What Bev said. I don't think there was a s/l of the midnight graffiti. There was a s/l print of rainy season though. 100 signed 50 unsigned.

To add to this....I'm thinking the 100 signed is bluish green and the unsigned gray scale. I think?????

Mulleins

Yup!

I'm pretty sure there was a signed edition of the magazine. I'm wondering the value of this edition, not the print. And is there anyway to tell the differences from the cover only?

No, there is no signed edition of the magazine. Never seen or heard of one.

Becca, are you thinking of the signed Mag of Fantasy & SF? It's from the same era. I don't know how many signed copies were issued - I do believe it was printed on different paper stock.

**becca69** · 03-07-2017 01:13 PM

Michael, I know about that one but I thought I saw something about a signed version of MG??

Could you have seen someone with a signed copy? and made an assumption? it is not in the catalog.

**biomieg** · 03-07-2017 01:16 PM

Haven't seen or heard of one....

**zelig** · 03-07-2017 01:28 PM

Also haven't heard of one.

**needfulthings** · 03-07-2017 01:28 PM

There is NO S/L MIDNIGHT GRAFFITT!

I found it. It's a listing that says it's a signed limited of 1500 copies. Must be a mistake copied from another listing.

I have a signed one of this ...

Clues to help identify original S K scripts.
1 Agency covers

2 Dialogue high lighting

3 Script changes

Spoiler:

4 Different color revised pages also note clean hole punches (hard to match up holes on Xerox copies they will have black somewhere around the hole.)

Spoiler:

5 Added extras like original script brake down notes.

HOPE THIS HELPS! Most crew members & Studios (Before ebay) did not give a shit about scripts after the show was finished so most of them went right into the TRASH (Just like THE NEW LIEUTENANT'S RAP) But not all of them.

Anybody know how many of each card King signed for the 350 Blockade Billy S/Ls?

Note the catalog. Two different cards with Kings pic and sig.

The one with him in front of bleachers/seats seems to be much more popular.

I don't think anyone knows. Maybe Brian Freeman can answer?

Here is my post written a few years ago on this topic!

It also includes photos of both versions of the card for reference!

The COTWW jacket is prone to fade...yes. Is it from exposure to light or direct sunlight? Does the mylar protect it from fading in light and sunlight? Or should one just keep it hid in a slipcase to stop fading? Im trying to display a non fadded copy. My books are kept in a case with glass doors, just wondering if all parts of the jacket should be kept from any light? Thoughts?

Thanks Brian

**needfulthings** · 03-13-2017 07:01 PM

This book and every book should NOT be displayed in a room were they are hit by direct sunlight or fluorescent light & while in a slipcase the spine is still exposed to damage & mylar will not stop fading.

Agreed. I would also recommend to store this spine side in even with the slipcase. I had a perfect copy in a frosted glass bookcase inside a room that the shades are never drawn up and it faded...sigh.

Now I store all my collectible books in a solid walnut door bookcase.

Best post today. hahaha

Sorry, just noticed this. Nice pun!
One is a genuine lettered and the other is a PC. I can't remember why I wound up with these, but the same thing happened with FDNS.

Good advice Juliana, I will get slipcases for my COTWWs and hide the spines. Kinda sucks trying to display your books only to worry about spine fade. My early Doubledays and Gunslingers should probably be protected as well..

I'm going to stay with the glass doors, the room receives no direct sunlight.

**east-tennessee** · 03-14-2017 06:09 PM

Besides the COTWW, what jackets are easily faded? Gunslinger, Salem's, The Shinning.
Any other suggestions ??

**east-tennessee** · 03-14-2017 06:22 PM

EOTD is another for sure
