King Books/Items Wanted

[Gris]

I'm trying to find a Viking W&G.

Anyone know why this one book is so expensive compared to the other Viking HCs? They were all basically the same size, single run, right?

I'm trying to find a Viking W&G.

Anyone know why this one book is so expensive compared to the other Viking HCs? They were all basically the same size, single run, right?

All the viking 1-4 1st/1st seem to run about $30-$50. I'm not really sure why. I've never seen the print number but if it was low, that would make sense.

I'll let you know if I see one.

[Garrell]

Print run was 40,00. W&G may be higher because the cover was the best of those and any first print IMHO.

[biomieg]

Even with a low print run, at least one of the Viking reissues (but probably all of them) had several printings. Always check for a full number line. As for the price: I haven't followed the market value for these at all but I was under the impression that DTI was the most expensive of the bunch. Guess I was wrong. They're very beautiful books so I'm not surprised they retain their value.

(I got them all brand new from the bookstore and all except DTI are 1st printings so I'm looking for a 1st printing Viking GUNSLINGER I guess...)

Hi team.
Still looking for early printings or Book Club editions of Carrie, Night Shift, and 'Salem's Lot. Dont care that they aren't 1st/1sts, just want them to be at least near fine and the same 8 1/2 inch size as the oiginals.

Cheers
James

I always thought the early BCE's were slightly smaller than the 1st's. At one point I had BCE's of Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, The Shining, Night Shift and The Stand. I'm sure someone has measured them exactly though.

I think you are correct. I know that the BCE of Night Shift will not fit into the Dolso case.

It looks to me to be the same height at least as my 1st/1st's of The Shining and The Stand.

[Lurker]

My BCE editions of Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, The Shining, Night Shift and The Stand measure 8 3/8 inches.

[Jimimck]

Thanks Lurker, they will be the ones I'm after (the 1sts are about that size aye?). I just don't want the larher 9 1/2 inch editions.

Cheers guys.

[Merlin1958]

Well, I have to admit I can't say first hand that they are different sizes. I just know that Dick made a point of saying that the NS case he made would not fit the BCE. He's usually pretty spot on when it comes to these things. Having a tape measure for an index finger and all!!! LOL

[Dolso]

From what I understand, the BCE's come in at least two different sizes. One is the same as the first but the other is at 9 3/8". There may be other sizes but those are the two that I'm familiar with. This is talking about "Night Shift" and "Shining" ~ I assume it holds true for "Carrie" and "Salem's Lot" too, but don't know for sure.

I'm looking for a S/L of The Regulators. I've seen a few on eBay, but $1,100+ is out of my price range. Thanks!

[frik]

I haven't kept track lately, but you shouldn't pay (much) more than about half that price.

sk

[Randall Flagg]

I think it would be a challenge to get one for $550. If so, then you have done well.

[bdwyer19]

Thanks. I think I've seen some in the $800+ range, but it's been awhile.

[bdwyer19]

Thanks! That really helps give me a better idea of what I should be paying. I may be getting in touch with David (Betts) very soon!

[jhanic]

The Collector has the range between $800 and $1100. I think that's a bit high, too.

I have a "price-point" list I keep for S/L'ds I don't have (The Regulators, The Stand, The Green Mile, The Eyes of the Dragon, and some others). Typically based on eBay action, Heritage Auction Galleries, and the classifieds here . I've tracked sales for The Regulators and my "jump on it immediately" price is $600. That way I feel like I'm getting a good deal. The fact that I absolutely HATED this book makes me not want to spend any more than the bare market fire-sale minimum.

[ELazansky]

I am looking for a S/L Eyes of the Dragon. If anyone has one they'd consider selling, please let me know. Thanks.

[Cook]

I'am looking to buy or trade for any S/L #79 Stephen king items.

And a special thanks to Room 217 Caretaker.... for the #79 goodie.
Package arrived safe & sound

Betts have #573 - check made out to Cavalier for copy of the Fifth Quarter (was $850) now $765

Hi team. Anyone got a fine book club or early printing of 'Salem's Lot they don't need any more? Looking for the 8 1/2 inch one to go in my new case from The Collector.

Yes I know, I need a true 1st, but at this stage I can only afford a place holder :frown2:

Hello fellow collectors

I was wondering and wanted to ask you guys if any of you have a spare dustjacket for the 1978 first edition of The Stand
I have a great looking copy of the book but the dustjacket looks like crap.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Unless you want to spend an awful lot of money, it might be better to get a book club jacket. The proper priced dust jacket is very expensive.

