    Is that Firestarter a 1st/1st? That looks in great shape if it is! So hard to find one as vibrant as that on the spine.
    "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

    Sadly, no. My earliest 1/1 is the IT. I actually took some pics of it today as it is in better condition than i thought. May post them and get your opinions as I'm still pretty green at grading.

    Would like to get some opinions on condition/grading. I'm still pretty green and everyone seems to have different standards. Guess I'm hoping for
    a ballpark consensus. Preferably a Fenway Park consensus......


    This is my earliest 1/1







    I know the back is scuffed up, but i'm still thinking an overall of Good.
    Thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Nice stuff. What's your favorite King book?
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    My favorite book is generally whichever one I'm reading at the time. ( lame, i know but it's honest). In the living room i am presently re-reading Skeleton Crew. (love "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" and "Survival Type"). In the bedroom I'm re-reading 11/22/63. I am also having a short affair with Donaldson's "Illearth War", but don't tell the others.

    My all-time favorite King anything though would have to be The Long Walk. I've read it at least once a year, every year since i found it. Thirty, thirty-five times? Every time i see it like the perfect movie in my head. I've heard/read that Darabount (sp?) has talked about trying it. Him I would trust.

    There is just something about the story that pulls me in even though I know what to expect. The characters engage me all over again though I know exactly who I am going to like and who I will hate. (dance on your gravvvesssss!!!!!!!).

    the only other story to even come close would be Harlan Ellison's "A Boy And His Dog". That story helped convince me to become a Military Police Working Dog Handler.

    I posted a picture of what your wife might have been looking at all those years ago. A black and white proof photo of the UK dustjacket. Posted in the Welcome To The Corner and Old-Timers Inquiry thread. Did you see that and, if so, did you ask her if that might be what she was looking at?

    I did show her and she admits that after 37 or so years her memory of that less-than-a-minute glance isn't what it used to be. She just remembers Stephen being pretty excited by whatever his decision was. It may end up being one of those Lost to the Ages moments.

    Thanks for trying though...
