That price is fine. They vary between £2 and £10 for a 1st/1st because its one of the least popular King books.
Make sure it has the full numberline 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and price of £12.99 on the jacket.
You got a good deal as you don't have to pay any postage.
Cool, yep checked the the price and full numberline it all checks out.
Thanks

Is this one like the earlier Arkham House books, where the printing info is on the last page of the book, or is it on the copyright page?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu...Cthulhu_Mythos
there were three printings
I am currently in contact with an Ebay seller, im am not sure if they are a member here or not. Basicaly they have sent me pictures of a Desperation & Regulators promo book light that they have for sale.
I was just wondering what price you guys would suggest as reasonable for such an item, as i dont want to pay too much.
Here are the pics:
Thanks in advance

What's the starting bid? If you want it, go ahead and bid what you think is fair. I don't think it shows up by itself that often...
There isnt one, i recently bought something off them and asked if they had any other promo items and they showd me this through email.

Asbestos Firestarter.
I was wondering if anyone on this forum has one of those all elusive Asbestos copies of "Firestarter". If so would they be able to post some pics. Also how many of these were made and what is the going value? (very high im assuming)

I know Bob has a copy for sure, and he's posted pictures before.... somewhere.
And I'm pretty sure others have one too.... Juliana comes to mind.
Only 26 copies, and about $15K. And Bob can explain the story as to why only 25 still exist.
Dont tell me they got burnt lol

2nd post on page 92 of "Your New Pride and Joy" has a picture of Juliana's copy. (woohoo to my memory!)
Is it featured in the collectibles catalog?

According to Stu Tinker one copy was indeed burned in a house fire.
Wil check that out, didnt even think of that.
Kinda ironic
I will look there now, thanks.

Its such a shame that out of 725 copies only 26 remain.

haha no, there was 725 S/L, and 26 lettered - of which only 25 remain. The signature page was the same for both editions though, which explains your confusion.
Ahhh... Makes sense. Thanks e_taylor for clearing that up.

Short story writing. Good for the wallet?
Stephen King likes to write short stories and I like reading them. Until recently, I never knew how lucrative this market could be…if you are a well-known writer.
The picture below shows the first publications of “Just After Sunset” stories, along with the US & UK editions of the collection.
I have not included the audio books of “Gingerbread Girl”, “Stationary Bike”, and “Just After Sunset”. Also not included are the many other publications of, “The Cat from Hell”, or different versions of “Transgressions”, and non-English editions.
Each publication earns the writer money. So I reckon big Steve has earned a few bucks out of this short story collection. (Good on you mate). “Under the Dome” will never make as much as this.
So any budding short story writers out there, keep at it, and your wallet could be bulging too.
P.S. The bulging wallet only applies to writers. Collectors only have lint in their wallets after buying all this lot
You forgot the Playboy with either "Willa" and "Mute." Can't see which one. But cool picture. I like the look of the McSweeney's. Never seen the actual book.
