I really can't imagine buying the special one for $100 dollars. Especially since it's 128pgs long. It does look very nice, though, and I like that it's a book with a big book case, haha.
I'm glad that it's being released. I was a little sad that I wouldn't know what the stories were about because only 7 people would get them.

I'm very glad to know that it's being released, and i'll be sure to pre-order a copy, but not the special edition, gorgeous though it undoubtedly is.

I really want to get it! I am proberly going to get the standard edition because i cant afford to spend that much on a book I agree. The collector's edition is lovely, but I can't spend that much on a book--unless it's a school textbook of course! The most expensive book I bought was $50 and it was an Audrey Hepburn biography with a bunch of stuff to take out and look at.

I'll pre-order a standard edition also; either by Amazon or i'll have to see what the go with local bookstores will be. Oddly enough, it's often better value for me to get it from Amazon, which is random considering the international shipping etc

It's out tomorrow! In less than 10 hours I'm excited, but I think I'll finish Marley & Me before reading it.

I'm so excited! I don't have time to read it now, since finals are coming up, but my best friend and I are giving it to each other for Christmas.

Agh! I went to my bookshop to pick it up at 9am but it hadn't arrived yet and said it would come in the next week. Then when I got home, a few hours later I got a call saying it arrived!
