Book Collection : jonp

[biomieg]

Congratulations! I wasn't aware that copies were discarded due to the 'limted' misspelling (which I didn't know about either). And neither did I know that they were going for such outrageous prices!

You can probably tell that there's a lot I don't know... (and it's even worse since I became a father... I have no short- or long-term memory left to speak of...)

Thanks, Michaël. As far as pulped copies go, I am only relying on a couple of comments on the site, they may not be accurate. The highest prices did not sell, as IMHO they are extremely overpriced. I was surprised one sold at $1300!

Kids have certainly have addled my brain as well!

[zelig]

Congratulations Jon. I'm also surprised one sold for $1200. Although I suppose it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay, and it's certainly a desirable proof. Waiting for a better deal paid off for you. It's a really nice one to have.

More Wednesday awesomeness, Jon. I had no idea this proof went for so much dosh!

[Ari_Racing]

[Stockerlone]

Congrats Jon for this supercool Limted proof !!!

Thanks Paul. If true it's crazy money for a sale of this proof and the other proofs up for sale are ridiculous. BUT if someone really wants one! It would be interesting to know, if some was pulped, how many are remaining?

Thanks Alan. Same with me learning something new most days. Problem is some new fact goes in but a couple fall out the other side.

Very nice, Jon!

I am pretty sure I sold one a year or so ago, for about $100 or so. Shit! Don't remember who I sold it to...

[dnemec]

How did I forget it was Wednesday?! Very nice one, Jon! I had no idea how rare that one is!

[webstar1000]

Nice, that was the one that a newbie had was it not Jon? Good grab mate

Ouch! Yes, it seems to be worth more than that.

How did I forget it was Wednesday?! Very nice one, Jon! I had no idea how rare that one is!

Thanks Dez. Yes, it's quite rare. I've only seen a handful for sale.

Nice, that was the one that a newbie had was it not Jon? Good grab mate

Thanks Kris. Yes, it was the one that appeared in the proof thread for an opinion a couple of weeks ago by Hightower. It appeared on eBay UK and I snapped it up.

I think this was the last of the endless UK variant Dustjackets that I needed (excluding proof DJs). I'm happy to finally have it my collection. I would like to thank Alec for his generous gift of this elusive variant 1st.

Stephen King - 11/22/63 - UK 1st/1st HB Silver Lettering Variant



The Red and Silver variants side by side for comparsion.

[biomieg]

Nice! They do seem to be scarce. Congratulations on reaching another milestone.

[zelig]

Very nice Jon! One of my favorite King novels. I've been after that elusive variant for a long time. Very nice of Alec too.

[biomieg]

When I first saw the red-lettered state I thought that one was the anomaly - the copy I got from a local bookstore when the book came out was the silver-lettered state. Only after seeing more and more pics of other books and discussing the book here I figured out that I got lucky. Got myself a red-lettered state as well and sold them as a set a while later.

I'm not sure which colour I like better.

[Theli]

Very cool addition. Alec is a stand up guy!

Thanks Michaël. I was unaware of this variant until only a year or so ago. I never noticed any differences in the bookstores at the time. Now with recent releases, I look at the dustjackets and books closely to see if there are any variants and compare them between bookstores so as not to miss any potential variant at release.

Very nice Jon! One of my favorite King novels. I've been after that elusive variant for a long time. Very nice of Alec too.

Thanks Paul. It's my favorite novel of King's modern releases.

Very cool addition. Alec is a stand up guy!

Thanks Dan. Alec sure is a stand up guy!

Very nice, Jon!

Thanks Brian.