A beautiful 1st edition jacket usually comes with a very nice 1st edition book attached. It's tough to find a VG dustjacket by itself.

Hey, continue to help. If you come up with #464 for DT I, II, or III, let me know. I'd be very interested in that information!

I find it amazing that many of the book dealers that sell on abes will not list the numbers??? I had one store actually give me a hard time and tell me it didnt matter what numbers they were. I tried to nicely explain that there are collectors who would love to find matching number sets. Another seller just out in out told me no. she wouldnt tell me the numbers. Oh well. less sales for them.
I will let you know if i do stumble across those books.

Good luck on a "mint" copy of "The Talisman". I have 3 copies and one is in NF shape. All three have DJ's in a broadart cover, but the boards on the book itself are a cheap black "cloth", and when I remove the DJ I notice minor scuffing to the boards. I would hesitate to sell the finest copy I have (which I would rate as Fine DJ, NF book) as "mint".

They are quite hard to find. For a time there were a few copies of the proof sold at Betts back when Stu was still the owner. I bought mine directly from one of the atendee of the party. No necklace or trivia, but does come with envelope stamped with 6 peace sign. I've only seen them on Ebay once or maybe twice in the last 7 years.

The typefaces used are Granjon, Dyer, Willow and You Murderer. The embossing was done from polymer plates that were mounted type high and then squeezed through the press by hand. The paper is acid free 250 gm archival Rising Stonehenge. The wood engravings are incised on end grain maple and were made by George A.Walker who also designed and hand-printed the whole project on his Vandercook SP15 proof press in the winter of 2012.

Folio Edition: Bound and slip cased in black fiscagoma, includes two versions of the poem signed by both Neil Gaiman and George Walker and possibly by Amanda Palmer. (That's the plan, but no guarantees from Neil about her signing). Blind stamped front and back, heavily embossed. $375 (Please note: we have only been able to secure 10 copies of this edition.)

If anyone is interested in these broadsides, you can order them directly from Biting Dog Press for the regular retail prices. $350 for the Folio Edition and $80 for the Regular Edition. They really look nice, but I don't know where I would put it if I bought it. I hate putting stuff in a closet.

There are also unsigned 'out of series' copies of NLR. I got one of those a couple of months ago.

Can you PM me? where can i find an out of series copy? and how much would i have to pay? PS today is my 50th bday. I dont think i have much longer to find 1. I have all 1st editions except NLR and the plant. not so interested in the plant. it is not a complete story!

Thanks!!!!

[Shannon]

Happy birthday! :)

[biomieg]

I didn't mean to imply that an out-of-series copy of NLR is easy to find, I just wanted to point out that there's a cheaper, unsigned alternative to the Real Thing. A copy should set you back $400-450 I think.

I'll sell you the DJ that is Fine, then go find the book. $275.

The trouble I encounter with finding book only is that if the original book is sold with or without a worn DJ, the book itself has flaws that would look out of place with a mint DJ. They are usually as battered as the DJ that comes with it. Rarely would you find a mint book with a worn DJ. But you can find a Fine book with a Fine DJ. Am I being anal?.

Yes, I saw the copy with the signed bookmark at Betts, but already have 2 of those bookmarks.

The thrill was in the hunt, but the extremes of over priced books at abe's and poor quality library ripoffs on ebay is getting tiresome. I'm not quick enough to snag these when David has them listed on Bett's for 5 secs before someone else grabs them:

1st/1st Gunslinger in NF or better
1st/1st Carrie in NF or better
1st/1st Salem's Lot 2nd State in NF or better

[Dan]

1st/1st Salem's Lot 2nd State in NF or better

Forgive my ignorance as I am a new collector, but I thought when it was stated 1st/1st it meant 1st edition 1st printing. Where does 2nd state come in? Im not sure i understand the difference between printing and state Although in this situation I do understand that you are referring to the dj price and Father Cody error. I am speaking more in general terms.

[Randall Flagg]

As you said, 1st/1st refers to a First edition, First printing. Donald M. Grant did a second print run on The Gunslinger and a second on The Drawing of the Three. The "Second Edition" 1st printing Gunslinger is usually referred to as a 2nd/1st.
Link: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Stephen+King+First+Editions:Gun slinger+The+DTI+-+Trade+HC+2nd+Ed

[biomieg]

I'd say that we mostly use 'state' for variations that occur within a printing/print run. Most are dust jacket variations ('Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, The Tommyknockers, Rose Madder, Under the Dome). We also use it to distinguish between various pre-publication forms a book goes through (i.e., manuscript, uncorrected proof, advance reader's copy). I hope this helps!

