I have my first editions arranged chronologically and will be adding the Bachman Book hardcover. Where does this fit in? You all understand that OCD feeling right? :)
The Bachman Books should be after Skeleton Crew and before IT.Quote:

You might want to squeeze in a COTW 1st PB after Skeleton Crew, but before Bachman Books hardback...

I was looking for some insight as to how good of a deal this turned out to be. I know it's hard to tell without actually having them in-hand, but I'm hoping I did the right thing. The lot ended up at just over $450 after shipping.

Without verifying that each HB is a true US 1st/1st, I would stay away.
Carrie and ‘Salem’s Lot don’t state ‘First Edition’ on the copyright page so that’s two of the bigger ones out of the running😳Quote:

I guess it all depends on your objective for this purchase, if you are just looking to get a bunch of reading copies, its not bad at only $8.50 a book. Some I think are 1/1, so they maybe be in the $10-$30. (well you may need to see the cover to make sure they are not BCE)Quote:

Well, there's a lesson for you. I always make sure of the final fees prior to bidding on online auctions. Auctions will at least have the price, the buyers premium/auctioneer's fee and the shipping. Sometimes there are other fees, or you can only use a certain shipper, etc.. Multiple items are often very expensive to ship.Quote:

Still, you have some nice books coming. Even if they are all later printings, they are worth what you paid. I think you'll find some firsts in there and be okay in the end.
It was a small brain fart, not factoring in realistic shipping costs. But I am looking forward to filling some shelves. I don't have the Viking Dark Tower books and II-IV aren't all that cheap. I think I'll be pleased.Quote:

As many of you know... I strived to get every S/L even the obscure ones like Duddits. After looking through the all the thoughts of others (and asked a few friends) I am starting to think the 1/25 King/Joe signed Road Rage with the numbered Key.... is a true blue signed limited. I am now thinking that this little book should be part of the catalogue BUT wanted others thoughts too. Thoughts?
If King signed it and it’s a limited edition, then I would say yes, as it fulfills both criteria 😀😀👍Quote:

How so? Just wonderingQuote:
