I've only seen one of these for sale, for the Haven's Fund. There were only 20 copies produced for special reviewers / VIPs

Proof #148 - Stephen King / Richard Chizmar - Gwendy's Button Box - US Uncorrected Proof VIP Edition

I knew i would find some amazing stuff here , starting with the most recent and going back, it did not take long. WOW at this!

[ZombieElvis]

I think I have finally figured out how to display images with my new host.

This is my new P&J proof I tried to post a week or two ago. I--and hopefully you--can actually see it now.

Proof #146 - Stephen King - The Stand - US Doubleday 'Oblong' Advance Uncorrected Proof

outstanding!

Thanks Hans. I still have to work my way back and insert the photos again. Only the last third has photos. But, thank for your kind words.

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.

I for one hope they are all tigers!

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!

[dnemec]

Wow, that one is gorgeous! And it glows too?! Sweet!

[webstar1000]

Nice! There is one on the Ebay thread night now at like 23 pounds! Someone here will grab it

[zelig]

[jonp]

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!

Congrats Jon!

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.

Stephen King - BFI On Screen - UK Promo Postcard.



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