King Books/Items Wanted

[namelessnpoor]

They sold them at the event nameless, I am assuming you got one there?

I'm donating one of mine to the giveaway.

yeah i picked up 2 of them, i posted that before i left for the event, i did not know they would be selling them there and so i was trying to get my self set up before hand

[MonteGss]

I've seen them before, perhaps even advertised by members on this site. I've asked others. I can find some of them online but not all in the same format. Anyone with any info they can share with me would be the coolest.

I really, really, really, really want The Dark Tower books in Spanish. I just thought I'd take a chance and see if anyone has them and wants to sell them or knows where I can get my own. At this point, I don't care if they are hardbacks, paperbacks or scribbled in crayon. :)

I'll occasionally repost this in the hopes of some help.

Thanks for the time! :)

I have been looking for a reasonably priced copy of The Shining. Not so much luck with that though.

I have been looking for a reasonably priced copy of The Shining. Not so much luck with that though.

Thats one of the harder ones to find thats in decent condition. Keep your eyes on ebay, I got mine there at a "good" price. Remember its an older book and pristine copys will go at a higher price. DJ are a large part of any book. If you can live with a not so good DJ but a very good book then get that. You may be lucky and find a better DJ somewhere. Dont forget that you can also "Marry" a second issue DJ with a 1st Edition book. Not as valuable as both being 1/1 but hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Hope this helps

[Ricky]

Thanks, Chooch. The thing about eBay is that I've never used it before and I kind of don't want to be ripped off. I try and stick to used book websites like ABE.

[Matt]

I believe you could probably start using ebay if you wanted Ricky, just find the auction and then come here to see if the seller is reputable.

All kinds of experience with that sort of thing around.

[Ricky]

That's what I love about this site. Everyone knows something about something and is willing to help you out.

When I first came to this site, I was so confused! So many forums, users, member titles, casino game things, just pure craziness! Now I am getting to unserstand everything and it's becoming one of my favorite websites. :clap:

True words from Matt...there is a lot of collectors here and we all share the same fascination "SK". And I'm with you Ricky about this site....Excellent in all respects!:thumbsup: :cool: :thumbsup:

Not me. I just lack funds right now and don't have any comparable thing to trade.

[wizardsrainbow]

I have one already, sorry

[Ricky]

Wish I could, but I am kinda broke. I finally found display cases and it's costing me a pretty penny. ><

I wouldn't say " Nothing worthy" I have holes in my collection I'd like to fill...but I must say I have a straight King collection. I dont have (or want) any books that King contibited to, or he did the intro (even if he signed it) so I'm only interested in "SK' books . Ive seen some of the collections that people here have and have noticed some doubles. I have two Dolan's and just really want to keep one...so the offer is really aimed at people that want a Dolan, have a double and want to trade. Thanks for the post ....

[e_taylor]

Anyone willing to trade a DTVII slipcase for my DTV slipcase? (the ones from the collector)

[Chooch]

Does anyone know of or have SoD1 S/L #706? Thats the # I will receive when they release SoD2 and Id like to have a matched set. Ive talked with CD and they are not willing to give me a number to match one that I could find on the secondary market so how can I go about finding it (other than asking around) Thanks

[jhanic]

I'm really surprised that CD wouldn't match your number! The only reason why that I can come up with is that the original owner still has a "lock" on it. You might contact the seller of your SoD1 and maybe work something out with them.

John

I seen one on ebay and I think the number was 486 so I emailed Mindy and she flat out said that " That number is already reserved" My thinking is if the #1 is for sale on ebay and you do not put out a list of what number people will receive then what is the big deal? Allow me to buy the one on ebay and then match that number with the one I have on order with them....I dont think I will buy fron CD again...hell they have had my money for 8 months now. At the very least work with me....:shoot:

[jhanic]

Truth! She should at least allow you to send in a copy of the limitation page to reserve the matching copy!

Chooch,

If I'm understanding your message correctly, you have SOD2 #706 coming from CD. Your looking for whoever has SOD1 in 706....Yes?

