I need one more valued the ABA edition of Thinner.

I'd say about $100 for it also. They seem relatively common.

Thank John

Ok, Know-it-alls. This one should be obvious, but I'm never much of a speculator or reseller. I usually just accumulate. I can't seem to get a feel for a DT:LSOE, signed & numbered in traycase. However, this is one of those lame duck higher numbers that will never be part of a complete matched set: #913

Drop dead GORGEOUS book, either way.

This dropped from $950 to $350 overnight when TWTTK was released.

What would you folks say is a fair price to pay for a Carrie proof?

[biomieg]

About 50% of the price they are usually listed for (most of the ones available have been listed for a loooong time). I purchased my first copy (VG condition) from Betts for $500 and my second (NF, really almost as new) on eBay for $800. That was a great deal and should have been about $1200 I think. They are not that scarce (relatively speaking), especially compared to the proofs of the other early Doubleday books.

By the way, I assume you mean the ARC. A true Carrie proof would easily fetch $15,000 IMO. No one here has ever seen one.

Thanks for the info. Yes I mean the ARC. If anyone has one they are willing to sell at a fair price PM me. By the way, I've always wondered what the difference is between an ARC and a Proof.

[biomieg]

Mostly a matter of semantics I guess. Proofs are generally a scarcer, earlier and less fancy state of the book while ARCs are closer to a paperback version of the final product. But it's a very blurry distinction.

Makes sense thanks!

Took me a while but I found it, everything you every want to know about proof and galley sheets and the like.

Two Questions:
What do you guys think will be worth more once Carrie Lettered is released. Carrie Lettered or Salem's Lot Roman Numeraled?
Which is more desirable to you guys?

[biomieg]

I wish we'd already seen some pics of the lettered Carrie. For me, the aesthetics of a limited edition book are very important in determining if I'd ever want to get a copy (I don't collect S/Ls but there are several that I like).

I don't think anyone can answer that until we see what Carrie looks/feels like.

I think almost everyone on here loves all the Salem's Lot editions, except me. I think they are too large.

Thanks RF.

Thanks RF.

Be warned, you may pay a little more for a really clean copy. The cover damages easily and is prone to shelf wear more than other books. Also make sure you know all the 1st edition markings, there are A LOT of books on eBay that claim to be 1sts but aren't.

Not to mention copies are prone to spine color fade.
