Yeah, I blame LRB because they let the books go out without wearing dustjackets and well...reading happens.

I felt bad. So until Night Shift arrives, this will be my shelf:

Ah, Jeff, I see you're one of *those* people, hm, with your dustjacket spines turned to the back and the gilt titles facing outward?

Probably one of those people who have the toilet paper come underneath the roll rather than on top, too, I bet.

I'm with Jeff on this one. The few slipcases I have are all positioned this way. I figure it helps protect the DJ spine from sun fade.

[Ben Staad]

So that is how it happens. I've always wondered.

LOL!!! Exactly. They're very close...in fact, were expecting an unsigned gift edition in nine months.

You see Ben, when two book love each other very much...

My rule: if the slipcase spine is blank, then show the spine of the dust jacket. But if someone has worked incredibly hard to adorn that slipcase spine, then show it to the world AND deliver maximum protection for your books while you're at it. Win win.

And I don't bother with toilet paper. I only use bidets. Or a garden hose.

It's been fun! I really expected King to tweet in response "What is this shit? My lawyer will be in touch."

Congrats, Steve! I grabbed one also. I told myself I was going to stay away from GEs but this one is just too nice pass up. And I pretty much still pick up GEs/AGEs from other publishers so

[Brian861]

Looks like the GE will be here today!

My order for the Sleeping Beauties Gift Edition arrived earlier this week. I did not realize that the book was oversized, it's huge and a beauty too. Thanks Dan, Brian, Mindy and Rich.