If you want a matched set, and I am understanding you correctly, I know who owns #240 SOD 1 and guaranteed and paid for SOD 2 #240 for a matching set.

I got her the set when I bought mine but she is having $ issues right now and probably would sell both for publish price plus all the shipping and insurance.

Simply tell Mindy your canceling your order and return your money and buy matching set #240. 240 is still registered to me because I bought it.

Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding your message.

I'm looking for the hardcover Cycle of the Werewolf (Land of Enchantment), which is the only hardcover book missing from my collection. I see Betts has a copy for $300, but I cannot spend that much on a book, unfortunately. Are there good copies for under a hundred or would that just be ludicrous?

Thats pretty low - but if you search eBay regularly and are willing to be patient, you might, MIGHT get lucky. Its all in the dustjacket with this book, so you are probably looking at closer to $175 - $200 for a collection worthy copy.

[mae]

I suppose I could just go for the "library binding" edition: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0808519085/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&condition=new :(

[jhanic]

Or you can get one right from the people who did the binding:

Perma-Bound (http://www.perma-bound.com/PermaBound)

Price from them is $17.98 + shipping.

Just type in cycle of the werewolf in the search box at the top right corner of the page.

Try asking Ari Racing. He might be able to point you in the right direction Monte. Or you could just watch Abebooks, ebay, etc...

[Ari_Racing]

You've got PM :)

The Dark Tower books are impossible to be found in pocket nowadays in Argentina. The most easy to find is The Gunslinger in HC, which usually goes for 18 dollars more or less.

[herbertwest]

In 1984, GQ Magazine started publishing a series of articles called "My First Car" where celebrities, athletes, writers, etc. describe (what else?) their first cars. Many were compiled into a book published in 1993.

King's entry in the book uses the same photo as the one in this thread. The text says it is a 1964 Galaxy and he bought it from his brother for $250 when he was about 17 years old.

I'm not a car guy but that can't be a 1964 model in the picture. That must be a typographical error. He probably GOT the car in 1964 as King would have been about 17 y/o at that time. Are there any old car buffs out there that can identify make and model?

OK, I think I have answered my own question. The car in the picture is King's SECOND car, according to the original article in the July, 1984 issue of GQ. It is a 1956 Plymouth.

The car pictured is a 1956 Plymouth Savoy
Obviously in much poorer shape than this one:

[carlosdetweiller]

I have no idea how old he is in the picture. He looks older than 17 to me though.

According to the caption of the picture in GQ that is a picture of King and his second car, not his first.

If anyone has or comes across a 3 pack of the Duma Key Tennis balls i would really like a set. I have been outbid on 3 diffeent auctions on ebay !
I don't usually collect promotional items but i really liked the book and wanted to get these.
I thought i had someone who was going to offer me a set if they got any more but it seems they may have let someone else get them.
thanks
Rusty

[Randall Flagg]

Ari_Racing has a couple of sets. PM him.

[jhanic]

I think Ari only had two, and I got one of those. You can try, though.

John

[namelessnpoor]

Does anyone know where these tennis balls came from? Were they given away as a promotion somewhere, did someone have them made up themselves to make money? I never have heard where exactly they originated from and am curious to know.

[Bev Vincent]

Scribner issued promo kits to reviewers that had a single tennis ball (with the book and author written on it) in little plastic boxes with simulated waves made of construction paper inside. Maybe these three-ball versions are the excess from that campaign?

[jhanic]

I've heard that the single ones (see the thumbnail) were distributed as part of the promotion for Duma Key by the publisher. I don't know about the 3-packs.

John

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Does anyone know where these tennis balls came from? Were they given away as a promotion somewhere, did someone have them made up themselves to make money? I never have heard where exactly they originated from and am curious to know.

I wonder if the tennis balls are coming from this:

http://www.colonybeachresort.com/Duma_Key.html

Mulleins
Cumberland VA

[Randall Flagg]

At the risk of being wrong, I would postulate that the tennis balls came to the publisher in a "three pack tube". Standard packaging (although not always in clear plastic) for tennis balls. Someone probably had to mate each individual ball with the true "promo" piece. Somehwere, somehow, there are leftover tubes with balls in them. In fact, there may be leftover accompanying promo stuff.

