It looks like fancy endpaper to me.

I'm surprised that the image hasn't been deciphered.

OK. If you think you know, PM me. There are a couple of clues out there that a savvy person would notice.
can't and never will be able to see stereograms - downside of being a pirate ;D
"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

Here are some pics of the book. We chose 19 stories from 1st edition trade hardback King books including Skeleton Crew, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Hearts in Atlantis, Everything's Eventual, Just After Sunset, and Bazaar of Bad Dreams. We did not use any stories from Night Shift as the page block is smaller than all of the other books.
The title page and copyright page from each book we used are bound near the back of the book. At the end of the book is an acknowledgement page. There is no Table of Contents. This was done purposefully to encourage the book owner to be somewhat surprised as to what stories are included.
There are 8 pieces of original art, and one print bound in the book. The print is of a piece from Glenn Cadbourne that was too large to bind in the book. The winner of the auction will receive the original piece as a bonus.
stroppygoblin created the 3-D images used for the endpapers and liner of the slipcase as well as the "19" title pages used for each story.
The book itself is bound in custom dyed Italian Goatskin, and has a wonderful texture to it.
Here are 21 pics I took recently. It's easier for page loading to just put the links in. You can right click on the URL and open the image in a separate tab if you like.
