I bought one at some point in the past, but I paid more than the $20 figure that Bob mentioned. It was probably near the end when they were running out, I don't recall the details.

Damn, even more than 15 years after publishing they'd sell dustjackets.
Are those the same as these "unfolded" one which pop-up, now and then?
I have an accepted offer on a house and need to sell some books....less to move and more money to move with. Added a few books since last time I posted. Shoot me an offer and we can deal. Send me your email via PM and I will send pics of books requested. I may list up some more if these sell, if not then they are going on feebay by the end of this upcoming week...

Hey guys! As you know, I'm an avid proof collector - not in the same league as John, Bob, Mike, Hutch, Terry and a few others but my collection has grown substantially. Thanks to David at Betts and especially to Alan, I have gathered some pretty scarce ones.
I really love collecting proofs. But lately I've been thinking about getting more trade 1st editions of a bunch of other authors (not to mention the elusive UK 1st edition of CARRIE) and I don't have the financial means to do that while also mantaining my proof collecting habit, especially since most of the proofs I still need are pretty pricey.
So there two paths I can take, right? Either I put my proof collection in hibernation mode or I simply sell what I have and live happily ever after as a collector of trade editions. I have been giving it some thought and I decided to go for it and sell what I have. I am still young and there may come a time when I'll be in the position to acquire a new proof collection (and if not I will still be at peace with my decision).
Please PM for pricing, condition, pics etcetera when you're interested - I'd like to play even and get for them what I paid for them, but layaways are certainly a possiblity!
*edit* updated list in post #1453 of this thread.
Man, this comes as a real shock!
Some of those items you had were amazing!
Personally I prefer trade editions over proofs any time, but you were on your way to an awesome collection!
Good luck ! I'm sure some proofs will go fast.
Correction: have gone fast....

Hey Everybody -
I just picked up Michaël's US Eyes of the Dragon proof, so now I'm looking for the accompanying art packet(s). If anybody has an extra they wouldn't mind selling, pls PM me (I'm on Germany time, so 6 hrs ahead of US East Coast, in case I don't answer immediately). I know they are few and far between, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. Bob and John probably have a case of them stashed in the attic somewhere
George
I only wish I did. I've just got the one.
John
Wow Bob, now that is depressing ... that pretty much dashes my hopes completely if you don't have one. Bob, John, either of you have any idea how many were produced and distributed? Time for another tally perhaps?
George
Absolutely no idea. I think Hutch has one or two, but as for anyone else, who knows?
John
Jerome -
Came across this today on Abe, thought you might be interested.

Saw it before (1-2 years ago). Way too high priced for me, plus it wasn't inscribed to me, but to someone with the same name. I might consider it at 1/3 the listed price. Still nice of you to mention it. Thanks.
You're welcome; I thought it was high too, but you never know what somebody might be interested in.
I don't like that signature too much. The "g" looks bad.
John

The eyes of the dragon S/L. Just wondering if anyone's interested. I don't have it yet but it's on the way. I'll most likely accept any offer over $600 + shipping. I think that's reasonable. It's not a PC copy.
only a few more days left on a few of my ebay auctions.....a couple of good books at super low prices!!!