[Ari_Racing]

I had two sets until a couple of weeks ago when I received offers for one, so I auction one (I'm keeping the other one). Sorry Rusty for missing it :( Mike Pasiuk also contacted me about it but I'm not selling mine.

The ones I received came directly from the publisher, so my guess is Bev is right: publisher's excess.

[namelessnpoor]

hello everyone, some nice stuff you all have collected recently, i haven't had much time lately to spend on here and reply to things, but i always enjoy reading your alls exploits. The new baby is doing fine but man are they needy !! hahaha
Moving on to the actual topic at hand, just wondering if anyone has very good or better copy of Pet Semetary they are willing to part with, i have money or trades. Been slowly going through my books and checking conditions, trying to upgrade a few of them if possible. I have had many many copies of Pet Semetary, but nothing to great.
Would love to have a real nice copy !!!
thanks and keep on collecting and posting !!

...I'd like to buy from someone on here that I know is reliable and not have to go through the whole, is this a first edition, price clipped, defects, etc.There are a number of regular members here in the Corner that buy and sell SK books regularly. I'm sure you'll hear from them soon. Good luck!

Best Condition Books of Atlanta - I've found them good over the years, and anything they list as a first edition is a first printing.

http://www.abebooks.com/home/BSTCNDTN/

ALMARK of Thornhill is also great. Living only a few hours away I visit him about once a year. Overly nit picky and honest description and all printing info given in the descriptions. His prices are a bit higher than average, but service, packaging, reliability and courtesy make it worth while.

Is there anyone that has an ABE account that sells 1st/1st SK books at reasonable prices? I'd like to buy from someone on here that I know is reliable and not have to go through the whole, is this a first edition, price clipped, defects, etc.

Best Condition Books of Atlanta - I've found them good over the years, and anything they list as a first edition is a first printing.

http://www.abebooks.com/home/BSTCNDTN/

ALMARK of Thornhill is also great. Living only a few hours away I visit him about once a year. Overly nit picky and honest description and all printing info given in the descriptions. His prices are a bit higher than average, but service, packaging, reliability and courtesy make it worth while.

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/StoreFrontDisplay?cid=2093

I've made several purchases from both of those sellers. I agree they are first class.

[Ricky]

Thankss for the suggestions. I'll have to look at their inventory.

Thanks so much for posting this listing! I'm going to contact the seller about it because it doesn't really list alot in the description.

Thanks agian! :)

[Randall Flagg]

Looking for a US 1st of "The Dead Zone" and "Firestarter" in fine/fine condition.

Firestarter is a VERY difficult book to find in F/F condition. I have 5 copies and not a one would I consider to be F/F-Perhaps VG/VG, but the definition of F/F really means a mint copy.. The white DJ combined with the predilection of page edges yellowing and poor Doubleday production values will make aquiring a F/F copy difficult and expensive. G/G copies can be found much easier.

I'm also looking for a 1st fine/fine Firestarter. :)


Does anyone know of anyone who is selling a 1st/1st copy of The Wastlelands? I can't find any fine/near fine copies for a reasonable amount.
I have 6 copies. $55 plus shipping for a NF/NF copy.

Does that mean you'd be willing to sell a copy? :drool:

Also, Jerome, if one of those copies of Firestarter is for sale, please PM with its details and your price.

Hey Jerome, after you sell a WASTE LANDS to Ricky, please let me know if you want to sell another. I have the S/L but never picked up the 1st/1st.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what price range the 1st/1st of W&G is selling in these days? I don't have that one either.

Bonus points if they're signed by the artist. :fairy:

[wizardsrainbow]

Patrick-

The price today of W&G varies greatly. For whatever reason, I've seen a perfect shrinkwrapped one go for close to $200 but other reportedly Fine/Fine editions go for $100-$130. Some with small imperfections can be had for under $100.

[tippy4]

Speaking of which, does anyone know what price range the 1st/1st of W&G is selling in these days? I don't have that one either.


Patrick, you disappoint me!

How can you not have a Grant editon of W&G?!?!?!?!?! :nope:

I have several available. I will PM you a few options/prices.

This wrong needs to be righted immediately!

Anyone on this site buy the Colorado Kid slipcase that holds the three artist editions? I think it was green if I'm not mistaken.

:unsure: If so, is it for sale?

[jhanic]

I think I bought the one you're thinking of. I had an extra set of Colorado Kid volumes but no slipcase.

John

[gsvec]

Speaking of "slipcases" (and here I'll use the term loosely since it ain't pretty :lol:), does anyone by chance have an extra of the one done for the original 6 Green Mile books?

[Ari_Racing]

Did you try to contact Subterranean press about this?
If anyone has one extra should be the publisher..

[gsvec]

I meant the original orignal books, Ari - the thin Signet paperbacks. There was a promo at the time that you could get it for around $1.50 US if I remember correctly. I sent in my $ and never got the case, and have been whining about it ever since. :(

I didn't know that. If I had, I would have sent in my money too.

[jhanic]

I still have one of those US Green Mile slipcased sets in the original shrinkwrap. I've often wondered what printings the books are, but never wanted to open the shrinkwrap.

John

[gsvec]

I think those came out after the original run was done, John. It might be the same slipcase, though. The mail-in one was one of those fold-it-yourself things.

I just managed to get a copy of the 1973 Cavalier Annual with Battleground in it, and a copy of the September 1977 Cavalier with the second reader's ending to The Cat From Hell. I'm still looking for these issues of Cavalier:

October 1970 - Graveyard Shift
August 1974 - Night Surf

John

[gsvec]

Sorry, John - no extras of those - I'm still looking for that 9/77 issue, too!

I've got multiple issues of Gallery 7/79 (w/ Crate booklet) and 12/81 (w/ Jaunt booklet), though. If anyone's interested, shoot me a PM!

[jhanic]

We must have crossed postings--I just was able to pick up a copy of the September 1977 Cavalier from the same guy I got the annual from, so I edited my post. Sorry, I have both the ones you've got duplicates of.

The only duplicates I have are the August 1977 Gallery with The Man Who Loved Flowers and the July 1981 Heavy Metal with The Blue Air Compressor.

John

[gsvec]

Sorry, John - no extras of those - I'm still looking for that 9/77 issue, too!

I've got multiple issues of Gallery 7/79 (w/ Crate booklet) and 12/81 (w/ Jaunt booklet), though. If anyone's interested, shoot me a PM!

And my mistake - in the 7/79 Gallery, "The Crate" is NOT a booklet. The story's included in the magazine, but not as a separate pull-out.

[CRinVA]

I'd love to own the Cavaliers with the early King fiction, but the prices are ridiculous. So far I aonly own the March '71 with I am the Doorway. I stumbled upon that for less than $10. I do own all the Gallery's with early King fiction and most of the other early magazines with King fiction, except the really rare ones like Ubris, etc. Someday i will snag them for a nickel - i am always on the lookout for them!

Just like someday I am going to snag a First Edition The Gunslinger at a yard sale! It just takes lots of patience! :-)

[Bev Vincent]

I used to have all those magazines from back in the early 1980s, when I used to get 'em from used bookstores. Of course, naif that I was, I ripped the stories out of the magazines and tossed the rest away!

[tippy4]

Just like someday I am going to snag a First Edition The Gunslinger at a yard sale! It just takes lots of patience! :-)

Nothing like a bargain to make your day.

I still remember getting a signed 1st of Everything's Eventual for $40.

Takes the sting out of paying so much or some of the other goodies in our collection

[herbertwest]

I just managed to get a copy of the 1973 Cavalier Annual with Battleground in it
In France this is one of the scarce early stories to have been published in a magazine... And i really like the title of this one, cause IMO the meaning is really well done into this clever title : "attaque à nains armés" (literally, +/- : armed widgets attack). How good is that title? :-)
this is also a play on word with an expression : attaque à main armée




with the second reader's ending to The Cat From Hell.
I'd be noisy to read that ending...

[jhanic]

with the second reader's ending to The Cat From Hell.
I'd be noisy to read that ending...

There actually have been two stories published with the reader's endings for The Cat From Hell. The one in the September 1977 Cavalier is by a guy named Phil Bowie, who, I guess, was the first place winner. A second story by Mark Rains was published in the December 1977 Gent. I also own that one. I haven't yet read Bowie's version, but Rain's version is VERY different than King's, which was published in full in the June 1977 Cavalier. King's first 500 words were published in the March 1977 issue of Cavalier.

John

[herbertwest]

Could you please sort of explain what are the storylines of the alternate versions, if u dont mind? (use the SPOILER code to hide it)
ta.

And... what's the story between King's end?

what is submitted to the magazine at the same time as the beginning? When and were was it later published?

[jhanic]

When I get the September 1977 copy I'll post both storylines if no-one objects.

I'm not sure, but I'd assume that King had submitted the entire story and the magazine editor used only the first 500 words for the initial publication in the March 1977 issue. His entire version was published in the June 1977 issue.

John

[herbertwest]

it would make sense, i was... curious

Thanks for your offer :-)

[Patrick]

When I get the September 1977 copy I'll post both storylines if no-one objects.

Thanks, John. Feel free to start a separate thread for this if you think that would be appropriate (we can merge it later if prudent). Also please use spoiler tags either in the post or in the thread title. :thumbsup:

[jhanic]

I've started a thread in the Cara Laughs forum. I've posted the synopsis of the Rains story there. I'll post one for the Bowie story as soon as I read it. (I just got the magazine a few minutes ago.)

that's a great resale price for someone.
i would buy it... except i'm boycotting the book because of S&S

700.00 is 400.00+ over what my original order from Simon and Schuster was... and 200.00 over what my second revised order was.

only way i'd ever buy this is if i got it for the original 285.00 that it was supposed to cost in the beginning publisher's offer.

but since the final publisher price was 1000.00, someone without a grudge should consider it a steal.... surprised it's still available.... but makes me glad i didn't pay the rediculous 1000.00 S&S bumped the price to.

[jhanic]

I didn't remember that the initial price was $285! I thought it was the $500.

it was 285.00 or maybe 295.00...something like that... i forget... but that was the price amazon offered it at (and i place an order via) - so i assume that price wasn't pulled out of some amazon's butt, but originated from S&S . then S&S decided to only offer them through their website...at 500.00, where i placed an order at and recieved a verification for...
when the price was raised to 750.00 i told them to shove it up their ass.
then the price went to 1000.00 ....and now ....they can shove all their books where only darkness resides. hence my lifetime boycott of these scammers.

I asked about this before and I still haven't been able to procure a copy at a reasonable price. I'm looking for the Cycle of the Werewolf hardcover, yet any copies I find are way too expensive.

$160 is the best price out of about 5 or 6 on abebooks.com. Not sure what a "reasonable" price is though, since I received my copy as a gift a few years ago, and am not sure what a good value would be in today's market.

Reasonable price to pay is $100-$110.

[jhanic]

When working with some of the dealers on ABE, I've found that many are willing to haggle about their prices. Why not try? It can't hurt anything!

My goal is to get any book signed by King.

I hope it doesn't take you as long to get what you want as it did me. I got my first King signed book in 1997, but I finally was able to get my holy grail in November when I went to the signing. If you do the math, it only took me 22 years to get a King book that was signed just for me.

Isnt it more likely to be around 12 than 22? ;-)

Not even hardly. I've been wanting my own signed King book since I read my first King story. I even asked for one for Christmas one year. That's when I learned how much they really cost. That was in 1986. So 22 years sounds about right. Having a signed limited is nice, but it was never my grail.

Or perhaps even 11? :D

Coz he said 22, so i replied AROUND ;-)
Sam : ok it makes more sense! And... wow, as old as me LOL! But it paid, coz nonetheless you got a signed book but had a real conversation with the author!

