Doctor Sleep limited?

[d2ward]

Not trying to cause a false alarm (or any alarm, for that matter) with the title of the thread here. Rather, I'm just wondering if there has been any discussion of a limited (signed?) release of the upcoming Doctor Sleep?

I recall the complete FUBAR fire drill that Scibner caused with their dreadful attempt at selling a few hundred signed copies of 11/22/63 (dreadful, of course, because I wasn't able to score a copy <grin>) and hope that, if something is in the works, it may work more to the advantage of the long-time faithful and Constant Reader, rather than vultures just looking to make a buck on eBay.

Ms. Mod please send me the announcement first. It seems that sometimes other sites are spilling the beans before you get a chance. How do they get secret information and we can't :unclesam: But i do come here to make it official!!!!!!

They report rumors. We report it when it's a fact.

I wish that meanwhile someone (Cemetery Dance?) will release a special illustrated signed edition of The Shining...

In my opinion, the lottery was the worst of a lot of bad ideas. Particularly after a lot of people wasted hours trying to buy the signed edition when S&S had technical issues. It simply allowed some to game the system (one guy on another forum said he won six times!). There is no perfect way to do this. Some people are not going to get one. But I would go with a first-come-first serve method. There has to be a fair and technically sound way to do that without crashing the system. At the very least, the most dedicated fans will have a better chance in that process instead of opening this up to the entire world for weeks and leaving it to chance.

Regarding book signings, I really liked the way it worked in Savannah. Buy the new book, get a number, leave, come back and get either the new book signed or an older book when the event starts. That's win-win for everyone. SK sells a copy of his new book and the reader gets a choice as to which book to get signed. It's all orderly according to your number and you don't have to stand in line all day.
