King Books/Items Wanted

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

...and The Green Mile paperbacks 1-6 in Fine condition.

You will need a very deep wallet for all 6 in fine condition.

[Ricky]

Yeah, I bet. Might have to sell my signed books to pay for those. :rolleyes:

[Patrick]

Fuck that. He bought those two books from me for $900. Sell your 747s and buy different S/L editions instead. Making $$$ is always good when selling books but $2500 for two DT books that aren't even that hard to find????? Unreal.

Seriously, that's price gouging at its worst. 747 is too scattered anyway, I know who has the LSoE #747s. Better off just getting what works for you and not worrying about trying to match off the bat. Plus you did great with the #520 set so that's a start.

I usually try not to fault sellers for trying to get top dollar, but that price makes NO sense at all. The set can't be fully matched, and while DT IV is scarce, DT III certainly isn't.

If he paid $900, he should be very content to sell in the $1500 range. But...he might have his reasons, who knows.

It is price gouging, but in a buyer's market he's practically gouging himself - he has a motivated buyer, which probably will not happen a second time anytime soon.
I agree completely with Rahfa.

Reminds me of an old saying: "Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered."

Ok, once again forgive my denseness, but that is a joke, right?

[PlayPhish]

Good to see my #747's getting so much attention. I only sold them a few months ago, and my DT 3 & 4 I sold for under $900 together.

[Jimimck]

Ok, once again forgive my denseness, but that is a joke, right?


I'm with you. I'm assuming sarcasim? Or am I showing my ignornce too??? :unsure:

A very, very nice fellow member. Sorry, I didn't know you were looking for one. Just coincidence. I do like the hell out of it, though!!!

Hi

Can anyone help me find a dustjacket for 1984 GRANT The Gunslinger?
Or will this be hard to find?

[Merlin1958]

You may try contacting DMG direct?

[jhanic]

According to Grant's site, they're sold out. You might enquire anyway. Maybe there's an extra laying around somewhere.

What is a good price for the Arkham house books TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE and NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS? In NF or better condition.

[TwistedNadine]

New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos F/F just a month or so ago was 36.50 from Abe (includes shipping). Compared to the other listings at the time I thought that was a pretty good price.

[Niels]

New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos F/F just a month or so ago was 36.50 from Abe (includes shipping). Compared to the other listings at the time I thought that was a pretty good price.

If that's a first printing, not ex-lib and no owner markings than that's a great buy! (New tales goes up-to 3rd printing)

I don't a copy myself (but am looking for one, too), but how can you tell what printing it is? Does it have a numberline or does it have some other distinction?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

What is a good price for the Arkham house books TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE and NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS? In NF or better condition.

I sold my F/F 1st/1st of NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS for £14.99 last year.

[divemaster]

NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS (1980) was selling for around $100 about 4-5 years ago. Like most of the collectible book market, prices have come way down. If I were selling today, I'd try to get at least $60 (and would probably fail). If I were buying, I'd try to get it for less than $35.

My copy is a First Edition and I was not aware of any subsequent printings. Unlike most Arkham House books, the edition point to look for is on the copyright page--the line "First Edition designed by Jason Van Hollander." If there are later printings I'm not sure how those are designated for this particular title. For other Arkham reprinted titles there is often a statement on the colophon page (at the end of the book) stating a second printing or third or whatever. My guess is, the way this book is designed, that it would not be designated like that but with some statement on the copyright page.

TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE is a common book easily obtained for $20 give or take.

[TwistedNadine]

I also didnt know there were subsequent printings. Mine states "First Edition Designed by Jason Van Hollander" with no number line. 11.95 on DJ. Copyright 1980
And no, not ex lib no markings fine dj with no chips creases etc

[billstand]

There definitely were later printings for New Tales of Cthulhu Mythos.

I ordered through a dealer back with it came out and it already had listed 'Third Printing designed by Jason Van Hollander'

Bill

[biomieg]

Thanks for the feedback everybody. This confirms what I found when doing a cursory ABE check. I would have no problem paying $60-75 for NEW TALES and $20-30 for NIGHTSIDE in NF or better condition.

[sgc1999]

[Ricky]

Yeah, that's what I'm finding. :lol:

Did you try David @ Betts Books?

He has a signed one for $1,900!!!!

[sgc1999]

ill take a look thanks

[TwistedNadine]

Isnt 1400 a lot of a 1/1 f/f carrie (unsigned)? I thot they sell for about 800 or so? Havent looked at the market on those for a while tho.

[Cook]

Yes,
$1,400 is a little over the top.... unless of course King personally blessed it. (kidding)

[sgc1999]

not much out there now a days for good condition carrie, but i would be certainly happy to pay $800 or $900 for one. dont think ill find one for that now though:(

[Merlin1958]

Got mine for $500 about a year ago. Nice copy too!!

