cool.

The CD description appears to be the more accurate one, I have seen it described as a hardcover as well as a flexible cover with a hardcover slipcase as below, I do not believe CD is providing the slip case (I could be wrong though):

BOOK INFORMATION:
11 X 11 book with leather-tine type flexible cover with a hard cover slipcase.
Includes the printed libretto plus three disc CD/DVD set,
handwritten lyrics and other notes from the production.
CDs will include music and dialog excerpts.
DVD will feature interview footage with Stephen, John and T Bone plus footage of John recording the show closing song “Truth.”
