 Hello everybody, you here welcome back to another video um today is not a pleasant video Because I feel like I got ripped off um a Few months back probably closer to the beginning of the year somebody messaged me and told me that there was going to be a Let's see. I think it's 10th. No, it was released in 99 So we're looking at 20th anniversary of Bag of Bones. I think that's correct anyways um That there was going to be a special Scribner's classics edition and I was expecting something I Don't know fancy. I was expecting something Limited edition something a little better than what I received so this is kind of a warning to people who are planning on getting the book because in my opinion I Paid $30 for a five-page interview. That's the biggest difference between the two books I'm going to go through and show you exactly one of the other now my version of Bag of Bones the original first edition is pretty beat up It's a I bought it brand new when it first came well, I didn't my mother did and We got lovely burnt Orange Very autumn color. We got a nice spine here Trying to get the glare down, but we got the white spines the Scribner logo We have somebody's Somebody's name in here, which is odd. I don't know if my mother planned to give this as a gift I didn't give it to her or what but there's a Joan Hughes in here Authors note and anyway, I've gone through all this and there's absolutely nothing different with the inside except for The five-page interview at the end now if you'll notice this is something you can't see Through the video, but there if you have a copy of the first edition hardcover the letters are raised They're stamped so you can feel the letters on the cover, right? Okay now Now we go to the Scribner Classics edition for some odd reason. There's this green border around it I don't know if all the Scribner classic editions are like this. I have no idea The letters aren't raised and this is some of the cheapest Paper I have ever come across as for a dust jacket Um, but if you take the dust jacket off I'm actually worried about taking the dust jacket off because it's so flimsy and Thin and this feels like it's gonna rip. You're gonna see a very boring white book. Okay in fact the The spine isn't even stylized It's just plain white. That's it. Um the inside That's again. It's the same same stuff Yeah, author's note. It's all the same except for way back here in the back I'm going to go through and count the actual pages. I'm pretty sure it was only five, but we're gonna count them We have a Stephen King on bag of bones 1998. We got one two three four oh Five six seven the seven page interview, so I only paid $30 for a seven page interview There were no there's no illustrations. Of course. I didn't say it was an illustrated edition, but I was expecting something Now I couldn't I didn't even get a nicer version see the dents and everything I didn't even get a nicer version of the book for my shelf because first off that green on the cover I think is just ugly. They should have done the burnt orange like they did with the first edition But anyways This I don't think the green fits at all the The spines are just awful. It is just awful compared to the original You have the nice artwork and then over here in this one You just have the Scrivener logo and I suppose it might be because the Scrivener classics edition is like a set and This fits into the set with the green and whatnot. It's just it's an ugly book and If you notice, I don't know if you guys will be able to see it, but first It was $28 This version of it now, of course you have to go for inflation, but this one is $30 I Don't know if you guys see it. Sorry Um Anyways, so I'm not happy. I am not the type of completionist collector that has to have Every single copy of every single book that the author ever published. I'm not that way I was hoping for something different maybe a longer interview But seven pages man. I just I feel cheated. There's no other way to put it and I Just gonna say shame on you Scrivener because this is obviously a cash grab Stephen King had a resurgence in popularity Has having one right now as we speak the last two years has been great for Stephen King fans And it just seems like this was something to cash in on that Maybe maybe not. We had a 10-year anniversary of the book also So 20 doesn't seem right. It seemed like it should be like the 25th anniversary But who knows? Let me know down there in the comments below if you got this waste of money. It's sorry I'm a little salty over this. I apologize But let me know down there in the comments below if you got a copy of this Let me know what you think of it. Do you have a copy of the original? I I would imagine this is a good Hardcover version for those of you who don't own the original book. I don't know let me know down in the comments below But until next time I have any you've and you it's been another video Stephen King related. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
