And finally a very pleasant surprise. I actually considered ordering this one when it came out but decided against because my prior purchases from the publisher were not up to the quality I expected for the price I paid. If this book is any indication they have greatly improved there quality and I will be more willing to give them another try in the future.

The book is the limited edition od Stephen King Is Richard Bachman by Michael Collings and was published by Overlook Connection Press:

Awesome items, Martin! The chapbook from SGP was pretty good (the stories were interesting, though the they all had their glaring flaws that kept me from completely enjoying them). Great OLC book (I thought of ordering it too).

I got a Chapters gift card from My Secret Santa on the weekend so If they still have any first prints I may grab it. Theres no NEW books I want. I suggested a CD gift card to whoever my santa may be but they didn't take the bait. Chapters is good enough, I can always wait for Doctor Sleep

Congrats on the gift card!
