Another Wednesday, another RPW. Well not quite a proof per se. These pages were used as a final check before the novel is bound and completed for publication. They came straight from the owner of Grant Publishing, Robert Weiner, via Betts. They are 1 of only 10 F&G produced.
Proof #147 - Stephen King - The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower - US Folded and Gathered Pre-production Typeset Unbound pages.
Rare wednesday proofs are back, yeah !
Nice item !

I must now use a very complicated, scientific word to express my reaction to this - !WOW!.
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...
Now, that's a special thing. Congrats!
I had never heard of those. Nice!
NICE job Jon. Good for you man.
HELP ME FIND

Nice! I have the F&Gs for DT1, 2, 3, 6, Little Sisters and Wind (amd some others). I've never seen the one for DT7.

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Cool cool Jon! Congrats.
Oh, my. Big congrats and very happy for you. Well done!
Hooray for RPW! Very cool, Jon!!!
It'ssss Baaaaa....aaaakkkk...
Great stuff, never heard of these, either.
Thanks everyone. I've heard of F&Gs before, but never seen one for sale before this one.
Another rare one for next week's RPW.
How 'sad' can us collectors be? Six trips to four different towns/cities and over a dozen stores, I have finally completed my UK editions of 'Sleeping Beauties' this morning. They look nice on the shelf but they have completely filled my first edition shelves. All the Waterstones in my area have now sold out of 1sts and are now stocking fourth printings. I suspect just north of me in the West Midlands, Simon has completely cleared out their stock as well.
Stephen King - Sleeping Beauties - UK 1st/1st Variants
Trade 1sts
WHSmith Collectors Editions
S/L and Tesco Exclusive Edition
Is this a bad time to mention that the Airport editions also have the 4 different animals?
Before anyone asks... NO.
"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
I here ya, Jon! I'm in the same boat! Outside of the S/L. And I can guarantee that Simon as cleared out stock in his area if just not for me aloneThey do look awesome on the shelf and something that will be hard to come by later on.

Good job I've decided to stop collecting the airport editions.
I wonder where the animals are, considering they're trade paperbacks?
In the inner flap. Someone posted it on Facebook. I’ll see if I can find the image.

Thanks Brian. I really hope they don't decide to do something like this again. I can cope with a WHSmith and trade first, but 9 1st/1st variants!!!!I here ya, Jon! I'm in the same boat! Outside of the S/L. And I can guarantee that Simon as cleared out stock in his area if just not for me alone
Glad I don't collect paperbacks as well.

They look good all lined up!
Are you joking or DO the airport editions have all four animals on them?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
