I won this on eBay.co.uk last week. It seems to be the scarcest book of this series of Doubleday reissues. Now, I'm not sure what to do. Should I keep it and get the other books as well, or should I sell it to someone who needs this book more than I do?
Keep it and tease the people looking for one.
I have been told that the print run of the french proof (of FDNS at least), should be of 250 copies. I wonder if this is the print run of all the proofs... but it surprises me that it's so much, as i have only seen a few go for sale.
Except mine, i only know of 2 french proofs :
- 2 copies of BAG OF BONES, with the reprint of King's letter on the cover. 1 is owned by a friend, the second one... i totally missed the ebay listing !
- 1 copy of BLAZE, that i bought off ebay.. and recieved it damaged : someone at the post office had used a knife or something to check my package and it got quite damaged...

I think you'd be surprised at how many proofs end up in the trash. A lot of people in the industry are fairly oblivious to what some of these things are worth.
Wow. That was my first though as well. Post it once-a-week to wind them up.Originally Posted by Randall Flagg
I totally agree. 90% of proofs are binned after 30 seconds of scanning by the reviewers.
Bio, I'm always on the lookout for the Holdorf Pet Sematary, even though I have one, lol. Good find!
I haven't laughed out loud in a while. I almost spit out my ale...thanks.Wow. That was my first though as well. Post it once-a-week to wind them up.

Bah, I still need it and The Shining.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
My PC case for The Shining. Chadbourne did the art in oil. It is of Jack bursting through the bathroom door. Also notice that I had Dolso leave the protruding lip off the case.
Jealous again.

Not a P&J, but some older newspapers with King stuff in them in decent condition. Click on the link in my signature for the info and to see the rest of my new additions!
Really great case and Chadbourne art! Wow!
What Was Your Scariest Moment? is an article to which King and others contributed. It's from the Oct. 6, 1986 issue of The Rock Hill Herald.
Very nice Mr. Flagg
I must have missed this by just a few hours.
