King Books/Items Wanted

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I am looking for the UK trade paperback of DOCTOR SLEEP.

[namelessnpoor]

Anyone have a 1st /1st Firestarter they want to get rid of cheap? Just looking for something decent, even with no jacket is fine, as long as book is decent. Not looking to pay a lot obviously.
PM me if you have something
Thanks

No one has an extra not so great copy of this?

Am I missing something? It was just released in HC on the 24th.

[Jimimck]

Bill, are you getting confused again?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Hodder always does a simultaneous trade paperback that is NOT available in the UK, only airports and places like Ireland, etc. I always manage to get one but it's not always easy. No luck so far on DOCTOR SLEEP, although I do have the Australian version reserved.

I have a few copies. I'll look when I get home and see if I have one to spare, and what I want for it.

Sadly, that is always a possibility!!! LOL LOL

Thanks, I was not aware of that fact. Good to know. I learn something new each and every day on TDT.Org!!!


For instance, in addition to the "Hodder" thing, I learned that James is a real wise-ass!!! Very close to my heart!!! LOL LOL LOL Just fooling about, James!!!

[SirFolio16]

I am looking for a Doctor Sleep ARC... PM me if you have one and are interested in a sale/trade.. or if perhaps you can point me in the right direction...

[jhanic]

I'm also looking for both the US and UK ARC of Doctor Sleep.

John

[biomieg]

I wonder who got the US proof copy that was listed for sale at Betts last week. Not me!

[Bev Vincent]

There weren't many of these sent out, it seems. Many reviewers were sent hardcover copies.

[SirFolio16]

I managed to get my hands on a Galley of Doctor Sleep... but I would like the ARC so I have it in each state.

But you got a proof, didn't you? ;)

[SirFolio16]

Its on its way to me... once I have the Galley in hand and I figure out how to post pics I will def put some up...

[biomieg]

I'm curious too. So far I've only seen the version that we have in our Proofs Catalog: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Stephen+King+Manuscripts+Proofs +and+ARCs:Doctor+Sleep

Which has the statement 'advance uncorrected proof' but to me looks more like what I would define as an ARC (because it has the cover art in place already).

My guess is that either you got an earlier state that none of us has seen yet and you will then need to find the version we have in the Catalog (although it's technically not an ARC), OR you got the version we know - and in that case I don't expect there to be another state that is available to collectors.

Did that make sense? :)

[Bev Vincent]

There weren't many of these sent out, it seems. Many reviewers were sent hardcover copies.

But you got a proof, didn't you? ;)

I was able to work from the material CD had for the limited edition, so I didn't push for getting a proof from Scribner. By the time I asked for one, they had the finished copies, so that's what they sent me.

[Kingfan24]

I am interested in trading a signed doctor sleep for a partial trade for an IT S/L - let me know if you have one!

[Jimimck]

I'd be interested in trading a UK s/l Doctor Sleep for an IT s/l if anyone has one

[The Library Policeman]

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but having shipped heavy books from the UK to the States before, I can tell you that getting 3 or 4 copies shipped together won't be any cheaper. It'll actually be more expensive. Once you go over 2 kg the airmail prices get ridiculous. Royal Mail pass it onto Parcel Force over a certain weight and they charge stupid amounts. A recent example: The 2 volume Gift Edition of The Talisman cost me around $70 to ship to the USA. It may work out better if you get your copies individually. Good luck though.

[RIC #520]

If not too late.. I would take one... Ronnie

[George at C-Springs]

Anybody have any Italian SK's they'd be willing to part with? Not looking for expensive, old paperbacks would be fine, they'll be reading copies for my wife ... I think I've got her at the turning point! Yay!

[herbertwest]

What is that WHSmith Collectors' edition? Never heard of it...

[Br!an]

What is that WHSmith Collectors' edition? Never heard of it...

It's the same as the regular UK edition except the smoke and lettering is purple instead of green.

I have finished reading my wh smith copy so if anyone who wants it free, it's yours bearing in mind I'm from the uk, happy to ship over if:

You cover costs and I'll pack securely and speedily ($30 approx)

Or

You are happy to receive it via slow boat and standard packing (I'll cover minimal expense)

Pm me and it is yours. Good condition as mixed reading and audible over the last week.

[shaq]

Ps the book is free outside uk only, as anyone can go buy it here

Hey, friends!

I need some help. How much is a "PC" copy of Stephen King's signed, numbered, limited edition of IT worth compared to a numbered copy?

Thanks!

[Merlin1958]

Hey, friends!

I need some help. How much is a "PC" copy of Stephen King's signed, numbered, limited edition of IT worth compared to a numbered copy?

Thanks!


