Ubris
Under the Dome wooden traycase
A bit expensive, but it sounds nice.

Considering the time involved to make each one individually it's not a bad price.
Since the "Dome" is transparent (opaque), I would like to see a case made out of plastic.
I agree, a plastic case would be cool. But what do you mean opaque? Opaque is the opposite of clear. If you mean like a plastic that's sort of dark and foggySpoiler:
I think that's a fantastic idea.

That could be done in a smoky acrylic. Kinda like the slipcase that came with the S/L Essential Stephen King.

An optimist? I don't think so. Looks more like a dreamer to me.

Boy oh boy, I'm glad I bought them as they came out, at the bookstore so no address stickers pasted on them either! Dang, shoulda' bought 4 of each! Oh well.
I think he's asking way too much!

Check out this auction. Take a moment to actually read the letters too. I haven't inquired who the seller is or how they got the letters, but the seller is from the same town as the original recipient.

wow
fascinating stuff...toooooo pricey for me, but good to read.
Calla Wolf
GREAT stuff!!
Spendy however....
Expensive stuff but I got a kick out of reading that!
I got a kick out of reading it. I also had to save the pictures. Now I have the letters without spending HUGE amounts of cash I don't know.

Those letters are great stuff.
Here is some background information on the original recipient.
EDIT: And also this.
Fun letters - especially that 2nd one!
ETA: And the hand written note from Owen would be cool, too - but not for THAT kinda price!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
They are pricey but I think priced fairly for the length and content. Significant King correspondence (not the postcard type) is pretty rare. Someone like Lloyd Currey would probably be asking $2500 and probably get it.
I'd make a bid but I don't want to pay $24.95 for postage. That's highway robbery!
Not really...insured priority shipping is going to be about $17-$20. (well...guess it doesn't have to ship in a box, though)
There is no way in hell it'll go for that price.
I noticed that this one is NOT numbered/lettered, and the description alludes to as much as well calling this one an extra.
6 days to go and it has 9 bids? Yeah, it's going to go for more than that.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
