King Books/Items Wanted

[Randall Flagg]

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.

This letter isnt from King ;-)

Wanted - the following UK proofs:

• The Dead Zone
• Firestarter
• Christine
• Thinner
• Skeleton Crew (edit: partial proof)
• The Talisman
• IT
• The Eyes of the Dragon
• Misery

Modest goals, right? They will keep me busy for some time, I'm sure.


If you happen to have a lead on any of these, please let me know. Thank you! Most important to me right now are Thinner and Skeleton Crew.

I've never seen a UK full proof of Skeleton Crew. I have only seen the partial proof which includes the "Introduction," "Here There Be Tygers," "The Monkey," "The Jaunt," "The Raft," "Nona," "Survivor Type," and "Gramma."

Is that the one you are after or are you hunting a full contents proof?

[biomieg]

I should have specified that I am indeed looking for the partial proof. Like you, I have never heard of or seen a UK full proof of Skeleton Crew.

If anyone wants to sell their s/l salems lot....let me know. I figure some people may need to sell some stuff in regards to getting ready for the carrie stampede.

Sell a 'Salem's Lot S/L to pay for a "Carrie 40th anniversary"? Say it ain't so!!!! No offense, but that would seem crazy to me. JMHO Unless you happen to have two.

Bag of Bones letter from Holographic ARC:

[carlosdetweiller]

If viewed separately from the letter I wonder how many of us would think that signature was legit? I don't think I would. Worrisome.

Agreed. I never chime in because I am not even close to being an expert, but sometimes they calls of fake on here seemed ok to me. That's why I'm pretty much sticking to S/L's or flat signed from reputable people like Dave at Betts.

I don't think it is legit.

Probably some lackey at Hodder signed it.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I agree with Tippy.

I third the opinion.

I was referring to the version of CARRIE that was recently announced by PS that will lettered and signed by king that everyone is expecting to be costly. I hope that it is clear. ANyway, for whatever reason one may have, if you need to sell your s/l salem's lot, please take me into consideration. I even have a extra s/l IT or s/l Doc Sleep that along with some cash...if anyone is needing such.

I dont remember reading anything about that lettered, and even less that it will be signed. Did I miss something?

The regular slipcased edition is going to follow the same standard and format we used for Christine and Pet Sematary. For the text paper, we’re working on using 120gsm Munken Lynx on both editions. And as soon as we’ve completed the various tests, the signing sheets will go to print next week and should be sent out to the various perps for completion week commencing 19 May (by which time production of the slipcased edition and the slipcases themselves should be well underway—probably early next week). As to when copies of the book will actually start going out, well, that depends on how fast Messrs. Chadbourne, Lovegrove and Newman complete their signing chores (the author’s signature in the slipcased edition is a facsimile).

The deluxe edition has a couple more component parts.

Artist Glenn Chadbourne is hard at it working his way through 26 one-off super-limited pieces of artwork (‘super limited’ as in “one of one”, sports fans!) that will be included in the traycase as a separate item. But in addition to this, there will be a separate 300 gsm artstock catalogue featuring prints of all 26 pieces. The gallery will be limp sewn bound and will be placed into the tray case with the other items.

The actual book will measure 254 x 175mm / 10" x 7" (trimmed page size) with colour leaves printed on 130gsm gloss/silk (tbc). Where plates fall, blank pages will be left for colour leaves to be tipped onto them. These colour leaves will be trimmed to fit within the page (e.g. 224 x 145mm) leaving a white border all round. The book will be section sewn and printed in 4 colour throughout. Nicky is ironing out final choices for head- and tail-bands, ribbon markers, and material options for boards and traycase. The 26 deluxe edition copies are going to be hand prepared by Blissets (www.blissetts.com) in tandem with TJ, our regular printers (and while we’re mentioning them, hearty congratulations to Neil on the birth of Athena just a few days ago. We’re expecting her to take her position on the production line like the rest of us!)

Of course, the signing sheet of each copy of the deluxe edition will be lettered (as in A—Z, kids!) and that letter will be carried forward onto the gallery catalogue, the special original artwork envelope, the book exterior and the actual traycase.

So far, so good.

So, when will it be ready? I reckon it should be June—Nicky and I are keen to have the book as a birthday present to the both of us (Nicky is 3 July and I’m 4th) but we’ll have to see. Oh, there’s one more thing: Stephen has agreed to sign the sheets for the lettered edition but those sheets are going to be included in the actual book design. So instead of receiving 26 single pages, Stephen, Glenn, James and Kim will receive the eight-page sections, giving us the benefit of not having to tip in the sheets later. We’ll be doing this on all future deluxe lettered editions and we’re already well into plans for Thinner, which will feature cover and interior artwork from Edward Miller and Les Edwards plus (in the deluxe traycased edition) remarques from Les.

I’d like for us to be in a position to put up the order page in the next 10-14 days and certainly before the end of the month at which time, with all tests completed and signatures underway, we’ll be able to confirm all publishing details. We’ll be announcing the date and time of the page being uploaded after which it’ll be every man and woman for themselves. The page will feature an automatic reverse counter and copies will be allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis and limited to one per customer.

I tells you, we’re all of us super-excited about this!

Do all the holographic ARCs of Bag of Bones include the letter?

I disagree with the 200-copy limitation. They seem more common than that.

Did CD produce a slipcase for Duma Key, and if so, does anyone have a spare?

Willing to pay cash, or make a trade....

To trade, I have:

CD slipcase for the GE of IT
Misery Promo Notepad
Doctor Sleep Promo Sleep Mask
Vincent Chong Sketch Book
UK Cell Promo Booklet

Email me

[Aronstg]

Tippy,

I'm not sure if Cd did but Overlook did for sure. I think you can get them on ebay for $10.

[tippy4]

Thanks....I have seen The Overlook slipcases...eh...they're ok....really like what I have in regards to the CD Wind Through The Keyhole, Doctor Sleep, and Full Dark No Stars slipcases.

[stroppygoblin]

Yes, CD made one. Much nicer than the Overlook one IMHO.
