I used to see all of the Underwood/Miller books (both first eds and limiteds) on eBay quite frequently, but I don't remember any recent auctions.

I remember that someone told me that it was for a friend when I sent it, so maybe is that one

Sorry, had to be done.

Herbert-

I felt the need to edit out your image of the men's magazine. While I have no problem with it personally, it is site policy to not post pictures showing "private parts." (I know, insecure Americans). In addition, we have minors on the site, so that is why I editited the image.

LOL. I think I heard that here sometimes ....

I didnt even think about it. My mistake

I don't have my digital camera handy, but I just got a slipcase for the The Gunslinger that I ordered from StephenKingCollector.com and I must say - it is just very cool and makes my third printing look even more awesome than it already is.

**Sam** · 01-08-2009 03:33 PM

You don't have the slipcover The Gunslinger came in?

**bast_imret** · 01-08-2009 04:12 PM

Do those slipcovers from thecollector fit the books with a brodart cover on, or do they have to be naked?

I got the third printing of Gunslinger from Betts this past summer and it didn't come with a slipcase.

It fits just beautifully with the Brodart cover on it.

Mine too, it's very cool.

I'll take a picture as soon as I can.

Just chiming in that, yes, Tomas (The Collector) makes his slipcases with dustjacket protectors in mind, and that he really does do nice work.

herbertwest, congrats on your recent purchases.

**turtlex** · 01-08-2009 05:05 PM

For sure I am darned impressed with my little slipcase...

... being the newbie collector that I am, I didn't consider that the slipcase might NOT fit with the bookcover! Duh.

Big thumbs up from me!

**carlosdetweiller** · 01-09-2009 04:55 AM

I might have something pretty cool on the way. A deal is in the works. Stay tuned.

**jhanic** · 01-09-2009 05:21 AM

Bob, I wish you'd quit teasing us! The things you manage to obtain are always so fantastic! Now we'll all be eagerly waiting!

John

**Mr. Rabbit Trick** · 01-09-2009 05:56 AM

That's all our weekend plans out the window. We cannot go anywhere until Bob has revealed his latest grab!

Like John said, if YOU think its cool, the rest of us will be knocked out cold. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Let us know when you can.

**Gris** · 01-09-2009 06:37 AM

Not spectacular, but I never knew they came in hard cover to begin with, so YAY!

The Auction.

Please feel free to resume weekend activities. It'll be at least a week before I get it. Still a few details to work out.

Proof?
Rare Edition?

King in a cage? So you can force him to write what you want when you want and automatically have the original manuscript in your collection?? My guess is he pissed off Tabby!

**herbertwest** · 01-09-2009 07:20 AM

Cant wait to know what it is!

Think "motorcycle edition of Skeleton Crew" and you'll be in the ballpark.

In the ballpark? So not that book, but something on par with it? Impressive.

KING, STEPHEN. Skeleton Crew. Scream/Press, [Santa Cruz]. 1985. Small folio. Bound in full black Morocco (goat skin) with silver stamping on the spine and front cover. With a tipped-in leaf in the back of the book with a holograph inscription by Jeff Connor which reads, 'This is Jeff Connor's personal check copy. One signature was reprinted and the poster reprinted as well. This is a one of one edition, hand bound in goat skin in Santa Cruz for promotional use. Jeff Connor publisher.' With an inscription by King which reads, 'For ______ owner of the world's only known "motorcycle edition" of Skeleton Crew. Stephen King 3/22/86.' "

Mr. Jackson goes on to say, "I don't know which of the signatures was later reprinted or why. I think the laid-in poster had to be reprinted because this one has the artist's name as 'I. K. Potter' [should read 'J.K. Potter']. I don't think it originally had a slipcase. The one currently in use is the same as [the slipcase for] the numbered version and is a little too large."

Our thanks to Mr. Jackson for adding, for the record, one more state to the growing number of states discovered for the Scream/Press edition of Skeleton Crew.

So, Bob, any more hints???
