King Books/Items Wanted

[Patrick]

Does anyone know if there is any kind of a slipcase that will hold the F&SF Gunslinger magazines?

I made one a few years ago from 1/8" clear acetate. It was so gorgeous I had several masterbatery experiencies just recalling the smooth clear lines and figure hugging properties...

... Mmmmmm I'm satisfied!

All kidding aside, I made a clear acetate slipcase for my copies. I think I sold it to a member on here, for a few bucks.

I bought one like that on eBay years ago. After that description, I hope that Mr. R. T. was not the seller!

A day late, but one just sold in eBay yesterday for $634.

I actually bid on that one but I didn't quite bid enough, unless the winner bid a lot more than the winning bid which would mean I didn't bid near enough. There are some on ABE but they start at $1K and go up from there which I think is outrageous for this. I may make them an offer and see if they'll accept it. The worst they can do is say no, or just ignore me.

Mine looked exactly like that! (I sold mine with the books as well).

Its hard to get one in good condition. Bob's is the best I've seen.

[biomieg]

I have a copy, Alan. I'll send you some pics if I don't forget.

Yep I can't find a copy anywhere in ANY condition! Bob's is a beaut though.

That'd be great, thanks Michaël!

webstar, PM me if you also still want one.

[biomieg]

Alan, here you go (I figured I might as well post them here for the enjoyment of our collector friends ) As you can see the pics are not great but I guess they'll do. Book is covered by one of those vinyl (?) covers.

[The Library Policeman]

Wow! Superb copy. Thank you, Michaël

[biomieg]

BTW, this might raise the 'Open Market' discussion again but I guess the consensus is that this edition is the first?

[The Library Policeman]

I'd say it is most definitely the first edition

S/L Joyland....

Yep, there is one on eBay that's priced about $150.00 too high....

[mistercrowley]

Any help would be much appreciated here...I'm looking for info on the following: 1) King apparently wrote the official biography of Richard Bachman. It can be found on various websites, but I'm looking for info on when it was written and where it was first posted (or published if it was in some fanzine or something). On King's own MB nobody could help, not even the Moderator bothered to check into it, and people kept sending me the text of the Bachman Books intros, which was not what I asked for. 2) The US ARCs of The Green Mile, Bag of Bones and Hearts in Atlantis have letters from King to booksellers/reviewers. It seems like not all copies of them do, so they are likely scarce. Does anyone here have them and could perhaps do a scan or something? I do know some of the UK ARCs also has these letters, but I'm mostly interested in the US (first) ones. The Green Mile ARC letter is not the same as the Foreword: A Letter piece. 3) This is probably a bit of a stretch, but since this place is for the real collectors, I'll ask anyway: Way back in 2001, when readers submitted their writing samples on King's site (the On Writing Dick and Jane-exercises), a short note by King popped up, thanking the participants. The now defunct Needful Things website had the note on their site, but the first appearance (King's site) can't be found anywhere, not via Wayback. So does anyone here remembers it and perhaps (a stretch, I know) saved it as a pdf or printed it out? The same with a short comment by King on his own MB in September 2005, where the patrons wrote a birthday story for King. King praised it with a short note. That note appeared on Bev Vincent's MB, but the hardcore collector here wants to know if, again, someone might have saved it in one way or another from King's site? And finally (that's a promise): Philtrum Press had a full-page advertisement for the online The Plant publication, in USA Today and Publishers Weekly. The ad has a short note by King (displayed in one of the Phantasmagoria newsletters that I have). Does anyone have the USA Today/Publishers Weekly with the ad? Sorry for my ramblings, I've just become more and more "obsessive" trying to find everything King has published, even the "less important" pieces such as these.

S/L Joyland....

$150 for an S/L Joyland too high? I missing something?

[Robert Fulman]

The cheapest one on eBay is $495, which is "about $150 too high", meaning he thinks it's worth $350.

Those looks interesting. Sorry that I cannot help.
May I suggest that you make your post "clearer" to read, by adding spaces and going to the next line, such as your quoted message above? (instead of one giant block of text)

[DanishFan]

Yes, of course, I can see it needed some more consideration and paragraphs
