    I won't speak to the sig, as I'm no real judge, but for what it is worth I've been watching this one for about 2 months. It started out at $700 and has been dropping on price regularly. It is possible that the seller realizes that an unattached signature to a 10th printing just may not be all that valuable.

    I don't like it. The G looks like they went back and added the loop on the bottom later
    It looks to me like they added the entire G later.

    I don't like the signature for several reasons, but the most glaring is the upwards slash that "dots" the I in King. I looked at >100 King signatures, and none have a slash like that.

    Yeah, too much questionable about it, I agree, especially the separate 'g'

    I was curious, do we know who owns "The Killer" submission with the cover letter signed to Forrest J. Ackerman?

    I've got the letter. But I don't have the submitted story.

    Since Forrest Ackerman died some years ago, someone bought it for sure.

    I don't know. Only the letter was offered in the big auction of Forry's stuff.

    I guess I will go ahead and buy this new illustrated edition of Joyland published by Titan. Is there a US edition published by Random House? Or is the only edition the UK edition by Titan?

    I see them for about $14 on ABE plus about $4 shipping. Anyone know of a better deal anywhere?

    Thanks

    Thanks. I don't have Prime but I will look into it. So is there just one publisher and one edition? Or is there a UK and a US edition?

    I have a Cujo 1st UK HB for sale but now I'm not sure it's a 1st. Anyone here have knowledge of what to look for?

    An unpriced UK Cujo is an export edition not a 1st. The 1st is priced at £6.95.

    OK. Why is Cujo the only one with an export edition and why can't they both be firsts? What's the value of 1st vs. export edition?

    I think that they are both firsts. The book (I think) is exactly the same. The difference is in the dust jackets. One is priced, the other is not. Collectors seem to prefer the priced variant.

    Firestarter also had export copies by MacDonald. The book is identical, it is just the DJ that is unpriced. They did not produce enough 1st so some of the export editions were priced via stickers. The value of the export edition is not as valuable as the 1st.

    I've often wondered about this with the Titan/HCC books. From what I've been able to determine, there is only one edition. It's like a universal edition that has both the £ and $ price.

    How do you guys deal with anthologies signed by several authors?
    Do you put them aside as anthologies, or do you put it in the KING shelves? What if there are other authors you collect in it?
