Stephen King Proofs

[The Library Policeman]

Sorry I'm so late in answering, but I agree with everyone above. Value of a VG+ copy would be in the $250 range. I'm sure there were more than 25 produced, given the frequency they show up. I'd estimate that there were well over 100 produced (remember that these were sent to reviewers who, after reading them, probably discarded them.)

I don't think they actually made it to the rewiewers as King stopped its release.

Didn't know that. Why did he stop it?

Any thoughts on a good price for a NF proof of REVIVAL with promo letter?

I think it is pretty high especially since the condition of this particular copy is not very good. I've always thought all bookbid prices were way too high and don't think I have ever bought anything from them.

I'd agree with that. Maybe if it was in better shape... I saw two or three listed on Abe, and this one is in the middle of the price range. It's one I need, but may wait until another shows up, which isn't that often...

[jhanic]

I think it's high also. I think, given its condition, about half that would be right.

Thanks, guys! It's definitely on my want list, but not priority at the moment. I appreciate insights from the experts!

Been looking for one of these for awhile and picked this one up on Abe last week; aside from the markings on the front cover and the little curl to the upper right corner, it's a perfect book.

[biomieg]

Nice! I've only seen one or two that did not have any markings. For some reason most copies I've seen look like someone did some calculations on them. And has anyone seen a copy without the 's added manually after King's name?

[jhanic]

My copy has the price ($12.95) and publication date (4/1/81) written on it, along with a notation on the bottom of the cover "Plus 22 black, white photos". All the copies I've seen also have the 'S written in after King's name.

John

[George at C-Springs]

Yeah, this is probably the least marked copy that I've seen, and like I said otherwise it is absolutely pristine, not a scuff or wrinkle, looks brand new never read. Only thing I don't like about it is that old book smell! I'm pretty happy finding it.

[Randall Flagg]

Is it remotely possible the number notation is an old telephone exchange number?

[George at C-Springs]

Is it remotely possible the number notation is an old telephone exchange number?

Could be, I suppose, with SLn being the initials of the reviewer. Too bad no area code; well, actually good no area code, that would just be more notations on the cover. Bob/John, in your trove of data is there a list of reviewers who would have rcv'd a copy of Danse Macabre, and do any of them have the initials SLn? Or is it possibly Stu? Doesn't look like a "t" to me, but if it had a crossbar I'd say it was. Anyone know his old phone number?

[jhanic]

I have nothing pertinent.

John

[carlosdetweiller]

I have nothing for this question either.

That is exactly what my copy has;
Nothing but the 'S added after STEPHEN KING up top.
4/1/81 added after Tentative publication date:
!2.95 added after Tentative price:
plus 22 black & white photos added across the bottom

[killingjoke]

I'm new here so I'll probably look quite odd posting this first but I was wondering if any folks have an ARC copy of Revival. I write for a horror website and would love to throw up a review closer to the release date. If anyone would feel gracious enough to shoot me a PM, that'd be lovely. I also am willing to negotiate a price.

Welcome to the site. Hope you have the time to look around at what we have.

Currently ARC's of Revival are very difficult (near impossible) to obtain.
Things could quickly change, but right now there is far greater demand than supply.

[jhanic]

Hi killingjoke,

As far as I know, I'm one of the few (so far) to have a copy, but it's not for sale. Sorry.

John
