$1,500…….
4 pack-All 1sts NF or better. Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man.
ALL signed by Stephen King.
Looking for opinions on what a fair price would be for the Plume Bachman Books proof. Let's say VG+ to NF condition.
With & without the dust-jacket?
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon S/L?
He isn't looking for pictures... An estimate on price.[/QUOTE]
Sorry ....Forgot the ?
Besides zelig might like to know that the proof came with a dust-jacket.
I actually did not know that it came with a dust jacket. I've seen you post this picture before, but it never clicked that it was issued with the proof. Looking closely at it, I see it's subtly different to the trade hardcover jacket.
Thanks for the info John.
I don't keep records so I don't remember exactly but I think it was around $250. My copy has the same crease along the spine on the front cover as Bruce's copy and also a few glue (?) wrinkles on the spine.
What is the general opinion towards inscribed, signed, .....paperbacks. In 1980, Mr. King came to my high school in Gray, Maine to speak at an assembly. Afterwards, he set up a table in the lobby and started selling! It was pure luck that my 17 year old self had a couple of bucks in my pocket and I picked up new copies of The Shining and Night Shift, which he signed and inscribed. They have been the center piece of my little collection ever since. They are in 35 year old, well-loved-and-read condition. I have no intention of parting with them simply because they have always been there for me from here to Korea to Texas and back to Maine again.
I guess my question is do they even really rate anywhere on the "cool scale" for anyone else but me?
Welcome to the site! I too collect paperbacks and have some signed, but none along the lines of your story so that's very cool!
