That's the earliest one I know.
Well, I bid on it!That is one hell of a book, with quite a few signatures. I own one and it is a beauty to behold.I'm glad it all worked out in your favor. IMHO is still a great price for that volume!Thanks! I'm pleased to add this book to my collection. $380. Not too bad I reckon.
I bid on it too. Was going to see if i could grab it for around $375.00. I didn't want to go any higher because i just dropped $450.00 on The Shining S/L
So you're the one who bid it up!
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Do you think that signature is legitimate? Looks like Steven which would be wrong! Or it could be Steve in which case pretty cool, but I just don't know and the seller absolved himneslf of any legitimacy!
DT Spoiler - Enter at your own risk!
Spoiler:
Looks sketchy to me.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
So does that mean that I can call my copy 'Lettered'? it has no number and hasn't been stamped by PS either
"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
Yes. It's an unlettered Lettered Edition. It's still the Lettered Edition even though it isn't "lettered."So does that mean that I can call my copy 'Lettered'? it has no number and hasn't been stamped by PS either
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I don't like the signature and the condition, if what the seller says is correct, is poor.

My gut feeling is that it is legitimate. The inscription writing looks right on. I think he is signing as "Steve" but there seems to be too many letters for that. That part confuses me but everything else, including the "King", look just fine.Do you think that signature is legitimate? Looks like Steven which would be wrong!

I think it's actually the Traycased Edition but without the traycase that doesn't work very well. Leatherbound Signed Limited sounds good. Deluxe Leatherbound Signed Limited sounds even better.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Way overpriced.
Its not common to have spine fade. None of mine have any sun fading.
I've seen more offered with faded spines than I have those without.

The inscription looks right, but the "Steve" or "Steven" by itself throws me.
I have no interest in this item due to the condition and I don't collect proofs.
