JOYLAND ARC

WHY ARE THERE NONE FOR SALE?

pm ME PLEASE.

[George at C-Springs]

Wanted - Joyland #186, have #385 ... work a trade? Let me know!

[Jimimck]

Looking for a reasonabley priced (ok lets be honest - cheap) copy of October 1978 edition Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine. The one with The Gunslinger in it.
Doesn't have to be in fine condition, but would prefer no address labels. Just need this last one to complete my set.

Ta.

Boys and girls, still looking for a copy if anyon has a spare...

Might pay a bit more than cheap if required ;-)

[biomieg]

Do any of my UK friends have a regular Titan Joyland hardback for sale at (more or less) cover price? I sold my S/L because another irresistible collectible came along but I'd still like to have a nice hardcover of this lovely book. Yes, I should have ordered both.

FOUND ONE!

[bdwyer19]

A few months ago, Heritage Auctions had an inscribed copy of Misery up for auction. It was inscribed to Brian. I was planning on getting it, but had issues with the Heritage site at the last minute. I was pretty upset too, as it went for under $200. Did anyone here happen to buy it? Do you know the person who did? I would be very interested in making a deal if you would be willing to sell. Thanks!

[Kingfan24]

Looking for an unsigned Joyland hardcover from Titan at or around issue price. Didn't order both in time.

[biomieg]

I'll trade one for your Joyland ARC.

[Pasiuk57]

Not if I buy it first!

I have short term memory loss and am too lazy to look it up. What was the issue price on this edition? I didn't order it either.

[cit74]

wasn't it $35?

[TwistedNadine]

Think it was 40 plus 4 shipping from the US site

[cit74]

Think it was 40 plus 4 shipping from the US site

wow $35 for a king sig - still hard to believe

[divemaster]

That's for the unsigned version.

The S/L was $75 + shipping

That's for the unsigned hardcover. It was $75 for the S/L. Still a great deal!

[The Library Policeman]

I think Chad means the extra $35 got you the King sig.

[Patrick]

I'd like to have it, but I'm not losing sleep over it either. If anyone wants to sell an unsigned hardcover for $50 plus shipping, I'll be pleased to buy it.

[TwistedNadine]

I guess you and I speak "Chad" 'cause I understood what he meant lol

You've got a deal as long as you let me buy the next round.

[CyberGhostface]

I'm going to order the second volume of Secretary of Dreams so I'm on the lookout for a slipcased gift edition of the first one. I may not be able to purchase it right away but if possible I'd like to "reserve" it in advance.

[tippy4]

I have one that I was about to put on ebay......

[CyberGhostface]

I'll admit upfront that I wouldn't be able to pay a whole lot for it so you'd probably get more for it on eBay.

[Dan]

What is the going rate for Secretary of Dreams 1? I have looked for a while, but they were all priced so high.

[Kingfan24]

If you look on ebay most of them are going in the higher end ranges from about 100-200. Some even get above 200 when bundled with the second SOD.

[biomieg]

Do people actually pay that much for SOD gift editions or are these asking prices?

[Kingfan24]

No those are actually sold listings.

[tippy4]

If you look on ebay most of them are going in the higher end ranges from about 100-200. Some even get above 200 when bundled with the second SOD.

Check ebay...there are no "stock" copies up for auction.

A check of SOLD listing shows that undamaged copies sell from $141 to $375 (although $375 is a freak).

I am asking $175 for mine.

[CyberGhostface]

I've given it some thought and I've decided to pass on getting either SoD. Part of me wants it but part of me feels like I just want it to for the sake of getting it, and on top of the GEs for The Shining, Dr. Sleep and NOS4A2 I ordered I'm already going to be paying anywhere from $50 to over $80 for a NOS4A2 slipcase and then there's "The Dark Man" which I'm still considering...

It's been a pocket-emptying year for us King fans, hasn't it?! :biggrin:

Yep. And when I got the IT Gift Edition I promised to myself that I would only get one for The Shining if the ever made it. You can see how well that turned out. :pullhair:

Did they do a Gift Edition of NOS4A2? I though it was a Signed/Ltd and a Lettered.

[CyberGhostface]

You're right, I guess I'm just used to referring to the cheapest edition available as the "Gift Edition". :doh:

Yea, I had to go through my email folder to see what I had ordered and what I hadn't. I actually was looking at Shiver VI just a week or so ago and thought: "I'll wait for a sale." Bingo! So I got that and Bev's new book which I hadn't ordered yet either.

