UK Twice the Power proof (contains Needful Things and Secret Window, Secret Garden):
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/UKTwicethePowerproof.jpg
It's been rumored that a Twice the Power proof exists with a different story than Secret Window, but no-one that I know has ever seen this.
Except for a number of UK proofs that I haven't yet scanned (including the DT ones), that's about it for my UK proof collection. I'll be getting to the missing ones soon.
I want to emphasize that I own all the proofs I have listed. I have pictures of some of the ones I'm missing, but I'm not scanning those here.

Very impressive, John!. It takes a lot of dedication to amass what you have collected.
On the 1st one, the Uk Blaze, is that like the Sampler proof of the Just After Sunset?. Or is it more a promotional pamphlet like the Wizard and Glass pamphlet?. If it's a promo item, I want one!.
jhanic
11-23-2008, 04:50 AM
It's more of the promotional pamphlet. Here's picture of the inside:

Really nice collection you have going, John. The SKELETON CREW proof is really scarce and yours is one of the nicer condition copies I have seen. The NIGHTMARES IN THE SKY proof is also a VERY hard to get item.
We really need to work on getting you a proof of THE GREEN MILE #6!

Is there a Grant Gunslinger proof?. I remembered something being mentioned on it, but I've never seen one.
I've never heard of a Grant Gunslinger proof--of couse, that in itself doesn't mean much--but if anyone has ever seen one, please let me know.

Several years ago I asked Robert Weiner that question. There was no proof done of the Grant Gunslinger. It its place Robert said that they did "about a dozen F&G's." I have never seen one of these F&G's offered for sale nor do I know of a collector who has one.

I'll be getting to those eventually. I'm just not sure when, given the holidays, etc. It does take quite a bit of effort, mainly because all my books are upstairs, while the computer is on the first floor. I just don't do stairs the way I used to.

Hi Jonah, Welcome to the forums!
You probably won't see any (or at least not many) on eBay until the book is actually issued in November. King's people keep a close eye out for them before then because they are not allowed to be sold. After the book is published, they don't seem to care.

Since Proofs are a little flimsy, how do you store your copies? Archive bag? Custom slipcases or traycases?

Archival bags for the vast majority. A few come in slipcases, which I also keep in the bags.

An alternative is to use protective paperback covers like the ones Mr. Rabbit Trick uses (I've also purchased a bunch and they work great). Example:
http://www.akyle.f2s.com/images/p_deadzone.jpg
These are available in many sizes and are very easy to apply! The link I have (from Mr.RT) is http://www.care4books.com/packaging/page.asp?type=cat&pid=4&cid=1
This company is based in the UK but I imagine similar companies exist in the US.

Yeah, but they don't protect against dust on the pages themselves. I'd rather have something that protects the entire volume.

Volume 2:
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/Other_Proofs/EssentialSKproofv2.jpg
Although it says on the cover that each volume is an "Advance Uncorrected Proof", the contents are more like a manuscript than a proof. The size is more like a manuscript also.

In a discussion in The Collector's Forums, I was discussing the two versions of the US proofs of The Regulators. I then realized I had not uploaded the pictures in my Collections thread, so here they are:
The Regulators first state proof:
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/US_Proofs/RegulatorsAproof.jpg
The Regulators first state proof spine:
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/US_Proofs/Regulatorsproofspine.jpg
The Regulators second state proof "A":
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/US_Proofs/Regulatorsproof.jpg
The Regulators second state proof "A" spine:
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr60/johnhanic/US_Proofs/RegulatorsAproofspine.jpg
The seccnd state proof is said to be between 24 and 35 copies. The publisher messed up the pagination of the first state proof and corrected it in the second state.

I'm still somewhat of a novice collector. I thought Lonely Road sent this to you direct, since it hasn't been published yet and is "Out to the Printer" according to CD.
So, if I may ask, you got this through like Ebay or something similar? Or was it a guy, who knows a guy kinda thing. I ask cause you have such an extensive collection of proofs. :orely:

Many thanks to Eric for putting this image together for me.
Here's a bit of what King's story, You Know They Got a Hell of a Band, looks like:

This item is more like a bound galley than a regular proof. It's oversize, 8 x 14".

Shock Rock! I don't have a proof, but I do have 1 or 2 of the 1st/1st paperbacks in mint condition- (correct me if I am wrong, but the PB was the true 1st of the book).

Correct. US edition first, then UK edition.

I don't think Shock Rock was ever issued as a hardcover.

How many grey covers of BAG OF BONES do you think were made John?

Very, very few. I know of fewer than 10 (actually about five) in collector's hands.

What is your favorite proof, John. Not necessarily the most expensive or rare, but just your favorite.
