Rare Oversized Proof Copy in Traycase
The Secretary of Dreams, Volume One [Proof]
Publication: Baltimore, MD: Cemetery Dance, 2006. Uncorrected Proof.
Notes: Cemetery Dance's rare advance proof of King's illustrated story collection matches the oversized dimensions of the published book and includes the complete trade edition dust jacket.
Released as a test of the ambitious production values planned for the limited editions, this proof showcases Glenn Chadbourne's detailed artwork, reproduced in black and white, and King's text. The publisher produced very few proofs at this scale, making this format particularly uncommon for a Cemetery Dance limited edition.
281 pages. 9-1/4 by 12-1/4 inches.
Edition + Condition: Fine advance proof in decorated wrappers with a fine example of the trade edition dust jacket, housed in a near fine traycase showing minor edge denting. Acquired by Tom Garner, a Cemetery Dance lifetime subscriber, likely directly from the publisher rather than through standard review channels.