Are those still available for order? TBH I would like them but I feel as if they are basically an over-hyped hardcover. They aren't really first editions, so it feels like a book club.

[WeDealInLead]

Neither are The Shining S/L and gift, Joyland and The Dark Man. Most limited editions aren't true first editions and I don't see a problem with that.

What Merlin said rings true for me - the gift editions and s/l are more specialty "collectible" books.

Yeah, that's how I view them. Same with "PC" copies. I know that is not a popular thought, but I still think they are somehow "Special" IMHO

[sgc1999]

looking for anyone who might want to sell there Joe Hill Locke and Key lettered edition? I can also trade a signed numbered set plus cash OR just cash. Looking for any of his lettered books.
thanks all:)

[herbertwest]

2 great items are currently on their way to my work
Hope they arrive before i go on hols next thursday!

[barlow]

The First edition Gunsllinger dustjacket had lettering that was lighter in shade. More of a true yellow. The 2nd edtion was almost burnt orange.
In addition, the first book had brown fabric boards, the 2nd had black.
The first lists the price of $20 for the trade, and $60 for the limited on the inside front dj. The first advertises Conan on the back inside dj. The 2nd has a color picture added to the Conan advertisement.
That's a few of the differences.
First on right in these pictures:

I have seen the binding of the first edition described in various places in the past as maroon. When I think of maroon I think of a dark red. I always thought the binding on the gunslinger as light brown.

I suppose that is why the Catalog entry says "brown". Display devices may show a different "shade", but the images are direct scans of my books.

Yep I really appreciate that the description here on the site says brown. I am away from home right now, so I can't double check but I think the Stephen king companion say's maroon, and I know the description on The Collector says maroon. I just don't know how this book could ever be described as maroon.

[mcdonaldj]

Afraid I've got to respectfully disagree - it is reddish brown otherwise known as maroon IMHO. It is perhaps not a deep red shading of brown, but is definitely not just brown either.

[subie09lega]

According to the highly respected Wikipedia, there's a liberal interpretation for what maroon is. I always thought of maroon as the Crayola crayon color of maroon but they're showing three different shades that are quite different.

I am looking for Dark tower books with Remarque. Im willing to trade signed King books and or cash for them. Top of the list would be a really nice DT 7 and a LSOE if there is such a thing. I have never heard of a remarqued TWOC but I would pay handsomely for that one. also looking for a SOS remarqued although I hear they are very anticlimactic. Thanks for any help finding some.

Have seen a few auctions for Gunslingers in far from true collectible condition. Making me think perhaps I should keep an eye out for something like that, as an entry level acquisition.

Anyone have multiple Gunslingers, where some are less than NF and looking to offload for a discounted price?

The snag is when somoene writes in the book.
A new DJ can be had for a price, but erasing an ink inscription is difficult if not impossible.

I may be able to help you out here James - I have two copies in the collection, and I'll be keeping the one that's written in (signed by SK) and wouldn't be adverse to cutting a deal with you for the other.

Drop me a PM if you're interested mate :D

[SierraKiloCollector]

Hello everyone -

It has been a while so I need to throw out the net once again....

I am looking for The Gunslinger #253 and LSOE #253 to complete my S/L set. I have a LSOE #484 (F/F) I will trade straight up for the #253 and will pay (or trade!) for the Gunslinger #253.

Thanks!
Be well.

[The Pie]

I currently have 3 first edition Gunslinger books on consignment at Betts Books. All of them have the aftermarket slip cases from Tomas at SK Collector.

The quality of each one varies slightly and the prices reflects that. The prices are $675, $599, and $575. When looking at the Betts site, they are listed as AN-1, AN-2, and AN-3.

Happy shopping! The first edition still continues to be an infrequent and sometimes elusive purchase. I'm a bit surprised these haven't sold yet but Betts is the best site for SK rarities and David/Wiz did do a thorough review of the condition of each book so believe the prices are solid.

[jhanic]

Welcome to the boards, Pie. I think we'd all love to see some pictures of your collection.

Yes John, I should! A significant portion of my collection came from Betts through the years and I still try to buy there first when I have a gap to fill. Stu and David have been fantastic to work with.

No problem at all - and, just in case shipping charges may be a perceived issue, they're not as bad as one may think (albeit the shipping time quoted is between 3 - 20 working days) - go figure :unsure:

In the meantime, best of luck (and to the others involved) with the stevohump/heffalump drama, which I've been following with interest :o

Hi team. I'm close to having the funds available for a S/L Cujo (should be in a position to send some funds to someone by the end of the week), and so just putting some feelers out there if anyone has one for sale? I'm keeping an eye on EBay too, but maybe a better deal through here? I'm happy to pay PP gift to the right seller.

