I Haven't Seen This New Set Mentioned Here Which Surprises Me
So I stumbled upon a new SK release, four books in a slipcase. I actually learned of this release on Facebook. I do not see the release mentioned here. One of the books is one I wanted and missed out on. I just preordered it.

Details? I am aware of a fall release of the three Hardcase books in a slipcase but not of a four book set. -
Go to Facebook. Find Overlook Connection. It's mentioned there although it is not an Overlook Connection release. ~CapOriginally posted by Martin View PostBooks are weapons in the war of ideas.Comment

Found it. I had never heard of this one before. The price feels a little steep for four paperback novellas in a slipcase. The mix of stories feels odd as well with two of the stories coming from the same collection. It is unique enough that I may go for it.

I'm glad you found it. I did look on Amazon and did not locate it there. I see Amazon does not list a total page count. Personally I like this short fiction collection. ~CapOriginally posted by Martin View PostBooks are weapons in the war of ideas.Comment

I wonder why the stories are not collected in just one book. ~CapOriginally posted by Martin View PostBooks are weapons in the war of ideas.Comment

Each of these paperbacks are already available so I am assuming they just chose four existing books and added a slipcase. Your question did prompt me to compare the retails and the slipcase adds $15.02 to the retail.Originally posted by c marvel View Post

Scribner released these little individual story paperbacks a few years ago. I have encountered them at Powell's. They never stock all of them at once. They usually have two or three stories stocked at a time. Each visit seems to have a different assortment. The possible exception appears to be Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption which they usually have.Comment

I never get to a book store like Powell's. Heck, I hardly ever stop at the Barnes & Noble in Merced, CA. For me this makes the option to make this purchase more appealing. ~CapOriginally posted by Martin View PostBooks are weapons in the war of ideas.Comment

I understand that. I live near a Barnes & Noble and rarely bother with it. I am so spoiled by Powell's, they are the last destination bookstore for me.Originally posted by c marvel View PostComment

Received notification of this set a few months back via a B&N email. I'll be getting it from Water Street.Comment
