Scars, by Richard Christian Matheson (Introduction):



And a complete set of printers proofs of Cell:

Title page:



Page 13:



This latter may also be called blue lines. According to the seller, there were no more than 20 of these done. Most, I assume, were used by the printer and destroyed.

Ubris, Fall 1968, with King's Strawberry Spring and Harrison State Park '68:



My first issue of Ubris!

Sweet, did you get a good deal on that one? It's rarely available.

[jhanic]

I got a decent deal, considering the condition (VG+) on it from Betts. I agree, these Ubris issues are really hard to find.

I got this over the weekend. It has a rather interesting provenance. This is a manuscript that was sent from Ralph M. Vincinanza's office (King's agent at the time. He passed away suddenly in 2010.) to a Dutch publisher. The publisher donated it to a Dutch Stephen King fan group which sold it. The eventual owner then sold it to me.

The first page of the story 1922:



And the first page of the story Big Driver:




Thanks, Niels!