Thanks

Does it have to be the gift edition? There is an ebay auction for a Buick 8 S/L at $108 right now. I doubt it will stay at that price, but it could be a good deal.

Hi team. I'm close to having the funds available for a S/L Cujo (should be in a position to send some funds to someone by the end of the week), and so just putting some feelers out there if anyone has one for sale? I'm keeping an eye on EBay too, but maybe a better deal through here? I'm happy to pay PP gift to the right seller.

Thanks

James,

Not sure if you would want a less than perfect copy, but Camelot Books has this on their website:

Stephen King

Cujo Signed Limited corner of slipcased damaged $499.95

[Jimimck]

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. I searched the site but couldn't see the listing.

To be honest, while I am normally one that is happy to consider a damaged item if the price is right, for this particlar purchase, I'm going to hold off for a fine copy and will be happy to pay a reasonable market price for that.

I did see they had a Pet Semetery anniversary edition available however, so might consider that as I missed out on those when they were available from the publisher...

Thanks for the info!

Cheers
James

[ELazansky]

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. I searched the site but couldn't see the listing.

No problem. Just wanted to throw it out there. It is listed under the Mid-Week Specials #1 at the bottom of their home page.

[darkdiscoveries]

I've got some extra copies of the Slipcased HC of THE DARK MAN (w/Bookmark) on the way now up for grabs. Looking to see if anybody has any extra copies of the non-slipcased Trade HC of DM as it has a different dust jacket I guess. Maybe a swap for two of the non-slipcased for a slipcased one? Or something along those lines possibly.

I also have a lot of non-King signed/limited books either here or coming that I can offer up for trade (and send a list on).

Now why would you want to go and do that? If I may ask.

I would guess because there's about 5 copies of a signed trade Joyland out there. :lol:

Ahh, I see. It hadn't dawned on me!!! :doh:

The "Trade" edition is a HC? The S/L is still a very handsome production IMHO

[Jimimck]

No the trade edition is only in Paperback. Only the limited editions (unsigned, numbered and lettereds) are hardbacks...

[Merlin1958]

That is what I thought. See, I have this thing about PB's..... But, to each his own!!!

[Jimimck]

I don't normally collect paperbacks either, but I do when the first edition only comes in that format (Colorado kid, storm of the century, Joyland etc)

[Merlin1958]

Well, I have one in an archival bag of course. Like I said I just have this thing about PB's and it's a long story. Just commented off the top of my head.


P.S. I have HC's of all of the above mentioned titles!!! LOL LOL LOL

Kingfan, did you see RF's post in the interesting auctions thread?




http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/icons/icon1.png




A screwed up DJ can be replaced, but a stain on the book board itself sure screws up the book, thus the starting price (still too much) of $250:

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King (1st Edition, 1982, Grant) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Dark-Tower-The-Gunslinger-by-Stephen-King-1st-Edition-1982-Grant-/290954672051?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item43be3ff7b3)

Does anyone have any idea what the IT 25th Anniversary art portfolio might go for? I don't remember CD's retail price and haven't seen any for sale recently.

It was $85 plus they charged $15 for shipping.

[Robert Fulman]

That almost makes me sick at how reasonable that is. :(You would probably be sicker to realize that they didn't sell out immediately, and they lasted through more than one of CD's 50% off coupon codes.

[Ricky]

You're trying to make me throw up, right?

[TwistedNadine]

Does anyone have any idea what the IT 25th Anniversary art portfolio might go for? I don't remember CD's retail price and haven't seen any for sale recently.

Ive seen a few on ebay they seem to be going for about 150-175 which seems really pricey to me.

[Dan]

I bought mine for about $100 shipped straight from CD. It seemed like a lot of money for something that wasn't a book, but I've changed my mind. Considering there are so many prints inside, the amazing quality of the portfolio, and the artist signature sheets, I'm amazed it wasn't higher. I've seen several times people parting out the portfolio and selling individual prints for $15 - $30 each. Also, compared to say the Wastelands Portfolio from Grant, there is no comparison. The wasteland portfolio is nice, but it's wrapped in a piece of cardboard with a photocopied piece of paper glued to it. I might be remembering incorrectly, but I believe that Brian Freeman said they either lost money or came in very close with these because the production costs were higher than anticipated, but they had already been per-sold and didn't want to change the price. The only downside, in my opinion, of the portfolio idea is that it's very difficult to display all the prints without continuous handling. I could buy multiple frames, but it's not feasible due to cost and space. I still think its a great purchase and highly recommend you find one.

