Stephen King Proofs

[jhanic]

Somehow I missed them, but I've added the three proofs of The Plant to the listing in the first post.

"Just" a King related proof but i think it´s kind of cool
Not every day you find a King related UK Proof from the 70´s

WHO'S WHO IN HORROR AND FANTASY FICTION ( from 1977 )

OVER 400 ENTRIES FROM MAJOR WRITERS TO LESSER KNOWN

That's neat!

I only have 1 proof left of King's work. Its a f/f proof of "IT"

So it's some kind of "directory" about authors in the genre, but there is no actual text from them? ie : King.
Still look nice !

[olverts]

Yes it is , no contributions by the authors but still kind of cool !
I have to read it some day because it´s suppose to be something about "newcomers to the genre like Stephen King"

We ALL love proofs, right?
Especially when those are freebies, isn't it? :-)

Received these in the mail today from our good friend in Sweden ... thank you Hannes! Really happy to finally get a copy of IT, and a sweet copy of The Talisman.

[jhanic]

Nice, George! Congratulations!

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, both are really NICE !!!

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice! I've been looking for an IT proof for sometime!

After giving up the idea of being a proof completist I decided to first focus on US proofs from the 80s (not including bound manuscripts, proofs of THE PLANT, and proofs of the DT series) and then maybe move on to another decade.

Here's a list (x = I have it). Did I miss anything?

Firestarter x
Danse Macabre x
Cujo x
Different Seasons x
Christine x
Pet Sematary 1st state (typewritten) x
Pet Sematary 2nd state (typeset) -
The Talisman x
Thinner x
Skeleton Crew x
The Bachman Books x
It x
The Eyes of the Dragon x
Misery x
The Tommyknockers x
Nightmares in the Sky -
Dolan's Cadillac 1st state (blue) x
Dolan's Cadillac 2nd state (brown) -
The Dark Half x

The Pet Sematary 2nd state is easy. But how hard will it be to find the Nightmares in the Sky and brown Dolan's Cadillac proofs? Does anyone have any leads? (I think I know the answer.)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I bought my Nightmares in the Sky partial proof on ebay. It was a BIN for £65. They just appear out-of-the-blue, so just keep your eyes open. Incidently, I sold mine for £114.
There have been a few Dolan's Cadillac proofs sold recently. Two blue ones sold at Betts for $225 and $299 this year. I'm sure someone on here bought a brown one recently.

[jhanic]

I was the one who got the brown proof. It was in April of this year. I paid $550 for it. It was the only one I'd seen up for sale for quite a while.

I got my copy of the Nightmares in the Sky partial proof from Hutch back in 20087 for $400.

I knew you were a bit older then some of us, but DAMN!

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

That's why Hutch's prices are so high

[jhanic]

Funny. Of course, I meant 2007.

BC?

Sometimes I feel that old!

John

[Brice]

Awww...you know I'm just teasing...mostly.

I FEEL that old most days.

[jhanic]

I know. I'm probably one of the oldest guys on these boards. If you think that's teasing, you haven't heard my 15-year-old grandson!

LOL

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I used to think 30 was old, then I used to think 40 was old, then I used to think 50 was old, then, ah, the hell with it!
