The lettered ones haven't gone out yet? That sucks. I guess it'd take more time though. Wish I got my hand on a copy of that. I only got the Gift Edition which is beautiful, although the foil on the spine of mine was damaged when I got it. I really wanted the numbered edition because it was affordable but it was sold out by time I had enough money, long before actually. Wish I had advance notice...lol

Is it bound usung string like old books used to be?
Or with glue? I find glued books (the majority of them these days) lose their shape after being read.

Has anyone wrapped the gift edition up in a Brodart cover? I'm itching to read it, but I want to make sure that sweet-looking dust jacket is protected before I do. So, the real question is - if you have wrapped the DJ in a Brodart, was there a specific size that fit it, or did you have to use one of their customizable options? I ordered a "variety pack" of Brodart covers from a seller on eBay, and nothing in there even comes close to fitting my larger books (such as It or The Secretary of Dreams volumes).
Thanks everyone!

bsaenz24, yep the 10" and "12 centre fold singles are excellent for the "standard" sized hardcovers, no question - it's just the bigger book buggers that seem to work better with top fold 14" - 16" (sometimes larger) Brodart rolls

Well, because I'm too lazy to go look, could someone explain what Brodart is? And while you're at it, what are remarques? Are they valuable?"What shall I say when my lord comes a calling? What shall I say when he knocks on my door? What shall I say when his feet enter softly? Leaving the marks of his grave on my floor."

Brodart is a type of book cover. I buy them at a local book store but you can order rolls from the manufacturer. Library books are wrapped in them.

Remarques are hand drawn art added to a book that is a unique one of one art item. Value varies based on the effort the artist put into the art. Remarques vary from quick ink drawings to full color very detailed pieces of art.

I had those covers on my Harry Potter set. Everyone of which being a First edition first print and now worth a lot of money.
However like those when I recieve my gift edition of IT I wont be reading it since so few have been printed it's something to treasure and I'll just admire the illustrations probably lol.
But when I do read books I just remove the DJ and replace it when I'm done and sit it back on the shelf.
No need to go all Howard Hughes on them!
