I think he said in the email he didn't want people sharing this link yet...

Thanks for the heads up.
Moderator please delete this thread. I wasn't able to.
Jared has OK’d the link now so feel free to repost or update
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Yep, he shared me the infos just now, so here it is :

Glad to see that Jerad was given another opportunity by SK.
It's been a while coming -- I turned in the introduction in April 2019 and signed the limitation pages in October of the same year.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
Sometimes I'm just lucky. I happened to be checking email when Jerad's message dropped yesterday and jumped right on the site to order. Wasn't even tracking this one, I'm super happy to snag a signed/slipcased copy!
Alright, we'll call it a draw.
I wonder if King will sign as a surprise?

I wonder how many folks buy the book under the false impression King is signing it. The first impression of a book advertised as "signed" is that it is signed by the author. Never liked that characterization when someone else is signing it. Anyone can theoretically sign a book but that doesn't make it a signed book. Having to read the fine print to figure this out only makes it slightly better.
"Artists signed slipcased edition. $260." is above the order button.

The newsletter very clearly stated that the book isn't signed by King. It's the only sentence in bold. The order page states it's not signed by King three times.
I'm sure the dummy who bought a $280 book without reading what they're buying will feel right as rain after selling it for 3x the cost.
But I thought Bachman died from pseudonym cancer in 1985.
Maybe Jerod has some old tip-sheets he signed.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but wouldn't a SK signed limited be priced higher than $260? If so, why should Jared forgo the additional revenue the signature would generate to the flippers? As for the Full Throttle comparison, wasn't that for the lettered edition? I'm not aware of a lettered Long Walk so unless Jerad has something up his sleeve ...
Regarding Throttle, it was indeed for the lettered.
The price was high (but not crazy high at 1.5k) which was the reason why the book was strugging to sell and it took awhile to do so.
If a King signature would have been known, it would have sold out right away.
On the secondary market, the book was quickly selling at 3x the original price
So yes, a Bachman signature would seem very unlikely given the price... but who knows?
