Stephen King Proofs

[AKC]

Ok, regarding desirability of Proofs, what the story on the Unbound inter-office proof of IT from CD?

Is it rare? Anybody else have one?

Any intel would be appreciated as I am contemplating acquiring one and don't know that much about them….

Thanks

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...

I remember! LOL

When it comes to CD (and other small/specialty publishers) proofs I think it really depends on your personal collecting goals - to me, those proofs are virtually worthless. I'm just not interested in proofs other than those of the original publisher of the trade editions. So I'd say that every price a buyer and seller agree on is good (case by case basis).

I know that's not really helpful but I think you'll get many different answers, whereas there will be much more consensus when it comes to 'regular' proofs (i.e., Scribner, Viking, Putnam, Doubleday).

I theory, CD could print off thousands of these, and include them in Grab Bags for evermore.

I'm also looking for one. I have four of the (possibly) eight ones that were distributed. I have both the Secretary of Dreams ones, FDNS and Carrie. I'm looking for It, The Dark Man, Doctor Sleep and Blockade Billy (and any others that may be out there.)

What's the $$ value of one of these "unbound inter-office proofs".

Again, recognizing to each their own….

Seems pricey to me:
Stephen King CARRIE First Edition US Advance Proof VG

[herbertwest]

I don't collect proofs, but it seem like a reasonnable price to me..

[biomieg]

Well, if you don't collect proofs why don't you send all the copies you receive from the publisher for free to me?

[herbertwest]

I keep what I recieve, but by I don't collect proofs I mostly meant that I don't hunt and gather already existing proofs etc.

Actually, the lack of space in my flat and fundings makes that I don't really hunt for anything. I don't even hunt anymore the first french editions...

The only two I've seen up for sale on eBay have both been the unbound The Secretary of Dreams Vol 2, they went for about $250. IMHO, the IT unbound proof would possibly be more desirable.

I wrote to the seller to let him know that his description "A nice item for Stephen King and Glenn Chadbourne completists looking for a unique item, since this is the only 3rd state proof of the manuscript!" is incorrect, as I also have a copy of the DM 3rd Proof. He responded quickly, said he already had a bid so couldn't update it, thanked me for the info, and asked me if I knew what the going price for the CD IT 25th proof (not the unbound) was.

he started a whole thread devoted to that question on the CD forum

I just commented with Brian's explanation from 25 Sep, 20 copies, and that I only knew of one copy to change hands (John's) but I wasn't privy to the price.

I think I just nailed it ??????

I never even saw that, weird. That's the blue cover no-tape version, you got a good deal.
