Maybe I should have thrown this onto a new thread, maybe not idk-
Came across a reddit post that proofs for Fairy Tale are out. Pretty cool.
Even cooler, in the comments there's a link to the H&S proof, which looks to be set up as it's own limited edition.

That's too cool! I would love to own the limited one, yet i have still to see one of these for sale.
Either way, that's an awesome proof!

I believe the UK Fairy Tale S/L will be very special in deed. It looks like a beautiful book that almost matches the UK Proof pictured above.
Hope to see one in person one day.

Re: FAIRY TALE S/L by King
I think it will be too, who knows...it might be the only S/L for this novel which i believe to be highly unlikely but time will tell.
But currently i haven't heard/read any rumors about an US S/L.
As for recent sales on the secondary i have read that 3 copies sold privately; 1 for £1100, 1 for $1300 and 1 for £1250.
Who knows how many others sold theirs on the secondary but the three above are the ones that i know of.

Re: FAIRY TALE S/L by King
Great to have some data points for market value that's really helpful.
I will say that new limiteds usually have their initial release value and then settle (up or down) once the dust settles and all the collectors that HAD to have the book get their copy. After that some of where it settles is going to depend on how well the book is received and if a US limited edition is announced anytime soon.

Absolutely, it depends on different factors. We'll see. Hopefully it's a good novel.
