Very good Jon! That's one I'm missing. I have Vol. 2. Some day I will find its mate.

Sweet new proofs, Jon! Congrats!!!
Nice! How many left to unveil? I'm sure I'll get some withdrawal symptoms when you finish posting all the new proofs!
Thanks Michael. I have five to post that I have in hand. 3 common, 1 rare (I am saving this one until last) and an extremely scarce proof (the rarest book I own). Probably be posted by the weekend. I have 6 more on the way but these are rare or scarce ones. Those are probably going to arrive within a couple of weeks.
'Extremely scarce'... sounds intriguing!!
Proof #8
Stephen King - Pet Sematary - US Uncorrected Advance Proof (2nd State Typeset trade Cover)

Congratulations Jon. You're definitely filling in many blanks in your collection.
:thumbsup:
John
Congrats, Jon! Love that cover still, and the proof looks to be in good shape.
:clap::clap::clap: Keep them coming, Jon!!!
Proof #9 - Half way and last common one
Stephen King - The Secretary Of Dreams Volume Two - US Advance Uncorrected Proof (without Number on Page Edges)

Congrats Jon. Looking forward to the next batch of rarer items.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Proof #10 - This is the rarest book I now own, reportedly only 2 known copies exist (probably more out there somewhere). This book is going to be the centrepiece of my proof collection. It is not the most spectacular looking book and a difficult one to photograph to look good, but it's certainly taken my proof collection up a notch with the addition of this extremely scarce proof!!
Stephen King - Four Past Midnight - US Uncorrected Advance Proof (1st State Grey Covered Proof)

Brilliant Jon. I was waiting to see this one! Of course I really wanted it but had to draw the line after all the proofs I ended up getting. I'm very jealous and also super happy it ended up with you! Congratulations.
Very, very nice, Jon! I wanted it too but it was just priced out of my comfort range. Congratulations!
John
:) congrats man... That's very cool that ther is only two out there!!!!
I am more than a little envious... congratulations, Jon. This is the one proof I thought Bob would go after. Glad to see it found another great TDT home.
Thanks Paul. I'm really glad I got this one. I love these rare books.
Thanks John. Yeah, the original listed price was a bit rich for me also. I told David I was interested but that it was out of my price range. Luckily, I got it for a fair bit cheaper but it was still pricey.
Thanks Kris. It is pretty cool that there are two known copies and I have one of them. I am sure there are others out there that we do not know about. A kinda get a buzz out of chasing these rare books and collectibles. I suppose that's why we become collectors, some people don't understand it, but WTF!!
Thanks Michael. I was the second collector to be offered the FPM proof. The first declined.
