Or try the "-symbol before hitting the e-button, that should result in ë.
But I don't know if that's a universal trick.
Very nice adds, Jon!

"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

Rare Proof Wednesday Week 21 - Two US proofs today. I have extended RPW by another week by obtaining a new rare UK proof which I'll post next week. With Finders Keepers, I thought I did pretty well by buying it for $40. It was advertised on Abebooks with a flaw of a noticeable bend. I was expecting in to have a massive crease in the cover but it is near perfect apart for a gentle bend in the book possibly due to the book being not stored flat (as shown in the last photograph). It looks very nice on the shelf.
Proof #120 - Stephen King - Different Seasons - US Advance Uncorrected Proof
Proof #121 - Stephen King - Finders Keepers - US Advance Uncorrected Proof

Wow great deal on the FK, Jon. Congratulations!
Thanks Paul.
Thanks Dan.
Thanks Frank. Different Seasons is certainly a nice one to have.
I think there are about 6-7 proofs that I would be able to buy tomorrow that I need, but my proof buying is certainly going to slow down dramatically as the remaining ones are getting tougher to find. I think that I will take a break from collecting (mostly to pay the proofs off) for a six to nine month period as I did about 3-4 years ago. I was initially looking at selling a few of my S/Ls to finance some of these rare proofs but I didn't in the end as I have real difficulty in selling any my King books. The only book that I would possibly buy soon is the next deluxe PS edition if it is signed by King. Otherwise I have no plans short-term.
Thanks Alan. Occasionally we come across these deals that we have to snap up as soon as we see them. Otherwise someone else will.
Very nice, Jon!

Rare Proof Wednesday Week 22 - I am really glad to have added this rare UK proof to my collection as it has been on my want list for quite some time. They were produced as a limited edition of 100 numbered copies but I believe many of them were pulped due to the misspelling of 'Limted' on the limitation page. Recently I have been offered two copies of this proof; the first as part of a set of three UK DT proofs (DTV-VII) at an incredible $3270 (£2500) and another on its own for $1550 (£1200). I politely declined the offers. I heard that another copy recently sold for $1300 (£915) if I remember correctly. However, I managed to pick up this beautiful copy for a reasonable price.
Proof #122 - Stephen King - The Dark Tower VII - The Dark Tower - UK Limited Edition Numbered Advance Uncorrected Proof (Number 57 of 100)
