Very cool!
Very cool!
Burt Hatlen probably?
Especially that since in the foreword is written :
"During that class, an English professor at the University of Maine, Burton Hatlen, came in to lecture one day on Stoker's Dracula, and you will find that his insightful thoughts on horror as a potent part of a myth-pool in which we all bathe communally also form a part of this book's spine. So, thanks, Burt."
Ok, I don't collect proofs, so I am curious about the writing. For collecting proofs is it preferable to have clean copies or written on copies? If I collected them, I think I would prefer the written on ones, as this shows it was part of the editing process. I have always wondered about this.
Thanks,
Mike
This conversation made me go look as was sure I had one. Found my very clean NF copy has one line written across very bottom, "plus 22 black and white photos".
Made me think this might be good thing to carry when I spend time hunting Mr. King to sign something.
When I opened, I found had already been signed. Good to dig out some old things when the curiosity arises from conversations here.
I kick myself now that I diidn't take the one Currey had. (ouch!)

Spoiler: 04-24-2018 04:46 AMur2ndbiggestfanI have one of those in just about perfect condition. I think I paid about $75 for it. 04-24-2018 04:53 AMFather Cody 04-27-2018 02:16 PMperipheralValue on the Gunslinger Audio Tapes S/L / 800? Two have sold on eBay for $210 and $215 (both sealed), but they went very quickly I think. I wonder whether these were undervalued? 04-27-2018 03:05 PMRandall Flagg 04-27-2018 03:07 PMperipheral 04-27-2018 03:09 PMRandall Flagg$350 for Fine condition, however as evidenced, a deal can be had.

Thank you! 04-28-2018 07:06 AMCookIn response to Father Cody,
The stamp itself is desirable to some if its authentic.
The writing in the book significantly devalues and the jacket is really pretty rough.
Hows the spine look, any damage to it or the corners?
The real question.. would you be happy? 04-28-2018 07:46 AMIvo 04-28-2018 07:55 AMFather Cody 04-28-2018 08:17 AMtippy4I have one on ebay now...
