Dave has been around forever and has always done right by me. Way back, a million years ago, he used to mail out a printed catalog that was part of my initiation into the world of King collecting. I would spend hours and hours with them dreaming about all the things I couldn't afford. Fun fact: the very first external email I ever sent was to Dave to inquire about the INSOMNIA portfolio - he didn't have one.

I've bought a couple of things from Dave over time, mostly lower end items as his prices are generally WAY too high.
I now see that the "anomaly" version of Charlie is $150. No thanks.
That redacted statement though... that is what really gets me.... hmmmmmm.......

If it's true, that's pretty cool.Originally Posted by webstar1000
Left Barnes and noble. 6 copies all with no sticker. Get home and checked the books I had
I bought two copies of ctcc for Xmas presents from Amazon. Just looked at them and both had the upc code sticker! I guess I am keeping them if David's statement is true
I just received the shipping notice for the Waterstone's limited edition.

Just got mine too.
And mine three.

Same here!
anybody take pity on a stupid bookstore owner who forgot to order a UK Choo Choo? Any extra copies? I'll pay you a bit extra for your troubles.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Got my notice as well. This will be my only Choo Choo variant. I'm fine with that.
Well I just ordered from Waterstones...apparently still available so I'm good now.

Good on you David!
Oh b*gger, I missed it!
Me too. Is this information something that will become clear once we receive the books?Oh b*gger, I missed it!

I was wondering the same thing. I wish I had seen the redacted statement, and I almost canceled once we knew for certain it wasn't King, but then I saw Kris's musing... Hell, I guess it's worth $40 to me to have. I never bothered to order a US one anyway. Can't wait to figure out this mystery...Me too.

Oh I never seen the statement... i am wondering what it could be... no way King signs this though.I was wondering the same thing.

I didn't see the statement either... guess I'll just have to wait and see. The package is on the way already anyway!
Books have been shipped! Redacted statement can be posted again. Or just PM me. Never good with secrets!
I would call it the first state of the first printing of the first trade edition.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Why is this book being sent with tracking? I can't remember any other book from them tracked before...
As long as it doesn't delay the process, what does it matter?
Went out to see if the alternate 1st print was available at my book store, no such luck. Grabbed a regular one anyway though.
Because it costs about twice as much and will Royal Mail really track it in the US?As long as it doesn't delay the process, what does it matter?
