At the end of the day the content of the book is always the most important thing. Glad you can enjoy it.

Originally posted by Martin View PostReceived my copy today. Have only had a chance to glance through it so far. I will give my initial thoughts.
The foil stamped cloth boards are beautiful. Then end papers are also beautiful. The paper stock feels like trade paper stock, not what you would expect in a $200 book. The contents beyond the screenplays are what sold me on the book originally and they look like they will exceed my expectations. It is previously published and new materials collected. The Frank Darabont essay on why some things were changed in Shawshank looks like it will be fantastic. The story boards look cool. There is a ton of content. The book ended up at 466 pages with about 250 being the screenplays. No obvious typos but I have net begun reading the contents yet. Was it overpriced at $200. It was worth it to me but I have no idea if it will be $20 or $200 in a year. I will get some pictures up in my collection thread soon.

Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostIn my estimation, both of these movies are the best King adaptations hands down. Shawshank is a modern classic and The Green Mile should get a lot more love than I think it does. That being said, the prices for these are just too high, especially that lettered. I'm just wary if the book would match up to the price point, especially the lettered edition.

I'll pass. Love both movies but I don't care for screenplays as much. And as has been said before the quality of some recent Gauntlet Titles hasn't been that spectacular.
