Now is the time to own this extraordinary piece of Dark Tower history, the series that Stephen King considers his "magnum
opus".
It has an enhanced value because the demand for this set exceeds the supply, due to its importance, scarcity, age, and condition.
Future purchasing rights for new owner
The new owner of this
Dark Tower collection will get first purchasing rights for the same matching 616 number in the event that an additional Dark Tower book is published by Donald M. Grant Publishers.
Book One is now over 40 years old
Originally published in 1982, and now over 40 years old, "The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger" was the first book in the series that started it all . Very few copies have survived in this condition, which makes it even more remarkable considering it's a LETTERED Edition in the ideal Fine/Fine/Fine condition with the original slipcase.
Book One will represent the pinnacle of the collection in your library. This book by itself is over a $15,000 value.
About the collection
These true first
editions were originally published by the specialty publisher, Donald M. Grant, primarily in the following 3 states ( not including the extra versions of the editions):
- First Edition (unsigned)
- Signed Artist Edition
- Signed Limited Edition (signed by the author & artist)
Many of these editions have now become increasingly scarce. The scarcity is created because each volume is signed by Stephen King, in the lowest limitation and highest quality format possible.
18 Autographs
Personally signed by Stephen King (9x) along with all the illustrators, Michael Whelan (3x), Jae Lee, Phil Hale, Ned Dameron, Dave McKean, Berni Wrightson, and Darrel Anderson.
The ideal Dark Tower collection for the avid Stephen King collector. A complete and matching set of 12 volumes. An immaculate collection of fantasy literature that is 34 years in the completion.
Each volume is splendidly illustrated with a full-page color illustration and each signed by King and the illustrator. A complete partial-matching numbers set.
A complete set in Nine Books / Twelve Volumes:
1) The Dark Tower: The
Gunslinger Signed Lettered Edition "AH" of 52
2) The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three S/L #616
3) The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands S/L #616

Collector's Note: Book 1 was limited to only 500 copies, so it's not possible to assemble a complete matching numbers set with the #616 books. The signed lettered "AH" is the ideal choice.
