Sweet collection. Could you provide a better picture of those providence letters with the seals on them? They see quite unique in an of themselves.
I believe those are from the limited Overlook Connection/Chadbourne remarque collection. You can get a better look on the Overlook site if that helps.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Sure, here is the providence letter for the Carrie remarque. I 've also included a picture of the actual remarque in the book as well as the Chadbourne internal seal with the limited no. written in the eyes.
As Merlin correctly states these are from the limited Overlook Connection/Chadbourne collection. PM me if you are interested in them, I am willing to give members a great deal on these (substantially less than you would pay to start the collection from scratch AND you get no 3!)
UPDATE - These have now been Sold!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I think Carrie's mom finally got the point.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Beautiful work. I appreciate the offer, but I tend to try to get remarques from the artist who has done the illustration on each particular book. These are quite interesting. Thanks as well Merlin. I had not really kept in touch with Overlook, though I did get many books from them in my early collecting years. I had not seen these.
Just had some photos sent for my recent purchases currently being stored in my US offices...
1st Up The Shining 1st/1st - not mint by any stretch but still pretty reasonable. The cover has the expected nicks and bumps but the book is pretty clean and tight.

UPDATE: I now have a 1st/1st - This 1st/2nd is available for Trade or purchase - PM me if interested

Christmas came early! 2 new arrivals...
No 1 is a 1st/1st Talisman, not particularly difficult to obtain, but this one is very clean and as a bonus is flat signed by Straub. (Replaces my 1st/3rd printing)

Nice additions Stroppy - I take it you're going to send the G/E Doctor Sleep off to Vincent for remarquing independent of the CD offering (well thought out if so, as you'll definitely get a bit more variation than the three takes done for the CD insert pieces)
