Very cool, Jon. Those look great together.
Very nice! Congrats Jon!
Congrats Jon. I'm still missing one of the three. You've given me the motivation now to go and find it.
Thanks Kris, There were three different printers for the first US edition of EOTD. So the only difference in the whole book is on the copyright page (see photos below) where it lists the printers. Externally they are identical, apart from, it may be my imagination but the 'Haddon Craftmen's' variant (to the right) is slightly smaller than the two printed by Arcata Graphics.

Thank's, Jon. Never knew about the three variants.
The hunt's on again!

Jon, the one I'm missing is Arcata Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
FYI, although it isn't a thread that's commented on regularly, I did put together this list of variants and keep it updated. You can see the list in the first post: Stephen King Dust Jacket, Book, and Proof Variants
Incredible. They are in perfect shape too!!! I have been searching for a perfect one for awhile now!
Very nice acquisition, Jon!!!
Congrats, very VERY nice Jon !!!
New Proof today in perfect condition! I wish they had used this cover for the trade 1st.

Nice one! I didn't know you were looking for this one, I have a copy in similar condition for sale. Neverheless - congratulations. And I agree about the superior cover art.
That's the only one I have left that doesn't really fit my collecting goals. But if you're ever looking for a second copy... ;)
Nice, Jon! I agree--the art used on the UK trade edition has to be the worst. I wonder why they didn't go with the art on the proof.

Congratulation Jon on the new proof. I know the general consensus is that the art used on the proof is preferred over the final cover, but I've always had a different opinion. I do agree that the proof version is nicer, but I actually like the final cover. Maybe something about the simplicity or starkness (if that's the right word) of it. That duotone sort of look. I may be very much in the minority of people who like that cover.
Bob has a copy of the book with that proof DJ and I know one UK-based collector who has one but I've never seen any other copies.
I just checked my paperbacks and there is a NEL paperback version with that cover art as well.
