"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Anyone have a first edition The Stand jacket for sale?

I don't suppose there is a member in Europe who has access to purchase this copy and send it to me? If I did the money conversion correctly, it's around 20 US dollars. Thanks.

Hi guys, I’m looking for a slipcase for CD’s gift ed. of ‘Salem’s Lot. My cat bit into my copy. The book is still perfect but I’m looking for a new slipcase.
I really couldn't believe these got so expensive but I saw a couple went for that amount. At this moment I won't pay that since I have other items I desire more, but who knows...

Still looking for a nice 1st/1st copy of The Shining.
Looking for a fine UK Desperation/Regualtors set. I swear this book is the death of me. I have had two come to my door to return cause of condition. I have had at least 6 I have worked on but for one reason or not... could not get to a deal. One chap even lost his copy after we came to a deal. It literally is my collecting nemesis. If anyone knows of a copy, let me know

It might be stating the obvious Kris, but if the ones you are getting at a lower price have issues and faults and the you cant negotiate a better deal on the fine ones, then maybe your perception of current price for this S/L is too low? It's your money and your collection and I'm not here to discourage your search, but the fact is 'Perfect' books will always incur a premium i'm afraid.

Well put... for some reason this one I can not justify spending 650-700 pounds and frankly will not. Again, I’m probably wrong and the hunt will go on but I feel this is a $450-500 US book. Time will tell if one comes my way for that.

It can be a tricky one to obtain. I purchased a set from a collector over here which were an excellent set, they cost me 650 GBP.
Now here is the thing, I purchased an equally fine set from Very Fine Books at 550 USD. The parameters on pricing of this set are wide.
However they are out there.
As Jerome stated "if it was easy, it would not be as fun".
You will find a set I am sure.
Everything comes to he who waits.
I may have to just go for it.. but part of the fun is trying to get that copy for the price I am hopeful for. How long will I hold out my good friend? haha That shall remain to be seen. One day I will just 'pull the trigger' I am sure. $550USD for a fine copy... I would POUNCE on that. haha
