Okay, I don't know the full story behind this as after much research I can't find much info. What I have dug up is that it was released exclusively at a store called Box Lunch in California. No idea how many or if there will be a wider release closer to the movie premiere. Several have popped up on eBay. Hoping to grab one of them but more information on a possible wide release would be nice!

Last but not least, there's been some promo items for Mr. Mercedes popping up on eBay from SDCC.
Grabbed a t-shirt and pins myself.
I'm on my phone and too many links to share but if anyone is interested type in SDCC exclusives Mr Mercedes.

I just checked the cast/production list on IMDB and there's none of these names listed so maybe they're just previous owners on the disc?

Thanks I will have to do some searching. Thanks again

 

[king family fan]

Hmmmmm....none of these look like any of the main players signatures. Could be extras or something? Or kids screwing around! Either way, interesting pick up!

Thanks interesting thought.

 

[kingricefan]

Thanks interesting thought.

It's none of the extra cast members, Linda.

i would like to get one as well.

 

[doowopgirl]

I just keep buying the UK versions as I see them. Really hoping to get It and green Mile as those are two of my favorite books. What are your favorites?

I'll have to think about that and get back to you.

Good for you Scott! Congratulations and it's beautiful. Well worth it.
I like to live by the motto that we don't just work to pay bills. You have to treat yourself while you're alive to enjoy it because you sure can't take it with you when you go!
I also look at it as an investment. While I have no plans to sell my collection in the near future nor for a long while after that someday I will because I have no one to leave it to and it will be a part of my retirement plan (god willing I live that long!) The book market is always changing but one thing that stays true is King books are always appreciating and almost never depreciating. I don't collect for this reason, I collect because I love the stories, King, and the beautiful editions that are lovingly crafted, but can't help to consider it.
For you it's something to leave for your kids to treasure.

...well said, and it's the truth....they'll go to my oldest son...he'll understand the value but won't immediately turn it for a quick buck like the youngest might.....

Mailman delivered these today:

The 'Writer's Voices' book has a selection from Carrie inside, along with a map of the town (!), a cast of characters, questions for the reader, about Stephen King, about the movie Carrie, about horror books, a list of King's books and a list of movies based on King's works. One thing I noticed is in the back there is a short list of the Richard Bachman books and they included Needful Things in that list! The other two books are hardback ex-library editions that I didn't have in my collection.

I had never heard of these titles before.

 

[kingricefan]

I had never heard of these titles before.

Those hardback ones are from the Starmont publication series. They did about ten titles about King. The were based out of Mercer Island, Washington. One of the titles was by Douglas Winter that he later expanded into Stephen King: The Art Of Darkness.