I love my protfolio as well - now if only I could find a S/L It for a reasonable price.

[Dan]

I hear ya! I "should" just save my money and get one, but sure enough I find something else I "have" to have and become broke again.

[Jimimck]

When I decided to only have my three favourite King books in s/l format, IT was in that category. So of course I started kicking myself for not buying one at the $475 issue price.

I think $650 isn't too bad on the secondary market. Maybe in a few years ill be on the hunt for one too.

(Oh btw, I've kinda gone against my decision to only have my top three books in s/l format. I just can't bring myself to sell the few others I have lol)

[Kingfan24]

The S/L format I just cannot stay away from. They are such amazing productions with amazing artwork, and plus you get a king sig. as well haha.

[biomieg]

I'm (almost) the opposite. I hardly care about signed/limited editions. The stuff that gets my juices flowing (as Bob would say) is obscure items that don't look like much - old proofs from the 70s and 80s, college-era magazines and stuff like that. The S/Ls that I do like are the Philtrum Press editions (The Plant, EOTD, NLR, Six Stories) and quirky books like Dolan's Cadillac.

Agree 100%. Anyone with a credit card and an internet connection can get all the S/L's they can stand and/or afford. The early pre-Carrie publications and difficult periodical appearances are the real prizes.

Yeah, I think I said "all they can stand and/or afford." Certainly one should have the funds before purchasing. The point I was trying (probably unsuccessfully) to make was that buying S/L's on the internet is like fishing in a stocked lake where anyone can catch all the fish they want. Hunting down the rarer appearances takes more time and persistence and, often as not, can be priced cheaply if the seller doesn't realize what it is. Similar (maybe) to catching that elusive cutthroat trout on a hand tied fly in a remote stream all by yourself vs. paying a guide or fishing instructor to let you catch a bunch of large rainbow trout that were swimming in the hatchery last week. Which would make you happier? It all depends on the fisherman, I suppose.

Can one not undertake both guided and guideless expeditions (I know I've been known to on the odd occasion)? As to the plethora of S/L's out there ripe for the plucking (limitless funds and 4G internet connection nonwithstanding) is there not a certain personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment to be derived in the hunting down of a bargain price, a matching number or a copy in pristine condition? Personally speaking, I take equal satisfaction from this as I do in tracking down the more esoteric and unusual items associated with this shared collecting passion of ours (and, yes, the credit card and internet connection facilitate these forages too).

[Jimimck]

Good points Grant.

I'd also like to point out that while Cujo s/l can be had by "anyone with a credit card and an Internet connection" I'd place a safe bet that I'm going to appreciate my recent acquisition of one as much (if not more so) as anyone appreciates their Pre carrie publication...

[TwistedNadine]

I understood your point very well Bob. The Marshroots I acquired is one of the obscure items I had been searching for and sheer persistence and right place at the right time I not only found a copy but one at a fantastic price (and yes internet and email certainly helped). Same thing with the Ubris copies I have though the Marshroots was a far better deal. If I was as diligent with finding a copy of Spring 68 Ubris it would be in my collection by now but Ive slacked off considerably. Reversely Ive been buying SLs as they are released, keeping one and selling the others at a profit as a means to pay for the SL I keep. Ive found this to be a hell of a lot easier than searching out the obscure hard to find and a lot less time consuming but no where near as fulfilling or satisfying.

[WeDealInLead]

Look for an overpriced ticket on eBay from scalpers when it gets closer to the event. It might be tough to find one close to issue price; it's the only event on the Doctor Sleep tour that has a guaranteed one hour signing after the Q&A.

That might change and actually, I would be surprised if it didn't change.

Michaël, don't give up too easily. I have four Signet Firestarter first printings--two with the white cover, one with the black and one with a white cover that states "By the author of The Dead Zone and Cujo". The first three state "By the author of The Dead Zone". All have a full number line starting with "1". I've never seen another first that states "By the author of The Dead Zone and Cujo".

The copies I have are in G-VG shape.

I've seen/own that soft cover (have to check the shelf) but I didn't know it had any value... Is it especially rare in any sense? Did they do multiple printings with that cover? Or only one?

Just check the number line. According to my notes, there were a total of 50,000 copies of the first printings and all were packaged in a box with two other King paperbacks. I estimate there were 25,000 of each color, but I could be wrong in that. As I said, though, I've never seen another first printing with "By the author of The Dead Zone and Cujo". I truly don't know where that one came from. I got it off eBay.

