Lividian Publications is pleased to offer our Deluxe Signed & Traycased Lettered Edition of Carrie’s Legacy: Revisiting Stephen King’s Girl with a Frightening Power. This exquisite special edition was printed independently from the Limited Edition on an upgraded 80# acid-free paper using a four-color press. To elevate this edition even further, our binder sprayed the page edges to complement the illustrated endpapers. Our case maker then constructed the matching clamshell case to house and protect the book.

Of Special Note to Collectors: We wanted all twenty artists to sign this very special edition, so we printed the entire Artwork Gallery ahead of time for them to sign their actual Artist Biography page instead of signature sheets. After the gallery pages were signed and returned to the printer, the bindery reassembled them to add to the book during the binding process. We’re extremely thrilled with how this section turned out!

Note 1: If you have questions about how we assign letters from book to book, please read this FAQ. 

Note 2: This edition is not signed by Stephen King.
