I guess I wouldn't mind having a 1st print of Salem's Lot with the misprinted price, Fathy Cody instead of Father Callahan in the book flap and whatever the third mistake was. Of course, I can also think of a few other things that $100,000 should probably be spent on instead...

*SPOILER ALERT* ending of DT discussed
I like the idea that Roland had to go thru the whole thing again as he regains his humanity a little at a time. This time tho, he has the Horn of Eld with him which might make a difference. How many times has this cycle gone on? Who knows.
What I thought was missing was moral choice. At the top of the DT, I would have put two doors-- one with the desert at the beginning of the Gunslinger, one with the chaos that Mid-World had become when the beams broke and the DT has cumbled. Not a happy ending, but rest, if not peace for Roland.
Then I would have enemies charge him and force Roland to make a quick decision.
I would have ended the book with "The black man fled across the desert..."
Was Roland following him?
Who knows.

I've ordered a couple that I'm really looking forward to, such as In Laymon's Terms from CD and Harlan Ellison's The Glass Teat & The Other Glass Teat from Charnel House.
One that I really lust after is the Lettered Edition of the Centipede Press 'Salem's Lot. I actually got a really nice copy of the cheaper Limited edition from Betts Books recently, but I still want the Lettered.
I'd also like to buy that set of asbestos covered books I see online - Firestarter and Fahrenheit 451. I think it was around $30k for those

I've been saving up for the recently-announced Lee Brown Coye and Hannes Bok editions from Centipede Press. Their books are very expensive, but they're so well done. A nasty addiction, I guess, but at least it won't kill me - as long as one of those massive volumes doesn't crush my chest as I'm reading it on the couch! Centipede is also supposed to do Leiber's OUR LADY OF DARKNESS, which just might be my all-time favorite horror novel. I think I've also heard that Subterranean is going to release McCammon's THEY THIRST. I'm looking forward to that, too. Of course, there is also the out-of-the-blue stuff that suddenly lurches into view, like CD's just-announced Russo zombie book!

Brad is right, Subterranean plans to do limiteds of Bethany's Sin, The Night Boat, They Thirst (yes, even after the Dark Harvest limited), and Stinger. I don't have timeframes for any of these yet. Stinger was originally announced at the same time the limited of The Wolf's Hour was announced, but then they signed the deal for the first four books, and I'm not sure when Stinger will be done.
