I have them. The first four will be easier to scan as they are smaller. The next two I can figure out for you. I won't be able to do it until the weekend though.

I checked but I don't have my photocopies (and originals) anymore.

Brian - You are a star! Thanks in advance.
Also Ralph and Jim - any updates on the originals you have?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure.

Does anyone have a spare Fine copy of the Grant Trade edition of Wolves of the Calla ? I noticed mine has some spine fading and I'd like to upgrade it.
There are loads on ebay around the $10 price but I really don't want the hassle of shipping a book only to find it's not perfect.
PM me with a price if you have one spare, shipping will be to a US address.

I'm looking for a fine to near fine first of Pet Sematary. If anyone has one they are willing to spare, please pm me. Thanks!

The elusive "Eye of the Dragon" dust jacket. I'm looking for one of those as well. Also, a "Dead Zone" too. Seems to be hard to find both jackets in VF condition these days.

Really? Must be more in demand than I thought!

Almost all of the value of these 2 books is in the DJ. If this is for your recently acquired signed copy Kris, you would be better of just finding a whole book and swap the jacket.

There is one small mark I am not happy with Simon. What does one go for?

$15 - $40 on eBay. They come up all the time. Just be patient, check daily and eventually a really nice one will emerge.

Generally speaking, 80% of a books value is in the DJ.

I'd say it varies by book (Gunslinger 1st I'd say 20-30%) but later, more obtainable books then I'd agree 80%Not my number it's an accepted value by well known collectors. I believe, George Beahm, Bev Vincent and a host of others would back me up.You would say that high? I would go 50%....

This has been sorted. The generosity of members on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Thanks to all that responded

Any update on this Jim?I believe I have a few sets. I need to find where they are stored to confirm how many of the first ones are duplicate.
Brian, not putting pressure on you, but I'd still like to have the scanned copies even though I have a couple of members sorting out some originals. - just a gentle reminder is allI have them. The first four will be easier to scan as they are smaller. The next two I can figure out for you. I won't be able to do it until the weekend though.

Simon, there may be the odd exception that proves the rule, but I seem to recall this early on when I began collecting and remembered it because it shocked me as well. However, by all means, do not take my word for it. You're much faster and better at research than I am. Take a few moments and look it up. I was blown away when I read it in a "How to" guide. Swear it was by, George Beahm.I'd say it varies by book (Gunslinger 1st I'd say 20-30%) but later, more obtainable books then I'd agree 80%Not my number it's an accepted value by well known collectors.

You can't assign a blanket percentage to collectible (King books), but in every case where a book has a DJ, the condition of, or lack of a DJ significantly affects the value. Anywhere from 30%-90%.
Just doing a bump on this one to see if anything is out there:
I have an extra copy of the 1st US Trade of DOCTOR SLEEP that was signed in Toronto and an extra of REVIVAL from DC. Shelf space is limited, so I'd will be willing to talk trades for something on my want list.
Looking for signed (prefer inscribed) 1st/1st US of any of these titles:
Hearts in Atlantis
TGWLTG
Gerald’s Game
Rose Madder
Dreamcatcher
Insomnia
From a Buick 8
Everything’s Eventual
Duma Key
PM if you would like to discuss.
Thanks!
