Upcoming Dutch limited (unsigned) edition - The Shining

I just saw on the Dutch SK forum that a new edition of The Shining is in the works: it will be released to celebrate Mr. King's 70th birthday in September.

Even though I'm Dutch I don't collect Dutch King books, but this looks like a really nice book! It will be limited to 750 copies, probably numbered, but not signed by King of course. It will also include Before the Play.

I figured I'd post it here as well because I know there are members who collect foreign King.

I like the mountain in the background. Has pricing been released yet?

Not as far as I know. The Dutch publisher has been releasing limited hardcover editions for most of King's recent books (paperback editions are the norm here), without slipcase, and I think those sold for around €50. But Roog or Niels will correct me if I'm wrong :smile:

Looks like ol' Jack N. on the cover.

I'd like a better look at that art, but it does look like Jack N. Also looks like the hotel from the Kubrick film. Kinda cool though.

Nice cover!
It didn't occcur to me that Steve will be 70 in september

I don't collect foreign editions but I wouldn't mind one of these. Anyone know if they would take requests for a number?

I'm almost certain you can't request a number... this isn't a small press/specialty publisher but one of the main publishers of translated fiction in our country.

Can you post the website? I'd like to see their other offerings.

The other numbered, hardcover, editions sold for between €30 to €40. This edition is going to be sold for €75.
I don't think there's a Dutch market for such kind of edition in that price range.

I'm not really into foreign editions as well but like Dez, I think it's pretty cool looking as well. Michaël, would you be willing to be the middle man if one decided to purchase this :)

P.S. If the art is modeled after the film; at least Jack isn't holding an axe.

Can't wait!

Is there a website we can go to look? Thanks.

Go to the Facebookpage Stephen King Fanclub Nederland, but you will see the same Michaël told us.

Looks nice in theory but not a fan of having the Kubrick film be the source point for the cover.