Though I do not necessarily agree, the community at large values them at a little less than the market value for a numbered copy. Maybe 5-10% less. I happen to think they are a little more special, but that is just a personal opinion and in the minority.

[Jimimck]

Yeah PC's are a tricky bunch. In the end I think it comes down to the purchaser. To some, PC's are worth more if they are trying to complete a set of them etc. Other collectors see them as poorer cousins to their numbered counterparts.

In the end, its the same book, same signature, no number. Personally, if I could buy a numbered or a PC at the same time, with both being offered at the same price, I'd choose the numbered edition. But for the right price, or if I couldn't find a numbered edition of something specific I was looking for, I'd be happy with a PC in my collection.

[Ben Eads]

Thanks, Merlin1958 and, Jimimck!

I deeply appreciate the insight!

[darkdiscoveries]

Most people usually want the numbered and lettered editions more and unless sold out and rare, usually the PC copies will go for about 25% - 50% less with other authors. With King usually about 10% - 20% less unless somebody really wants it bad or very tough to find. But your mileage will vary they say.

i dont like PC editions. i have two. i dont know why. it is just not the same. i just dont like them. I have a PC copy of Six Stories and a PC copy of twttk.

In most cases, PC editions are basically the same book. Printer overrruns are a longtime thing due to the stupid "over/under" policy of most printers - as well as protection against damaged or faulted books. (Some use them for reviews or promotions as well). Some might not have signature pages, some might have some slight damage, some might be extras in mint shape just were "in case" copies. Technically they aren't part of the numbered or lettered run, but are still part of the complete run overall. In most cases it's usually just a handful or PC copies that exist outside of the # run or whatever (although there have been some publishers who have totally taken advantage of that and did a lot more and exploited it - anyone remember the Dark Harvest fiasco?)

I don't mind them myself. I tend to get a number of them from publishers either in trade for ads, etc. and I resell and/or trade some. I have needed the ad money for DD and the publisher needs the publicity but might not have extra money for it. So it works for both of us. And somebody usually wants most of them - especially if the book is out of print and tough to find, or at least wants the cheaper copies. I do understand why some collectors wouldn't want them though.

The thing that bugs me is when a publisher does a numbered signed/limited run and it sells out and then they do another signed/# run of exactly the same book to capitalize. All of a sudden instead or 250, 500, 1000 or whatever you now have twice that numbered and the first book is devalued.

I'm sure Randall Flagg would know quite a bit about current pricing as well.
I haven't heard of one selling for less than $4900 in quite awhile, although I'm admittedly not really in the game much anymore.

[TwistedNadine]

Thank You Jimimck - Another CD item I missed out on (sigh)

[Jimimck]

I'm always to two minds about the CD slipcases. They do look great, and compliment the books very well, but I just can't bring myself to spend the money to buy and ship overseas, to protect a book I can buy so cheaply.

Now, different story if I'm gonna put a flat signed edition inside however.

[bdwyer19]

That's my philosophy. I only get additional slipcases for flat signed books.

[Kingfan24]

Looking for two King things

1) the Owen King Signed Chapbook from double feature
2) the promo stuff from NOS4A2 (christmas card and air freshener I believe?)

[Bad Penny]

There is no minimum requirements, we have collections ranging from beat up paperbacks to Bad Penny

Lol.

Sigh ...... I have beat up paperbacks, too :P



Looking good WebStar1000 - although the picture is sideways (or maybe it's cos I live in Australia, maybe?). Looking forward to you're starting your colelctions thread soon mate !!! :smile:

Hi BadPenny! I love your collection... IT was my first King book and I was in grad 9... scared the hellllllllll out of me. I posted in collections under Webstar if you want to see the pics correctly... haha

Thanks mate - and you're not doing too badly at all with your collection either (just checked it out - nice) !!!! :smile:

[erxbooks]

I am looking for a First Edition of the Gunslinger that has only been signed by Michael Whealan. This will finish my artist signed firsts collection.
Contact David from Betts Books.
david@bettsbooks.com

He sees Whelan several times a year. I am sure you could work something out with him.

Thanks for the info. I have contacted Dave.

Still looking for Salem's Lot S/L. Shoot me an email and let's make a deal! $$$$$$

[Dan]

I followed a link someone provided to preorder the Mister October S/L, but it was already sold out. Anyone know if there is a book seller that still has some of their copies up for grabs?

Strike that. I asked to be on waiting list and he went ahead and processed my order, so I have a copy reserved.

Hey Guys,

i want to complete my DT Set - so if anybody has some Grand signeds for sale - just let me know.

Thanks a lot!

Hey Priest-

What Grant editions are you looking for? I run Betts Books and between that and my personal collection, I am likely able to help.

Looking for the following flatsigned by King.

