Congrats! I'm envious. Also a title I would like in my collection ...


... and that's why it isn't. :) But you got a great price. Big congrats, again!

Darn it! I missed that DT3 cover proof! Congrats if someone here got it.

(I love those sphere DT covers. Those were the first copies I read, and the covers pull you right in).

I really like this work. And it has a lot of appeal beyond just Stephen King fans; it works independent of its association with The Dark Tower.

Offered $600. Declined.

Figured as much.[/QUOTE]

Try $849.99, Eric. You might get it then.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, $800-$1000 seems like the going rate for that edition. He signed 100 something...

That white keys PC copy is neat.

I've never seen that belly band on a Bachman paperback before.

Really? It looks *exactly* the same as the cover, to the brushstroke. I would expect detectible differences in a preliminary work.

Some artists make canvas prints of the original and then touch up...

So it has to be signed? That might be a tough acquisition. And then you'd have to start with all of the variants; whitey tighties, boxers, bikini briefs ... you might not want to go down that...

For someone new to the book covering game (I received most of my big ticket items already covered, but I could use a handful)... What specific items should I buy- is it one size fits all?[/QUOTE]

Brodarts arrived today. Shipping package was a bit dodgy, but the covers were unharmed thanks to the way they were...

Specific editions aside, I quite like The Regulators as a novel. The first time I read it, I think I was too distracted by trying to understand the parallels between it and Desperation. The second...

Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize that either! (Although I only took a cursory look at the listing, as I wasn't bidding). Was it a complete matching set? Or non-matching?

ETA: Matching. Wow, someone got a...

Looks like it’s gone. I hope someone here got it - it’s a neat edition.

No, but I wouldn't immediately suspect/accuse you of doing what you describe, above, if you put a book up for sale claiming proceeds would go to a charity you didn't specify.

It takes more than a...

If I recall correctly, they started that PB cover style around the time that the revised Gunslinger was published, and brought out new titles with it over the next few years. So I would guess...

Yes, it is, although there are a lot of desirable signatures there - many from authors no longer with us. It’s a pretty remarkable collection.

The book itself is quite nice too, with colour illustrations and such. The UK S/Ls - as much as I like them - have the same contents as the UK trade editions.
