"there are multiple corrections in King's hand... It is stated on the custom case that someone made for these pages."
It is stated on the case that there are corrections made by King is how I read it.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
It indeed makes more sense now. Thanks again"there are multiple corrections in King's hand... It is stated on the custom case that someone made for these pages."

those typed pages are pretty fraking awesome Bob... so jealous of that...I can't remember if I have posted this galley proof or not. Seeing Gerald's fantastic UK proof got me to thinking about this. These are the long unbound galley proof pages for the Everest House edition of Danse Macabre. I first saw these years ago in Barry Levin's store in Santa Monica. He was convinced that there are multiple corrections in King's hand. I'm not entirely certain but Barry is rarely wrong about stuff like that so I'll go along with corrections in King's hand. It is stated on the custom case that someone made for these pages. Chris Cavalier must have bought them because they were in his "Super Collection" that was sold through Betts. There are multiple corrections in many different hands which I find amusing because even with so many corrections there are still numerous errors, both textual and factual, in the finished book.
I'm pretty sure that these are some of the corrections that Levin says are in King's hand. Again, I'm not 100% convinced of that fact.
Here is the proof of the limitation page for the signed limited edition. This early proof does not mention the lettered state.
A last minute addition that King has sent in that made it as a footnote into the finished book on pp. 346-347. I'm nearly 100% certain that this is original typed manuscript and not photocopy.
those first copies remind me of these I bought....also from chris's old collection... (think you've seen these personally ha ha)
BTW Bob... if I send you some trunks... can you bring your library with you to Maine next month so we can all drool over it?
Why doesn't everyone just stop over in Amarillo on their way home?
better be careful making that offer Bob... everyone here knows about that collection of yours and have been dreaming for years about walking into that awesome basement of yours. You might just wake up to find 5000+ hungry fanatical king fans standing on your doorstep next week.Why doesn't everyone just stop over in Amarillo on their way home?
I myself just want to take a peek at and play some monkey bars on the oil well derrick you have in your backyard.
Derricks (plural).
I knew it... I knew it!
there's no way you could have fill that entire basement with all them goodies on just a doctor's salary....
Way over-priced given the condition:

I agree... I looked at that last week, since I don't have that one and I've been buying proofs lately... but no way in hell I'd pay a quarter of that price for that copy... I know it's rare...but the condition on that particular one... just would be acceptable quality to add to my collection, at any pretty much any price. (maybe if I got it for 20 bucks)
I'd rather wait until a fine copy shows up at a reasonable price.
If I'm not mistaken, this one has shown up numerous times. Agree that it's overpriced and there are better copies out there.
