Stephen King Proofs

[herbertwest]

Btw, july... if i remember correctly, the US proofs usually arrives about 3 months prior to publication right?
>>> So the very few US proofs for REVIVAL should arrive any time soon, for the lucky ones, no?

I don't expect to get my copy until the end of August or the beginning of September.

The mod at SKMB says they are out now, so you might get it sooner.

I thought this proof would be of interest to some of you. I haven't seen this one around much. It's the UK proof of Dark Visions which is what Night Visions 5 was published as in the UK.

[biomieg]

Nice! I had not seen this one before. And I'm glad to see actual proofs in this thread instead of only links to eBay auctions

[jhanic]

It's also in post #67 of my collections thread.

Ah. I see it now. I should have known you would have this one. :-)

Is there anything he doesn't have?!

I'd like to know that too. I secretly tried to stump him with this one but failed miserably!

There are a number of the early Doubleday proofs I don't have; I don't have the Green Mile #6, the Plume Gunslinger proof and a few others (including a number of the UK proofs). I'm sure there are lots of anthology proofs with King stories in them that I don't have. I get them when I find them.

Thanks for sharing, and good to know what you're still missing. If you don't mind me asking, how do you typically obtain ARC's for new releases? Revival for example. I've found when they first show up on ebay, they demand a pretty high price. At least that's what I remember with Mr. Mercedes.

I have a few contacts that get the ARCs who are willing to sell them. It's the developing of these contacts that's the hard part.

Okay thanks for the insight. Many years ago I used to own a small independent bookstore and getting proofs was really easy, and free.... ah, those were the days...

[Booknutt]

I just remembered I had a Transgressions ARC. Anyone looking for one of those?

They apparently start arriving in mailboxes according to Richard Chizmar.

I saw the black, was was unsure if was a lighting issue. It's till up at $49.99, so it must not be worth much.
