Congratulations, Jon! Looks to be in really sharp condition, too.

Thanks John. Yes, really nice copy. Just about perfect apart one slight worn corner.

Thanks Bill.

Thanks Siep.
I hope yours arrive better packed than the two copies I got today from amazon.uk. It didn't bode well when the books were just loose in the box with minimal packing (just a bit of brown paper). This is the good copy shown, the other has quite a moderately bumped corner. I was getting another copy for member here. I will have to go out and buy another copy as the top right corners are bumped. I'd be embarrassed to send this copy to him.

Very nice Jon. I also ordered my copy from amazon UK. Hopefully it doesn't arrived damaged... If it does I might need your help to pick up a better copy. Let's hope it arrives okay...

Thanks Dan. I really like the cover also.

Thanks Paul, if there is a problem just holler. They were just sliding from one end of the box to the other.

Stephen King - Dreamcatcher - US Advance Uncorrected Reader's Proof (Blue Cover)

[zelig]

Another one down!

[Merlin1958]

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That was a good catch. (And I ALSO ordered FINDERS KEEPERS from Amazon.uk!)

[Theli]

Another nice proof for the collection!

Another nice proof for the collection!

Thanks Guys. Yes, another proof added. Only another 150 or so to go. Yay!

Only another 150 or so to go. Yay!

A worthy goal!

[goheat]

A beauty, and one of the few I have as well!

Thanks John.

I think I won't even get close to that total. There are so many extremely rare proofs. I'll be happy with about 75 of them.
I'll never get to what you and John have.

Thanks John. I didn't realise it was a smaller format paperback.

Actually, my proof collection is pretty modest. I have most of the scarcer/early US ones but I 'lost' some of the scarcer UK proofs during one of my selling frenzies a couple of years ago. Right now I have 27 US proofs (starting with The Dead Zone up to and including Insomnia, which are basically all the regular trade edition proofs from 1979 to 1994, plus one of the Dolan's Cadillac ones) and only 7 UK proofs. These are also from the 1980's and early 1990's.

As I'm at work at the moment and really busy (hmmm.....), I can't check but off the top of head I have 20 US and 4 UK proofs. Some way to go.

[biomieg]

Haha, same here, 'busy' at work! I looked at the master list in the first post of the proofs thread and tallied what I know I have. I may have forgotten a couple but I don't think so.

That sucks, Jon.
Mine arrived a couple of minutes ago - in mint condition (It was a nice, tight fit).

The US edition will be here this Friday, via amazon.de.
