5- Does Indy only sell books? What other things do they sell or do?

Indy Editions started out selling Stephen King books but quickly found a passion for the artwork that goes along with the books. Then promo goods also picked up steam and in 2017 with the release of Suntup’s special editions of Misery Fine Press became part of the equation. Today Indy produces high end, highly limited Fine Press Stephen King books. Indy not only brokers but buys full collections and also offers signature verification on Indy letterhead, appraisals too! Indy also can act as a go-between to help two parties come to an agreement for a very small fee to ensure both parties are protected. Indy will also gladly give advice on anything to help your collection grow for free. Why? Cause the heart of Indy is a true blue born and bread collector.

6- How do you pack? What about insurance coverage?

Indy packs books bomb proof. There is nothing worse than a collector getting a book and its damaged from the shipping carrier! Indy Editions over packs to ensure this doesn’t happen. Indy also uses and recycles boxes and packing materials from companies in the shopping district they are located in. Packing is as important as the sale itself. As for insurance, Indy can insure most books even when it’s brokered and a 3rd party direct ship. Indy covers all books/artwork etc when shipped from the office directly. The 3rd party policy, while expensive, is a must as Indy will NEVER let anyone hang and be out of pocket. Protecting the good folks that trust Indy Editions top notch service is paramount and part of the reason for the success of this little book shop. There is not a single instance where Indy will complete a sale and all parties are not happy. It’s just not in the cards for Indy Editions.

7- What if I have a huge collection? What options are there? Will you come to me?

Short answer. YES. Indy will come to you. Sometimes it’s tough to sell a large collection. Having to deal with it all can be daunting. Indy’s mission is to make that as easy as possible and if coming to you is important then it is something that can be done.
