Yes, that's what it says Bob.
And the impression I get from their listing is that they (or someone else) did indeed get 100 copies and then had them rebound.
I wouldn't trust anything flatsigned.com has for sale.

They have listed this rebound book before on eBay at a much higher price. They also have done a lettered (or some fancier) edition. I think you can find it on ABE for a ridiculous price. The signature pictured in the eBay listing appears legit but that does not mean that that is the signature you would receive should you be the "winning" bidder. I would avoid both of these books like the plague.
Thanks for the tips guys.
He/She's gonna make money on this. I don't know (care) if the sig is real, but every since I found a true "First Edition" for $2, I've been watching this title.
Non-SK!!! Be warned!

Just found this on Ebay. Seems too cheap to be true also,and I not a expert, but the signature looks strange.

If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
The inscription/signature is legit. I'll bet it sells for quite a bit more than the current bid. Keep in mind that it is not a first edition.
I'm with Bob - it'll go for more than the current bid, mainly because people will overlook the fact that it's not a 1st. My bid reflects thatThe inscription/signature is legit. I'll bet it sells for quite a bit more than the current bid. Keep in mind that it is not a first edition.
It's interesting that this seller originally tried to palm this off as a 1st and only revised their auction when I questioned them over the 1st edition points.
This looks odd:

That certainly is different!

At one time Stu had a ton of movie props from THE LANGOLIERS. It was filmed, at least in part, at the Bangor International Airport. I've still got a mailer from Betts Bookstore from the days before the internet that listed the props he had for sale.
I think some of those plane tickets for the Langoliers were sent out to bookstores also. My roommate worked for Waldenbooks for 10 years and had gotten one as a promo item there.
I have one of the plane tickets, too, but I can't remember for the life of me where I got it!
This auction is being done by mulleins with all proceeds to Nerak.
No reserve, free shipping.

Stu's certificate refers to "Sugar Cellar Matches". This item is not on the listing.

I am SO pi**ed off to be outbid. I thought at $610 I was safe. The ONLY thing I've seen in the last year that I REALLY wanted.
Sorry you got edged out Matey.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
<SIGH> Thanks.Sorry you got edged out Matey.

The thing that REALLY annoys me is that the winner seems to be a dealer, not a collector. So expect to see it again one day...at twice the price at least. I wonder if it's one of Tim Miller's buyers.
I didn't know you're one of the bidders. Sorry you got outbid, Calla.
I am sorry for you too. I would have preferred it go into a Collector's hands. The letter and inscription, in light of King's past certainly make the book very valuable in my mind.
