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

Thanks for posting it Shac!

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

Only a very early signature would be acceptable. So, as it is not already signed, leave it as it is.

I agree with Alan.

[webstar1000]

That was my thoughts when I read his question but... maybe you could ask King to sign his name like he did 25+ years ago. lol

[carlosdetweiller]

I tend to agree with Alan too. The book is already scarce, desirable and very expensive. The addition of a recent King signature would not add that much value to an already very valuable book. If you were lucky enough to be getting some items signed by King it would be much more productive to hand him a Mr. Mercedes first edition, a Blaze first edition, etc.

There's going to be a UK proof then!

A few days ago I was told that were going to arrive very soon

I'd disagree (respectfully)... any King signature would make an already fantastically cool item even cooler... I do not see a later King's signature as possibly taking any value away from the proof... however, being such an expensive and unique item to begin with, not sure how much the signature would actually add to the value... but in the very unlikely case two perfect copies were to land on the market at the same time (speaking very hypothetically here)... I think the signed copy (even if it were a later signature) would sell first and for a higher price than an unsigned copy.
and yes, I do realize, that the above situation will never happen, so the sig. probably won't matter as far as value is concerned (since it's already valued so high)... but to me at least, it would add even a little bit more to the overall awe factor.... not that I'm not already completely and totally awed by it.

This is actually the front cover of the proof.
I got mine today.
I dont know how many were printed, but my number is as low as a lettered book. Oh and it's embargoed.

[jhanic]

I've added it to the listing in the first post. Any idea on how many copies were published?

(I'm also looking for a copy.)
