100% Legit.....
Two copies of "Misery" signed - one on abebooks, one on ebay. Are they both genuine? they both look genuine/legit to me but compared to each other some differences in loops, leg of the y, the word "your", etc, major differences in the swirls on the "t" letters too. What do you guys think? I think the Annie Wilkes one is pretty cool.
Both look good.
I agree. Good.
I agree with everyone--good.

Well, these have certainly risen in value....
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
The seller is Princeton Books. I am familiar with their listings on ABE and eBay. Their listings are always laughably high.Originally Posted by stroppygoblin

I cry bullshit:
Stephen King The Stand 1st EditionsThe FIRST BOOK is a true first editionfirst printing of this rare book. The book is in goodcondition. No writings, remainders, names, etc that I can see. The book hasfirst edition listed on the copyright page with no print line and in the backof the book has the code T39. I cannot show you a picture of this because Iwill not bend the binding to provide that, but it is there…
I like this, too:
JohnTHE DUST JACKETIS NOT ORGINAL TO THE BOOK AND DOES NOT HAVE THE $12.95 PRICE TAG.................... I found a later versiondust jacket with a $21.95 price tag and put it on the book
I won this earlier today. Signature seems genuine/legit looking but a bit squiggly or ugly looking - is this one of the newer "ugly" signatures I've seen mentioned on the board?
99 percent sure it's genuine though. I got it at last minute bid, never won at last minute before - I just happened to be on my computer when it was ending and got a pop up notification to "bid again". Usually I don't watch to last minute or I win by the high bid I entered early on. I must see if I can get one of those Overlook slipcases to put this in.
On another note, can't decide if this is genuine or just "ugly ugly" - it doesn't look great.

I think it's okay.

The "Cell" one you mean? I don't think I'll go for it. But I'm happy enough with "11/22/63" - does that one look ok to you John?
11/22/63 sig is good....
Cell sig is NO GOOD....
I agree w AKC.
11.22.63
Cell
Is this about what the signed books at the Florida event look like? It looks good to me, but I thought I might as well check with the experts.
Thank you very much!
Pretty much.
Here's mine:
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
The Doctor Sleep signatures are all crap...
but genuine.
The Cell stinks. 11.22.63 is good--crappy but good.

Sarasota Bookstore1 signing sigs
I was reviewing my signed books from the Sarasota Bookstore1 signing yesterday and noted there was an anomaly which I don't always see at signings. Quite often sigs from a particular signing are consistent in placement and style. Here are a couple of examples of how King was less consistent at this signing. His underscore or squiggled line varied from the sig I got in UK Dr Sleep to my wife's who was in line right after me.
Just something I noticed.. and had not seen so obvious before.
Maybe King tried to draw a straight line but found it a difficult after a couple brewskys?
King doesn't drink.
I signed my name about 1300 times a couple of weekends ago for a limited edition -- my signature changed a lot during that session. It would start to degenerate and then I'd take a break and it would go back to "normal" and then...
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.
Come on, I was kidding.
Even if the signature is authentic (and I think it is), they've ruined the book:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...item258c76f855The book comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with matching holograms on the book and (COA) and comes with a set of proof pictures.