Michaël, don't give up too easily. I have four Signet Firestarter first printings--two with the white cover, one with the black and one with a white cover that states "By the author of The Dead Zone and Cujo". The first three state "By the author of The Dead Zone". All have a full number line starting with "1". I've never seen another first that states "By the author of The Dead Zone and Cujo".

There are dozens of printings with this cover but being the obsessive-compulsive collector that I am, I'm looking for a first printing. Like John says, that one is instantly recognizable because it has the blurb 'from the author of the Dead Zone' (not mentioning any other titles), and it has a full number line of course.

It is not valuable, I simply like the design of the older PBs and I'm trying to get a set of the ones from the 1970s and 1980s (I already have great copies of every book before Firestarter). But for some reason, first printings are really hard to find.

[TwistedNadine]

it's the only event on the Doctor Sleep tour that has a guaranteed one hour signing after the Q&A.
That might change and actually, I would be surprised if it didn't change.

What makes you think the hour signing will change? Youre thinking they will change it to pre-signed books being distributed like the other events?

I agree with him...nothing about these events is set in stone.

My opinion....King will sign...it will be one book per person, no inscriptions, and he will stay more than an hour, but not more than two.

[WeDealInLead]

I called them shortly after I bought the tickets. The guy said (in short), it's Doctor Sleep + 1. I called the next day and talked to a different person and he said that there would be a one hour signing. I asked about the number of books King agreed to sign and the answer was "don't know."

I really, really, hope I'm wrong and they honour the announcement but I have this feeling that the PEN folk aren't 100% on what's really going to happen.

[Randall Flagg]

Everyone calling (as mentioned) just fucks things up. These venues and charities have in most cases never done something like this before. The only freaks repetitively calling are people like us. The calls actually help them figure out how to make sure collectors can't intelligently tip the odds in their favor for a signed book.
Stop fucking things up for everyone. Be surreptitious, but don't ruin the deal for everyone.

That is what I was trying to say! The more they think about it the more they can do to screw it up for us. LIke kingfan said, if everyone is getting a book unsigned as they come in and then they hand out 200 to live people on the way out. extra tickets were meaningless. :)

[Ari_Racing]

You can't blame people for calling and trying to figure out how the signing will be. If just by calling you fuck up the signing it's the organizer's blame, not the one who calls.

[tippy4]

Does not mater whose fault it is...the net result is it is screwing other people (potentially).

[Patrick]

As TN, and perhaps others, know, I have never been a proponent of calling hosting organizations for these events. Too much conflicting information, most of which is unreliable as the plans develop and change and most of their own people have no clue as to the plan anyway. Personally I try to maintain the goal of going to events with the low expectation of receiving the minimum value you paid for and with the expectation of enjoying yourself. Beyond that, as a signature hound, stay aware, think creatively, be respectful, and try not to piss off the staff unnecessarily.

[The Library Policeman]

The James Herbert signing I went to last year in Waterstones was a poorly organised shambles. The actual signing was a free for all with no staff organising a line to wait in. Everyone just gathered at the signing table in a crowd. Thankfully Mr. Herbert was very patient and courteous, staying to almost midnight and signing (with dedications) for everyone.

I was on the phone with my wife when Mr King walked into one bookstore I was canvasing and as I told her he headed toward the back she questioned, "Why didn't you follow him?". When I mentioned that he might be on his way to the bathroom she understood my thought of restraint. Instead I just waited (with book in hand) by the display of his books and was rewarded with a greeting and handshake (as well as some signatures). I never even thought to wonder if he had washed his hands at the time.

It was reported, but even Jerad Walters isn't certain, that there would be 50 pieces done by Whelan. Perhaps Whelan knows the true number, but I believe there were less than 50. 7 members here have 8 pieces. Perhaps more.
FWIW, I don't think I could ever sell the piece, but if I did it would take an offer I "can't refuse". Art is subjective, but the two pieces I have are my favorites of what I have seen.

50 is the highest number of these that might have been done. I too now believe less than 50 were done. I'm thinking in the 10-25 range at this point after talking to several people. Of course I haven't spoke to Whelan himself though.

Yes, I believe he does! David (wizardsrainbow here) from Betts might be the best person to ask about it.

i got one a few months back for $200 - and picked up a dolso case for it - so in the end still cheaper than those with the tray case. Betts had one for sale a little ways back as well - with the tray case - so might want to check there as well
