Nice!

I guess my question will be:
Will there be a proof that does NOT state EMBARGOED?
Have to wait and see.....

Congrats! I followed the auction, but don't remember the seller indicating the dust jacket was in rough shape.

Congrats on the Dr Sleep proof, Mike.

Great Christine too, idlewarnings. Congrats.

Thanks. I thought it needed a new jacket. One of the flaps had a bent corner and something had stained the inside--probably residue from the pipe smoke.

Not really, just trying to be a good "Member". "Kingfan" has interest in it for an SK bauble to be named later.

The UK proof has a black kind of "funky" color/texture. Everything else seems ok, just the cover is different from other UK proofs.

Think you know this pic from the 2014 Stephen King calender.

That's where my copy came from too!

This is a big one for me.
There are only 2 or 3 King books on my wish list that I consider holy grails, and this is one of them.

With thanks to J.K. Rowling and her rabid fans (and Joe315 for the tip):

Most of my DT books are #756, so this is the right numbers in the wrong order:
