Nice! How many left to unveil? I'm sure I'll get some withdrawal symptoms when you finish posting all the new proofs!

Thanks Michael. I have five to post that I have in hand. 3 common, 1 rare (I am saving this one until last) and an extremely scarce proof (the rarest book I own). Probably be posted by the weekend. I have 6 more on the way but these are rare or scarce ones. Those are probably going to arrive within a couple of weeks.

'Extremely scarce'... sounds intriguing!!

Congrats, Jon! Love that cover still, and the proof looks to be in good shape.

Thanks John. Yes it's in good shape - the only blemish is the creased corner top right.

Proof #10 - This is the rarest book I now own, reportedly only 2 known copies exist (probably more out there somewhere). This book is going to be the centrepiece of my proof collection. It is not the most spectacular looking book and a difficult one to photograph to look good, but it's certainly taken my proof collection up a notch with the addition of this extremely scarce proof!!

Stephen King - Four Past Midnight - US Uncorrected Advance Proof (1st State Grey Covered Proof)

**zelig** · 10-03-2015 04:14 AM

Brilliant Jon. I was waiting to see this one! Of course I really wanted it but had to draw the line after all the proofs I ended up getting. I'm very jealous and also super happy it ended up with you! Congratulations.

**jhanic** · 10-03-2015 07:57 AM

Very, very nice, Jon! I wanted it too but it was just priced out of my comfort range. Congratulations!

John

**webstar1000** · 10-03-2015 09:52 AM

congrats man... That's very cool that ther is only two out there!!!!

**biomieg** · 10-03-2015 09:54 AM

I am more than a little envious... congratulations, Jon. This is the one proof I thought Bob would go after. Glad to see it found another great TDT home.

Thanks Paul. I'm really glad I got this one. I love these rare books.

Thanks John. Yeah, the original listed price was a bit rich for me also. I told David I was interested but that it was out of my price range. Luckily, I got it for a fair bit cheaper but it was still pricey.

Thanks Kris. It is pretty cool that there are two known copies and I have one of them. I am sure there are others out there that we do not know about. A kinda get a buzz out of chasing these rare books and collectibles. I suppose that's why we become collectors, some people don't understand it, but WTF!!

Thanks Michael. I was the second collector to be offered the FPM proof. The first declined.
