What do you guys think of this?. I'm pretty sure it's a fake with the strange loop-sided inscription.

I'm not sure. I'd avoid it for just that reason. Plus, the positioning of the inscription and signature seems off too.

I think it's legit, I just don't understand why King would take the time to write "With Best Wishes" in an odd angle on the page.
I dunno...that one bugs me. I def. wouldn't call it 'fake,' but I just don't like it.
Hello, what edition is the following item.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123 The gold rim seems different than the other 1st edition, I asked him to take off the dust jacket and take a picture and he responded that the book is brown but the dust jacket cant come off without tearing. I assume this is because of the ex-library status of the book. But the gold rim seems off, any thoughts?
Sounds like a 1st edition. The gold rim is on the dust jacket protector as opposed to the book or jacket itself. Its thinker plastic that protects the book better while its in the library system.Originally Posted by debungsmere
It is a library book. I have 2 1st with this type of dust jacket protector on them, and the libraries like to glue the DJ to the book so it didn't get lost. This is a first edition of the book as evidenced from the 2 prices on the DJ and the statement on the copywrite page and the colored endpapers. Not a bad copy to go with if you don't want to spend the $400-500 on a nice copy for your collection.

I think this seller lives in a Bizzaro World. Just look at that description of the DJ. YIKES!
Someone has ZERO idea of what good condition means.

Good grief...looks like somebody took the d/j off the book, crumped it into a ball, unfolded it and put it back on the book.
Plus, no word what edition it even is...although, at least they provided a picture.
You can tell it is a later edition by the wording at the bottom of the front panel of the dust jacket. On first edition dust jackets and some early reprints the wording states "A New Novel By The Author Of Carrie." At some point they changed it to read "By The Author Of Carrie." So, right off the bat, you can tell it is a later reprint and not a highly collectible edition.
Ah...didn't even occur to me....but not sure it was worth it no matter what the answer was!
Not a signed item, just someone please tell me that this price is a major typo.

I'm glad the seller cleared that up by posting King's "Real Autograph". Now I can go about removing all the fake ones that are in my collection.

And it was super nice of them to post such a super clear picture of that super questionable signature.

Excellent points.
You're 100% right in my opinion too. That loop seems a bit too forced and unnatural. Too bad.
If you can't find that rare 1st edition jacket you've been searching for......simply make your own. This seller did:

Please don't attack the seller. He is being honest in the listing. I just thought it was funny.

I live in Jacksonville, but I do not know this store or seller.
