AUCTION LINK (http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/201849936354?)

For your consideration is an Advance Uncorrected Proof of Stephen King & Richard Chizmar's new book "Gwendy's Button Box". This is an unread copy! Thanks to Cemetery Dance for this cool donation.

[Ben Staad]

Nice. Good luck to all the bidders.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Very cool of CD to donate that. :thumbsup:

A lot of people will be bidding on it. Guaranteed!!! :drool::clap:

[ICry4Oy]

SWEET! Very awesome of Cemetery Dance!!!!!!

[Randall Flagg]

It's the first to market (auction), and it's for a fundraiser, so I hope it will do well. Already over $300 on a Saturday debut!

[east-tennessee]

Don't Collect Proofs. But hope it does well guys.....:)

[dnemec]

Wow...over $500 already. Too rich for my blood, but happy the HF will get a lot out of this one!

[Aronstg]

This is a great HF item! Nice to see the great early bidding. I hope this keeps climbing.

Killer auction, and it seems to have garnered some attention already!

I figured I'd mention this now for future reference:

For those who snag a Gwendy's Button Box ARC from a reviewer or wherever, you'll want to note that there are approximately 15 to 20 little changes between that version of the text and the final file I sent to the printer for the 1st Edition, 1st Printing hardcover. Mostly some word choice changes by the authors, but also corrections of a few anachronisms. (Meaning the anachronisms that DO remain are there because the authors wanted them there!).

Brian, would you happen to have the population report for this proof?

[Randall Flagg]

Very hard to not give into temptation and read the book, but I listed it as new and unread.

[becca69]

Great auction.

Have to say I miss the funding thermometer (or whatever it is) and the fundraising hype. Hope it's doing well (I still need to contribute).

I believe 150 copies were printed for reviewers.

There is also a "VIP Review Copy" that I'm hoping to donate as well. It's the same text, but I got to try something with the cover that I've wanted to do FOREVER. There are only 20 of those, I believe. It's still on the way for the printer, but I'll post a photo in the Cemetery Dance thread when it arrives. :)

Man, if people find out I can be bribed with photos of GSPs reading books, I'm in a lot of trouble!

Reminds me of "The Haven Fund Wonder Dog"!!!! Who, by the way is getting older. He is now nine and a half, but still dogging treats for the fundraiser!!! lol

That definitely sounds intriguing!
Hope to see pictures as I wont be one of those lucky VIPs

[wolfehr]

I don't normally collect proofs, but am trying to get all the versions of this one to commemorate it being my first King S/L purchased direct from the publisher. I guess there's one more I need to try and save up for! :)

Also VERY interested to see what alternative cover you came up with!

[Theli]

I look forward to seeing this alternate ARC. Any plans for an LRB ARC or is that VIP edition?

No plans for an ARC from LRB.

$610!

Thanks to CD and another person who helped get this one first on ebay.

Stay tuned. We might be first for the 1/20. Don't count on more than a couple ever being within reach...

[wolfehr]

:excited:

Now to start saving up in case one of the 1/20's is donated :)
