The number is the week of the year the printing was done. What do the gutter codes on early Doubleday books mean? - The accepted theory is that the letter in the Doubleday gutter code indicates the year the book was printed. The only exception to this would be the Dark Tower series from Donald M. Personally I believe this represents great value for collectors with a great upside potential in resale value if more collectors start seeking out PC copies. I have a limited edition book with "PC" instead of a number, how much is it worth? - Books labeled PC (Publisher's Copy) are currently selling for 10-30% less than their numbered counterparts. This is why the DJ is such an important piece of the books value. Often these BC editions will look very similar to an actual 1st edition except for the missing price on the DJ. BC editions are not the same a 1st trade editions and are generally not collectable. I have a copy of "Insert title here" and there's no price on the dustjacket, is this a 1st edition? - Any book without a price on the dustjacket is a book club (BC) edition. If your copy is missing a dustjacket it's almost never worth very much, if it's also not a first edition (and you can check whether it it or not by going to the appropriate section on the site), then it's only worth a couple dollars. The reason for this is that the early Doubleday books were made very poorly and the dust jackets were especially prone to ripping, so finding copies with good dust jackets is difficult.
I have a copy of " insert title here" and it's missing the dustjacket, how much is it worth? - Up to 90% of a book's value is in the Dustjacket, especially with early Stephen King works.
So add that amount to the value of your regular book. I have a regular copy of " insert title here" signed by SK, how much is it worth? - A genuine Stephen King signature usually adds between $200-$250 to the value of any book. Issues where pages are just missing though, make the book less readable and would lower the value up to 10-20% At best an upside down binding could add 5-10% if you found the right collector. Although some people do collect these misbound copies, in general they do not add to the value of the book. Upsidedown binding, missing pages, repeated pages & pages out of order are the most common types of misbindings. I have a misbound copy of a book, what is it worth? - Misbound copies do happen and can take many forms. Want to be notified about the latest news and updates?
