I was just looking at that. Fyi, that picture is copied from another listing. I've just retracted my bid on that listing.Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
Looks like a good deal:

Interesting broadside done for a King appearance at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco, ca in 1990.
AUTOGRAPHED Stephen King First Edition Broadside!!!
Pretty crafty/scummy way to list this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Stephen-King-The...QQcmdZViewItem
Problems:
1. Doubleday didn't shrinkwrap books.
2. The size isn't right for a first edition.
3. The spine is the green color of a BCE.
But, the way he's listed it, it puts all the onus on the bidder...he's not truly claiming it's a first edition, just pretending it might possibly be...but he knows...
the seller did answer and post my question about the size of the book.
From his answer it's clearly a full size BCE
I actually sent him a comment that said 'unfortunately' it's not a first edition...so we'll see what he does...
I obvioulsy posted this in the wrong thread...notning very intriguing about it! Haha...
Being that that copy is no where near a first edition, he needs to seriously decrease the price by about $480.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Overpriced, but I love the postcard!

This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Agree its pricey, but I would buy it for the postcard if I collected non-fiction.

The postcard is to Alan Bradford who published an obscure fanzine called Chernobog in the early 1980's.
When I see a book described as having its endpapers "professionally replaced" I am skeptical that it is an ex-library copy. For me, personally, that makes the book uncollectible.
Agreed.
John
nice!

Someone got a good deal on this. Cujo BCE with 1982 inscription for $37
OK its a book club edition, but its still a King signature for $37.

While browsing through a bookseller's catalogue, I found this:
As you may imagine, I immediately sent an email to the dealer, who responded:KING, STEPHEN.
Misery
New York: Viking. 1986 Printed Wrappers. Fine (Our Top Grade) Earliest Proof + Two Later Proofs for First. Galley/Proof. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Earliest prepublication state for first edition. One of only about 8 copies. A facsimile of King's original typescript, produced by Viking for submission to the Book of the Month Club to aid in selling the book-club rights. The text of this prepublication state differs from the published book. Book-club stamp in red on title page. 8 ½ x 11 inches, comb-bound wrappers. Rare. Fine. WITH: two variant facsimile copies of the original typescript for the next draft, one of which incorporates the changes called for in the earlier draft and reproduces the new editorial corrections and notations. 8 ½ x 11 inches, bound with brads and clear plastic wrappers. Very good. This state was prepared for in-house use only. The other copy is slightly different in its fore-matter and is a clean copy which shows no editorial markings, is not bound and comes with a copy of the "Original Acquisition Memo." Fine.
Darn!!Sorry John, this item was sold a long time ago, but somehow never got pulled.
(Why do I have the feeling that our own Carlosdetweiller got it?)
John
No, not me. I do have one of the copies of the first item listed...the submission manuscript for the Book of the Month Club. But I don't have the last two items.
Betts still have Chris Cavalier's one for sale.
Just the submission manuscript for the Book of the Month Club though.
Original Wrightson artwork from Creepshow
Famed comic artist Bernie Wrightson was kind enough to donate this piece of original artwork to our non-profit theater company for this auction. It is his original painting, as it appeared in the 1982 Stephen King's Creepshow comic book (minus the lettering.)
The painting is on a hard canvas board and measures approx 13" x 17". It is signed by the artist.
