I can't believe it has the corner snipped off, just like a remainder cut.

That's not uncommon in the "proof" covers of paperbacks. I have a few like that.

I also have some paperback book cover proofs, and they all have a small round hole punched in them.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Two new proofs
Dear Me : A Letter to My Sixteen - Year- Old - Self ( Foreword by J K Rowling ) and King´s letter to himself .
The last one is interesting, Hannes. Does the proof say where the letter was first published? I know I have it somewhere in my collection and I don't think I have that particular book. Maybe in a magazine? Hmmmmm.
Nothing in the proof saying it were published before .
Did a quick google search and only came up with "Dear Me" results
An issue of The Guardian, according to Justin. Because of the issue date, i guess that this is a promotion for the book.Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller

Good letter. Thanks for posting.
That sounds right. One of those supplements to a UK newspaper. I've got that. I think that was the first appearance. Need to look for the book now. Thanks.An issue of The Guardian, according to Justin. Because of the issue date, i guess that this is a promotion for the book.
It was excerpted or published in a couple of places online to promo the book. USA Today and The Guardian, for example.

Has a blurb from King:

The Guardian was in the hard copy too. Does anyone know if it was in the print version of USA Today as well?

All of these came in the past few days, couple of King-related ones.

Thanks for that. I missed this one. Did CD advertise it?
It was included in one of their Early Readers Club offers, number 7 or 8, I forget which. I also received mine a few days ago. And now I purchased a grab bag, first time I've tried this.

Yep, got mine in Early Readers Club ... 7, I think is what we're on now. Tried a grab bag awhile back, but don't know that I'll do it again ... got two I already had and the rest I just didn't care that much about. At least with the ERC I know I'll be getting ARCs, which I like regardless.

Thanks for the info.
Did we ever figure out how many there were of the rarer of the UK 11/22/63 Proofs? I have one of the 70.
The Catalog reads:
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton (UK).
Year of publication: 2011.
States: uncorrected proof (trade edition cover art) in two states. 1) Has "Embargoed. Hodder & Stoughton" printed on the pages, 2) does not. The numbering schemes differ as well.
Print run: 400 and 70. This has not been confirmed and they appear to be scarcer than that.
Hi Curt, no, I've not been able to verify the exact number of either state. I contacted the publicity person at Hodder but wasn't told much. I think you're lucky to get one of the 70, though.
John
Someone scored an ARC of Joyland for 18 bucks today.
Wanted list:
Ubris
wow. on ebay??
i don't know how many they printed, but i thought the number was relatively low.

Quite a few are showing up now in the hands of bloggers -- I've seen several people post pictures of them on FB.
