The Long Walk: An Introduction in Three Parts

BevVincent

I am delighted to announce that I wrote the introduction for the just-announced, profusely illustrated limited edition of The Long Walk from Centipede Press.

Why in three parts? Because that's how the novel is structured.

• New introduction by Bev Vincent.
• Dustjacket, frontispiece, interior, and chapter head illustrations by Jim and Ruth Keegan.
• Photographs by Patrick Loehr.
• Ribbon marker, head and tail bands, bound in gray cloth.
• Stamped spine and boards.
• Double-sided dustjacket.
• Smyth-sewn binding.
• Book size 5¼ × 8¾ inches.
• Number of pages: 336.
• To be published January 2023.
• Price $95

He apparently did not read your tweet on how to open a new, hardbound book.

I couldn't see myself doing that, especially not to a collectable.

Oh nice scott. Treat that baby well. I love the look of it and i love the story. Sigh. I miss buying beautiful, special books, but I have entered the phase— what happens to them when I die? The thought of them being re-homed to some ungrateful bastard lights a fire in muh belly. 

I look at the ones I own now and apologize to them.

Centipede Press has some extra leatherbound, traycased copies of The Long Walk by Stephen King. They are signed by Bev Vincent, who wrote the introduction, as well as the artists, Jim & Ruth Keegan and Patrick Loehr. They are at the bindery but should be here by the end of the week. Then we inspect copies. There are only about 40 of them. However, they are not signed by Stephen King. If you are interested in one of them (they are not cheap, at $895), give me a shout and I will put you on the waitlist for these and email you when they are available. Thank you.
