So im in this unique bookstore and i come across a Special Edition of "Dead Zone"....

[Dallas Riley]

At the Chamblin Bookmine in Jacksonville, Fl. They have over a million books, etc, etc. Anyhow, I just bought the Dead Zone first edition last week from there, and I stop in this time before dinner to kill some time. I see this SE and took a few pics with my cell phone. I've never come across a SE edition of a book that i know of, let alone a SK one and it was an interesting sight to see. They want $60 for it, think it's worth it? The regular Dead Zone I bought last week FE was $10 from there.

Sorry, but the links aren't working for me so can't comment on the one you're referring to but there are many special edition books. You can see most of them here (http://www.stephenking.com/library/limited_edition/), although I notice we need to add Just After Sunset's collector's edition. I hadn't thought of it as technically being a limited edition but it did only have one print run so would qualify.

The UK Just After Sunset's collector's edition was limited to 500.

It might work now

That's the Easton Press edition, with illustrations by Jill Baumann. It's a nice collectable but not overly valuable; however, $60 doesn't seem out of line compared to some of the asking prices I see online. You should check this page (http://www.stephenkingcollector.com/limited/deadzone1vs2.html) to see if its a first printing or a later one, though

Oh sweet... I like the background of those pix too!

It appears to be a new edition due to the boxes on the spine.

I would pay that, i haven't had the good grace to see any nice books like that where i live.

[Anton177]

... Wow! Holy crap! Not only does that look great but you can see the rest of the books in the corner... I would kill for a shop like that! The only place I can get a moderately wanted version is through Amazon... where are these shops?!

Looks like a beauty regardless of present value.

[Q'smum]

Does the bookstore have an internet link? Mailing address? Phone number? That SK collection they have for sale in the background looks in awesome shape!

We have a copy of this edition for the giveaway. Jill has agreed to sign it and put a sketch in there as well. :love:

Just general FYI for folks reading the thread.

[Ubasti]

That store is in Jacksonville, huh? I might be taking a road trip. :biggrin2:

Lol, where do you live. The have a signed copy of the signing, first edition. They want 2,500 for it :glare: So in contrast, 60 dollars for the dead zone doesnt sound too bad

[Dallas Riley]

Well i went by today after school and it was gone. I should've hidden that puppy somewhere. Oh well. Live and Learn, but it was hard to justify spending 60 dollars for a book i already have in first edition hardcover.

[JayneH]

I would have grabbed that baby in a heartbeat... we NEVER see books like that here :sad:

[JRM]

...Is there one of these stores in Portland, OR., you think? :wow: I would love to walk into one of those.

oh, just a suggestion

a lot of libraries around here have book sales that include collections that have been willed to them, and they sell for cheap because they don't really look up every single book (and around here, they sell the older ones because they don't hold up for circulation and they don't get income from ppl viewing them like a museum)

just a thought for some of us that don't have a book store like that, and it's always free to look :wink2:
