Yes Paul, that discoloration is the former glue residue that was used to hold the information sheet to the cover. I am not sure when in the past 40 years they were removed, but they were. I have a...

Good morning all,

I am glad I didn't bore you with my novella. I didn't realize I had a lot to say. To answer some questions:

“Open the window, and let your anger fly away”

Happy New Year Constant Readers. A couple of months ago I learned something that had puzzled me for over 15 years and...

Thank you Alan, but I must admit that I not familiar with this term. As I don't drink, is a bar steward a person that manages a pub and keeps order? Is it someone like 'Dot Cotton' on Eastenders,...

Thank you Seth. I hope so too. My biggest question is, how does a large estate collection end up going to a book seller, that really doesn't know much about books? When "Unpublished Proof" and...

Thank you everyone else for your kind words and encouragement. On this instance I feel lucky and if I am fortunate enough to find more King items from the same seller, I hope they are of the same...

While I usually do not have much luck with ABE, I still look regularly, because Carlosdetweiller always recounts his success stories with it. My usual encounter usually goes like this:

Well, crap. At least now I have a new Holy Grail of inscribed "To George" books.[/QUOTE]

Well George, I will do my best to HABU if and when I decide to let it go to greener (or bluer) pastures. I...

Hi George,

It wouldn't be much of a secret when you see all the postage stamps from Thailand, with a King holding his golden dog. Also, I was under the impression that the range was about $50....

Congratulations John,

I was surprised how much that went for. I guess they don't appear that often. Cherish it.

Thank you all for your kind words. I was very happy to finally see it and add it to the collection. No Mark, I was led to believe that the condition was really bad, but other than some spine bulges...

Happy Halloween everyone,

After I discovered the existence of “The Stand” Doubleday Printer’s Proof recently, that has been with its only owner for 35 years, it became a priority to hopefully see...

Hi, what are you talking about? I already sold this to you for $150.00, do you not remember? Wait a second, it wasn't your 'twinner' I hope. If so, just track him down and get it from him. Also,...

Thank you all for your warm messages. I was spending some time in "01" or "Machine City" as humans like to call it. It is nice to be back in the Matrix though. Yes, the man who sold the "Salem's...

Thank you all for your kind words. I was very happy to finally track down a copy since I read about them over 15 years ago. Yes Bob, it is similar to the "Carrie" proof. It is not printed by...

Hello all,

I was speaking with Jhanic yesterday to inquire about a proof I recently acquired. Based on his recommendation, Bill’s (Merlin), and many other kind people here, I have decided to share...

Congratulations Paul, I am very happy for you. I can't speak for my copy as I don't think it would have made a difference with the previous owners decision to part with it, but with the movie...

Thank you Ari, Jonp, Jon10g, John, and Michael. I guess in early 2006 my internet connection must have been very slow in Ireland, because I missed out on some great finds.

You have had a 9 year...

Gerald is leaving me in the dust. I am just sitting here choking on his exhaust fumes![/QUOTE]

Sorry Bob, it's not possible I have an electric car... no exhaust fumes.

Gerald :)
