Found this on eBay, by a seller who sold it for $430 (crazy!!!): "Fans were waiting anxiously at the booth assuming it may be Stephen King but a lady came and sat down and proceeded to sign copies of Charlie the Choo Choo as Beryl Evans.
This was a promotional signing that took place at the Simon and Schuster booth at the San Diego Comic Con."
For your attention.
I see The Overlook Connection is trying to sell Choo Choo books that are a misprint? Is this bullshit? I also see he has Glenn Remarqing them.. why I have no idea...
Another question for this UK edition - is the BOOK limited to 1000 copies or is the numbered PRINT limited to 1000 copies? The picture says INCLUDES LIMITED EDITION PRINT, so I am thinking it is a regular trade edition with a print signed and numbered to 1000. Unless I am reading it wrong.
I had pre-ordered the "standard" UK first edition of Charlie from the Book Depository around a month ago. I got a notification today that they are "unable to fulfil" tis order and a refund was issued. I wonder whether it has anything to do with a dramatic change of publication date, perhaps due to the UK Limited coming out? No idea.

Spoiler: 12-07-2016 02:53 PMshaq 12-08-2016 12:29 AMMr. Rabbit TrickNobody has answered this, so here is what Dave Hinchberger claims:
"We have discovered that the very “first” printing of Charlie the Choo-Choo by Stephen King, under his pseudonym Beryl Evans, was inadvertently printed without the Simon & Schuster information on the back, and without a UPC for a short print run. A UPC sticker was applied to correct this, but the Simon & Schuster information was left off. We also discovered that the printing of the interior also has a different printing numbered line. The printing numbers shows as thus: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The copyright page features ISBN 9781471163777 - this does not correspond to the US or UK edition. Both feature different ISBNs. Looking this ISBN up the master list has no information applied to it. The copyright page in this edition is slightly shorter, and very different than the regular first edition. It begins that it was printed for Great Britain in 2016, and then states it was printed for the US in 2016, again, different than the regular first printing."
"This anomaly edition was obviously a mistake, and they stopped the presses to correct this error. After correcting this mistake, the publisher continued the printing of the first print run. This updated first printing still show a first, but the line now reads: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, which is the back and forth numbered line version. The UPC and Simon & Schuster publisher information placed in the bottom right and left corners on the back as it was supposed to appear."
"With this information we’ve only discovered there are a handful of these but we’ll probably never know the exact quantity. This means both the interior and the cover were printed independently of other editions with these anomalies, making this the true first printing. The first printing of this book is just over 30,000 copies (this would include the Anomaly printing), according to my publisher source direct from Simon and Schuster. Again, no information of how many Anomaly copies were printed before they caught the mistake, but it couldn't have been many. As I publish this in early December the publisher informed us that Charlie the Choo-Choo has just gone into a third printing.! 12-08-2016 03:03 AMherbertwestWell, technically, the first print was the copies given away during the SDCC.
This would be the first print of the second edition, no? 12-08-2016 03:19 AMELazanskyThis describes the copy I have. The sticker on the back says ISBN 9781534401235, but the copyright page says 9781471163777, and the number line runs 10 to 1. If this is so rare, maybe I should go to Barnes and Noble and see if I could get the other 5-6 copies that they had.