I'll swap you my paperback for your hardback :p

I had a hardcover edition with that cover art once (sold it to a Dutch collector friend). I agree - it's very nice! But I must admit that I like the cover art on the 1st printing as well, despite its cheesiness.

namelessnpoor . offer him $500..
As I said, I wouldn't sell it for less than $1K, and honestly, with the work that went into it, I don't believe I would sell it for any price. The machining was so labor intensive. There was so much set up work (which BTW, wasn't done by me, I take no credit for that) that it was a labor of love.
That being said, there is the possibility that in the future we could sell the cases-and even include the À la carte option where a person submits there own art, and verbiage for the front and back side-including color choice for the case, and mono color choice for the "etching"-perhaps full color is an option, it just has to be a viable business decision.
Currently the master case maker for this is so busy they can't accept any work right now. It doesn't look like that is going to change in the near future.
I just am so proud of the work they did that I had to show it off a bit.

You had to know that was coming, right? LOL

Just to stay on topic:

I have 2 of 3 remarqued copies of the CK and would love to get the third, a Potter one, just to complete the set. Anyone? Anyone?

Wow, that is one nice slipcase.

[biomieg]

Jerome posted about them elsewhere with the specifics. It's a metal case and there are some hidden features, too.

[Brice]

That is a badass case. I want one and I don't even have the book to go in it. I'd buy one just for the case.

Coming to me in the mail. There are only 2 of the cases in existence. They look (in the picture) like they might be fabric, but they are custom formed for a block of aluminum-literally carved out. They are HEAVY, and the metal "feels" like gunmetal-I held one before the image was put on the side. Another cool feature is that the case is split along the top, back and bottom, and can be slid open to display the book. There is an inside (not where it would harm the book) rail.
When I receive it I will take additional pictures.

There is the possibility for 4 more cases. The limitation has to do with the actual amount of aluminum purchased to make these-it was one huge slab, and evidently there is some raw material left.

These are very nice may ask if one is black and the other brown or is it just the way the light is hitting it?
Jerome what would be the cost of one of these cool looking cases?

[Randall Flagg]

Actually one is black and one is green. The lighting doesn't convey the correct colors. When I receive the cases, I will take additional photos.
As to more cases, I am looking into a few more. The price has to work not only for the buyer, but for the manufacturer. I hope to have more info soon.

[Garrell]

Neat case:)

So is $255 considered a good deal for this book? What's the normal price?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I would say $200-$250 is the normal selling price.

[stkmw02]

I hate to interrupt the discussion of those beautiful slipcases! Someone suggested I post the items I am seeking here... and since I hope to make some purchases before the end of next week, I thought I'd better post right away.

I'm hoping to obtain first edition first printing hardcovers. Not interested in signed or limited copies, unless otherwise noted below. I will also have some duplicate firsts to trade or sell, as soon as I finish an inventory of my collection. I've been holding off on purchases for five years... so I decided to get my King fix to celebrate my birthday and receiving my Masters of Library Science - both on May 12th!

Thank you very much for taking a look, I appreciate any purchasing suggestions!!

Looking for a s/l SODV1 and an it portfolio!

[bdwyer19]

On the lookout for a signed 1st ed of Full Dark, No Stars. Not interested in the signed BCE. Thanks!

The signed BCE is the rarest edition. 1/100

[Robert Fulman]

It's funny, I'm only interested (but not at market price, I'm sure) in the Book Club edition. I'm still mad that I missed out on that one.

[bdwyer19]

Thanks Mr. Rabbit... I suppose I could go for the signed BCE, but it's not so much about wanting the more rare edition. I'd be happy with a signed 1/1 on my bookshelf. Betts just had one, but I was too late.

[skyofcrack]

I'm hoping to obtain first edition first printing hardcovers.
Just After Sunset (Scribner)

You can still find copies of this book at Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million stores in the bargain section for around $7. They should still be 1st editions. Look for remainder marks across the top or bottom of the pages.

[jhanic]

Remainder marks decrease the value of the book. Just letting you know.

John

[stkmw02]

The bookstores around here no longer have first printings. I'm still looking, of course, but figured I'd list it here just in case. ;)

Looking for some promotional samplers/excerpts from Hodder & Stoughton:

[Tito_Villa]

I didn't know they did samplers for those books!
