I've seen some comings and goings of lettered Red Dragon copies lately, and I have been in contact with a few of the great members here...always just slightly behind the curve, so to speak, when a copy pops up. I know that a lot of folks who have them ordered and coming in the fall are not looking to sell them immediately and I completely respect their desire to hold on to such a gorgeous edition. I just wanted to put a message out to all the good men and women on this forum and ask if over the coming months they're willing to sell their copy for a price that is not stratospheric, I'd be willing to work with a member to purchase a copy. I'm in no hurry, and waiting months is not an issue. On a related Suntup note, I was finally able to snag an elusive numbered copy of Misery from ruderabbit before joining others in a less-than-ideal employment situation. I wanted to thank ruderabbit for a great transaction. Thanks to everyone for reading this message and for helping me on my quest for my new "grail" book!

Hey folks - I work in one of Oregon's many prisons (one of fourteen!), but we house one of the largest libraries and only one of two walk-in prison libraries in the entire state. While my primary job is running a mail room, I sometimes substitute for the library coordinator so I get to spend some time in there with the inmates and the library clerks. We have a huge horror section and quite a few Stephen King fans among the population but we're missing quite a few of his books. I'd like to see a complete King section for the guys to catch up on their King fixes. While we have a wide range of offenders (as all prisons do), reading is one of the few outlets for a lot of these guys...some of whom are celled up for up to 23 hours a day. Needless to say...reading is a life saver for many and helps keep a lot of guys out of trouble or helping them gain an education. Plus, a lot are life-long King fans that have no money to buy the new titles.
Here are the books we are missing:
-The Long Walk
-Roadwork
-Christine
-Cycle of the Werewolf
-Tommyknockers
-Bag of Bones
-On Writing
-Secret Windows
-DT 7: The Dark Tower
-Fairthful
-Colorado Kid
-Blaze
-Blockade Billy
-Revival
-Finders Keepers
-Bazaar of Bad Dreams
-End of Watch
-Sleeping Beauties
-Outsider
-Elevation
-The Institute
If you have any extra copies...reading copies...paperbacks...ex-library copies...large print copies...beat up hardbacks with no dust jackets...etc...we will take them! (please no collectible editions). We even have an old guy who spends all day repairing and rebinding beat up editions so we'll seriously take anything! We will also take anthologies and books about King. I've donated quite a few but there are many more I'm sure they don't have. Please EMAIL ME at JonathanReitan@gmail.com as I can't acccess the PM's here during the day (my computer at work blocks me from logging in) and I can send you our address. THANK YOU for anyone that's able to help out!

I’m confused. I thought that when you obtained Dystopia, you had completed your Lettered collection.
I never stated that I had finished getting all the lettereds. LOL I WISH. What that was... was when King signed a letter and not a number. I needed Carrie and Dystopia forever to do this and got Carrie then Dystopia not long after. While that was going on I was trying to get the lettereds when they differed from the numbered. As you can see from my list.. all that is left is Romans. Then there are letters that are the same other than destination of number or letter. Hope that makes sense. After this list I would have Kings main body of work.. all number and letter. Hope I make some sense there Brian. haha

Please post pricing you are willing to pay for each one and I will see if this individual is interested in selling.
All are as new mint of course.
If the price is right they might sell more than the three I’m thinking of, its quite a collection.
I will not be adding an up charge.
In answer to the next question.. this individual does not have asking prices because the lettered are generally not for sale..
But if I have an offer to bring to them, they “might” sell

IMO, TGWLTG lettered should be valued higher. There were only 15 done (much like Danse Macabre) for private distribution. I'd say $2.5K

Mr. Cook asked our opinion and that is the only one I felt comfortable answering about. Yes I would be VERY comfortable paying $7500 for a lettered Gunslinger. Especially because people keep telling me a signed #'d one is worth $6500. An amount I am not willing to pay for a number. I have not seen a lettered Gunslinger for sale in a LONG time!!!!!
I truly appreciate your offer of a S/L Gunslinger 1 for $5450 with no slipcase. I think I said thank you, but I plan on waiting for a JOB and one with a slipcase. This is my holy grail and plan on saving and doing this one right. Besides the PS Publishing books it will be the MOST expensive book I ever bought.
Being laid off STINKS. $1500 - $2000 month missing from my budget each month.