[mcdonaldj]

Got mine for $500 about a year ago. Nice copy too!!

$500?!? - that was a sweet steal of a deal.

[CRinVA]

I got my First Edition Carrie for free! Won it in a contest! It's a library edition, but in excellent condition and I am happy with it. And to top it off, I got it signed at The Three Kings booksigning in Washington, DC a few years ago!

[sgc1999]

now your lucky to get one in acceptable condition for $500. signed ones are starting at over 2 large. Betts doesnt have one that i can see in fine condition or close. I dont need it signed i just need the book itself in fine condition, the dj isnt that important as i have a nice one. i just want a book 1st ed no markings or damage. but............................................I CANT FIND ONE !!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Merlin1958]

Got mine for $500 about a year ago. Nice copy too!!

Thanks to all those who helped me out with these books, managed to get a most of them on the list !! So if all goes well and the books are not lost or destroyed by the delivery company I will only have 3 UK editions left to get (minus the brand new releases coming up, but those are easier to get upon release). 2 of the 3 left to get are going to be expensive to get !
Heres what i have left to get:
Carrie
Night Shift
The Bachman Books

Can't afford the Carrie or Night Shift at this point but based on what i see online I can swing a copy of The Bachman Books.
So if anyone has a UK 1st/1st of The Bachman Books they want to sell, please let me know !

[Ricky]

Pretty much my goals for the rest of the year. Fine, 1/1st:

The Stand: Complete and Uncut
The Talisman
Danse Macabre
Skeleton Crew
The Bachman Books
Different Seasons
The Dark Tower III: The Wastelands Grant proof
(Unsigned) Heart-Shaped Box
(Unsigned) 20th Century Ghosts

I'm looking for The Stand and The Dead Zone that have matching artwork. These were later Doubleday printings.

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/102/couch022.jpg

[ELazansky]

Actually, only Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, and Night Shift have the dj's like your Night Shift above. I have those 4 and have not seen The Stand or The Dead Zone like that.

[WeDealInLead]

Cool, that makes my job a lot easier then because I already have Carrie. I could swear though that there was at least one more or a variant cover or something. Bob Carlosdetweiler posted it a while ago.

Local Chapters here has 20th Century Ghosts for sale at $5. First printing. There's a catch though... bottom of textblock is marked as remainder. Other than that, they're brand new books. They have a stack of 3 or 4 left. Let me know if you want it and I'll go out and buy it for you.

[ELazansky]

I think Bob showed two different versions of Carrie - one with Carrie written vertically and one written horizontally.

Yeah, that's the problem I'm finding. They're either signed or remainder marked. I tried to get it off my reading HC of HSB with sandpaper, and it worked okay, but I wouldn't want to do that to another copy.

Thanks for the offer!

[Patrick]

Ricky, is this the First Edition you are looking for?

I may still have an unsigned copy. I honestly can't remember if I had both my unsigned copies signed or only one. My Joe Hill collection is mostly packed up right now, but I'll dig them out and look if you need one.

[Jimimck]

OK Gents, what I am about to type may offend some hardcore collectors, but I've made a decision to fill in a few blanks in my collection with BCE editions of those out of my reach for the time being.

I'm keen to pick up Fine/Fine, early edition BCE copies of the following:
- Carrie
- Night Shift
- The Stand
- 'Salem's Lot

As far as I am aware, there are still BCE editions printed the same year as the original 1st/1sts? If so, thats the year I'd like to grab, rather than later printing editions. Yeah I know, If it's not a 1st/1st, why would I care what year. Don't know why, I just do :-)

Anyway, I'm in no hurry, and am aware these are readily available on Ebay, and so this is really just a call to you guys, as I expect if anyone here has any they want to get rid of, I can trust that they will be in good condition.

Also, I'm aware that shipping from the US will probably cost more than the books, so I may be best to keep an eye on Ebay UK anyway.

Cheers
James

[biomieg]

I don't think you can tell the year of printing on a BCE. In the case of 'SALEM'S LOT, the blurb on the front cover is different on early and later printings so that may help, but other than that... I'd just go for the best copies you can find. You could also try and find later trade printings with a DJ price etc. At least with these you can more or less guess how old they are.

[Jimimck]

Thanks Michaël, I didn't realsie that about the BCEs.
Yeah good point, just get the nicest copy I can find for a cheap price. I just want some place holders until I win Lotto or something :)

[sgc1999]

I grabbed a mint bce copy of carrie for about $10 or $15 or so on ebay last week. says copyright 1974 stephen king on inside page. right above that says library of congress. tired of searching for a true 1st/1st too. not that i wont grab one asap.

Don't know if it makes any difference to you or not but I believe the BCE are a different size that the firsts but most of the 'early-later' printings are the same size.

[Randall Flagg]

Good point. Not all BCE's are the same size as the original.

[Jimimck]

Cheers guys, I'll try and see if I can find same sized ones.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh. Gotcha thanks:)

[Ric]

At the risk of being a shameless shill, You can always get a Dolso wooden case w/window, painted white for like $95 + S/H

Do youhave pics in your thread of the ones mentioned above? I'll check em out and prepare to eat some humble pie

[ELazansky]

James,

Here's my Salem's Lot case that Dolso did - by the way, this case looks just like Merlin's, since I had Dick steal the plans from him to make me one.:dance:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/SalemsLot.jpg

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Wow, I like both items! Nice and shiny...

[Jimimck]

Cheers Eric,
That does look pretty cool!

[ELazansky]

That was before I took the wrap off the book. I hate shrink wrap...

[Merlin1958]

Cheers Eric,
That does look pretty cool!

Hey sorry Jimimck. Didn't mean to imply that "humble Pie" would be required. Just pointing out options. Yeah, though in some instances the paint job out shines the wood-grain. What's nice about Dick's "The Stand" slip cases is the window, just like Tom's. that highlights the man and crow on the cover!!!! You could go either way with it too, wood grain (which mine happens to be) or painted high gloss white.

Most of my Dolso cases (all of which are pictured in my collection thread I believe) are wood grain. Dick sort of speaks to the wood and makes amazing choices!!! However, in the instance of the Salem's Lot, (mine has a silver plaque for the title) I thought the black finish would compliment the mostly black book and the black case for Insomnia provided a landscape for the purple inscriptions we decided to go with.

At the risk of going on too much, one of the cool things about a Dolso case, IMHO, is how cool he is with customizing it to your preferences such that you genuinely feel like you are part of the process.

[Shannon]

I think Merl is actually Dolso. lol

Looked up shill ... Never heard that before ... weird.

[Merlin1958]

I think Merl is actually Dolso. lol



If Dick is an avid Yankee fan and 6'9" tall, you could be right!!! LOL LOL LOL

[Jimimck]

Hey sorry Jimimck. Didn't mean to imply that "humble Pie" would be required

Don't be silly pal, I was just joking around saying I'm always happy to be proven wrong, especially when its in regard to cool King items! No apology needed at all.

Dolso kindly offered me a cool case for UTD that has a similar window for the dome to show through on the collectors edition. I think it's really cool and lack of budget is only reason I don't have it on my shelf...

Just keep your eyes open. I bought mine six months back or so as part of a lot of about 10 or 15 magazines. Seller just listed all the dates included in the lot, and Oct '78 was in there. (In fact, in my efforts to get all the issues, I amassed a collection of about 50 issues of the magazine.)

[carlosdetweiller]

I'm willing to pay above market for an absolute mint/mint copy of the shining 1st/1st.


I would too! Definitely. I've never seen one. I have some really nice copies of THE SHINING in my collection but none are what I would call "mint" or "as new." Most are definitely "fine/fine" (probably even VF/VF) but there always seems to be a little rubbing to some part of the dj, a little bump to one of the boards or some other minute thing that keeps it from being perfect. I'm really critical though.

'SALEM'S LOT is the same way for me. I've got some exceptionally nice copies but none are "mint."

[Shannon]

UPDATED: Looking for the following books in decent to fine condition, thank you:

Doubleday Reissues:

Carrie
'Salem's Lot
The Shining
Night Shift

[biomieg]

That's quite a list, Shannon. Did you finish paying for your car?

[Shannon]

Ha!

Not yet ... :( But I figure I can still buy the little stuff and be ok if I stay away from the more expensive items (artwork, S/Ls ...)

I really like the subcollection aspects of these items. I bought three Holdorfs a week or so ago for a great price and they look great next to each other on my shelf. Then I bought all six paperback Collector's Editions books ... Then I bought the Carrie cartoon cover, then I bought Rosemary's Baby from the SK Horror Library, lol. I figure I might as well get the rest.

Oh, and the King Classics Campaign books ... those covers are beautiful! :)

[biomieg]

Yeah, but a ton of little stuff is still big stuff, right? I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it, on the contrary - I say 'full speed ahead, son' (I'm paraphrasing Bob here). Spending money is what makes the collector's heart tick.

[Shannon]

Yes, a lot of little stuff adds up. But it makes me happy, lol.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

THE SHINING posts here made me curious so I pulled mine off the shelf. Dust jacket looks pristine, but the book's spine is slightly pushed in at the bottom (is this 'rubbing'?); otherwise the book is VF in my opinion. However, there appears to be remainder speckling on the bottom pages, unless it was manufactured like that, which I doubt. And the original receipt was inside, paid $60 plus $2 P & I March 11, 1982. Sounds like a good deal to me.

[carlosdetweiller]

The speckling is a remainder mark. Lots of copies of THE SHINING in collections are remainder copies. I've got one too.