[Ves'Ka Gan]

One thing I've decided recently is: I would like to get my hands on a signed JAS...if anyone is looking to sell and extra copy at a reasonable price (what I consider reasonable is relatively flexible) let me know--trolling around ebay for now.

[gsvec]

Ves, Odyssey Books might still have some available - that's where I got mine.

[Sam]

I concur, check Odyssey Book first Ves. Good luck in your search.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Thank you! Will look there.

I vaguely remember someone who wanted this, so FYI. The listing title's wrong. DT Endworld Almanac (http://cgi.ebay.com/MARVEL-STEVEN-KING-THE-DARK-TOWER-1_W0QQitemZ370114706927QQihZ024QQcategoryZ35765QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

[pickle]

I would love a Dark Tower Promo Poster and a Rose Red Promo Movie Poster.

That would be amazing.

[herbertwest]

I hope to get the promotional leaflet for the 2 french books about the dark tower. this promotional item (dont know how to call it) includes an excerpt of about 10 pages...

the collector inside me is calling for it. I'll call them tomorrow... cross fingers!

[at_one]

I would love to get the HC The Road to the Dark Tower. How much do these go for usually? Also looking for S/L DT V-VII matching numbers. And one last thing up for consideration- I have a professional Canon dslr camera that I would like to sell/trade. It's value is approximately $1500 if someone is interested in a trade. PM for details...

[batsker]

Yeah, Bev. Where on Earth might you get a copy of this?:lol:

[Sam]

Yeah? I mean, how are you going to go through the rest of your life without this vital tome in your library. With this book in your possession, you too may be able to write some works dealing with King and his literary world. :P

[The Lady of Shadows]

Wow -- out of my price range! ;)



Wow -- out of my price range! ;)

Yeah, Bev. Where on Earth might you get a copy of this?:lol:

but who could we get to authenticate the signature? :wtf:

[bast_imret]

Yea, the upper curve in the B looks a little off to me.

[at_one]

Well all my Christmas presents have been opened and I didn't get everything on my list....still looking for reasonably priced copies of: Heart Shaped Box UK, Eyes of the Dragon UK, Wizard and Glass ARC (I am tempted to just buy Scoog's copy), any limited edition Joe Hill, and SK: Uncollected and Unpublished. That should satisfy me for like 3 or 4.......days.:)

[e_taylor]

Looking for either a US or UK 1st of the Shining. Preferably US though.

If anyone has an extra copy they'd like to sell, please PM me with condition, price, etc....

Thanks!:rock:

Had mentioned this in another thread, but will post it here in the "official" books wanted one.

I'm looking for a vg/vg 1st edition (2nd state clipped/re-priced jacket) copy of 'Salem's Lot in the $300 to $400 range.

Please PM me if you've got an extra copy!

Looking for the promotional "dog tags" from Everything's Eventual. (Edit: Hearts in Atlantis)
Sorry to post what was in another thread but seeking assistance.



I wish to buy a set of the tags.
Anyone who can assist-I would appreciate it.
Kind of a "goofy" (though not funny) quirk, but I have several of the "silver" bracelets commonly worn in the 70's-each with the name of a POW (Vietnam war).
I will pay/trade most any reasonable price.

[Ari_Racing]

Sorry, Jerome, but I think you mean the metal tags from Hearts in Atlantis...or are there some of Everything's eventual?

[Patrick]

You are correct, Ari. He is looking for the Hearts in Atlantis promo dog tags that were exclusive to Waldenbooks' customers.

I saw the post that had these here and I don't see what all the fuss is. You could make the dog tags your self and no one would really know the difference.

[Sam]

That's called a knock off dude, and even if it looks as good as the real deal few collectors want a knock off in their collection.

[Earth's Militant Mind]

That's called a knock off dude, and even if it looks as good as the real deal few collectors want a knock off in their collection.

I understand that and am not saying that people should go make their own. All I am saying is that it's not a terribly unique item and can't see actual collectable value in it.

