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.

What would you folks say is a fair price to pay for a Carrie proof?
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.
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.
Took me a while but I found it, everything you every want to know about proof and galley sheets and the like.

What is the value of a nf/nf Eyes of the Dragon?
Thanks in advance.
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?

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).
Thanks RF.
"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
