Ahhh...good to know. I'll probable still get to it at some point, as that and Faithful are the only two SK books I haven't read. I have a copy of TCK, but it is my one and only S/L book. So, I will wait for a reader copy.

I agree with Jean, you can't even compare the two. I wasn't a huge fan of The Colorado Kid, but I loved Joyland. Might be one of my favorites. Reminded me of his older writings, plus I just loved the setting.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Although Joyland wasn't really a typical King horror/thriller I loved it and I to would say it's probably one of my favorites!
I felt the story took a while to get going but the second half was superb. King's really been in a roll lately with new classics like Duma Key, Full Dark, No Stars, 11/22/63, and Joyland.

I stumbled on this by accident on Amazon. Did we know about this edition? Maybe I missed a discussion on it but it's the first I've heard of it: Joyland Illustrated Edition.
Founder and publisher of Lividian Publications. My other website is BrianJamesFreeman.com. Please always feel free to email me or send me a PM if you have any questions about either!
Description on Amazon.ca says it's the second edition so maybe it's just a reprint by Hardcase?
Yeah, it's interesting... and I saw that Sep release date. I might be a reprint like you say, bu I'm not sure because why would it be called the "Illustrated" edition...I've pre-ordered one anyway... I'm sure some information will trickle in at some point...
The original was also 'illustrated'
"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
The UK hardcover edition had black and white illustrations. I thought they were pretty nice.
Ah ok. Do we have pictures of them here on the site? I'd like to see them.
Me too. I checked the catalog and it isn't there.
There were three editions: trade, S/L (identical to trade + signature page), lettered.
Oh okay, that one. I forgot it was a UK edition.

So there was an unsigned one? It isn't shown as unsigned on that page from the catalog.
