Stephen King Collecting Questions

[Brian861]

'Cookie Jar' is in the smaller UK Hodder paperback, ISBN 978-1-473-69892-5, £7.99
It is also in the small size US paperback, ISBN 978-1-5011-2787-8, $9.99

I knew Steve would have those.

I thought that it was in the american version as well. Wasnt it?

It was in the french paperback edition though \o/

First appearance in Playboy or am I getting that confused with a different story?

You are correct.

Good enough for me then.

[Munnecom]

It’s a paperback exclusive, in any case. That’s what I wanted to know, thanks!

[OneFathom]

Best product for protecting the early Signet paperbacks. The Brodart equivalent? Does someone make cover protectors for small paperbacks?

[jhanic]

I use archival plastic bags.

You are correct.

Not aware of it published in Playboy. I thought it was in Virginia Quarterly Review 2016.

John

Me too. And since they're acid-free you can gently tape the corners down to get a really nice looking end result that displays well!

This book is in a taped archival bag and you can hardly tell:







(All issues you see are with the book itself (slight crease on cover, creased spine) and not the bag.)

Where do you get your archival bags from and what sizes do you order?

Thanks for this, Bev. I was mistaken then that it first appeared in Playboy and I even have that quarterly review I thought there was a story original to Playboy in 2017? I have it but too lazy at the moment to go dig it out.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I have enjoyed reading many articles in Playboy.

That's what I have, just checking! You know us completists!

[WeDealInLead]

Where do you get your archival bags from and what sizes do you order?

Mulleins

You can get them at every comic book store. I'm not sure of the measurements but the bags for the standard sized monthly comics will fit everything from pocket paperbacks to trade sized books. Those and other supplies are usually kept right by the counter in most shops.

Possibly useful knowledge: magazine sized archival bags can fit the CD Doubleday portfolios.

I'm sure you have, Steve

Mulleins

I personally get mine from https://www.squaredealonline.com/.

I get 2 mil thickness and I have 4 different sizes to accommodate both paperbacks as well as larger proofs. I have the following sizes that seem to cover all my bases:

• 2-BCW-BB-MM1: Book Sleeves - Polypropylene - Trade Paperback Book Size with Flap - 5" x 7-3/8" (a.k.a. Novel Bags)
  
• 2-BCW-BB: Book Sleeves - Polypropylene - with Flap -10" x 13" with a 2-1/2" Flap - BCW
  
• 2-BCW-BDIG: Comic Sleeves - Polypropylene - Digest Size with flap - 6" x 7 3/4" (a.k.a. Digest Bags)
  
• 2-BCW-MAG-L-R: Magazine Sleeves - Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylene - Oversize "Life" Magazine Size - with Resealable Flap - 11-1/8" x 14-1/4" (Sleeves, Bags, Covers, Slips)

The codes are the product codes from Square Deal (if you happen to choose them). I ordered 100 packs of each size in 2016 - my total then was <$100 and I'm still working my way through.

After you do a couple you learn how to fold them so that there are no creases on the front and only one small crease on the spine. Happy to do a small tutorial if you end up getting them and have any questions!

Wow, back farther than I thought. So Playboy would technically be the first appearance of the story?

Hey all,
I'm not sure at all if this is the right place to post this, but I've got a question about the Chadbourne covers. I love the artwork and am considering getting a cover, and perhaps eventually a few more. The only problem is that the covers seem rather cheaply made. Specifically the inner flap part. It seems cheaply printed, or maybe it's just the fact that they're signed in marker. It just doesn't look very professional to me, from the limited pictures I've seen. Does anyone here have any of these covers? Mind sharing some better pictures? The pics on the stephenkingcatalog aren't very telling, nor are any of the pics I've seen on ebay. I'm hoping for some fist hand impressions here. Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone, if the creator of these happens to be here. Like I said, I love the artwork and would be getting them for display. Thanks!

The covers to me feel like any other DJ. I only have one though, TBOBD. Because I thought it was cool looking. I don't really care for the others. No collecting value if that's a question as well.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't considering getting them as any sort of valuable collectible. Mostly just in my search for compiling all things Joyland.

[Ben Eads]

Thanks in advance everyone!

I hope this is the right thread for this question.

I recently purchased a copy of the SNL of The Shining published by Sub Press. Does anyone have any advice/insight as to how install the dust jacket? I've installed dust jacket protectors, but never the dust jacket itself. I've googled this and couldn't find anything.

Any insight/advice would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks!

I just placed the book spine near the center of the dust jacket, then laid the book down on it's back and then lined up the DJ ends. Once I was satisfied, I folded the ends over.

Thanks for the help and insight! I'll post some pics when I'm done.
