It's sort of an omnibus proof (from the UK), not extremely hard to find but this is a really nice copy. It will set you back a couple hundred $.
Thanks. Cool looking book!

Not a new SK book - but I just received the rest of this set today - from camelot:
And the big one in the collection is the third book - since it was actually the first printed in this deluxe series and used Joanne Rowling instead of JK Rowling as in all of the other editions - and the later printings of Prisoner of Azkaban:

Great minds think alike! You didn't happen to pick up that Wastelands remarque that Rick put up for sale a few days ago, did you?So that's why I didn't hear back from Betts about that one!.....boo-yah!
Congrats!
Thank you! And yes, I believe it's the ninth printing.

No, I have one of the earlier remarqued Waste Lands.Great minds think alike! You didn't happen to pick up that Wastelands remarque that Rick put up for sale a few days ago, did you?
Not getting that W&G turned out to be a good thing, because it allowed me to pick up a few nice "other author" finds.

When Knowing Darkness first came out in 2009 it was sold for around $295 I think? I wanted it but couldn't afford it. I have always wanted a copy and have watched copies come up occassionally on ebay for less, dipping to $150. I almost purchased that one but still resisted. Then our fearless leader RF posted in one of the threads that a Kknowing Darkness was up for bid on ebay I checked out the listing and could not resist the $99 Buy It Now price, which included a whopping $4 for shipping. Not too shabby for such a big book!
Also note that the seller was actualy George Beahm, who wrote the text in the book. He had ten copies for sale. George has written many many SK related books of which I have most. My fave is a Presentation Copy of his Limited Stephen King From A to Z signed by George and including a really nice tipped in photo of King's Bangor Home.
I first met George in Bangor being ingtroduced by Kevin Quigley. That was at the Bag of Bones signing in 1998 - incidentally when I also met a few of the really serious (super) collectors such as Charlie Fried, Chris ? and Bob Jackson (our very own CarlosDetweiler). George and I have since become friends. I have purchased other non SK related books from him in the past as well.
So proud to say that my newest P&J arrived at my doorstep yesterday, nicely signed by George! Also included were three foldout double-sided illustrations. Wow is this book big, and is it heavy! I am proud to say that it is now part of my collection - just where o where can I put it? For now it rests on my coffee table! I can't wait to start working my way through this giant book!
Here are a few pics.
This pic taken to show its size!
This pic shows it opened up and one side of the three inserted illustrations!
The illustration of Jake my fave here!
This last pic with the three illustrations flipped over and I placed Stephen King The Dark Man from CD Pubs in the pic for size comnparison! My fave illustration here being Roland at the Tower!

Great story, great deal, nice price & joy!
Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on the Knowing Darkness. I got my signed copy a couple months ago from George as well, and love it. Great looking book (even my 3 1/2 year old loves looking at some of the pictures), and George was very easy to work with.
Another thrilled member!
Happy to help.
I got mine from George too

So, guys - this is the kind of stuff I'm buying these days instead of books!
I guess I can't complain because it did come with a book (albeit a small one).
