Stephen King Proofs

Added the UK Dark Tower VII proof with the misspelling on the limitation page to the listing.

John are you saying some of these were actually spelled correctly?

I'm not sure. I'd like to hear from anyone with one that is spelled correctly. I added it just in case there are some out there.

My #69 of 100 is spelled incorrectly.....

[zelig]

My copy is also spelled incorrectly. I was re-reading Mark's post and it sounds like they were all like this and some were pulped because of it. But yeah, it would be interesting if someone had a copy with the correct spelling.

[jhanic]

I changed the listing so that it shows that the limitation page is misspelled. If anyone has one that is spelled correctly, please let me know.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I am happy to finally get The Stand signed. Hopefully Stephen will make it out for the Under the Dome wrap party next month in L.A., and if so, I will hopefully get a few more proofs signed. I will post them afterwards.

Cheers.
Mark

Absolutely amazing stuff!

After reading a brief discussion which started here, I replayed the Colbert interview video at the end where he brings out the Bazaar book.

Take a look at the back cover. This is different to the regular proof, and this book looks like a hardcover. Could this be a proof DJ? Or maybe a different state of the proof?

Edit: More importantly, I want one!

[Roseannebarr]

This is my favorite piece along with my 'Salem's Lot Red Roman(lettered). Proof is in fine unread condition, spine hasn't even been cracked, there's not one crease!!!! I never knew if I'd ever get one but I'm absolutely thrilled I did. On top of it its a FINE copy!!! Note: picture of front and others have a small black mark, this is on my lens not the proof. Lighting isn't very good but proof has same color throughout.

That is a mint copy! Considering how much was paid for the poor copy! This must be worth a fortune! Congratulations! You sure know how to find some treasures!

My guess is that it's a hardcover copy. Just a guess, though. I haven't seen any pictures of the back of the hardcover, though. (If it's a proof dj, I want one too!)

I tend to agree. It's likely a regular hardcover copy with a proof DJ. Basically along the lines of the Under the Dome state with the word "proof" printed on the back of the DJ. You can clearly see "proof" on the back of this one as he brings it out from under the desk.

[Randall Flagg]

It also appears to have a UPC.

It also appears to have a UPC.

I agree, which kind of leads me to believe it's NOT a proof dj.

Do you get something like this flat signed with a new signature 2015. Or keep it mint?

I think it's possible that they would include the bar code on a proof DJ. It can't be the final DJ because that wouldn't have the word "proof" on it.

[jhanic]

I don't think that I've ever seen a proof dj with a UPC.

John

[biomieg]

Reminds me of the Under the Dome 'hardcover ARC' with DJ that Bob has in his collection. That DJ also had the word 'proof' on the back.

[Sir_Boomme]

I'm thinking... that it is a later proof dust jacket, wrapped around a copy of a Needful Things hardback....

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice, Slow Mutants and Matt! Congratulations!

[Roseannebarr]

As a collector would you get matts salems lot signed by sk or leave in mint condition?

[Pasiuk57]

Matt

[sharki69]

From Stephen King books FB page

Special advanced copies of THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS are in and ready to give a few lucky people some very bad dreams.

[jonp]

There's going to be a UK proof then!

Great question Glenn... I think his old signature would be nice... but not sure of his latest... great question though.
