Dark Tower V: will it have the same style of cover?
(sorry if this is a somewhat redundent thread on King, but I didn't want this question to get lost in a dead thread)
I just bought two of the re-issued Dark Tower hardcovers. I like the fact that all four re-issues have the same style on the spine and on the front cover. This way, they'll all look great on the shelves next to each other.
However, from the cover of Wolves of the Calla, it looks like it has a different style.
Does anyone know if the spine will look the same as the others? I don't want the last three to look totally different. If that's the case, I'm taking those two back to B&N.

You probably won't see a matching 7-book set until after they've all been released. Viking is doing the reprints, and Scribner/ Donald Grant are doing the new books.

I think there's a new cover design issued every time a new book in the series is released. The current batch of trade paperbacks is at least the third cover design I've seen on them.

Oh, so Viking isn't doing books 5-7? I'm sure there won't be a universal cover scheme until the end, then.

Grant gets the first limited edition publishing (if you go this route, you'll pay ~$60 for the last book- but get it about 5 or 6 months before it hits stores.),
Scribner gets the first mass market release,
And then Viking gets paperback and reprint rights.
Been a while since I read up on the whole thing (when I was debating trying to get the Grant editions) so I could have my facts a little off.

New publisher is doing the new, old is doing the previosly released so like its been said not lilkly to get matching covers.
Thats OK though otherwise I'd have three or so copies of a few of the books and I can't afford that for trade paperbacks. Maybe a boxset of hard cover someday but no time soon for me.

I checked out various websites. It seems that penquin won't be doing reprints of the new books until 2006 (there will be the normal tradepaperbacks before then).
Sounds to me that the best idea is to buy the four re-release hardcovers, and cross my fingers that the 3 new ones look at least somewhat like them. The front covers don't concern me, just the spine, so who knows.

That little key hole with the V (5) in it is on the spine of each of the reprint hardcovers in stores now. I wonder if this one will have it on the spine.

The spine for the TRADE edition through Scribner will have Grant on it and should NOT look exactly as the new hardbacks because those are put out by Viking.
Any Paperback Edition won't surface until sometime in 2004 when you'll see the last two Dark Tower books, Song of Susannah and The Dark Tower, released.