[Randall Flagg]

I take no offense at the suggestion, but I would rather not have the tags than "create/clone" them myself. Irrational perhaps, but collecting is not always unanimously seen as perfectly rational.

[Patrick]

To build on that thought, some things that we (I, anyway) collect aren't about resale value (as the term "collectibility" seems to imply above), but are simply things we like and want to own for any one of a variety of reasons.

[Earth's Militant Mind]

Actully I'm refering to the uniqueness of the item, I don't know maybe it's because I'm military that I am not impressed with the dog tags.

Hi, I am looking for a Viking 1st Edition of Firestarter that is in fine/near fine condition. The DJ on my first is faded and has started to yellow a bit.

Do you know the correct month for the interview in the 1979 Cavalier? I have not heard of this interview but would look for it if I knew the correct issue.

At least you know it's a finite search - twelve issues.

And you can probably eliminate:
February 1979 (http://www.wonderclub.com/magazines/cavalier-magazine-backissue-mag-CAVALIER197902.html)
March 1979 (http://www.wonderclub.com/magazines/cavalier-magazine-backissue-mag-CAVALIER197903.html)
July 1979 (http://www.wonderclub.com/magazines/cavalier-magazine-backissue-mag-CAVALIER197907.html)
(scroll down past each cover for Table of Contents)

[nt07077]

Hey Bob, it appeared in the August issue. It's a self interview that King did. Hope that helps.

[carlosdetweiller]

Hey Bob, it appeared in the August issue. It's a self interview that King did. Hope that helps.

I'll look for it.

So, just to make sure I've got it right, it is CAVALIER, August, 1979?

I can't find it listed in Collings' bibliography. Is this one that has somehow slipped through the bibliographic process?

[DanishCollector]

Okay, I'm not Tony, but it's listed in Justin Brooks' second (or third) addedum. It is August, 1979.

[nt07077]

^^^^^What he said. There's 3 addedums, Pete? I know it's in the 2008 version.

[Bev Vincent]

I found this reference (http://www.king-search.de/missing.htm) (and, on this very site, here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/archive/index.php/t-1551.html)) but the year is different. It's the same issue that contains Night Surf.

C65a "Random Notes ...: An Interview with Stephen King" (King interviews himself) -- Cavalier (August, 1974)

[nt07077]

Bev, you are indeed right, the year is 1974. Sorry for putting the wrong info.

[DanishCollector]

I only have 2 addendums. Is there a third? Damn!:arg:

[jhanic]

I've only got the two also. Can someone confirm that there are actually three?

John

[nt07077]

Peter, I was asking if there's 3 since you said "but it's listed in Justin Brooks' second (or third) addedum."
But I thinks its safe to say there's 2.

[DanishCollector]

Ah, right. I put it the wrong way. Oops...

Of COURSE you "need" it, Ves! Be a Dark Half Completist! :lol:

Sigh. yes! Hide it!! I have a bid going for a french Dark Half movie poster...I'm just ridiculous over this book. I was telling Razz earlier about the sparrow tattoo I plan on getting...

That is very cool. I like it.

Thanks for sharing John, I hadn't seen that before.

I would like to add the following to my collection (I think these are 'must haves' for the serious SK collector):

The Stand - Limited/Signed
Firestarter - Limited/ Signed
Skeleton Crew - Limited/Signed
Cujo - Limited/Signed
Eyes of the Dragon - Limited/Signed
Regulators - Limited/Signed

Of course I have a huge list which includes many more, but these are at the top. I can't afford to buy them all at once, but I do plan on adding one or two this year. My plan is to shop around and find someone willing to work with me on a layaway plan. LOL..so if anyone is willing to work with me, just let me know.

Thanks!

[Gunkslinger]

This is not a King book, but I need a lettered EVER NAT published by Bloodletting Press to complete my lettered collection.

[Brice]

Ed Lee and BLP together! :thumbsup: I bet that's a nice lettered. I'd just like to see it.

I see $6.95 shipping?

[e_taylor]

I think thats just a preset amount for non-American adresses. I'm fairly confident the shipping wouldn't have actually been $21!
