Product Details
This listing offers the Gift Edition of Stephen King’s Desperation, published by Donald M. Grant Publisher, Inc., renowned for their fine‑press craftsmanship and high‑end production values. This particular copy is elevated far beyond the standard Gift Edition through the inclusion of an original Don Maitz remarque, making it one of the scarcest and most desirable variants produced.
Only 19 remarques were created for this edition, each one a unique piece of hand‑drawn artwork. This volume features Remarque #8, confirmed on the limitation page.
In addition, this offering includes:
- The original Errata Sheet issued by Donald M. Grant
- A limited-edition Don Maitz art print, signed and numbered #8, matching the remarque number
Don Maitz—celebrated for his fantasy and horror illustration—created these remarques individually, ensuring each is a one‑of‑a‑kind original artwork. The matching numbered art print adds exceptional provenance and collector value.
This is a standout presentation of Desperation, ideal for collectors who prioritize rarity, original illustration, and complete ephemera from Grant’s fine‑press productions.

All Signed Products Have Been Authenticated and Verified with Lifetime Provenance Validation
High-level authentication is an advanced discipline that operates at the intersection of long-term expertise, detailed observation, and controlled verification standards. All items are verified for its origin, composition, production context, and historical alignment. First editions, first printings, and original works require a different level of scrutiny.
Extremely Limited Availability
Once a specific item, edition, or production run exits the market, it cannot be reproduced, reissued, or replaced. Many pieces offered here originate from private collections assembled decades ago and have been permanently removed from normal circulation, placing them beyond conventional availability. When verifiable rarity is combined with expert authentication grounded in over 30 years of specialization, these items represent asymmetric investment opportunities, where limited supply, protected provenance, and sustained collector demand create meaningful long-term appreciation potential.
