It's really neat to see someone with a shared interest (King) with a completely different collection. I'm not interested in collecting proofs myself, but it's cool to see what else is out there. Thanks for posting these!

John also has most if not all of the 'other' King stuff (S/Ls, trades etc.) but alas... no thread for those books yet!

I don't have any idea why the put the title of the book on the back of this one!
UK Bag of Bones holographic proof slipcase:
UK Bag of Bones green proof:
There is also a gray proof that I don't yet own.

Sorry, I meant no disrespect. It just isn't everyday you may have something a "Great Collector" doesn't.
Thanks for allowing me to interject!!!!!
Oh and, I'm most likely wrong, considering the source, but I had my moment.
Jhanic? You have one of the MOST amazing Collections!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless!!!!!

Check out my post #21. It's there. And there are still a number of proofs (though no fairly common ones) that I don't have.
And I don't take it as any type of disrespect! Thanks for the compliment!
John
Ahhh, see I knew I somehow missed it!!!!
Truly great collection, John

Very nice, John! It's a lovely book.

Here's the "flip" side--that has Mick Garris' Introduction and Screenplay, Bernie Wrightson's Art Gallery, Photos from the Set and the Director's Notebook:
It's the same proof--just flip it over! (Envision the old Ace Double paperbacks.)

Very nice, John. I guess the rumors that this was gonna get published soon were true afterall. Can't wait to get mine!!! (Regular edition).Here's the "flip" side--that has Mick Garris' Introduction and Screenplay, Bernie Wrightson's Art Gallery, Photos from the Set and the Director's Notebook:

Question: How do you get these "Not for Sale" editions direct like this? I always have to buy em on the aftermarket. Do you have to register or something?

If only that would be true! No, it's a matter of either having the right connections or hunting and gathering on the secondary market.
I get all my proofs/ARCs on the secondary market. I only wish I had a "direct" line to the publishers! I DO have, however, a number of contacts, both here and in the UK, from whom I purchase them.
John
I'm still somewhat of a novice collector. I thought Lonely Road sent this to you direct, since it hasn't been published yet and is "Out to the Printer" according to CD.
So, if I may ask, you got this through like Ebay or something similar? Or was it a guy, who knows a guy kinda thing. I ask cause you have such an extensive collection of proofs.
Any tips you'd be willing to share would be appreciated. PM me if you prefer.

Thats great John, i guess you won't be reading that copy
Wrong! I ALWAYS read the proofs of the new books as I get them--very carefully, but I DO read them. I'll be starting this one tomorrow some time. (That's one of the reason I collect proofs--I get to read the stories before most other people!)
John
Cool im glad you read them, you will have to let me know how good it is
Yes, you are, John!^^ You "Da Proof Man"!!!!!!!!
I had hoped to be the first one to post a picture of one but I won't have mine for several more days.
Congratulations!
You have an amazing collection Carlos, but IMHO John appears to be the "Proof-en Collector"!!!Yes, you are, John!^^ You "Da Proof Man"!!!!!!!!
