I agree. I wouldn't pay more than $25.Is this a good price? Seems like it has some issues.

This arrived today!
I have some amazing new proofs I'll be posting soon, I look forward to sharing some pictures.
Is that a hardcover review copy? Nice! And I'm really curious to see what you have up your sleeve....
Thsnks Michael, yes it the Hardcover Review copy. All I'll say for now Michael is that its not a Doubleday Proof but I'm told its equal to or greater in terms of being RARE & It's the only Fine copy that our collecting circle knows of! A couple people that have helped with input probably know which I'm referring to but hopefully will let me do the honors.
How will it be distinguishable from a standard hardcover in two weeks when the book is released, beyond the accompanying letter?
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
Scrappy, but cheap. $3.50:
Stephen King The Dead Zone Advanced Readers Copy
I believe the letter is the only difference.
Here it is! One of the two copies known(in our collecting community anyways), this is the only fine copy at the moment! Very excited for this as I sold one of my 'Salem's Lot S/L's & a couple other items to get it. I never thought I'd do such a thing, but in means of being a rarity we only know of the two, it may not command the value or desire of a Doubleday to some it does for me!This arrived today!

Of course I went & bought a replacement 'Salem's Lot S/L as it just didn't seem right.
Here's another RARE on CELL! As the catalog states Scribner claims they never produced this Proof, yet a handful or less are in collectors hands.
Congratulations! Both are super rare proofs.
Yep! VERY rare indeed-not easy to find!
Congratulations!- green with envy...
Congratulations!
(I thought I had the only copy of the Cell proof!)

I have a Cell proof but I don't have the gray Four Past Midnight proof.
Congrats. Amazing
That's three that I know of!I have a Cell proof but I don't have the gray Four Past Midnight proof.
John
I have both the Cell proof and the Gray 4 Past Midnight proof.
Very rare to find-my Cell Proof was from from Chris Cavalier's collection if I remember correctly...
Thanks for the comments!
I believe that's the known handful if CELL Proofs & Mike had the other Gray Four Past Midnight making up the two copies
yeah... I've been after one of those Cell proofs for years... it's my albatross !
WOW, a CELL proof?
I think that I have always heard members here saying they had always been looking for one, like if it was the rarest of them all !

Awesome acquisitions!! I'm not a proof completist but that Cell proof just made my heart beat a little faster!
It's amazing to see what is desirable sometimes. I only have a few proofs, and none of great value, but if I had seen this somewhere I would have thought it was just a normal proof like any other from that era.
That's exactly what I was thinking. It's not like either of those are Classic novels. So I wouldn't think the proofs of those would mean that much. Just shows that there is still a ton to learn in the collecting world.
What's the story behind finding them?
