Two more anthology proofs.

The Living Dead (with Home Delivery):



A Life in the Cinema (introduction):



The ARC of A Life in the Cinema is different than the previous one I posted. The previous one was labeled as the "Launch Party Edition". There are some minor differences between the two.

Very impressive, John!

Very awesome collection, I saw that you have the two Regulator proofs do you also have the two Desperation proofs? Those 4 are the center piece of my small King proof collection.

Wonder how many collectors have all four,since the books are related. I made slipcses for mine and have the two corrected and two error books slipcased together. I may be strange but I like the older ones with crappy covers and just the facts printed on them or even just the spiral bound galleys. They seem more like a part of the book production process and less like a marketing tool to me.

[jhanic]

I agree. I also have the spiral bound manuscript proofs of both books. I like the fact that these are close to the most early versions of them, other than the manuscripts themselves. (I also have a copy of the Desperation manuscript. That sucker is about three-four inches thick at least!)

And a complete set of printers proofs of Cell:

Title page:



Page 13:



This latter may also be called blue lines. According to the seller, there were no more than 20 of these done. Most, I assume, were used by the printer and destroyed.