Dr 6 artist edition

[thegunslinger41]

WTB Salem's Lot S/L. PM me. Thanks1

[stroppygoblin]

ok, so on my journey back from Paris I thought long and hard about what I'm collecting. I have decided that the most important aspect is to complete the set of 1st/1st's and for the DT series I'd like these to be all Artist Signed. SO...

I now have a F/NF Gunslinger 1st Ed, 2nd printing (Grant marked "Second Edition") that is flatsigned by Stephen King. (you can see pictures of it being signed in the Paris thread). What I would like is to trade for a 1st/1st in similar condition, preferably signed by Michael Whelan. So all of you with large collections and multiple Gunslinger 1st/1sts - what d'ya say? Does everyone agree this is a fair trade or is there a major disparity between values here?

Update: There is currently an ebay sale in process for the exact item I am looking for (starting @ $750), I have just contacted the seller to see if he is open to trade.

Here is an picture of Steve signing the book (for those that cant find the thread):

I (along with some others on this forum) find it less daunting to set some boundaries on what is a *complete* collection. For me it is only Hard cover editions so the Bachman paperbacks are out of my scope. (at least for now...) I have enough problems finding $$ for Carrie and 'Salem's Lot without worrying about trying to explain over $1000 for 4 paperbacks to my wife!!

[namelessnpoor]

Just realized I need a UK Joyland first edition, can anyone help me out?

[jhanic]

Rusty, what are the differences between the US and UK Joyland issues?

John

[RC65]

I keep hoping to see this in the Collectible Classifieds:

I have multiple copies of the slipcased Gift Edition HCs of DESPERATION and INSOMNIA, so am selling a two-volume set of both DESPERATION and INSOMNIA for $100 shipped in the U.S. Both Fine/Fine/Fine, as-new.

Alas, so far no love... :frown:

[Dan]

You can order the Desperation gift edition from Grants website still. I think it is $75.

[RC65]

Yes, but I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone, and do it on the cheap. We'll see if it ever happens...fortunately, I'm fairly patient about such things.

[namelessnpoor]

Rusty, what are the differences between the US and UK Joyland issues?

John

To be honest John, not sure, I saw someone else had posted they had ordered a us and UK Joyland and I do not have a UK version. Anyone out there know the but if there are any? ,

[biomieg]

UK trade PB of Joyland is of a slightly different size than the US PB. I'm away from home for the weekend so I can't check for other differences. They do look very similar/identical.

I have one copy each of the slipcased Gift Edition HCs of DESPERATION and INSOMNIA, but am not selling for money or indeed love... :P

Seriously $75 from Grant is probably the best price you will see this and David has a copy of insomnia @ $70 (bettsbooks.com) These are both beautifully illustrated and worth every penny (IMHO)

[Dan]

Patients will get it for $50 each. I did about a year ago.

Correct, and there were 99 total (PC who knows?).
Does that mean you do not/will not own one for your lettered collection?
Does that also mean the 1/50 "Fifty to One" doesn't meet the criteria?

Speaking of which, I need images of the Dandelion Wine S/L for the Catalog.

There's no magic to it - when CD announced Dr. Sleep was going up for sale, the date was well known here on the board. Then you just went to the website and placed an order. If someone is going to make a Mr. Mercedes S/L, the info will be posted on the board well before it goes up for sale. It won't just pop up one morning without us knowing.

[Dan]

There are exceptions, like Joyland. How many knew ahead of time. Several long time collectors here missed out due to lack of notice, but generally we know ahead of time. I hope it's CD, not only for the great production, but they give the collectors club a little extra notice.

[webstar1000]

This is great stuff. I know it is not CD as I was on their site and they offer a slip case for it but that is all. They state they are not the publisher hence why I asked. It seems you guys prefer their S/L's the most? I be interested to know... I love Grant's last couple. thanks

[Dan]

Just because they haven't announced it, doesn't mean it will not be CD. The fact is, we don't know yet. I'm sure there are some who know who will make one, if at all, but can't say due to contracts and so forth.

Oh I did not know. Thy just state the are "not the publisher of this book"....

[biomieg]

But I think they mean they're not the publisher of the trade edition, right? I haven't checked but I think the slipcase is for the trade edition.

[Dan]

But I think they mean they're not the publisher of the trade edition, right? I haven't checked but I think the slipcase is for the trade edition.

Yes, this. And Jerome, the morning of Joyland I almost didn't get on here that day. For some reason I casually checked and saw heavy discussion and was able to pick up two S/L's. Very grateful to the site and members that day.

I cant be limited to 6 times a day! 6 times an hour more like it!

Or perhaps like LISEY'S STORY, DUMA KEY, et al, there won't even be a S/L of MR. MERCEDES (though as a noir nerd I hope there will be).

