if he ships EOTD in a bag like that, it's screwed.... :( That book will crease and chip if you breath in the same room as it.

I'm very pleased with the mail today!
Here is Stephen King's very first piece of published "national" non-fiction (obviously his "King's Garbage Truck" columns came first from college), a letter he wrote to TV Guide, published in July 1969 regarding TV violence. He would have been 21 when this was published. A beautiful copy!

Very interesting. Don't think I've seen that one before. Congrats.
This is one I got a couple days ago. It's not a "usual" proof, but it's the proof of the paperback cover of Cujo:

Not very expensive, and I have a few other PB cover proofs, but they're kind of neat.

I forgot to add a big thanks to Jonathon Reitan for the heads up on it!
John
I'm glad you snagged that one, John!!
Nice one John. Once again I hesitated on that one. Pleased you got it.
Good luck! Perhaps it will fit the envelope better, and won't be so endangered because of the heavy weight. We're working it out. He at least recognizes that there isn't a point in sending it back. He seemed apologetic. Hopefully the REALLY rare/old ones he had either got shipped more carefully or avoid the fate of this book. EDIT: He just refunded back the entire amount, no hassle. I WOULD buy from them again, I would just clarify shipping (as I will do with ALL sellers at this point) before buying.
Mainly just sad that there is one less Fine or Near Fine copy of The Stand out there than there was a week ago.
Congratulations, Jeremy!
I can't thank Tim enough for this:

I do love the artwork Ari. Great detail!
Glad it like it Ari. Good to see it arrived safely.
OK, a new Pride & Joy for me...pics were up on the Betts site awhile....I now own the complete matching Plant and Eyes of the Dragon S/L set all inscribed to Kay McCauley....I really went out on a limb for this item as I own the set to Kirby McCauley.....now I own BOTH Kirby and Kaybird!
David
GREAT acquisition!
Congratulations David! That's great. That was a really desirable set for me but way out of my budget.
Very cool set, David. Congrats!!
Kay McCauley was Kirby's sister and they worked together to represent King early in his career.
Steve often referred to her as "Kaybird". One of the inscriptions on the set was to "Kaybird".
It is widely speculated that King took a liking to Kay early on...the progression as to the personalization of the inscriptions would support this view.
