Once that happened, I stated I never wanted to see Grant do a King Limited again, and I still stand by that. If you want to match numbers great everyones does that, but if you want to match numbers to a system that has gone back 20 years then you got a problem. Only the older fans and booksellers have those numbers, and new fans have no chance. The Sub Press edition of The Shinning gives everyone a fair chance of procuring the book, the way Grant does it it does not give fans a fair chance. Yes people will get shut out both ways, but one way everyone has a chance.
Now I will agree that if any new Dark Tower books come out Grant should still use the system as they can't break it now, but if they did Dr. Sleep a story unrelated to the Dark Tower it would be ridiculous to match numbers. I would vehemently appose this.
