Very nice! Can't wait to see what else you have pending permission to post!

Nothing in the works right now, unfortunately. Next year will be another year, though.

Very cool! What's the difference between this one and the previous Carrie proof?

The covers, mainly.

My latest:



And one of the pictures:



Although this is one of the unbound proofs from Cemetery Dance, it doesn't have the "1st Proof" or "2nd Proof" printed on it. There was/is another of these on eBay that also didn't have the printing.

Just one more of the CD unbound proofs to go now--Doctor Sleep!

More amazing stuff.

Great finds, John! You know we love you on this forum.

Awesome acquisition, John (The Proof Man!!!)

I picture John going down lots of dark creepy alleys and meeting strangers with long trench coats with ARCs and such stuck to the inside of said trench coat.

Close, sometimes!

If you don't mind me asking, how do you get these things? I mean, I imagine you have to buy older stuff, but do publishers like CD, knowing you collect proofs and ARCs, send them your way from time to time?

I have developed some contacts that are able to supply me with the new proofs. Otherwise, I'm known pretty much as the "proof guy" so I get offers occasionally from other collectors. I also haunt eBay, ABE, etc. for items.
