Hello.
I have been collecting the new Mass Market releases of Stephen's novels/collections being slowly doled out by Simon & Schuster Pocket Books.
I love the new covers and fonts and it is nice to finally have a cohesive look to my King collection. However, after June's release of The Green Mile, the monthly release of these editions that has been in place for two years has suddenly stopped.
See this amazon page for example: Amazon.com: stephen king mass market pocket books: Books
It seems the movie tie in versions of IT, The Dark Tower, and the Bill Hodges Trilogy have derailed the release of the new Mass Market reprints, and several books that were on the upcoming release list have vanished from Simon & Schuster's webpage. Now, the larger Trade Paperback versions from Gallery Books are on the schedule, which I am not interested in collecting.
These are the Pocket Books covers that were advertised in advance and on the list to come out in Mass Market format at the end of every month from July this year and into next year, but are now no longer scheduled or advertised on the Simon and Schuster website as existing at all.
Does anyone have any information on these releases? If they have been cancelled? Or are they just delayed and resuming release in the future?
Thank you for any info,
Shimonhead
