Nice!

My Dad has just picked up 4 copies of the W H Smith exclusive for me

[peteOcha]

Maybe it's a bootleg....

And maybe it'll have crazy illustrations like Grant's German IT!?

The airports usually have small paperbacks if i remember!

i thought I read somewhere that the paperback was due in October... Or that might have been for 11/22/63, not sure if I got the two mixed up. Sounds pretty exclusive to me as I'm sure there are no readily available paperback versions of the new DT book available.

So I'm sat at London City airport for my monthly trip to Scotland, and i'm looking at a trade paperback version of TWTTK which claims to be an 'airport exclusive' - anyone know if the exclusive tag is warranted?

But... UTD and 11/22/63 US where limited... to US citizens with US credit card... (yeah that p****d me off big time and the only reason I'll buy something from them in the future would be if they include a one day ticket @ disneyland with SK as personal guide)

Didn't prevent me from getting them down here (although I really like your SK / Disneyland idea - bloody brilliant !!!!)

See what you mean John, but I guess I was referring more to what I consider to be the "real" Limited Editions (to be honest, I personally don't count the UTD and 11/22/63 amongst my own little collection as being limited editions, they're just, as you say, trades with an additional page or two stuck in them). To me, limiteds are of the Grant, CD, Philtrum, etc etc ilk where they truly are productions

You know you're bigtime whem MP mentions you in a skit!

Pete, you know W.H. Smith, don't you. It was mentioned in Python's "Bookshop" skit.

"No, well we don't have 'Rarnaby Budge' by Charles Dikkens with two Ks, the well-known Dutch author, and perhaps to save time I should add that we don't have 'Karnaby Fudge' by Darles Chickens, or 'Farmer of Sludge' by Marles Pickens, or even 'Stickwick Stapers' by Farles Wickens with four M's and a silent Q!!!!! Why don't you try W. H. Smith's? "
"I did. They sent me here."

Ah! You're right!

Grant, on this we're going to have to disagree. The last two "limiteds" published by Scribner (Under the Dome and 11/22/63) have been terrible--simply a blank sheet, signed by King, in the book. Nothing really special about those.
