Betts Books

[goheat]

I knew everything would be out of my price range, but was curious. Not seeing the items on the Betts site -- anyone have a link or are the listings already taken down? If that's the case, anyone have a list of what they were?

Here's current list (without Pics):
(1) GREEN MILE LETTERED "G" - $4850 SOLD

This lettered edition is special in that ALL 6 books are remarqued by artist Mark Geyer and of course this lettered edition has an original art piece from Mark mounted in the traycase. An absolutely STUNNING presentation and an edition coveted by many but owned by only a select few!

(2) CARRIE LETTERED "W" - $4850

This lettered edition is an absolutely stunning piece produced by PS Publishing in the UK. The lettered book comes in a beautiful traycase, and includes an art portolio of all the original artwork done by Glenn Chadbourne plus an original separate Chardbourne art piece. This is only the second copy I've seen for sale since the book was published. ***Owning this book gives you right of first refusal to Lettered "W" of Thinner (forthcoming).

original art for Carrie Lettered

(3) DOLAN'S CADILLAC LETTERED (ask for Letter) - $2750

This lettered edition is an absolutely stunning collectible that rarely ever comes up for sale. This may be the 4th copy I've seen in almost 20 years.

(4) DOCTOR SLEEP LETTERED "I" TRIPLE REMARQUED- $2275 SOLD

This recently issued lettered edition is the fantastic sequel to The Shining and is beautifully crafted. This edition is triple remarqued by Vincent Chong, Glenn Chardbourne and Erin Wells.

(5) THE PLANT S/L I+II+RED EYES OF THE DRAGON ALL INSCRIBED TO JOSH G.- $7999

My understanding of this set was that Josh was the guy who did construction work on the King house at the time. However, reportedly, Josh ran into legal/law troubles in 1985 and as a result he did not receive the inscribed Plant III S/L book. So, King's "inner circle" who received the "full set" received the Plant I at Christmas 1982, Plant II Christmas 1983, Eyes of the Dragon Red Numbered S/L Christmas 1984 and Plant III Christmas 1985. So this is a complete "Josh" set as he was "removed" from the King list and did not receive Plant III. All items in this set are in Fine condition.

(6) SALEM'S LOT S/L RED #66 - $4950 SOLD

This is an incredibly rare state of Salem's Lot S/L, beautifully crafted by Centipede Press many years ago. There were 300 BLACK numbered copies produced and only 100 RED numbered copies that were reserved for Stephen King to essentially be given to his "inner circle" of community. This is only the third copy I've ever seen for sale!!

(7) SALEM'S LOT S/L BLACK #86 - $2200

This is a fan favorite rare state of Salem's Lot S/L, beautifully crafted by Centipede Press many years ago. There were 300 BLACK numbered copies produced....period!

(8) GREEN MILE S/L "PC" with Mr. Jingles REMARQUE- $1500

One of the highly sought after King collectibles (when you can find them) by SubPress. This copy is remarqued in book 1 by artist Mark Geyer - Mr. Jingles!

(9) SECRETARY OF DREAMS LETTERED I + II "PC" - $2350

A really gorgeous Cemetery Dance production of matching Lettered PC copies of Secretary of Dreams volumes I + II.

Looks like the "high-end" King market is alive and well. I would guess that all of these new listings will sell by the end of the week…...

Damn, there are still some fantastic items left from today's reveal. Plant/EOTD, SOD Lettered Set, Carrie Lettered and Green Mile S/L with Mr. Jingles!

My guess is that David will wake up to a couple of more emails from the offshore collectors.

Great stuff.

$6,999.00

[Roseannebarr]

David, how did the pickup go today? Is it going to be epic? First impression? Can't wait to see the listing!

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

What I don't like is that another King collector has decided to pack it in.

I particularly like the SOD Lettered set, but predictably it has now sold.

It's interesting to see yet another collector wishing to sell their Lettered Carrie, so soon though...

[webstar1000]

What I don't like is that another King collector has decided to pack it in.

He hasn't... From what I understand.. This is a small part of their collection and they are focusing on other parts of collecting.
