"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
£200 = $313.51 according to Google/Yahoo/etc.
I bought a couple of books from Jon in this price range and Paypal's conversion was aroung $6 higher than the web exchange rate.
So $320 is spot on.
Also the exchange rate is constantly changing and these books were listed last week.

I appreciate the effort to list the books in dollars, but the actual price is in GBP at the time of payment.

Item for Sale: Price $550 incl. USPS insured shipping
2013 SUBTERRANEAN LIMITED EDITION Hardcover of the SHINING signed by Stephen King. Vincent Chong (illustrator). This is #335 of the 750 copies.
This edition in its beautiful marbled cover, suede leather display case, signed by King, and interior illustrations by the legendary illustrator Vincent Chong is considered to be the penultimate edition of the Shining.
This is a first-time sale. I have been holding onto it since ordering in 2013. It has been opened just twice- first to inspect it upon receiving a couple years ago, and the second time to take the sales pictures a couple days ago. In the meantime, the book has been kept in a plastic bag within the display case which itself has been covered in another plastic bag.
It also includes the exclusive dust jacked received a few months after the book. This has remained completely unopened within its plastic tube.
Also includes the chapbook of Vincent's preliminary sketches that would go on to form the illustrations in the book.
Pictures of the display case interior can be emailed upon request to show that no significant discoloration issues are present in this edition. When the books were shipped back in 2014 most purchasers complained of the marble book cover rubbing off on the suede interior of the display case in transit. That is not a big issue for this copy as the pictures show.
I am happy to answer any questions about the book, or to email additional pictures upon request from interested buyers. I've had issues adding images to this post, but sending them via email is no problem. My Email sbkilpatty@gmail.com
Welcome to the site, skilpatr.
Don't take this the wrong way, but seeing as this is your first post on the forum, you might find that you will have better success with selling your book if you start introducing yourself around a bit and contribute to some of the other threads first, as this will allow members to get to know you.
Due to the lack of selling fees and frequent payment method of PayPal gift, most of the transactions between members on this thread are based on trust and this trust has been built over a period of time getting to know one another. We are a friendly bunch here and always welcome new members to the site, but it would be nice if we could get to know you a bit before you post items for sale on this thread. This is just my honest opinion and is not intended to offend.
Once again, welcome to the site my friend. I hope that you will enjoy being part of this community!
Hi T-Dogz-AK47
I know it's a bit unusual selling something on this site without a history. I have my uncle, a longtime contributor _SCC_ to vouch for me. As for me, I have generally been a more casual fan of Stephen King until recently, but he is the diehard who helped me get a deal on this signed edition. I also acquired a few others, but I'm selling this one now after the misses left and I need to generate some additional income.

Thanks Br!an and Stroppy Goblin. These prices were suggested to me by a very well respected member of this site a few weeks ago. Apologies if they are not entirely accurate. As I said above I am happy to move on any of the prices if people wish to PM me about a particular book. Everything thing must go as they say.

Hey everyone, I'd like to introduce my nephew to the site. His username is 'skilpatr' and I want to put in a good word for him. He's not as much of a die hard King fan as we are, but he does have pretty sweet, almost no flaws S/L Shining up for sale. I'll vouch for him (even if he did spell my username wrong).
Agreed with everything you say Tim. I find it odd when I see random people we have never chatted with or got to know trying to sell books. Not saying to not buy from them BUT PROTECT YOURSELF ALL!!! DO NOT pay with Paypal gift. If he wants $550 for his book and it's the first time listing here... he/she should be prepared to eat the 2.9% to gain that trust for future sales and get a positive itrader rating. Just my opinion though.
