    Interesting thread..

    I've been in need of a DT III jacket for some time. Hadn't even thought to ask here. If anyone has an extra in good shape (preferably rolled), please send me a PM.

    Thanks!!

    Checked my inventory and I am down to a handful of Gunslinger 1st dj's, and only 1 Gunslinger 2nd dj that are in NF+ condition.
    I have a couple DTIII dj's. They are unique in that they are untrimmed.

    BTW, I have had numerous inquiries about DTI dj's.

    I'm not selling at this time.
    It's more cost efficient to put one on a DTI 1st and increase the books value than to sell as a stand alone item.
    There are only a few people (besides Grant Books, but good luck buying one from them) in the world that have more than 3.
    I wish you luck, but I won't sell one right now. Of course someone could make me an offer "I can't refuse", but it would need to be impressive.

    The last DJ I sold went for $175. One year ago they went for $125.
    I wouldn't sell one now for $175.

    Buy the first one you see for sale (below ~$300).

    I am looking for a 1982 first edition Grant Gunslinger dust jacket. My wrapper is quite damaged and I would like to replace it with a better specimen. If you have one for sale, please let me know and drop me a line or post here, thanks!

    That DJ is VERY expensive. If you find one, be prepared to pay a pretty penny.

    What's expensive is relative; I am prepared to pay up to USD200 depending on condition. Iy does not need to be flawless. A few creases are acceptable.

    You will be lucky to get any decent condition Gunslinger DJ for $200. Expect to pay at least $300 for a VG+/NF and $400+ for a Fine. This assumes as RF said that you can even find one.
    "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

    My estimate for a fine unfolded dj is $500 plus.
    I have a couple and would not even sell them for $500.
    The people who will pay that usually need the dj for their $5k Gunslinger S/L.

    I need the jacket for a trade edition, and I would not pay crazy prices of USD500. This year, two first trade editions 'Gunslinger' copies sold at professional auction houses for USD425 + buyer's premium. Why would anyone buy a wrapper for USD500 if you can have the book with the wrapper in fine condition?

    No one is forcing you to pay the prices mentioned. I wish you the best of luck obtaining one. Occasionally a great deal comes along, and if so, I suggest you grab it.

    I know of someone with four unfolded DJ's - they are not selling either...

    1st Gunslinger DJ's have become a sound investment.

    Damn. I'll have to check. Now I've been trumped.

    Oh, and I'll sell one.
    Make me an offer I can't refuse (last time I said that, someone did, and I sold a DJ), but don't waste our time with a silly offer.

    I've got a few as well. I should go and count them, I guess. I used to think they were high when Grant was selling them for $20.

    Just a guess, but Robert Weiner from Grant books probably has 50 or more.

    RF sold me a very nice (brand new in fact) dustjacket for my Gunslinger 6 or 7 years a go.

    It is on my first edition. I don't have a S/L. I am a tramp.

    I actually prefer "softcover" books. Both for collecting and reading (always take them off and put them on a shelf while reading).

    I love the Dust Jackets, that is why I take the DJ off while reading because I usually destroy it if I have it with me. I love the look of hard cover books but I have been buying SC lately just so I can read. After holding IT in one hand while balancing on the moving train my wrist can't handle the weight of HCs on travel.
