High quality from Centipede Press and only 100 issued to life subscribers I believe.
So chances are there may well be quite a number on the secondary market.

Back to your comment Elliot, I...

I have one for sale David on “First and Fine”
Signed. Number 43/800.

Easy one to get muddled up with. I shall watch out for that in the future.

Both sheets.
King’s signature is there!

Looks good Jerome, though ‘First and Fine.Com’ have one at $575.00.

It has seen finer days, however that is only the fourth one I have ever seen.
That being the case I do not believe it was overpriced.

Beautiful copy.
If you wanted number 98 to complete a set it’s cheap, if you just wanted any number to finish a set it’s about right. The benefit from what I can see is the condition. It really is...

It seems odd that Michael Whelan has his signature so far down the page. In other words he signed this at the same time that he wrote the inscription. I am not in possession of all the facts, but...

According to David Williamson’s exhaustive list posted on 23rd October 2007, the #1 set was complete I - VII with Halthebookie as the owner.
I would consider it very strange, though not impossible,...

Is there a possibility it could be Letter ‘I’.
Not all lettered copies carried the serifs top and bottom.

I am siding with Matt on this. $16,500 is a stretch.
I purchased the one copy that David auctioned off some while ago. It is common knowledge, as the figures were published, that I paid a few...

I may well be wrong, however I was under the impression that King signed these on the limitation page as well as the inscription.
Nowhere near my books at present, to check, so apologies if this is...

For the sake of complete transparency the book that Kris mentioned was mine. I sold it to an intermediary, who then sold it to a rare book collector for around $130,000.
The copy I have advertised...

I would never hide behind an Ebay listing. It is my book, obviously posted by First and Fine.
Open to offers, as I am sure anybody would realise and the shipping would disappear. I never even...

Yes, most certainly my copy. ‘First and Fine’ have it on ABE Books and elected to put in on eBay as well.
The little mark on the inside front flap is (I am almost sure) where an insect has dined on...

As these are sealed in a plastic wrapper, perhaps they floated in the flooded cellar rather than being pulped by unimaginable water pressures, that were exerted on lesser protected volumes.
Just a...

Personally I believe you are correct.
Almost certainly caused when the page was tipped in.

A pleasure.
Hope it helps.

As promised I have contacted Alexander at “firstandfine”. He has answered the question I posted which should allay any fears of water damage. I have dealt with him many times in the past and he is...

I know the gentleman very well and will call him later to establish if there is a problem.
There will be another post here in a few hours with the answer and hopefully some changed images on EBay.
