And part of that price does guarantee the purchaser first rights to the next King (only King) book when and if Suntup does another S/L. If the rights were not involved, I feel the price would be lower. My lettered copy would have went for a whole lot more had I know how that was going to work but hind sight is 20/20.

Originally posted by jeffingoff View PostThere's been some discussion on the TDT forum about the concern over whether it's an IF or a WHEN when it comes to Suntup doing another King edition. I've got to say that Paul must have something in the works. ALL of his Covers Collection and the Dragon Rebound books are King works. Paul is focused on King. And King has got to be thrilled with the way Misery turned out. From the quality of the production to the attention to detail to the reverence Paul has paid to the book. I'd imagine King would have a hard time saying no. And I think Suntup customers would start getting pretty concerned if the third or fourth book wasn't a King book.

Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostSince Paul is a big King fan, I see that as a possibility, though since I'm not a big King collector, I hope he branches out more. I think that their policy of right of first refusal from both MISERY and HILL HOUSE is very generous. Since neither are part of a series, they could easily have made it "first come, first served" with each new book.

I believe everyone who ordered a Limited Edition of Misery on this board has theirs by now. I will begin posting photo's on my collection thread. If you are still trying to avoid seeing the details please avoid my collection thread for a while.

Have you all seen the news on the tdt forum? The non-sequential pages in Misery? I think you have, Martin. I thought you commented.
I think there might be a quake among the collectors. Some want them all fixed or none fixed to avoid a tiered valuation of the edition. I don't get that. Not all copies are going to be equally handled and preserved. There are going to be differences in how each copy is treated once it leaves the publisher. It was published in one state. The error seems to affect all numbered editions. What happens after that is up to the individual collector. The people arguing that the solution needs to be blanket and total have never been in a society of humans before, apparently.

Originally posted by Dan Hocker View PostI can't really speak for Paul, but it's also not really a feasible thing to fix. Especially once the books have already been shipped out to customers. Unless he used a different binding method than I'm familiar with, you can't really pull those pages out and rebind them (at least not easily). You pretty much have to scrap the whole thing or large parts of the book and start over. That can get expensive really quickly. Plus blanket coverage will be impossible since he's already shipped them out. There are some people who won't care and won't want to send their copies back.

I haven’t seen the news but I had an error copy that included two artist signature pages, and two title/copyright pages that I sent back to Paul a little over a week and a half ago. So I’m totally unsure if my copy had other strange page issues. That’s actually why I elected for Paul to fix it so I wouldn’t have a less than perfect copy.

Originally posted by jeffingoff View PostYeah, there are more people than I would have expected saying to leave it as it is. But what about others who will be mightily bothered by the imperfection? It's a sticky spot for sure. I have no idea how Paul is going to go about this. But I can't imagine his response will please everyone based on what I'm reading at TDT. If Paul can thread that needle without drawing fire from somewhere, then I'd say he should run for office!CD Email: [email protected]
