Decent BIN but it's X-Library. That hinders value a little.

I bet the gift edition of IT you get from Amazon does not come with a slipcase.

Actually it did.

That is good to know.

I saw that a couple of days ago but doesn't it look like it is ex-lib? Seems to be a sticker on the lower spine.

EDIT: Ooops! Ralph beat me to it.

[jhanic]

I didn't notice that.

Hope yours arrives ok. Amazon puts a sticker on the slipcase that is not very easy to get off. Amazon has a cheaper price, but if you want it to arrive in top shape, CD is the way to go.

[F1racefan]

I guess I will just have to wait and see how it arrives. Hopefully no damage.

I wonder if the signed excerpt makes this worth $600.
CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF (1983) STEPHEN KING Signed LIMITED

[divemaster]

He says it's "signed limited" but it is not the S/L edition.

[Randall Flagg]

I noticed that. The headline is misleading, but reading the ad should clue all but a simpleton in. I just thought it crazy to affix the letter, even if it was "gently" affixed.

[jhanic]

He mentions that there were 7500 copies of this one.

I think that is the most King has ever signed.....

[mikeC]

Has anyone ever gotten this out of an odd curiosity?
I wanted to post this in the "Is this sig real?" section but couldn't find it or it never existed to see what you guy's thought about the (haha) legitimacy of the left side text.
I had forgotten about this for years, so crazy.

I guess the will have to revise it with the section how the guy in the new book used a pseudonym of John Lennon in it. Gasp!

[Randall Flagg]

The guy is insane. It's been discussed in the past.

[mikeC]

The guy is insane. It's been discussed in the past.

I believe you are correct.
I thought so.

[jhanic]

That's only the second one I've seen offered. Supposedly 250 copies of this were done, but they sure seem scarce.

CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF (1983) STEPHEN KING Signed LIMITED

He says it's "signed limited" but it is not the S/L edition.

Well, it is limited (only 7,500), and it is signed.

As RF said....perhaps misleading to get the person to look at the auction...but if someone buys it thinking they are getting a true S/L...well, that is their problem. The auction clearly states what the seller is providing.

[divemaster]

Oh, I know. I just get frustrated at eBay sellers that title: FIRST EDITION! And then in the description say "1st Edition BCE." Or "First Edition, number line starts with a 3" etc. etc.

As collectors we all know that "Signed, Limited" has a very specific meaning. Sure, if some poor mope gets a trade edition b/c he didn't pay attention, that's on him. But geeze, is it too hard for a title listing to be accurate?

I agree. Everything is limited--including the atoms in our universe. Signed Limited is a title given to a very specific single edition of book. Using that title for a different edition can easily cause confusion.

But.. anyone who would buy that without reading 100% of the details gets what they get.


I'm curious what people think about that letter being adhered to the book.

[QUOTE=Stockerlone;666594]A member from the German SK Page created 2 Stephen King bookends:








He has now built for his collection an illuminated SK-stand for the bookcase. The CHRISTINE motiv is new. The stand is approximately 24cm wide and 23cm high, the LED technology is housed in an approximately 5 cm deep stand of beechwood.


Several illumination colors are adjustable.

[Randall Flagg]

That is unique.

[The Library Policeman]

Those look great.
