Stephen King Proofs

[jhanic]

Very nice, Matt.

Do you happen to have the post number of Gerald's post regarding the 33 quantity? Because you can set up a different number of posts per page, I can't locate his post.

I know of at least four of these red proofs in collectors' hands, including yours. I have one, plus I also have a proof dust jacket for that book. (The only difference between that jacket and the actual one is that the price is zero.)

This is my copy of the red uncut full proof of the stand UK version I received in a trade recently, really happy that King signed it for me the other day they did 33 copies total according to Gerald's post on page 35 of the proof section, three other copies are known really excited to have this one signed!

Thanks Guys, John sorry post 840, Yours and two other copies and mine are makes the four I was thinking of is well.

I want to correct my edit. Matt was correct--I know of only four in collectors' hands. I counted one twice.

I also want to correct the information regarding my proof dust jacket. Mine does have a 16.95 price and a blank ISBN. (The actual price was 14.95.) I haven't compared the art on the proof dj with that of the actual dj, but I have the feeling that there are minor differences also.

It seem to me that Matt is getting signed stuff almost every other week. Admit it, you bought the house next door just to get signed stuff all the time !

I may be wrong but, from memory, this seller has been outed on this site as having dodgy signatures in the past.

I'm not a proof collector but have, over the years, acquired some proofs of particular books that I've liked. I was just sorting through them today when I noticed something. I've got two H in A UK proofs and always thought that the lettering on one of them (on the left) had worn from rubbing. Upon closer look, the "K" in King actually has the imprint of a G taking the gold out of the K. Anyone else noticed this?

And yes, I need to get out more...

And yes, I have obsessive compulsive traits...

I am hesitant to even post this because the item is not what I thought it would be and jhanic is not here. But I am bored this morning and the book does have some collector appeal (I suppose). It is an ARC of the UK The Green Mile by Orion. When I ordered it from a seller on ABE I assumed it was the trade paperback that was issued simultaneously with the hardback edition in 1998. I asked the seller a few questions and knew that it was designated an "ARC" only by stickers applied to the front and rear. When the book arrived I was disappointed to see that it was the smaller size paperback published a year later in 1999. Still it wasn't very expensive (shipping from the UK was more than the price of the book) and I had never seen one before. So here it is.

Still, it's a nice find.

Very nice! Congratulations, Bob!
