That`s a nice one too, isn`t it?
Well it sold already -but personally an ex-library copy without a DJ that has been rebound?

Oh, you are right. I don`t have noticed that the library have maked this on her own. I thought these are possible official copies from Doubleday for the libraries.
In that case the price was sure still high enough but I liked the look of it and when it would have been a special official copy it would be worth collecting imo.
Yea, it have been sold for that price. ;)

Re: On that journey

Tcha, any time recently BCEs and BCEs again.
But on that exciting (sometimes also annoying) journey to get my first piece of (future) collection, you stumble into this and that which are interesting things, what i want to share with you if you like and if it`s okay within this thread?
Maybe it`s fun to talk about and discuss it and a good chance also to extend knowledge about this very special book and edition. ?

First one, one that I really wanted to share with you because I`ve seen that version the first time: 7.95$ with yellow(!) board.

- Oh well I don`t know what to say to that but here`s another one of that library-copy again. ;) 280$ this time.
BUT...this time with a P6 DJ! :o

- Just an ordinary U.S. BCE but of course, in U.K. a rare one. ?
What`s interesting about this version and what instantly have catched my eye is the flower design which seemed to me something different - and that green "smoke" is for sure! Wonder what version this is..

- And lastly a recently sold P6 copy for a price which is far too high for that. What do you mean?

Just discovered a little bit off-topic one,
but if you think (like I`ve done) the prized book of King is that very one Carrie First Edition P6 then take a look on this:

Now sold for 6.000 $. Unbelievable, awesome one!
