Awesome interview. I love what he has to say about Limited Editions:
Lilja: Speaking of publishing, it seems less and less of your books have
been released in limited editions now. Is that something you have done
deliberately?
Stephen King: They are releasing Secretary of Dreams now and Frank
Darabont is really high on the idea of doing a limited edition of The

And also because there are people like me who couldn't care less how
many people have it but just like having a much nicer version of the
books they really love and want to keep for years than can be bought at
one's local Barnes & Noble.

I follow you, and agree with you. Because of arthritis in my hands,
reading any weighty book has become a painful experience, so I now read
mostly on my PDA. I find that, if the writing is good, I can still lose
myself completely in the story. Also, the PDA lives in my pocket, so
anywhere, anytime, I have at least 100 books available to me - great
for someone who travels by bus a lot! And it has a built in light, so
reading in bed on winter nights is a lot cosier - just pull the
blankets right over my head!
Love modern technology!
