Awesome, thank you! I've added it to the master list and created a page for it in the catalog. I wonder if that thing actually sold for $799?

Saw that the catalog didn't have an entry for the Doctor Sleep Trade ARC so added it in there.

I don't recall seeing US or UK proofs for If It Bleeds...and I'm not sure that I've seen any offered for sale. There's nothing on the exhaustive Proof/ARC archive, either. If anyone has a picture handy of either proof and would post, I would be greatly appreciative! And if I've missed something obvious, please feel free to hurl insults my way!

In case you still need this:

Thank you! I'll get that added to the catalog later today.

If It Bleeds added to the catalog; thank you for the image mkberger (and positive rep sent!)

I still have my UK Proof, if you guys need details

Absolutely Jeremy, thanks; the only thing I see for UK is John's entry, "If It Bleeds trade cover (unknown numbered copies)" but there's nothing in the catalog. PMing you my email address for details and photos/scans.

A recent scan of the LATER proof:

Full throttle proof.... VERY RARE. I’m
Told hardly any were printed

A recent scan of the LATER proof:

Clicked on it and saw that you also have blue proofs of Elevation, The Institute and The Outsider; none of those are in the catalog, I'll get them added in later today. Looks like we need to review the master list and bump it against the catalog, see what else is missing.

Kris, are you asking or telling? Don't think I've seen one yet, unsure ... but maybe.

It has artwork that’s not in the finished product too. I have been told it is the rarest Joe Hill proof. Less than 5 out there and since there is a king signed version... figured it would be a good one. I am selling it. It’s going up on Betts today I think. I gave David the sale

Let me know. I may have more scans buried somewhere in the Archives.

This is beautiful. Never saw it.

Updated the catalog and the TOC for Elevation, UK If It Bleeds, The Institute, Later, and The Outsider.

I would put this in the same level as CD proofs for king books. Somewhat scarce but their scarcity doesn't drive prices like original publisher proofs.

Sold for $900. Seemed to be some demand...

[George at C-Springs]

Nice, good sale.

So I'm undertaking a review of John's Page 1 Master List and bumping it against the catalog Manuscripts, Proofs and ARCs section, with the goal of identifying what's missing and then updating with new entries, photos, descriptions, etc. I'm five minutes into it and already have questions; this is definitely going to be a group effort, so as I post requests if you have the books in question please take the time to PM me with the appropriate data or post it here. Anyone providing info will be credited in the catalog!

First up:

US Cujo: List description reads "Cujo Olive green cover", while the catalog reads "State: uncorrected proof (gray wrappers)". I have a copy myself and would say it's definitely grey, but maybe under poor lighting it could be mistaken for Olive Green. Maybe. Not as olive green as, say, The Eyes of the Dragon that's for sure, but it's a possibility. I'm not aware of an Olive Green Cujo, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Anyone? If not, I believe the list description should be changed to match the catalog description.

UK Carrie "tan cover extremely rare" and UK Carrie "off-white cover extremely rare": Neither of these books has a photo or description in the catalog; do you have a copy?

The UK Carrie proofs I believe Gerald posted and do not know of another person that owns them?

Don't hesitate to compare with Zelig's listing : http://zelig.io/

Thanks for the reminder Jeremy, I hadn't been on there in a long time. Just checked, and look at ALL those pretty Carrie's! Dropped Paul a note requesting permission to steal images and descriptions to use in the catalog and he said yes, so away we go!

If you need any images of the 1st State US long Carrie Proof let me know. Thanks for taking on the task of keeping up the proof section George!

Steve (ur2ndbiggestfan) reached out to let me know he had in hand what he was almost certain was a Cujo green proof, but he wanted to look at it today under natural light. I recommended putting it side-by-side with TEOD for comparison.

Here's the results:



He was completely surprised to see a total color change to grey! I had the same happen to me the first time I handled a Dolan's Cadillac proof, it was absolutely brown until the seller pulled out the brown and we put them side-by-side and voila, it changed to blue. Like Steve said, welcome to the Twilight Zone!

We're GTG for the cover of the white galley proof Matt, it's already listed and shown in the catalog; if the spine or back happen to have any markings we'd be happy to add that as well!

I enjoy just reading this thread and learning about all of these proofs...
