That Night Shift is incredible! Congrats!
Wish my mailman left packages like that at my door. Congrats to money well spent!

I'm probably mistaken, but I seem to recall someone somewhere posting either Nebel or ES that had a legit King signature.King was pissed off about those books. He won't sign them.
Perhaps someone else recalls more details and will share.
YES
Wow, that is awesome. Do you own this copy? I assume so, so did king sign the book in your presence? If so, did he have any notable reaction to signing this particular infamous title? Or if you acquired it after it was already signed, do you know about the circumstances of the signing? Like did King have to be coaxed into signing? Sorry for all the questions, but I feel like there's an interesting story behind this rarityI'm probably mistaken, but I seem to recall someone somewhere posting either Nebel or ES that had a legit King signature.King was pissed off about those books.

HE HAS EVERYTHING!!! lol!
I wonder if he IS Stephen King messing with us. He can just sign whatever he wants any time. hahahaha!
Just kidding! (unless you are and will sign all of my books, please)
In April 1989 Mr. KING came to the Pasadena Calif. Library to do research for his story The Library Policeman at that time he did a talk & signing. He was not pushing any particular book at that time so he was just signing books as I approached the table I presented him with a framed Xeroxed copy of the TIME cover (Below) & proceeded to place NEBEL in front of him (notice that it is signed on the title page... I was not trying to pull a fast one on him by having him sign a blank page.) & he signed the book without question.

Congrats RF, beautiful copy of Night Shift and HUGE congrats to Becca, acquiring that particular book is always a memorable day!
"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
Ha! That is awesome. I wonder if he knew or if he was just sort of spacing out and didn't notice. I mean, it's not like 'NEBEL' isn't big and bold on that title page! Then again, I would guess that he lives a good portion of his life inside his own head and pays minimal attention to the real world sometimes, so maybe he was a little 'on autopilot' right then! Thanks for sharing that. Do you know of any other copies of this book that are signed by King? Or do you have the literal only one?In April 1989 Mr. KING came to the Pasadena Calif.
