Some of you will know I've been doing this in my spare time for a while. I'm super happy that this can become my day job for the next few years.
I'd like to celebrate by tracking down and potentially buying any of the items on this list:
- Firestarter US 1st with inscription "For Vinnie — Best, Stephen King 11/1/80"
- IT Viking 1986 Promotional Ceiling sign "IT IS HERE"
- IT Viking 1986 Promotional in-store "advance order easel" (with "IT IS COMING" written on it, and advance order forms)
- IT Viking 1986 Promotional pre-release poster with (with "IT IS COMING")
- IT Viking 1986 Review copy with publisher's letter and variant dust jacket (flaps and back cover are blank)
- IT Hodder 1986 Promotional flyer
- IT Hodder 1986 Promotional pamphlet
- IT Hodder 1986 Promotional boatshaped bookmark
- IT Hodder 1986 Promotional boat display
- IT NEL 1987 Promotional folder (with the eyes that light up)
Also, if anyone here has or knows of any pre-publication item relating to the US or UK first editions, such as manuscript photocopies, manuscript pages, proofs (other than the common US and UK red proofs), prelims for cover art, correspondence that mentions the writing of IT, anything really, I'd love to chat about this with you via pm.
Thanks!
