I know it would be impossible to get a genuine one, so I can make the offer knowing my money's safe.
I really would pay a tidy sum for Fine US and UK copies of Carrie inscribed to me and dated 1974/1975. Chances are very slim though.
Finally got the custom box that I commissioned from George and Patricia Sargent at Dragonfly Bindery for the final galley proof of THE SHINING. It's an unusual shaped box - 7" tall by 14" deep - to fit the unusual shaped pages.
Leather spine:
Hand tooled leather applique - images of the topiary animals with The Overlook Hotel in the background.
Opened to show the contents.
I really had no idea how to shelve or house or display this unusual early proof but I finally decided to go with a custom box and I like it quite a bit. Patricia's art would best be called primitive, I think, and she uses it on most of the other traycases I have seen. You can usually tell it is her work when you see it.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Bob, congrats to you for commissioning this, and hats off to those who created it.
Simply stunning!
congrats to you all on your recent acquisitions. i'm very impressed with everything. and i'm highly jealous of ari's bookcase. if i'm a very good turtle can i have one for hanukkah?
Congrats Bob that is one fantastic traycase
That is really nice work on that box. I really like the overlook hotel on it. Congrats, Bob.
Stunning Bob. Very good presentation.
Bob, I know I keep saying this, but you continually amaze me!

Got this too...
The March 1977 Penthouse with short story, The Children of the Corn.
This is my first "older" magazine with a King story in it. I recently bought a 3rd printing of The Gunslinger on Ebay since I had a gift set that was missing one, and the seller shipped it to me in a padded envelope. It got a bumped corner as a result, and I toild the seller I was dissapointed that they had not shipped it in a box. The seller apologized and sent me this absolutely free!
I think it is in great shape for a 31 year old magazine.
