I sent a message to the seller and told him that he should contact King and complain because he spelled his last name wrong.

Life is a garden...dig it!
This is the response I got from the seller:
"Check any of his autographs; anywhere, and you will notice that this is how he signs his name. For what reason; I don't know. It was signed not long after the release of this book in Massechusetts or New England, or one of those upper states, in a bookstore. This was a gift from my brother-in-law who attended the book-signing while on a trip."
I responded back with : Stephen KING does not spell his last name "KAIG".
Life is a garden...dig it!
I'm surprised at you people. Clearly what happened here is the seller's brother-in-law made a time machine and travelled back to a time when King was doing an especially copious amounts of drugs, got the signature, and then gave it away. Now the recipient is selling this fine book WITH a COA. A COfuckin'A! Some people just don't want to believe.
That's got to be it Brice!
I am so ashamed I doubted that seller.

Yeah, I couldn't say either way regarding O'nan's sig, but that King is just terrible.
My 3rd grader could fake King's sig better than that.
And he doesn't even know cursive.

I like how this bidder, k***r, bids to find the high bid amount then retracts his bid.
13 bid retractions in the last 30 days, 2 on the Stand S/L, 1 yesterday & 1 today.
Talk about BS

Maybe he needs a keyboard with bigger number keys so he stops entering the wrong amount each time. I could see how once might be an honest mistake but to do it 13 times in 30 days, come on!!!
Anyone see this?

Signed in the same silver ink as the s/l though...probably an unnumbered variant from that edition...
Yeah, good deal for an authentic signature...but can't say I'd be that excited about it at any price.
So what do you thing about it?

It's def. legit...sig. matches the style from that time, as does the inscription.
But you'd need to spend the money for a first edition to get a dustjacket w/a price...if you wanted a signed edition, it's still not a bad price...not a great one either. The book's kind of beat up, but a decent d/j would cover that up.
If it were just a case of a beat up looking book, I would agree with you Rahfa, but it looks to me that the actual binding of the book has been compromised along the interior of the spine. The last picture clearly shows where the endpapers have started to spilt and this indicates a seperation of the spine from the book. Plus there is obvious water damage to the pages when you see the edge of the book. It may not be extensive damage, but I feel it's enough to warrant a lower price than it currently has. However, that's MY price. Someone obviously feels the book is worth that much and as long as they are happy with the purchase when the auction is over, that's really all that matters.

According to Barry Levin there were approx 20 copies.
"This book was originally limited to 52 LETTERED copies and 1,250 NUMBERED copies. With about 20 out-of-series (unlettered and unnumbered) copies produced to provide back-up in case of damage to in-series copies."
Sooooo, that would make an out-of-series volume more rare than an lettered copy.
