Centipede will be releasing.....

[TacomaDiver]

I picked up the unsigned edition - I can't justify the expense on the signed on. Surprised by how long the signed edition lasted, but maybe we all followed the instructions and no one posted the link.

Signed copies still show on the page so still not sold out?

No, they went fast. If you click on the signed order button PayPal will tell you it's sold out.

Maybe I don't lurk the right social media areas to note otherwise, but I'm kinda surprised at the muted chatter on the King book. I know that its not signed by him and its not one of his big books, but even as a non-King collector, I was pretty excited by this announcement. The Long Walk is one of the few King books I've been meaning to get around to reading AND its being done by Centipede so it was nothing but good news for me. I know that this isn't one of King's "big" books like The Shining, The Stand, and whatnot, but I think it's a great selection for Centipede Press as it kinda hits Jerad's penchant for doing older overlooked books, and while one can't really say that King is "overlooked," The Long Walk fits that area in his bibliography. I'm sure that everyone is now hoping that Centipede will do all the Bachman books, but I think Rage will be the deal-breaker on that one.

Even though I have a 1st ed. HC of THE BACHMAN BOOKS, I went ahead and snagged an unsigned edition of the Centipede volume. It looks like a terrific production. Bev Vincent’s signature and a slipcase, though, and a smaller limitation didn’t make it worth for me three times the unsigned edition, especially with all the Centipede titles still to come in the next couple months.

How much do you think We Have Always Lived in the Castle will cost? More than $500?

I'm hard pressed to think that it is going to be over $500. I haven't heard a thing about its production values, but I just don't see it getting anything near the treatment that Hill House did.

I don't mind the extra price for the slipcased edition. I can see, especially without a King signature, why going the unsigned edition route would be very popular.

I'm also surprised how Jerad kept the book under wraps for so long. I had no clue that this was in the works. I'm sure that was deliberate. People were rather impatient for Dune, so I'm sure not wanting to deal with the constant questioning about when a King book would be finished went into his thinking.

As far as saving money for all the upcoming Centipede titles, I can relate. All the backed up books have been coming fast and furious lately. It's been a very expensive last few months from Centipede with the future looking just as heavy...especially with the next Dune book on the horizon. With the recent uptick in the pricing of all limited editions, I'm re-evaluating my book collecting habits. I might need to scale back a bit in 2023.

I snagged the unsigned as well. Much like Ron, I couldn't justify the cost of the signed limited, though I would love to have a slipcase for the unsigned.

I snagged an unsigned copy as well. This is my favorite Bachman book. Like others I could not justify the more expensive edition especially since all editions come with Mylar cover protection.

It's a pretty short book, I don't think much more than $200.00 depending on the bells and Whistles.....

I don't recall Jerad mentioning in his newsletter that WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE is being done to the production standards of the original oversized edition of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. That said, that doesn't mean it isn't, just that I don't recall him saying so, and I do recall his mentioned it a number of times leading up to HILL HOUSE, so my fingers are crossed that the trim size and whatnot will mirror the smaller, cheaper 2nd ed. of HILL HOUSE that he released, putting it somewhere perhaps between $125 and $200, I'd guess.

Anyone else pick up the special that Jared sent out this morning for those who purchased The Long Walk (Alan Dean Foster's The Director Should Have Shot You)? I originally passed when that book was first offered by Centipede but couldn't do so a second time at the $8 price-point. Have never read anything by this author, but have fingers crossed that this book will be enjoyable. Hoping that I will be since I am a fan of a lot of those movies.

I didn't see that offer, but I did pick up Foster's book when it was originally for sale, and I really enjoyed it. It was a shame to see it linger for so long...I really think it's a great, entertaining memoir, worth many times that $8 pricetag.

I'm surprised that it hasn't sold out yet either. Of course, it had a 1500-copy print run (500 signed and 1000 unsigned), which might be one of the reasons its still hanging around on Centipede's website. I really need to get around to reading my copy. (I actually just really need to start reading again...)
