1st Edition Japanese Salem's Lot
I've gotta give you a hand on that post!!! Awesome!! LOLOriginally Posted by stroppygoblin
I suspect the seller is looking for a more handsome offer...
...Right! (rolls up his sleeves and throws down the Gauntlet…)
I don’t want to seem off-hand about this, bite the hand that feeds me or even point any fingers, but it’s now all hands on deck. Now, normally I’m a dab hand at these kind of puns and don’t mind getting my hands dirty, however the recent puns from other members has forced me to give a guiding hand.
It seems to me, the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing so I’d like to lend a hand and though I don’t want to be left with blood on my hands, it seems I am going to have to be heavy handed over this. I don’t want to over play my hand, but on the other hand i do know this game like the back of my hand and am going to take the law into my own hands.
As we know, the Devil makes work for idle hands and it’s better to have your hands full and have a hands on attitude. Be assured you are in safe hands. (please raise your hand if you need to interrupt me)
Having now gained the upper hand, I’d like to hand off to the next person. Let’s have a show of hands who thinks this nonsense should stop.

You must spread some love around before giving it to stroppy again. Or something with less eupherisims...
My fingers are all for the sale but my thumbs are opposed
Gerald's signed Carrie proof definitely belongs in this thread! Which reminds me - the signed/inscribed Carrie ARC that sold through Heritage Auctions some time ago - the inscription said it was the first book he ever signed. Was it dated before Gerald's proof?
*edit: I took the liberty of copying Gerald's pic of the Carrie proof that he recently posted in the proof thread and I added a pic of the inscription in the Carrie ARC I was referring to:
So it looks like the inscription to Flip and Karen wasn't the first after all. But this one and Gerald's are probably the first two (and maybe one that was signed to King's mother, as the story goes).

As some of you know.. my two King passions are IT and The Dark Tower. I love the art side of it and after half a year of searching and then begging (lol) I had the original artist who did the cover of the 1st of IT (which is the best King cover IMO) do me this wonderful piece of art. He is 88 years old and still has what it takes. According to Bob, it is the only time he has ever did this (he had no idea what a remarque was and after weeks of back and forth trying to educate him what it was... he said he would do the art and I could fold it up and stick it in the book as he would not deface the good... god love the guy, it was NOT going to be folded and put in my 25th anniversary book. The art itself is 11x14... there was no question that a pro was going to frame it!!!) and the original was long gone decades ago as it really had no value to anyone! I dealt with his daughter for most of the process as he can barely hear. A wonderful man in every sense of the word to do this for me. I display it proudly on my wallHere is what I believe the only original done for the cover IT to be in existence!

That is really nice and a great story to go along with it!
Great stuff David. I think Hutch has (or had) a 'Salem's Lot signed & dated October 17, 1975 so yours is likely the earliest.
The items from Jared are awesome. I wonder if at some point he will regret letting go of the SK correspondence and Shining presentation book. Possibly King's comments on the SL deluxe along with the rejection of The Shining left a bitter enough residue that Jared wanted to clean house, so to speak.
I'd probably be bankrupt.
Yeah this is awesome. Never even heard of this one.Love this. WOW.Presentation copy of IT
I would love to see some pics of, Sir Boome's "The Stand" contract again!!!

I bought the copy of IT from Stu Tinker at Betts. He had it listed as King's personal copy, so I asked King if he wanted it returned. Turned out it was probably prepared for someone with the publisher, though it's unclear who. The leather on the front has some scrapes, but it smells wonderful.

Love the IT cover art - definite one of a kind just begging for a SK signature.
Got to say that David's signed Gunslinger Orange Proof is a personal favorite. He actually let me see and hold it in DC - an awesome piece!
I totally agree with you... I was going to take it and have it signed when I was in Florida but did not want to chance it since he was only signing Revivals. I hope to someday... I think it would add so much value!

Very interesting, thanks for the info, about the smell that is!
You have a wonderful piece of art signed by the gentleman who created it. After all of the time and effort you, the artist and his daughter invested in making it happen why would you want to alter his original painting for an adjunct signature?I totally agree with you... I was going to take it and have it signed when I was in Florida but did not want to chance it since he was only signing Revivals. I hope to someday... I think it would add so much value!
This isn't meant as a criticism or judgment, just curious.
Never thought of it that way Ben... I have to admit... I kind of agree with what you are saying. Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate it brother. I really do...You have a wonderful piece of art signed by the gentleman who created it.
