Hey guys.
Only PRISM copies from 1969 and 1970 have pics of King. And ofcourse the Lisbon high school yearbook from 1968 which I have. I already started a thread of it a few years back.
Thank you Herberwest and frik.

Startling Stories = Startling Mystery Stories, where he published The Glass Floor and The Reaper's Image
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
I noticed that, but didn't he mention another magazine soon after?
Something from the same publishing house of Sexology or something in those line?
Oh, and Rocky (RIP) and Justin would probably have been interested in the fact that he wrote (and binned) 40 pages of an erotica novel

It's known that he wrote a couple of pages of an erotic novel since these were paid higher per word than regular novels, but gave up and throw it away after writing a lesbian scene in a bird bath, while laughing at it.
Wanted list:

There has been lots of talk about book rebinding. I have a link to HH Book Services that was used by members here. Can anyone tell me about the process? What made you decide to rebind? How much should I anticipate paying?
I received a book from my mother in law of Thomas Jeffersons writings printed in 1829, but the spine is missing. The pages are uncut, but far from mint condition. Money is obviously going to play a major role in whether or not to rebind, but I just don't know if it's worth it. If you had a book that was completely restored would you even consider buying it or is that as big of a deal on antique books? It is not leather so I would consider having a leather binding made.
I would love to hear other people's experience with rebinding or restoring books. What you might have learned to avoid. Share pictures if you have them.
If you look around you can see where I have had several books rebound.
Rebinding becomes a CBA (Cost benefit analysis). How important is the book, or what's left of it, to you?
Is it a family legacy (usually some bible) where few if anyone else would ever want the book, but it's a treasure to you or a loved one?
Is it something you want to restore/change and sell (I've done may a pet project where the finalized book was auctioned for our Fundraiser)? If so, money "is an object" and achieving great results without breaking the bank ends up being a compromise of cost for the restoration.
If it's a personal project and cost be damned, then there are a few professionals in the USA that can (for thousands of dollars) create what literally is a piece of art.
There are a ton more things to talk about, but certainly if you aren't passionate about it, don't do it.
I have a similar question. Would it be legal to take already published material and make your own book just for yourself and not to sell to others? Would I still need permission from the authors/publishers?
You can take a book you own (much like a car you own) and customize it. You could buy 100 Scribner Trade 1st edition hardbacks of EOW and paint an original piece on top of the DJ, and sell them as your own artistic creation of something you have previously bought and paid for. The writer, and publisher have been paid for the book.
That being said, we have a Copyright thread, and I'm not a lawyer, let alone a CR specialist.
In general, you can take a single book you own (not a bootleg or CR book) and just about do anything you want with it. Immerse it in urine (kinda been done another way so be careful of imitating art for a commercial interest), affix it to a Koran (be very careful of showing someone), etc.
Thanks for the info RF. I might contact them to see if they had an idea of cost. It certainly would be neat, but not at the expense of several thousand dollars.
Paul (Zelig) has taken a couple dozen EOTD 1sts and is having them rebound. The final cost being a few hundred dollars a piece, to include either tooled & stained leather or quarter bound leather with Caiman skin in a slipcase. There are many variables which affect the cost. Depending upon your desires, you can have a book 'quality rebound' starting at a couple of hundred and up. Cloth is cheaper, leather more and so on. No doubt you can have lesser quality work done for less.
Antiquarian books were often originally bound in multiple versions. In fact there were often multiple binders employed in the task. They are also often rebound. An original binding in fine condition is obviously worth more than a rebound version. A well done rebound version is more desirable than a severely damaged original binding. I would go with a era appropriate binding style, as if it was bound in the nineteenth century.
You can do pretty much anything you want for yourself and no one need be the wiser. Even if it were known, the likelihood of being sued for a non-commercial violation of copyright is almost nil.
You will violate copyright laws if you reproduce copyrighted content, especially for profit. That is if you take copyrighted material and have it reprinted, you will violate the copyright. If you take an already printed book and repackage it then you are probably safe. The printed word, the font, the artwork and the design are all potentially copyrighted. So taking a previously printed page block and rebinding it is fine as long as you don't use/reproduce original design/font/artwork without permission. A title isn't copyrighted and neither is an author's name. So you can use the title and author's name, but probably not the font, especially if it is distinctive.
I should add that copyright is being constantly extended. Anyone can print/publish anything that is past it's copyright date. A case by case basis is needed to be sure of more recent works, but anything prior to the 20th century is likely fair game.
