    If it was gilt, wouldn't it by definition be gold or golden in color?
    I think it is actually: Gold RGB color code = #FFD700 = 255*65536+215*256+0 = (255, 215, 0)

    Quality, quality, quality, I was looking at a not so clear photo that raised an element of doubt.
    I've been screwed a couple of times before... just doing a little homework is all.
    But now book is in hand & can say I'm pretty happy.

    I'd also like to point out that a book could be rebound and still have the First Edition copyright page.

    Looks OK to me.
    Thanks for the opinion....have one more question.....just found out that the book in question is a paperback, what would you all say a paperback, probably not first edition but with a legit sig is worth?
    I usually stick to hardback firsts, i am only still considering it because theperson could really use the money, so trying to help them out, and getting a signed King book doesn't hurt either.
    I just don't want to spend to much !

    Congratulations, Cook! Cross one off the 2013 collecting goals. Good for you!

    Nameless - if a paperback I personally wouldnt pay more than 50- and only because that sig is a nice one. If its an ARC tho would be worth a lot more

    Nightshift should not have any sticker on it. The only book I know of, in 1/1, that has strangeness with the price on the DJ is Salem's Lot, see the catalog for the 3 states of that DJ.

    I am wrong here it seems, see later posts for correct info, I am sorry.

    There were a bunch of Night Shift book club editions with price stickers, I believe. IIRC, Bob posted one in the One For The Road publishing history in his collection thread.

    Now hold on there. As I recall, didn't the initial print run fall short of demand for "Night Shift"? Then the distributors took xxxxx copies designated for BOMC (still 1/1 with code and all) and convert them to "trade" editions by adding a price to the DJ? I may be off a little on the details, but I'm pretty sure that overall that is correct.

    Wow, I am out of date here it seems, I stand/sit corrected, ty Merlin for setting me straight. I do now remember something about that, it's just been far too long since I looked into those kind of details. Maybe this information (if verifiable) should be added to the catalog entry for Nightshift?

    Now hold on there. As I recall, didn't the initial print run fall short of demand for "Night Shift"? Then the distributors took xxxxx copies designated for BOMC (still 1/1 with code and all) and convert them to "trade" editions by adding a price to the DJ? I may be off a little on the details, but I'm pretty sure that overall that is correct.
