Under the Dome Collector's Edition

[Moderator]

Wonder if this collector's edition should be submitted for Pulitzer?

The text of the novel won't be different from the mass market edition, so that should not have any bearing on a submission for a Pulitzer.

MS MOD: I found a website (can't remember the name of it, it comes up in a GOOGLE picture search), which had a cover design for the novel posted. The picture was sort of multi-colored and had two onion-dome looking structures (each pointing in opposite directions) in the middle. It looked kind of neat, actually. Does this sound like one of the suggested cover designs?

I haven't seen the UK cover art yet, but it's not anything like what I've seen for the US cover.

When most Collector Editions come out are they typically signed?

I have normally just cared about the story and not so much the actual physical book.

It would be kind of cool to get an autographed book though.

Steve doesn't sign all of the collector's/limited editions so it's not a guarantee that this one will be.

OOOOO. I didn't hear about a Collector's Edition! Very exciting.

Any more news on this? Some illustrations wouldn't really do it for me (depends on the artist, really) but an autograph of Sai King would make it a guaranteed buy for me.

I haven't had any recent updates from Scribner on this.

Hi, just wondering if this will be made available in Britain? I had a lot of trouble tracking down Just after Sunset Collectors over here.

Simon & Schuster says the cost of the "Collector's Set" will be $70. It also has different ISBN numbers than the trade edition. For the extra $35, I seriously doubt it will have King's signature.

I know the answer to that but don't think it's something I can discuss yet.
