If it wasn't one of my favorite stories and one of the few magazines that I bothered to buy, I give my copy of Redbook to you Ari. I did try searching for a while for it today for you today, but I didn't come across any in the 20-30 minutes I browsed around for it. Obviously Like New is best, but what quality are you willing to work with if one of us does happen to run across one? Price range? I'll(we'll?) keep looking.
WANTED
US 1st Printings. I have THESE
#92 IT Portfolio (or the #95 IT to swap for the #92 that I have)
Any #95 SK-related Cemetery Dance Edition
Any #7 PS Publishing Edition
Sleeping Beauties: Signed Tour version.
Longshot I'm sure, but I'm looking for the just the traycase from the SP Shining S/L.
I definitely have one. I picked it up when it came on eBay, spur of the moment descision, no real idea why. Probably cheaper to ship Dez's but it's there if you want it.
EDIT: it's taking up space, make a donation for at least $20 to the HF and I'll ship it to you gratis

Are there any members here who have some of the "books about King and his work" that they maybe started to collect and then changed their mind and would be willing to sell? I've been gradually building up a nice sub collection starting with the S/L's and lettered ones, but am looking to get some of the more common 1st /1st books in a nice condition (and at a reasonable price!). I have over 40 books now so PM me if you have anything and I'll let you know if I need it.

Anyone remember seeing a signed 3X5 card with Mr. King's signature and the word "Boo!"? I'd like to purchase that if anyone here would be willing to sell it.
Hi, Mulleins.
Not terribly interested in a replica, but I suppose if it were super cheap I might be tempted. Only looking for an original sig with a fun horror-theme. Doesn't necessarily have to be "Boo!," that's just the only one I've seen. Any additional help is appreciated.
Exchange on the Canadian dollar is abysmal right now, so it might be a while before I can afford to buy anything, but maybe I can work out a trade. I have an extra copy of the S/L EOTD, a 1st US Trade of DOCTOR SLEEP that was signed in Toronto and an extra of REVIVAL from DC.
Looking for signed (prefer inscribed) 1st US of any of these titles:
Hearts in Atlantis
TGWLTG
Gerald’s Game
Dreamcatcher
Insomnia
From a Buick 8
Everything’s Eventual
Duma Key
PM if you would like to discuss.
Thanks!

Looking for 1st/1st UK editions of WTTK, Needful Things, Just Past Sunset, and Lisey's Story as well as WH editions (1st/1st) of WTTK, Revival, and BOBD. PM me some prices if anyone has any they're looking to move. Thanks fellas
Did W.H. Smith do a cover for BOBD? From looking on their site, it looks actually like the H & S cover.
Indeed they did.
Thanks! It's not in the site catalog and the picture on their site doesn't reflect the variant although it does state a cover exclusive to them. I tried to sign up for an account with them for notifications and such but it won't accept my US phone number :-/. Got an email into them about it. Anyway, sorry for the hijack. Thanks again for the clarification!
At this late date you would be better off checking with stroppygoblin. He may have an extra 1st Edition & ordering from WHSmith is like a pig-in-a poke you have no idea what edition or cover you will wind up with.
Nice. Private sellers prices seem on the high side but I guess you pay for the privilege of knowing exactly what you're getting. Further research (which I should do before looking foolish here) indicates they don't offer shipping to the US :-/. Best case scenario I guess would be to obtain a good UK mate and have them purchase and ship to ya .
... which I have been able to do for a few members for the last 4 books released in the UKSpoiler:
I don't have a spare copy of BOBD, but it's vaguely possible there are still WHSmith collectors copies still available in store. I can take a look next time i'm passing if you like? I DO have 2 remaining copies of Finders Keepers WH Smith limited if anyone is looking for one.

That would be awesome, Simon! (I hope it's Simon) I'm terrible at remembering names. Need to put sticky notes on my monitor LOL. I have both the Finders Keepers but in need of many more (Revival, Doctor Sleep, Mr Mercedes, etc) that I'm sure are well out of stores by now . I will take this opportunity to hit you up now for End of Watch UK editions if you're game
Ok, I'll see what I can find. I'll also add you to the list for new books, if you don't hear from me when it's released, send me a reminder PM
(Oh and yes it's Simon )

Simon, I'd love a copy of that WHSmith BoBD if you run across one. As you know, I'm a sucker for the WHSmith Collector Editions. Thanks for all your help!
