Stephen King Collecting Questions

[webstar1000]

Having a case made for my signed 1st US IT... is there a member or two out there that can post the EXACT size of the book? It would really help me as I am away from my collection for the next few days at work and cannot myself.... thanks guys! YOUR THE BEST!

My IT is a 1/1 with a pretty tight spine and DJ cover on it. If your has a lose cover you might want to look at the depth.
I am giving exact measurements in inches and cm since I'm not sure where you are ordering from.
Cover Height: 9 1/2 inches 24.1 cm
Cover Width: 6 1/2 inches 16.5 cm
Depth (Spine Width): 2 3/8 inches 6 cm

THANK YOU!!!

I don't know where in the after market slipcase thread off hand, but I posted one that I had made from Jeff W. I also listed the dimensions of what I had made for it. If that helps.

Is there a section/thread that deals with mass market paperbacks?

look for this thread ---- Scribner acquires most of King's back catalog

not sure if this is what you are looking for but He has been up to date in supplying pictures and release dates of the new covers.

Hey thanks for that response. I know! I've seen his collection, very cool! I wish I could collect all of those, so far I just have the It one. I had a question about the first printing of The Shining signet paperback, specifically what the numberline was for a first printing, that led me to search for a thread or section that was devoted to all of King's mass market paperbacks which I now know does not exist. I can only imagine the time and effort that would go into cataloguing all of those paperbacks!!

I created a list and its in a thread somewhere. I went through all my paperbacks and listed the price, publishing date, ISBN #, etc... I did this about 2 years ago. I could not even begin to guess what thread. all my paperbacks are packed away. I will look over the weekend.

Sweet! I'd love to see that thread. I am (very slowly) trying to build up a first print collection of the mm paperbacks.

The 1st SIGNET EDITION IS THE BLACK ON CROME COVER. The copyright page reads First Signet Printing January 1978
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The back reads SOON TO BE A STANLEY KUBRICK FILM
STARRING JACK NICHOLSON! (Is why I own one.)

[biomieg]

I think all the Signet 1st printings have that numberline. I like the mass-market PBs too and I agree that a PB Catalog would be nice. As long as it is restricted to 1st printings it would not be a huge undertaking. They could even be added to the existing 1st editions Catalog.

Thanks guys!

go to the discussion tab and it's the first post. I knew I had seen it somewhere when I was cleaning up the wiki. Maybe someday when I have time again I can make a real entry in the catalog that's easy to read for it.

EDIT: As a note the ISBNs listed there are the paperback ISBNs and funny enough Micahel you were the one who built it I believe so you get your PB catalog

I love this place!

Sorry I wasn't aware.

If you'd like, I can scan the front and back covers and also the spines. We can use these in the database.

That would be nice. I used some website software that (jscmcmullin) recommended that joins the 3 images. Then they should be uploaded to our server.
PM me and I can set you up to load pics. Then you can edit/create the Catalog articles.

I made a list of ISBN numbers once (which I lifted from Justin's Bibliography) but IIRC they were for the trade 1st hardcovers.

Will do. I may not have the time right now to create the articles but I can get the scans done. That itself will take a good deal of time.

Waste of money. The only valuable King signed guitar is the Taylor-Cujo S/L edition.

When you guys get new dust jackets for books how do you fold the DJ around the book? I have some new DJs I need to put on but when I put them on since they come rolled it's hard to get them to sit nice against the book without large gaps. Any tips or tricks for this?

If you have the old dust jacket, this is what I do, I put the mylar on the old DJ first. It makes a mold for the new one. Take the old dust jacket out and put the new one inside the mylar and position it where you want it. Usually works pretty well for me.
