King Books/Items Wanted

**billarm1** · 09-28-2015 02:05 PM

I am looking for DT "The Gunslinger" No. 238 of 500. I have the rest of the collection with that number (including WTTK and LSE).
Any help in finding this copy would be appreciated. I did see it listed on the "Who has DT Limited Editions page, but no indication of how to get in touch with the owner.

Sorry Ari. I just picked that one up myself. If I see another, I'll let you know.

I have one but I'm not sure if I want to sell (yet). Mrs. Todd's Shortcut is one of my favorite short stories.

Seth, are you looking to get more magazines? I have a bunch left and there may be a few that I can part with. Let me know what you are looking for.

Thanks, Michael(sp). I'm not looking to make a big foray into magazines, but I wouldn't mind a few cheap additions of a few select favorite stories over time: Gramma, The Monkey, Quitters Inc, The Raft, The Reapers Image, The Sun Dog, Survivor Type, Uncle Otto's Truck, The Word Processor, You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band. Those are the only ones on the Short Story list that have really stuck with me over the years.

I'm tapped for a little while though. I've already WAY overstepped the 2015 budget.

Looking for a mint Mr. Mercedes jacket. I don't need the book, just jacket.

Have a first edition jacket in Brodart?

Happy to report that I am done my Bachman Books collection. Added a beautiful copy of Rage (I can't believe how high the price is for these in fine condition) and for good measure bought the UK set of the paperback firsts from Betts. I bought The Running Man in the 80s, The Long Walk in the 90's and Roadwork earlier this year. So this has been 30 years to collect the 4! I only recently gave up on the fantasy of stumbling across Rage for $5 somewhere.

Am looking for a signet paperback first of Salem's Lot in near fine or better condition. Have been collecting the early paperback firsts for awhile now which is fun if only because not too expensive! Anyone this a bit harder to get - so open to help. Thanks!

**Kingfan24** · 09-30-2015 05:34 PM

Anyone have an extra "Chronicles of Harris burdick" proof?

Congratulations on completing the set! It's definitely an important part of any King collection. I also enjoy collecting the early paperbacks. Not that easy to find some of them, especially in nice condition. Good luck with finding the 'Salem's! I only have one copy otherwise I would have been able to help.

Times 2 for Mr. Mercedes AND Finders Keepers. Scribner's folding machines can be a little over-enthusiastic.

Looking for a good deal on a hb 1st Edition The Talisman in decent shape. Would rather not get a BCE if possible, but if it looks great I won't turn it down.

I have no idea how much it will be, but the one's I've seen in the $30 ~ $40 range look like they are all scuffed up and torn on the DJs.

If anyone has an extra, I will swap it out for my whatever edition copy I already have, plus money from me of course. The DJ is really crappy but the boards on the book actually creak, like it's never been opened!

It's the Random House edition....

**TCCBodhi** · 10-03-2015 01:01 PM

Let me keep a look out. I'm actually giving away a 1st edition book tonight to a young, beginning reader without the dustjacket, but the book itself is pretty worn from many rereads. If you can find a good BOOK, I can probably be talked into releasing my spare DJ which I would rate in Good to Very Good condition from memory (I last looked at it a few months ago). I don't recall any tears, and it's in a Brodart cover now, but might have scuffing from before it was in one. So find a good copy of the book with a bad DJ and I can get you to a presentable condition, much better than the DJ above anyway.

Looking for Whispers with Before the Play.

Thank you

**TCCBodhi** · 10-13-2015 06:54 PM

It's not King, but does anyone have a spare signed copy of Ready Player One still that they'd part with?

Thank you

There is a fine copy of Wastelands on eBay right now...

You would need to confirm with seller it has the 1st print indicators though.

His Drawing of the Three is a 5th printing. I hope he doesn't get frustrated with me asking him too many questions. Thanks Stroppy!

**Br!an** · 10-14-2015 04:22 AM

That seller has been around a while. I doubt that questions about his auctions bother him. If he doesn't want the questions then he should be more informative in his listings.