Not to derail this thread too much, I actually own a near mint UK THE SHINING. It looks absolutely beautiful and very near to flawless (Thanks, David!).

One (or two) pics of a book can reveal/hide flaws. Having the book in hand, removing the DJ cover opening the book etc. is the only way to-subjectively grade the book.


Very Fine (VF)
The highest grade given to any copy, very fine is a term that describes a crisp fresh copy and it admits no flaws. Any copy with even a minor blemish must not be graded very fine; therefore, there is no “else very fine” grade. Please note that some sellers use the terms “mint” or “as new” in place of “very fine.” While we feel that “very fine” is more precise, there is nothing improper in the use of those terms in description.

Pretty sure I saw a couple on eBay in the last year going for just under $150. I will keep the copy at Betts in mind though.

The $175 edition was inscribed by Straub I think? Good price.

You are correct.

The inscription on my copy reads..".For Jim, Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure."

[Jimimck]

I was hunting for some book club editions of the early Doubleday editions a while ago, and am still keen for Carrie, Night Shift, and 'Salem's Lot.

Now actually what I'm really after is either a Book Club Edition, or later printing edition that matches the size of these originals.
I know the book club edition of Carrie is same size, but I get the feeling Night Shift is the larger size. Does anyone know for sure what size Night Shift comes in outside of a true 1st printing?

[The Library Policeman]

You can get a book club edition the same size as the first edition. Definitely.

[Merlin1958]

Well as a result of working with Dolso on the Night Shift cases I know the BCE will not fir properly into the 1/1 case. PM Dolso he may have more info.

[Jimimck]

Thanks Alan,
I know for sure there is a 9 1/2" version around, but sounds as though you know there is also the 8 1/2 size available too. Just what I was after.
The hunt continues for one...

Cheers guys.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

My SALEM'S LOT and NIGHT SHIFT book club editions are the same size as the 1st/1st's.

[Dolso]

That's good to know. I wasn't aware there are BC editions that are the same size. The ones I've seen of Salem's Lot, Shining & NS are larger .............

[scstandpipe]

That's good to know. I wasn't aware there are BC editions that are the same size. The ones I've seen of Salem's Lot, Shining & NS are larger .............

I'm sure there are exceptions, but from what I've come across in 2 years, the original Doubleday BCE (the ones that explicitly say "Book Club Edition" on the bottom right-hand inner dust jacket flap) were the same size as their 1st/1st. The ones that I've come across that are bigger are the reissues that look the same but don't say "Book Club Edition" on the dust jacket; they're almost identical to the 1st/1st except for obvious 1st indicators, address of the publisher, and the larger size (and they MAY even have a little different biography info for King on the back inner DJ flap???). Oh and I've also noticed that the ones that say "Book Club Edition" are typically made of crappier quality boards that don't match their 1st/1st (in either color or material), while the reissues were made of better quality boards and spine cloths (From what I remember, the reissues: Carrie had maroon spine cloth/black boards, 'Salem's Lot was the same as its 1st, The Shining was the same as its 1st (except the DJ's spine is turquoise and the backside is white maybe? ...instead of being a continuation of the front DJ artwork like the true 1st), and Night Shift was the same as its 1st). This probably belongs under "Collecting Questions," but just thought I'd put my 2 cents in for the questions being asked! :)

[biomieg]

Oooh yeah, sweet memories. I still hold myself partially responsible for his descent into insanity. In the beginning, when people still took him seriously and were discussing the market value of 'IT', I randomly mentioned that I'd had a dream in which Mr. Rabbit Trick purchased 'IT' for something like $3,000,000.

Now, I did actually dream this and I simply posted it here because I thought it was funny... but I did NOT expect him to use it as an incentive to list his copy of The Star Invaders on eBay for an insane amount of money. It really creeped me out when he did that and by association involved me in his weirdness.

Looking for a Dark Tower 1-3 Box/Case/Slipcase from Grant. They are sold out at the website and the one I received recently isn't in the condition I would like it to be in. Any help or direction is appreciated, thank you.

I actually have a spare one, but I use it as a stand for my TMSG.

[Jimimck]

Shannon: you just want the first 1?
I have the whole set that I have been in two minds about trying to fill with alternate versions of the set, or selling.

I also have a local seller who may have just the first one available. I'll ask him and let ya know.

**EDIT**
LOL @ TMSG stand!

You might want to wait before you buy that.....

Slipcase found, thank you all.

[Jimimck]

I'm glad you asked about the Grant case, cos when i contacted my local guy, he didn't have one for you, but did have a spare Gunslinger one from The Collector cheap. I picked it up for my 3rd edition... Nice.

[Shannon]

Well ... you owe me one, then! ;)

Grant still sells these new for $150

But you can get one for less than $100 through eBay.
