    Bob (carlosdetweiller) has a picture somewhere (probably in this thread) with the proofs of the other early Doubleday books and three of them (NIGHT SHIFT, THE SHINING and THE STAND) are oblong shaped. This is probably why a putative CARRIE proof state is also thought to be in a similar format.
    In honor of the 41st Anniversary of my earliest Stephen King signature, I would like to share with you all, my “Doubleday Nine”.

    While I have been reluctant in the past to share publicly my collection, the last few months with my son have forced me to re-evaluate my decisions. He is 14 months old now and while I am trying my best to teach him about sharing with others, I would be hypocritical in my part, if I don’t do the same.

    In the words of a great story teller from Middle Earth, “Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die.”

    I hope you enjoy.
    Gerald







    Here are the trinity proofs you referred to above.

    He has shown us many items that I did not know existed. Heard rumors of some of them and he has them. Amazing.

    The publishers letter was stuck to the cover so what you're seeing is the glue residue.

    Maybe someone else can chime in but I believe over time they simply fell off as the glue didn't hold.

    Yes Paul, that discoloration is the former glue residue that was used to hold the information sheet to the cover. I am not sure when in the past 40 years they were removed, but they were. I have a few loose sheets that were at one point affixed to the covers, but now they are kept separate in mylar sleeves.

    Whether or not the sales rep removed them to hand back to Doubleday editing department, the lucky reviewer, or an owner that was selling it at a flea market in Connecticut ($1 for The Shining copy) I do not know, but the glue has long since dried up and fallen off.

    Thanks for all the nice comments to answer a couple of you yes these new onnes are doubles. My set of Doubleday Proofs. The Carrie and top Salem's aren't photographing well with cell.



    The Salem's Lot next to each other both Fine one is a little more vibrant.

    This is a cool piece that came with the new Shining. It is a slip sent to those who received the proof. They were expected to fill it out and send it back.

    This is a copy of the first Shining Proof as new as the day it was printed.

    Thanks for commenting Mike. I thought that was a good price, but I wasn't sure.
