Stephen King the Doubleday Years

Damn that's a great cover!

It is - I love it!
It would have been even better without the title. That kinda spoils it for me.

Interesting. I wonder if the actual release of Carrie, and people seeing how nice it is, and the announcement of Salem's Lot will push Carrie Gift Edition to sell out?

Makes sense, I think more and more people will want to guarantee a complete set.

Could be! We could have sold out the CARRIE Gift Edition three or four months ago if we had let the distributions have even a fraction of the copies they wanted, but we decided it was better to have the copies available for a while for the fans who show up to the party late. Next week, I'm going to run a report to see how many of the 'Salem's Lot customers did not buy Carrie from us. That doesn't mean they didn't get it somewhere else, of course, but I'm just kind of curious.

I will admit, I love the CD editions of Carrie and really like the story of Carrie, but if you compare Carrie to future King works like 'Salem's , Shining, Stand....I don't think there is any comparison. I think more people would be interested in 'Salem's Lot vs Carrie.

Also, maybe the fact that the PS edition of Carrie being released the same year may have stopped some collectors from getting the CD edition?

Absolutely, I'm sure that's a factor for some. Also, some collectors probably felt like if they bought Carrie they would "have" to buy the rest for Collector OCD reasons and they weren't sure if they could budget that with their other book buying, etc.

In the end, I just hope that those how bought CARRIE are pleased with the production, and I hope those who buy the other books in the set feel the same way as those titles are published.

I'm definitely pleased with both the GE and AE of Carrie, beautiful books.

[frik51]

I'm buying a complete set of the AE's (already paid for) - and ordered the Carrie gift directly from CD, but it's cheaper for me to order from PS Publishing, so I'll get my Salem's Lot gift from Pete.
At least, I'm assuming PS will carry this edition as well??

I would imagine they will.

[frik51]

Do I detect just a slight bit of doubt here, Dan? I hope it's a certainty PS will carry the gift, otherwise I'll have to order from CD.

Pete is getting lots of copies of the Gift Edition. He's our "UK/Europe" bookseller of choice!
