I have a question guys... What is considered a good deal for the Rock bottoms Litho? I am bidding on one on Ebay now and was wondering how far I should go? Thanks!

$175 max

Thanks Alan!

I'd say $225, but RF is usually on target.

Thanks guys!

Another question:

We picked up a signed (signature looks good, but I will post it here in a bit for others' opinions) copy of the mass-market paperback first edition of THE COLORADO KID. Found nothing on eBay, ABE, BookFinder.com.

Condition is near-fine with a bit of toning to the pages, light wear to wraps, but overall quite nice. Signature is in bright blue ink to the title page.

Thoughts?

Here's the signature on COLORADO KID; I'll post it in the authentication thread also:

Bumping this up, just in case anyone wants to weigh in on a possible value? Still haven't seen another copy offered for sale anywhere; I'm glad to have it but it doesn't quite fit in my collection--maybe that is the case with others and why this is scarce?

$200

I was able to get mine signed in Toronto. I would never sell it. i would agree that you dont see it too often, but Paperbacks dont have the same value as hardbacks for some reason. i have purchased paperbacks of Dr. Sleep, Joyland, Best Short Stories and The Green mile all under $200.

[Randall Flagg]

Correct on the PB's, with the possible exception of Rage, and maybe The Long Walk.

[skyofcrack]

To me, there's value in the early paperbacks in excellent condition, both U.S. and UK editions. Also, any paperback original or collection with the first appearance of a story.

[jhanic]

And don't forget the "legendary" first printing of Firestarter. That one's a scarce one.

[zelig]

Is that a boxed set?

[needfulthings]

YES

[zelig]

All 4 are 1st printings, or just the Firestarters?

[needfulthings]

JUST THE FIRESTARTERS (WITHOUT LOOKING I BELIVE THE DEAD ZONES ARE 13th PRINTINGS.)
I WAS WRONG DEAD ZONES ARE 7th PRINTINGS.

[biomieg]

I've been looking for a 1st Signet printing of Firestarter for a loooooong time!

[zelig]

Very nice! I want them!! I also need 1st printing Firestarter for my paperback collection...

[needfulthings]

I found these at

at a Arthur C. Clarke 2010: odyssey two signing in 1982. They were both sealed.... bought one opened it to see if it was a 1st printing& sure it was so because one was black & one was white I got them both (& still mint & unread 32 years later).

Spoiler:

[zelig]

Amazing!

I think it's worth the value of the book and the value of a King signature combined.

There might be a slight premium because we don't see a lot of them.

So I'm at $150-$200.

Me three! Looking for firestarter pb 1st edition

Ran across this yesterday. Any thoughts on the value? Box and books have some wear. Paperback box set with The Bachmen books, Thinner and Tommyknockers.

$15-$20

[erxbooks]

$15-$20

That's what I thought. There are some listed on amazon for $149.00 which is why I asked.

[2929]

Just came across a copy of the May, 2011 issue of The Atlantic, featuring SK's "Herman Wouk is Still Alive." One listing on ABE at about $20; this copy is not perfect (damage to lower-left corner) but clean otherwise. Does this have any value?
Thanks.

[AKC]

So, now that the 2 Rebound Editions of 'Salem's have sold, what do we ascertain the value of them to be? 24 out there from STU, 2 similar ones out there from TDT/Betts.

Anybody care to set the price?

[Room 217 Caretaker]

If this keeps up, I'm thinking about ripping the book blocks out of my extra Centipede copies and having them redone.

OK.....just kidding.
