QUESTION
Over the weekend I picked up a copy of the UK Trade paperback at London Gatwick Airport for a member. I was asked to pick up all variant covers. Admittedly they only had two copies, BUT has anyone seen any other animal on the airport edition apart from a Tiger! The picture on Facebook that Simon posted upthread is a tiger, the copy Steve has is a tiger and all the copies I've seen (two) are tigers. I think possibly the airport edition only contains a tiger, as Hodder and most collectors don't consider airport editions collectable and probably wouldn't go through the additional expense of producing additional covers.
Stephen King / Owen King - Sleeping Beauties - UK 1st Airport Trade Paperback.
I for one hope they are all tigers!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Rare Proof Wednesday - This proof seems to be quite rare at the moment with only a few for sale on the open market. I have heard there were only 250 copies produced. Thanks to Jeremy for this one.
Proof #149 - Stephen King / Owen King - Sleeping Beauties - UK Limited Numbered Advance Uncorrected Proof
I tried to get the glow-in-the-dark effect of the lettering of the front cover - in pitch black with a shaky hand and a six second exposure - hence to blurred photo - I will eventually get a better photo (need a tripod)
Nice!

I don't really collect proofs, although I have a few… but I really would love to have this one! Super nice!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Wow, that one is gorgeous! And it glows too?! Sweet!
Nice! There is one on the Ebay thread night now at like 23 pounds! Someone here will grab it

Thanks Steve.
Thanks Becca. It's certainly one of the nicer modern day proof.
Thanks Dez. It has some unique features for a King proof, the french flaps with the finished cover artwork on the inside and the glowing lettering.
Thanks Kris. Spotted that one on eBay, I hope someone here grabs it!
Thanks Paul. Hope you are well. I need to catch up on the tour of Bob's basement and your most recent artist interviews.
I've been trying to get a few promo items for the 'King For A Day' promotion for King's 70th birthday.
Hodder & Stoughton marked Stephen King’s 70th birthday this September with a month of celebrations in honour of his books and films and featured interactive events on- and offline. Celebrations included events and bookshop promotions around the world (UK, Australia and New Zealand) for which promo items were given out.
Stephen King - 'A King For A Day' - UK Promo booklet including short extract from 'Sleeping Beauties', promo postcard and bookmarks. There is also a Tote Bag which I still need.
Stephen King - 'A King For A Day' - UK Paperback Covers Postcard Set (If the covers on the back of the bookmark were produced as postcards, I have seven of possibly nine -- but I have yet to see 'The Gunslinger' and 'The Stand' postcards.
It also featured a partnership with the BFI (British Film Institute) which ran a "Stephen King on Screen" season at BFI Southbank, including both adaptations of his novels and film favourites selected by King himself. The celebrations incorporated three dedicated days of “King for a Day” events with unique fan screenings and panels.

This promotion then led onto the 'Sleeping Beauties' promotion. This is one of a set of four promotional postcards.

Really nice, Jon. I managed to snag all of those too
Great stuff! I am jealous.
