Looks great, of course.
Are these photos any different from the 9th and 10th ones down (if I'm counting correctly) on the "Photos" tab of http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/king10? I'm not trying to be a d!ck; just curious if I'm missing what's actually new about these particular photos.
I think we're still waiting to see what the lettered edition looks like, and since photos are the closest I'll come to that, I can't wait to see those as well.

Originally posted by Brian James Freeman View PostThey would have bought those copies from one of the major book distributors, I suspect, so it should be just like the copies we're selling. Slipcased and shrink-wrapped. Check for any wear and tear when you receive your copy, though, because those copies have now been shipped several times and sat in several warehouses along the way. But if you find a problem, B&N should make returns nice and easy for you.

Originally posted by St. Troy View PostI'm toying with the idea of buying the CD edition of Carrie and happened to stumble across a listing for it on Barnes & Noble for $20+ less than the CD price.
Any chance there's something different with the B&N product, no slipcase etc. (although the picture on their site shows the slipcase)?
While I like B&N, I generally prefer to support specialty sellers when I can (in this case, CD), but going B&N might make it an easier sell to the better half.
Anything I should know about this before moving ahead?

Well....it was a bit early this morning when I responded to your post.
Must have been half asleep still.

Originally posted by frik51 View PostI don't think PS is doing the Doubleday set. I spoke to Pete a couple of months ago, and he mentioned the books they were going to do.
So far, Pet Sematary, Carrie and 'Salem's Lot are done (Lot almost) and Night Shift will be the fourth Doubleday, but The Stand was not mentioned, nor was The Shining.
Then again, you never know how these things work out.

Originally posted by slayn666 View PostMultiple special edition books coming at nearly the same time from different publishers is just the name of the game with King. SubPress did a very attractive edition of The Shining just a couple of years ago, and PS Publishing is also doing their own editions of many of the books included in the Doubleday Years set.

Originally posted by St. Troy View PostAn interesting situation for some collectors may arise this year, given that CD's The Shining is on tap (although I'm not clear on whether it will actually be published this year), and the Folio Society also plans to release an edition of The Shining in September or October. Some out there can easily get both, but some will likely have to choose just one, and it will be interesting to see how they compare.
I know the CD volumes will be oversized and contain bonus material, and if the artwork maintains the quality level established in Carrie and SL, the CD Shining will be nothing less than great. Having said that, FS invariably does quality work, but it can vary with regard to how close it hits or exceeds expectations (they occasionally aim at a different target). At the very least, the FS Shining will be distinctive and worth considering, but I wouldn't be surprise if it is a "fine" edition that doesn't land as many punches, so to speak, as the CD edition. Still, it will be interesting to see and compare.
The 2 or 3 bits of artwork for the FS Shining I've seen, which seem to be segments of illustrations and not full illustrations, were evocative but didn't blow me away (as with CD DY artwork, which has spoken for itself), but then perhaps I just need to see more.
