    It's different, and it needs seasoning, but I like it!
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Apologies in advance if this is an inappropriate question, please just ignore it if that’s the case. I’ve always wondered what these rare proofs are valued at. What’s the average amount proof collectors would be willing to pay for this one?

    No problem. I think it's very difficult to price up these rare proofs. I paid $800 for this proof, which due to it's scarcity, I thought was not to bad a price. Why is this one is $800 but a similar scarcity Gunslinger US proof went for $15K, I have no idea?

    $15K for that Gunslinger?!? I learn something new every day here. Sounds like $800 was a good purchase based on the feedback you're getting about this proof. Congrats btw!!

    Thanks Adam. The Gunslinger was a silent auction with Betts. It was a beautiful looking proof in fine condition. Unfortunately, I've yet to find any of the Gunslinger proofs.

    Nice stuff, one of my favorites too The UK and US covers only differ in the publisher name at the bottom, right? Or am I missing it?
    Looking for:

    - Fine Viking Eyes of the Dragon proof

    Yes, externally the only difference is the publishers name. Internally, there is an extra page in the US proof with the Viking logo and the changes of publisher details on the forepages. Otherwise, the story text is identical.

    Bob has one, and Betts sold one a couple of years ago that I just missed out on. I believe it was signed by King but I might be wrong... either way, it was only $450 I think! I was really sad that I didn't get it...

    forgive me if this is obvious, but i do not know the difference between the first two, is one signed and the other not? and that black spine proof! fantastic! i always wanted to get the whole promo package, a sheet of magnets just sold on eBay for over 50.00 on its own!
    i read somewhere there was a small bag of plastic bones also included in this promo package, do you know if there is any truth to that?
    i love Wednesday proof day!

    Thanks. Yes, essentially the 2nd and 3rd states are identical except one is signed (100 copies) and the other is not, plus they have different publishers letters. The magnet sheets are expensive, this one came with the proof. I haven't seen the bag of plastic bones, so I'm not sure if they were included in the promo package or not.
