Hello all. What are the chances of finding a dj for a nice Carrie first edition I have? Also how much is the value affected without it? Any info much appreciated

You can buy a book club version for a nice DJ, or there is a company who makes facsimile copies. They are marked "facsimile".
www.dustjackets.com ($22)
I doubt very much if you could find a perfect 1st edition DJ without buying it with the book. Hundreds of collectors want to buy perfect copies for their 1st editions, including me.
The DJ is 90% of the value.

Thanks! What is a guesstimate of the value of a legit Carrie first edition with the p6 without dj and will getting a book club jacket add value?

I would only be guessing on the price. The book club jacket adds no value other than it looks good on your shelf.
I think it would be hard to find a buyer of a 1st edition without a DJ.
