Today, I received a very nice fine copy of the last remaining US variant of EOTD I needed. Many thanks to Joe (Joe315) for offering it to me.
Stephen King - The Eyes Of The Dragon - US 1st/1st HB 'Haddon Craftsmen' Printing Variant.
http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/fenpad/IMG_4369_zpslkpsiixj.jpg (http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/fenpad/media/IMG_4369_zpslkpsiixj.jpg.html)http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/fenpad/IMG_4370_zps8ztwooiw.jpg (http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/fenpad/media/IMG_4370_zps8ztwooiw.jpg.html)
All three variants together. I have been very lucky to find fine copies of all three variants of a notoriously difficult book to find with an undamaged dust jacket.

Congrats! Could you explain the differences my man? Hard to see in your pics....

Thanks Kris, There were three different printers for the first US edition of EOTD. So the only difference in the whole book is on the copyright page (see photos below) where it lists the printers. Externally they are identical, apart from, it may be my imagination but the 'Haddon Craftmen's' variant (to the right) is slightly smaller than the two printed by Arcata Graphics.

Congratulation Jon on the new proof. I know the general consensus is that the art used on the proof is preferred over the final cover, but I've always had a different opinion. I do agree that the proof version is nicer, but I actually like the final cover. Maybe something about the simplicity or starkness (if that's the right word) of it. That duotone sort of look. I may be very much in the minority of people who like that cover.

Actually, my proof collection is pretty modest. I have most of the scarcer/early US ones but I 'lost' some of the scarcer UK proofs during one of my selling frenzies a couple of years ago. Right now I have 27 US proofs (starting with The Dead Zone up to and including Insomnia, which are basically all the regular trade edition proofs from 1979 to 1994, plus one of the Dolan's Cadillac ones) and only 7 UK proofs. These are also from the 1980's and early 1990's.

I know it never ends! Most of the last UK proofs (10 or so) have been numbered. I think the number is allocated to a certain recipient.

Hodder has been doing this for a while, now. Lisey's Story was the first that I remember. Duma Key, Under the Dome, Full Dark No Stars, two versions of 11.22.63, and Doctor Sleep were the others. No UK proof of Mr. Mercedes was done.

And other TDT members as well, I believe. I had a snipe bid in place, which I was planning to remove because I had a lead on another copy (in lesser condition and therefore cheaper - I'm not too picky when it comes to proofs), but apparently I forgot to do so. I think I had my bid set at £80. I won't be getting the other copy either so I'll just have to wait for my turn.

Couple of small additions today. First up is a variant of the US Rose Madder, it is a printer variant by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as opposed to my other copy by Quebecor Printing Fairfield.

Nice Jon. I have that Wolves promo and it's one of my favorites. Congratulations.
Thanks Guys.
Also received today, with the above promo items as a package, this promo item or is it a sampler proof?

I call it just that--a sampler proof. On my spreadsheet, however, I list it as a partial proof.

Thanks John. I've often wondered how to categorise this item. I have stored it with my proofs.

Congratulations. I also wondered how to classify it, but in the end my opinion is that it's a promo item not a proof so I store it with my promo stuff. Just my opinion.

Thanks Paul. I think it is one of those crossover items. It does not say it's a proof anywhere on the book, but does say promotional item.

Nice Cujo Jon! I've been looking at these recently too as although mine has a fine cover, there is a small stain to the top of the page block. I have it under 'low priority upgrades' but cant help looking at *every* Cujo on eBay...><

Thanks Simon. I would grade this copy as very good so I would eventually try and upgrade again (there's some creasing and a pronounced spine lean but the DJs complete!). It would be, as yours, a low priority.
