Great deal!!! I hope that's the book you get. I don't believe many here have that version. The price just floors me, though. It is worth much more than $25 if it is even in "less than acceptable" condition. And it looks nice in the pics. Again, great deal.

Awesome!
Nice pickup and an amazing deal!
I picked this up on eBay the other day. I couldn't remember if I had the proof of volume 1 or not so I checked the database and sure enough I had it. The proof of volume 1 has a white taped spine and my notes reminded me that it was a pretty scarce proof. It is important bibliographically for King collectors since it has an introduction (foreword) by Stephen King. But the proof was recalled since it had no punctuation (periods or commas) throughout the book. Just another oddity in this crazy hobby.
Cool proof Bob-I've never seen that one before....

Nice proof
with of mine have labels on them!
Congrats!
That's a good one! Never seen it before. Congratulations!
Nice, Bob. I have the volume 1 proof but not the volume 2.

Nice! I like the way it looks (more so than the vol. 1 proof - I have a thing for those plain wrappers, it makes them truly stand out as a different state compared to the final book). Never seen it before.
The first round of proofs were recalled by Scribner because they ran the pages through some sort of despeckling algorithm that was so efficient it removed all of the punctuation. I had two copies and, for some reason, Scribner never asked for mine back. They issued replacements with periods and commas and stuff shortly thereafter.

How are you guys storing the unbound proofs? I have a couple of these and so far they just sit on my desk.
I haven't yet decided either. I do have them in archival quality plastic bags, but I may just box them eventually.

I got the large ones (Life-magazine size) from my local comics store. I bought a package of 25. Price was okay (about .25 per bag).
