I know CD will do these books justice and they will be worth owning even without the sig; but, if the original version of The Stand is not included in this set, I'll probably wonder to myself "Why bother?" I'll probably feel differently in 2016 when it is finally announced (and I have one or two of the them on my shelf), but right now, it's just depressing to think about.
I think too much....
But the Complete & Uncut Edition of The Stand is much better...

I agree.....Squire you think to much.. I love the uncut version of The Stand.That being said having just read the original Stand it was very good. I do believe that it was already announced that the book would be the uncut version. Seems kind of strange being that these are the original first six books. I am going to get it either way. My guess is that it probably has to do with what Stephen King wanted.
Yeah, I'll probably get it too. It's just that, right now, a whole generation doesn't know how great that book once was--all due to the author's ego. He has a hard time with the fact that Kubrick's version of The Shining is great and that his vanity project ruined one of his true masterpieces.
Oh well. I will always have my 11th print trade of the original.
