Later

[Ben Staad]

It is probably something with my credit union. I'm on hold now to check. Either way it was a small fee but I do track my money very closely. <insert scrooge mcduck emoji here>

EDIT/Update: Fee was not from credit union it was imposed by seller. Granted I am talking about $0.64 so it's not that big of a deal but it's not mentioned anywhere on the site or during checkout.

I wonder if that is something new. I made my purchase back in November.

That is correct. It wasn't a large transaction fee, and maybe I should have looked harder, but the fee was unexpected.

I assume you ordered from Another Universe. The standard hardcover from them and was charged for the book and shipping only.

Finally ordered a copy of Later and was charged an international transaction fee. Anyone else see that? I ordered from the "US" site.

I've merged these 2 threads.

I purchased two of the trade HC's so I can display both jackets. I asked about this via email and apparently each book comes with both jackets.

Good thinking Brain. I will use the alternative jacket on my unsigned copy, and display it next to my signed copy.

My notes have that I paid $75 for Joyland. The confirmation email I have for this one was for 89 Pounds (Currently about $119) with shipping to be added later. I assume it sill come in around the stated $150 price with shipping so it is the neighborhood of double the price. I can honestly say I have never purchased a book with 'investment' in mind. I buy based on what it is worth to me. In this case I would have purchased all three editions if I could have. I love King's prior Hard Case stories and really want these editions. Hopefully I will have two out of three. Just my views, there is no right or wrong with opinions.

I completely missed this but wouldn't have been a player anyway. I just looked and found it funny to pay $50 for one of their low quality books. Their lettered and numbered would have been a good deal though. Just the signature along should keep those investments solid.

I still kick myself for not purchasing the signed Joyland though. I think it was $90! At the time I thought that was expensive.

Like others that posted, trying to figure where one was supposed to order the book was a mess. Luckily I was only in the game for fun and wasn't eagerly anticipating getting one. Congrats to all who did, though!

Dan, if you see this, appears there are two Later threads going. If you want to considering merging them.

Congrats!

I don't really go out of my way for King, but I couldn't pass up getting something signed by him for 20% of the going rate for his signature. This will actually be my first book signed by him.

Thanks Martin,
I'm not usually too interested in author's defacing my books with a sharpie, but I've always thought I should own at least one signed by SEK. I've got loads signed by his son Joe, McCammon, Scalzi and especially Lansdale. Now I'll probably have to track down a Pratchett.

I also got a numbered copy, which will be my first SK signed (My Collectorz Book Connect database shows 115 SK titles)
I had to get up at 3:00 am but it was worth it. I saw no activity on the HCC site, so in a panic, I found the twitter post which linked straight to Forbidden Planet UK. To my disbelief, I was able to buy one immediately. I also bought an unsigned copy which is probably my first ever speculative purchase of a book. It might become hard to get down the track, and might be useful for trading. Or, I'll just keep it.

You are the second person I have seen on this forum to state that this will be their 1st SK signed book. I think that is so awesome that you guys were able to snag a copy! Congratulations!
