It's from Very Fine Books. I received an email in regards to it before it was released and preordered it. I believe the retail was $125 so you got a bit of a deal. There is nothing special about the edition outside of the slipcase.

It's just lazy IMO, Martin regarding the sig. Mine sucks as well but a really nice sig enhances the experience for me personally. Like Harris for instance. The man's is beautiful.

Very Fine Books is someplace I would never have looked for that. It is done well enough that I thought is was produced by DC. Thanks for the info, sounds like I got it below what VFB sold them for so that is nice.

The day I learned you were allowed to print on checks was the day I forgot how to write in cursive.
My grandmother used to give me all sorts of grief about my messing handwriting, whereas as hers (and my step-dad's) looked like some sort of script font - it was so perfect.
My signature used to look kind of like my name, but once I got into the banking world, and all of the thins I had to sign all day every day, it turned into a scribble. Still makes me laugh at legal documents where I'm told to sign with my whole name. It never fails that someone always tells me "make sure to include your middle name" - you can't even make out the "a" in Jason, so stop about the middle name. It's there. My legal signature is my legal signature.

I learned cursive, but it is bad. I haven't written any since 7th grade when a teacher was complete garbage to me about it. I don't remember how anymore. It's pointless. I can read it fine. My printing isn't great. Oddly it was better the smaller I wrote, that drove my older German professor crazy. Looking at all the notes across my desk I'm actually surprised I can read most of them. My signature is naturally one people have complained about for not being my whole name.

Regarding the O. King book: does the author also write the number - 272 in this case - or is that written by someone else? My instinct tells me it is written by someone else.
As I was writing this out, a random thought popped into my mind: for Stephen King, are there any desired numbers by collectors, and would the numbers enhance the value? I'm thinking stuff like 19 and 217, especially if they are attached to limited copies of their respective books. (Having #217/237of a Shining limited-run must be something else.)
