I had looked it up on Amazon US this afternoon and that is where I found the lowest price being $84.00 and it went up from there, I think the next step up was $144.. A few days ago, there were none on the site. Is it possible they show a different set of numbers to other than U.S.? Didn't know about U of M. I keep forgetting to ask the experts on this MB, I don't think there is a question they cannot answer.

There's a story here:
They have turned the public works building into an assisted living home. We descended on them Sunday afternoon like paparazzi-locusts, and one of the more drunken residents told us that WE were on PRIVATE PROPERTY, and we should GET THE BLEEP OUT NOW IF WE KNOW WHAT"S BLEEPING GOOD FOR US! It was upsetting, and a staff member calmed him down. At this point, several of our party decided to leave. Neesy, on the other hand, walked up to the gentleman and struck up a dialogue. After a few minutes, we watched agape as she and the man disappeared into the ancient building. I followed, and he led us up through the building's elevator to see the interior water wheel!!! He was very apologetic and sweet. Neesy got a pic with us and the gentleman, so we need to see it.

Here he is with Nomik and Neesy (moi as Miss Piggy says) - he wasn't such a bad old dude but he did have a slightly boozy smell to him :very_drunk:

Hmmm - Seattle is supposed to be nice! I would love to see the West Coast :love:



Was thinking of you while we were there - misery chastain or perhaps Stacey270 (one of them) got your gift basket - they let me have the Elvis emery board as I had been wanting to file my nails for two days straight!




Thanks Dan;

Hmm - am I really that weird? :hmm:Hopefully it's a nice kind of weird. Incidentally when I was an assistant leader with the Cub Scouts when Josh was just a young boy, our theme was the Jungle Book. They gave me the name of Kaa (the snake) - true story!

Lori’s name got pulled for hollygolightlys bag(I didnt pull the names so I swear it wasnt fixed!lol)

I am having no luck posting my pics on here.I have tried sending them to myself so they compress first like I had to do on the old board but no dice.Hopefully they will make it here eventually from anyone I connected with on Facebook.
We had a really good time and came away feeling like we made some real life friends:) Thank you to everybody who sent gifts,help set things up and also for traveling to the Kon as travel is not cheap!

I just looked on amazon UK and this appears to be the Slipcased edition first printing.
Slipcased Set of Hearts in Suspension. Only a limited supply of the slipcased set are available. Featuring original foil stamped artwork of Stephen King from the late 1960's, artwork created by Glenn Chadbourne.

The U of M press printing is available for $30.

Are you after the slipcased edition , or just the regular one?

still seeing it at $30 on US and UK
WOW-- just ck'd amazon Canada CDN $80.44 OUCH, So Canada Amazon is way diff than US and UK!

Try to get someone in US to order it and then mail to you. That would be the $24.95 postage to you in Canada.