Although mine is not for sale, the range for a 1st has been anywhere from $150-$450. I would say $250-$300 is a fair price. The foil cover gets damaged easily, so if it is really Fine and unread, you would probably pay a bit more.

I agree on the $250 -$300 for a nice copy. Also agree that if its really fine its worth a little more cause there wicked hard to find without some wear to the dj, especially top and bottom of spine.

get her a Dance with dragons 1st/1st signed. Much more affordable and still a great collectible.

Go back and check out the "Joyland", "The Shining", "TWTTKH" and "Dr. Sleep" S/L threads around the order dates and see for yourself. Good stuff!!!


P.S. There actually is a "little magic" involved in certain cases. Member's here have discovered "back door's" on several occasions to process an order when the host site goes invariably crashing down.. You'll only get that here, on TDT.Org!!!

The Dark Tower has been my favorite set of books and to have them all signed (including the elusive first one) in perfect shape.. plus 4 others that match??? Had to do it. Saying this... I am now putting mine up for sale.

Mine is a matching set from The Waste Lands (DT#3) and up in #576. The set (as you can see in my collections thread) is mint and perfect from DT#2 and up. The Gunslinger is a 1st/1st and has just the hint of shelf wear only. The Drawing of the Three is a 1st/1st and the number #576 is out there, I also have Desperation in #576 as well if you would like to add that to the collection.... I am open to offers... I can send more pictures if you like, you may also pay by Pay Pal and you do NOT have to use the gift option... This way you are protected in every way if for some reason you are not satisfied. You have 45 days to contact Pay Pal if there is a problem to get your money back. The books are all sealed but I had this done professionally for moisture etc and is not the original sealing. Any other questions... please ask.. and PM me if you have a reasonable offer!! Thanks guys

Lately, people have started using this thread to offer books for sale. Please don't. That's what the Collectible Classifieds thread is for.

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks Michaël.

*** UPDATE ***

I'm very pleased to say that I just received my gift edition of IT from Jud Crandall. The book is in mint condition, and kudos to Jud!

CD did an amazing job with this one!

Pics to follow.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Not a King book, but I am looking for a LETTERED edition of L'il Harlan and his Sidekick Carl the Comet in Danger Land by Harlan Ellison from Sub Press. Through no fault of my own I was unable to order a copy (details upon request, but who cares anyway). If anyone has ordered this and no longer wants it please let me know! I will gladly take it off your hands.

[TwistedNadine]

Congrats. Glad it all worked out.

[stroppygoblin]

not sure if this is the right place for this (mods feel free to move) but other than the first four Bachman paperbacks, are there any other PB's that are considered the first edition of the book?
I'm thinking Joyland is a possibility?

EDIT
Ok, been through the first editions section and I reckon the only PB 'true' 1st editions are:

Rage
The Long Walk
Roadwork
The Running Man
The Green Mile set
Creepshow
Umney's Last Case
Joyland

Anyone have a different opinion? assume from the point of view of "Complete collection of US Firsts"....

Storm of the Century since you didn't exclude screenplays.
Colorado Kid

[Priest]

Honestly, many of the customers (me included) got their S/L Joyland from Titan before the release date of the paperback.
What makes this (in my humble opinion) the true first edition.

[stroppygoblin]

Hmm I suppose this should be refined to 1st TRADE editions?

[Priest]

then you are back with the paperback ;D

[stroppygoblin]

then you are back with the paperback ;D

Good (I have that one :) )

So, anyone here got a nice condition Storm of the Century PB (1st/1st obv) that is surplus to their needs? Let me know before I go wasting money on ebay...

[webstar1000]

I wonder why Ebay pricing is so out of wack? I Unless you can win a auction... some prices are crazy out there...

[Ben Eads]

Congrats. Glad it all worked out.

Titan publishes Hard Case Crime. They state that the hardcover release date was a week after the softcover.

stephenking.com (Bev Vincent's list) also lists the HCC softcover as the first edition.

[Bev Vincent]

My list is of US first editions. Titan is British.

The Colorado Kid
Silver Bullet
Umney's Last Case is not a true 1st edition & also a novella.

You're forgetting, I believe, the first 3 TDT U.K. 1/1's They were only issued in PB. I'm fairly certain.

[jhanic]

The only UK hardcover of DT IV, Wizard and Glass, when it was issued was the book club edition. The "true" firsts were all paperback with French wraps.

True, I have always considered my "Hodder & Stoughton" copy a 1/1, but that is just MHO and subject to my hate for PB's. You are right though, there is no price on my U.K. TDT IV hence, the PB was the true 1/1. My bad!!! Thanks for correcting me, John.

Good point. Although every King first edition is the US edition isn't it?

[Bev Vincent]

There are probably cases of simultaneous publication where that is less clear cut, but I don't keep track of those instances.
