Tell me about it - I use the pseudonym "Grant Wootton" cos using my real name "Bill Duhbetturmowwstrapp" would be just plain silly

Now, are you being serious? That's your real last name? Like you or some other guy on this forum said, it'd be kind of strange for a mother to name her kid "Theenormityofitall". Maybe even more silly to name him "gagagoo" which is another name I use sometimes

Possibly, the essential difference I think is the artist editions weren't signed by King.

Yeah, but if I had questioned PS Publishing about it, I would of received the proper edition. But that would have been a big hassle having to send it all the way back to England...still, I think I would have preferred the artist editions over the limited. They look pretty nice to me.

Ah, I see, before she was your sister she was my pre-op brother - things got complicated, he became she, vanished into the sunset - until now. It soothes my soul that he/she has found a good home with you, but see if you can do something about having her change her name - Zac just doesn't cut it as a chicks name

Brother?????? I was talking about my sister!!! This is too weird...

Man, and I thought "Zachariah Bumwhacker" was needing of a psuedonym!!!

You know my brother ??? - Jeez Louise, it's a damn small world

Well, it still seems like I got screwed. I couldn't believe it when the book arrived, that it was a "limited edition". Like I've said, it looked like a trade paperback in a slipcase. But I guess it wasn't that bad afterall...I think I paid $250 and sold it for $200.
Still, from your post, it sounds like I should of ordered the artist editions.

PS sold a couple different versions. Artist edition (with all 3), A S / L Slipcased Edition, A S / L Traycased Edition, and the Trade Hardcover editions. Within that there where the different editions for the 3 different artists. However I think if you bout the Artist edition, you received all 3 editions in a slipcase, all signed by the artists and numbered.

just have a look at some forum names here...

LOL yeah like mine.

I wasn't trying to be funny, really (I don't think I've even got much of a sense of humor...); just have a look at some forum names here...

To love horror fiction you have to have a sense of humour - ergo, you do

I'm missing something Frick? Everyone else go the joke but not me. But that's not unsusal at all, often times things sail right over my lil head.

But "Grant Wootton" reminds me of the great MMA fighter from Holland...Bos Rutten, lol the perfect name for a MMA guy. Do you know him by any chance??

I forgot to look at the link you provided. That's it!! http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...e+-+S+L+Miller
But it says signed and numbered limited? I thought these were the trade versions like the photos on this page? I still don't know what the other are with the red traycases.

Well, I guess price is all relative, I've got a couple on order with CD (lettered SoD V 2, FDNS and IT) that cost a little more than I thought I'd ever pay for a "book". Then again, as I've discovered (to my delight) some books are not "just books" As regards a suggestion of what to sell off to assist in getting your annuity, you're asking the wrong bloke - I'm 50 next year and, at this point in time, I'd sooner part with an internal organ than just one of my treasures. Maybe that'll change in the future, but for now, to paraphrase your NRA "you'll pry my books from my cold, dead fingers ). Man, it sounds like you have in your possession possibly more books than I've seen in my life, never mind what I actually own myself - although it sounds like you consider this to be a curse rather than a blessing? If this is true, curse me six ways to Sunday and Ill be a happy man

LOL 50? That's nothing. 70? Yeah, that'd probably be a lil late to invest in an annuity. " "you'll pry my books from my cold, dead fingers " LMAO. That's exactly how I feel, it's just I don't have a choice if I want that annuity. I really don't need it considering how big my pension will be (I'm not bragging btw, it's just a fact), but I also know I almost certainly won't see any social security money since this country is already all but bankrupt, and that's the main reason I want an annuity.
LOL no curse, I just worry about them and where to keep them. I love the damn things. Actually, I still have no clue what to do with them at this point, I just know I have to sell some somehow and not have to go on Prozac afterwards for getting rid of them.
