I think Gerald is still gaining airmiles...
"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
Why specifically a UK seller?
Why not a US seller for which you pay the protected & secure shipping?

Probably import duties or VAT or whatever they call it?
In the UK books are exempt from VAT or import tax.
Estimate on the value of a first edition UK Night Shift (New English library)? Thanks guys
Depending on condition - $800-$1100

Thank you Fsmdr and Mr RT.More for a Fine/Fine copy.Depending on condition - $800-$1100
You have a lead on a copy? It's a nice one to have and one of the hardest-to-find early UK editions. Good luck!
Thanks biomieg. No lead, just looking at some of the gaps in my UK 1sts and starting to see if I can fill them before the Australian dollar falls even further (as predicted). It would look nice beside my US 1st. So would the Carrie UK for that matter!
I hope you find one, then! I used to own a full set of UK 1sts but sold them a couple of years ago. I made a point of getting the Big Five (plus The Dead Zone and Danse Macabre) back in my collection though - it just felt incomplete without them.
Yes, I'm going for both the UK and US 1sts for now as a priority, and the Dead Zone is on my hit list too. I've found that a surprisingly tough one to find so far.
Especially in collectible condition - the lettering of the title on the spine needs to be a deep orange but it's extremely prone to fading. On most copies you'll find it has faded to yellow.
I didn't know that, thanks so much for the info, I'll keep that detail in mind with my questions.
Is there any King book that is more prone to fading than the UK Dead Zone? I doubt it. Maybe Cycle of the Werewolf by Land of Enchantment. There is an anthology called The Second Book of Unknown Tales of Horror published in the UK in 1978. I believe it is the first hardcover appearance of "The Cat From Hell." The dust jacket spine is red with white lettering. Most of the copies I have seen are completely white and unreadable. I have found exactly one copy that is unfaded in 20 years of looking.I didn't know that, thanks so much for the info, I'll keep that detail in mind with my questions.
Wow! One in twenty years....that's a search and a half!
Well. I don't search every day. But, I just checked and there is a pretty decent copy on ABE right now with a pretty nice looking spine. I'd buy it if I didn't already have a nice copy.

Make sure it has "M & J" on the spine, otherwise it's not a 1st/1st.Yes, I'm going for both the UK and US 1sts for now as a priority, and the Dead Zone is on my hit list too. I've found that a surprisingly tough one to find so far.
