Pam - check the completed listings on eBay. Shibus recently sold a 2nd ed Gunslinger for $190.Woowhoo... Will do! Thankee, big-big !
Hi, If your still looking for a 2nd Edition Gunslinger, Like e_taylor said above...Shibus has a few. I lost the bidding on the one that just ended and emailed him to ask if he had more.
He said he had three more and actually sold me one for my bid on the other and its on the way !!! So give Greg ( Shibus ) a shout !!
Is it bad form to ask how much you paid, in general? Approximately?
Thanks for the tip! I PM'd him.

I have one, and I've seen others for sale with the book, but I don't know where they come from.So there is such a thing as an aftermarket slipcase for this book?I am looking for one as well. I have an aftermarket slipcase with my 1/250 copy which came with it, but my 1/1000 copy needs one.
If I recall correctly, the lettered state of this book was the only one issued by Lord John Press in a slipcase. The "deluxe" and the regular numbered states did not have slipcases originally.I have one, and I've seen others for sale with the book, but I don't know where they come from.So there is such a thing as an aftermarket slipcase for this book?I am looking for one as well.

Several years ago Camelot Books made and sold slipcases to house these books. I think they sold many, many slipcases. They did a pretty good job with the slipcases too. The Camelot slipcases look and feel very much like the slipcases on the lettered copies. Many collectors and dealers who come across these slipcased books mistakenly think they are original to the book but I don't think they are.
Perhaps others made slipcases too but Camelot is the one I remember.
Thanks, Bob, I appreciate the info.
I love this thread, read it like the daily news.

What is the best way to store traycased books?. Especially if they are extremely large and heavy ones like the Salem's Lot S/L or the HP Lovecraft traycased edition from Centipede Press?. I seem to remember some discussion on it.
I don't think theres a problem storing them upright, if you have shelves that accommodate them. I store my traycased Artists Inspired by HPL laying flat due to shelf constraints.
Storing them upright concerns me because I'm afraid the text block would sag eventually. That's just me, though.
John
Any that I get for the fundraiser are stored flat, I'm very worried about them.

Thanks for the input.
I am storing them upright laying on it's spine. I was told that that is the best position for extremely heavy and bulky books?. Not sure about the stress on the traycase, though. Anyone else who might shed some light on this?.
I really dont know but I collect for me and like to show off my favorites so I leave them standing up. Some of my books I've had for years and it hasn't seemed to effect them yet. Only time will tell I guess.
I think if the ones I have had were actually mine, I would store them just like a book too.

I shipped mine into space. Micro gravity is the best.
I don't see what the presence or absence of a traycase has to do with it. Wouldn't the question apply to any book? Traycased or not?
I store all of mine upright unless they are too tall for my shelves. The really big ones have to lay down. For me the problem is space. Laying a book down takes up more shelf space than standing it upright.
Right now Juliana has loads and loads of shelf space so it is really not an issue. I'll bet she fills up those new shelves sooner than she thinks though. What fun she will have!
So for the Talisman S/L theres the regular limitation copies signed by King and Straub, and then theres an additional limitation of 70 copies signed by King, Straub and 10 artists. Do I have that right?
How much more do these ones go for over the regular S/L?
Currently on Abebooks there's a copy - #65/70 for sale, and also a lettered (Greek letter 'theta') for sale, both going for $2,800.
Yes. As for how much more, Tomas at Stephen King Collector lists the 1/1,200 as $800-$1,000, and the Presentation copy as $1,100-$1,600.
It actually appears there are 70 Numbered, and potentially 70 Lettered "Presentation Copies".
