So it's not really and ARC, in the way that it differenciates it from the final book?
(Letter aside)

No, it's a trade HC copy.

Which is an historically common way of providing an advance reading/review copy. I have several review copies that are first trade editions with a "review" letter included. (Alas none are SK) There is also often a promotional photo or other advertisement included.

I love the lettered edition well at least the traycase cause that is all I have seen so far. I just can't justify paying $2500.00 for a lettered edition when pretty much most all of them just mostly has a fancy jazzed up traycase that you are paying for. I sorry but that is the way I see it. Having said all of that I guess if I had the money I would be buying them too.

Just snagged this......think it was on eBay for literally a couple of minutes.

Based on the recent auctions on eBay as well as the market value of the Gift Edition, I consider this an awesome deal....

**Randall Flagg** · 05-26-2014 05:21 PM

I think so.
Congratulations.

**Jimimck** · 05-26-2014 05:40 PM

Yeah that's a great deal considering current trends on the IT publications.

**bdwyer19** · 05-26-2014 05:57 PM

Awesome deal, Tim! Very jealous!!

Regarding condition, it is better than Near Fine.

BUT.......pay attention to the last pic.........seller didn't know what he had.

Can't see the last two photos

**AKC** · 05-26-2014 06:07 PM

Sorry! I cleaned up my Photobucket Library and deleted the two pics that were linked!

The "1st Edition" Carrie that I bought on eBay was signed by King! The seller didn't even know it! Crazy right?

Throw the S/L IT on top of it for $620.00 and it was a good week for me regarding "awesome deals"!!!

**Lot guy** · 05-26-2014 06:31 PM

Congrats AKC!

**sharki69** · 05-26-2014 06:39 PM

Hello TDT guys.
The TDT.ORG appears now at the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) site.
The ILAB is the (international) mother organization of all country associations of antiquarian booksellers (well, those who get accepted into their various associations).
The ILAB has picked up my interview about my book collection and since, as you already know, I mentioned the TDT in the interview (at the end of part 1), is now getting good exposure in this important site, and I’m proud of it.
Take a look guys, see our unique home nesting in the ILAB exclusive site. Be proud!

I rolled the dice on filing a claim with the USPS. They sent me a check for 50 bucks. I was hoping for more, but tbh, I may not be able to justify it very well. End result is that I paid about the same as this one, and I'd take my slipcase over the damage/wear on it:
