I picked up the unsigned edition of Salem's Lot from Centipede when it came out (the signed edition sold out by the time I found out about it). I understand that there were some separate sets of the photographs included with the signed edition, but there were also additional ones that were later sold by Centipede - also long gone. I'm looking for a set to put with my edition.
If anyone has one, PM me or feel free to drop me a line at Tober138@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Salem's lot photograph set?

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
Good luck in finding one. I decided, wrongly, to pass them up when they came out and have regretted it ever since. I'm still looking, too!

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
I seem to remember seeing one for sale recently. I didn't realize they were that rare, or I would have mentioned it here on the site. I'll keep my eyes open from now on.

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
I can't remember the exact amount, but I believe there were somewhere between 25-50 photo sets available. (Closer to 25 I think).
Jerry had some left over unbound photos after the production of the S/L and he sold off a few to people that asked plus a chunk to Betts Books which resold them for $50 if I remember right.
Considering there's 600 copies of the S/L edition out there, I don't expect to see extra photo sets outside of ebay once in a blue moon.
If I come across any I'll post the info here.

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
HI.
I got my set from BETTS BOOKS , i phoned on the off chance and i got a set about 2 weks later .
Before asking BETTS i got intouch with centipede press and was told by a lady [cant remember her name ] that the photo set would be worth more than the ltd ed book eventually because of their rarity.
Only time will tell.
I have the unsigned book but i also have the fantastic ltd traycase [supplied by the collector] and the photos sit great in the photo holder inside the case ,lovely set.

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
Just a clarification, the illustrations are bound into the book. Separate sets were not included with the S/L.Tober138 wrote:I picked up the unsigned edition of Salem's Lot from Centipede when it came out (the signed edition sold out by the time I found out about it).

Thanks,
I also bought my separate set from Betts and picked up the sweet aftermarket traycase from Tomas.
Good luck with your search!

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
At one time the number was 25 photo sets that Jerad of Centipede Press had left over. Somewhere along the line I heard a max of 35. No matter how you look at it, it's a small run for Jerry Uelsmann prints.
If you have a complete set with pictures, traycase & book. You have 1 of 35 only available. Well, that's how I have it listed in my book software.

Re: Salem's lot photograph set?
I was lucky enough to get a set of the photographs a couple months ago. I got it with one of the "book blocks" that Jerad sold later on. The "book block" is a set of pages that have been folded and gathered (F&G) but not trimmed. I already had the book and associated traycase, so this REALLY completed my set for this edition.
