Congrats! Bob, been on my hunt list too!
YES VERY INTERESTING and not something I keep as tight an eye out for as I now will.Originally Posted by jhanic
Interesting! Thanks for posting.I have been looking for this little journal for many years (at least 10) and this is the first one I have found. Yes it has coffee stains, a sticker remnant and some writing on the cover. I wish it were in better condition but I am thrilled to have a copy in any condition at all. DREAMWORKS: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly, Volume 1, Number 4, Summer 1981. This particular issue deals with nightmares and King contributed a short essay on a recurring dream that he has.
I don't know what it is sometimes. I don't think this is particularly rare and it seems every other issue of this journal is available for sale. It wasn't expensive and, now that I have one, they'll probably start popping up all over the place. But, for whatever reason, I never could seem to find one. Really happy to have one even in lesser condition.

I will have to check a couple stores I plan to visit this weekend on my way to Sarasota.
I've been visiting a couple stores which have had some unusual or uncommon things.
No great King finds yet however perhaps just not looking hard enough. Just a matter of timing... and some knowledge like what is shared here.
OK.
THANK YOU!

The awesome deal that wasn't!
I am at the Strand Boostore in NYC looking at the dollar books outside and I spot what looks like one of those early Doubleday proofs that Carlosdetweiler (Bob) has on his collection. I can see the top of it, the words UNCORRECTED PROOF, but not the title. Color is similar to the "Salem's Lot proof. I am really excited, like OMG!
So I pick it up, and it's a tall Doubleday proof alright.

Not King, but it was only a dollar it's signed by the author.
Oh, and I also found an Uncorrected proof of Alice Walker's The Cushion in the Road.
Oh Well...

Thanks to Raymond (SirFolio16) for these DT Limiteds.........
Thanks to David at Betts.......
Awesome pick ups pal!
OK, this might be a STRETCH to qualify as that Awesome Deal, but being Caretaker of Betts does put me in the position sometimes of being shown some awesome books....Correct, King did not sign either the 999 S/L or Lettered editions, but a couple years ago, a guy in Maine contacted me and told me that he was the (and I will bastardize the spelling here) anesthesiologist in hospital where King had multiple surgeries following his accident in 1999. This guy was a King fan and brought several books in for King to sign as he lay in his hospital bed...one of which was a Lettered 999 which this Maine resident sold to me for $340....I don't know if I have the ONLY Lettered edition signed by King, but if not there can't be too many!I think 999 was the first S/L book I ever bought. I was in awe of the production standards (high quality binding, gilt, the little ribbon!). Hell it might have been the first book I ever bought that came with a slipcase. It holds a special place in my heart and I would LOVE to get both King and Oates to fill in those conspicuous blanks.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Very, very nice, David!

David,
You are correct, that's not an awesome deal......it's an OUTSTANDING DEAL. I believe you probably own the only one signed.

I have the S/L 999 signed by King. When he signed it he told me that he had only signed a couple of them.
