    Whoever wins this auction with this remarque will own a piece of art Sai King desired to own as well.

    King actually wanted/kept the preliminary sketches for both of our Maitz remarque auctions (oops, just gave away a secret).
    Fair enough deal.

    So, If I am getting this right quite a few folks were hoping to spend $1,000 on a CD announcement edition that did not include a King sig, but here we are with a rather unique, King signed and Maitz remarqued GE of "Desperation". Honestly, I can't figure you guys out!!! BTW, there is an incredible story behind the item!!! I guess I am getting to be an "Old Whore".!!! LOL Mr. King, kept the preliminary sketches, he liked them so much!! Is that "unique" for you folks or what?


    Bid!!!

    Don is 'the Don' !!
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Well done on the sale! I was going to bid on it but couldn't figure out the international shipping so hopefully I'll win the next one or one of them. Congratulations again Merlin1958 and everyone!

    Btw how many of these type of King signed/remarqued auctions are planned? Is it just this and another one are is there a few coming up?

    p.s. I also was sure it would go over 1,000 considering some people bought a 1K non-signed-by-King "Carrie" from CD???

    Auctions will run continually, at least one a week, through 5/19/14. Not all are ebay auctions, but most are. Rachel Readman has some wonderful art for sale now that will benefit the fund raiser substantially and she resides in the U.K. so s/h is not so much an issue. You can view her wares here:
