Thanks, Jon. I suspected the first one was a Plant copy and I could have guessed the NLR proof. I wouldn't have guessed the UK green Mile #2 proof since I used to own one of those and it is quite...
Jon, a question: I can identify most of them but what are the thin proofs (?) next to the pink UK talisman, the Green Mile proofs and the light blue UK HIA proof? Thanks!
PS please do post a couple of proof shelf pics if you can.
Jon, great to see you posting again. Quite a few magnificent items there, congratulations! I especially love the light blue UK HIA and UK BoB trifecta. Superb!
Another nice one! I was wondering (I don't remember if we discussed this before) - is there a particular 'type' of proof you like most? My favourite proofs were always the plain, bound ones because...
Good stuff!
Congratulations! The Scribner Outsider proof does seem to be quite scarce, like most of the plain blue Scribner proofs (I think From A Buick 8 is the only one that is easy to find).
Nice! I don't think I've seen this one before. One of twelve, wow!
Another winner!
Wow Jon, that is just great! The UK Tommyknockers is very scarce, and I don't think I've seen one with DJ. Impressive!
Oh yes I had one of those (without the letter), I totally forgot about that. And there was the one Bob has with the proof jacket.
Wow, I didn't expect to see this one today - that's pretty awesome! You're inching closer towards 200 proofs, Jon...
I'm missing the three UK states, Jon...
(just kidding - another very nice addition! And cool to see all the promo items.)
Thanks Michaël. I think Bob has one but I haven't any others. Maybe hutch?[/QUOTE]
Bob has one, and Betts sold one a couple of years ago that I just missed out on. I believe it was signed by King...
Wow, Jon!! That's a proof I always wanted when I was still collecting. I know of only two copies of this one... very scarce and a major addition to your collection.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Maybe the Hodder employee who numbered the proofs got as far as #231 before going home at night and forgot to continue the next morning, leaving 19 copies unnumbered?
That's great, Jon! I'm still wondering if there are more than 231 numbered copies. I assume there are probably 250 but I never saw one numbered higher than my old copy (#231).
Very nice, Jon! Looking forward to the rest (and the new bookshelf pics)...
YES!
Can't wait to see what you have in store, Jon. Since I stopped collecting proofs RPW has been my 'fix'.
