I was hoping it would be less than that. Is it a signed edition? Maybe there is one unsigned with the same cover?
Limited: 474 signed numbered hardcover copies - $125,00
Lettered: 52 signed leatherbound copies housed in a custom traycase - $300,00
We're pleased to announce the signed limited edition of Dan Simmons's classic space opera Hyperion. Fans will be thrilled to know that we plan limited editions for the subsequent three novels in the Hyperion Cantos, as well.
From the Subterranean site.
(Now I just wish I had ordered the lettered edition as well. Unfortunately, it has been long sold-out. Great news about the upcoming editions, though. )
To be followed, of course, by A Winter Haunting!
(Unfortunately, one of Simmons'lesser efforts. He doesn't disappoint often, but there aren't many that think AWH is a worthy follow up to SoN.)
To those of you (Squire, Teri, others??) who never read anything by Dan Simmons, what the heck are you waiting for? Simmons is one of the few authors I faithfully read, whatever he comes up with. He's an excellent writer and deserves a huge following. Carrion Comfort is one of the best novels I've ever read. It's about vampires of a different kind. Awesome, awesome book! Stephen King called Summer of Night ...one of those rare must-read books, easily surpassing Clive Barker's Books of Blood. The Hyperion novels contain some of the best fantasy/sf prose ever written (imo.. ), and The Terror is one of my favorite novels of the past ten years.
Enough said. Now read Simmons!

I think I have a couple paperback copies of Summer of Night sitting here. I might have to read that then.
