Looks like the book is a first edition and the cover is from a book club edition. Not bad, I guess, and still better than the copy I have now

Great find!!! Now all you need to do is find a later printing copy on ebay that has the correct price ($5.95) on the inside front flap. Keep your eye out!!!Looks like the book is a first edition and the cover is from a book club edition. Not bad, I guess, and still better than the copy I have now
I agree!Stephen King is only to be read the old fashioned way
I agree!
Just something about it. I think it's largely due to the fact that I'm blessed enough to have been born just in time to where I grew up without e-readers. I can vividly remember my mom's fevered excitement when we'd walk into CVS (called Brooks then) and she'd treat herself to a new paperback. That meant I'd be getting a new book when she was done. I could curl up and escape from all the torment and madness. No getting up to charge or plug anything; if we had to get dragged out anywhere, well, a book is as portable a toy as anything. Sigh.
Cemetary Dance is currently running a 50% off promo (snow50thanks) if anyone has been thinking about a purchase from them. The code last through Friday and the special edition Carrie is included in the offer.
I really couldn't afford this, even at half price, but I ordered the Carrie special edition. I'm in the middle of selling almost everything I own on ebay (except my SK books) so I can move. That's my justification! This is the most money I've ever spent on a book. I'm still saving up to buy a signed one!Brian James Freeman (from CD) posted on TDT.org that Mr. Mercedes, Revival, and Carrie were supposed to be excluded, but he goofed. He will honor those sales.

You won't regret it, CD creates beautiful books.I really couldn't afford this, even at half price, but I ordered the Carrie special edition.

I think someone mentioned that it takes a very long time to receive your purchase. (??)You won't regret it, CD creates beautiful books.
Carrie is on track to make it to your house by Christmas, barring any unforeseen events. Cemetary Dance is a small press and doesn't have alot of employees, so things run slower than if it were a big publisher. They do produce some outstanding editions and not just King books either. They have alot of different authors that they publish. There was one edition (Legacies) that took almost 17 years to be produced, but that was the exception (and I still am dying to know the tale behind that one!). They usually announce a new book months in advance, so you have to have some patience after you order from them. They do keep you updated. When you receive your copy of Carrie, you will be thrilled and then you will want to get any King limiteds from them that you can afford. Trust me!I think someone mentioned that it takes a very long time to receive your purchase. (??)
I ordered Carrie a long, long time ago and still have not received my copy from Cemetery Dance! I used my credit card of course so I hope that one day it will arrive in my mail. It had to have been at least 9 months ago that I first requested it.I think someone mentioned that it takes a very long time to receive your purchase. (??)
I think we hit "post reply" at the exact same time KRR - thanks for the info!Carrie is on track to make it to your house by Christmas, barring any unforeseen events.

So, I made a good choice? (Especially since it was half price and wasn't supposed to be.)Carrie is on track to make it to your house by Christmas, barring any unforeseen events.
