Hello all, this is my first post to this forum.

I am a long time reader, fan, and collector of Stephen’s books and recently purchased a signed first edition Carrie for my collection (eBay link below). I was hoping you could verify one component of the story told to me. The seller claims that its provenance was a personal signed at the 5th World Fantasy Con. in Providence RI., late Oct. 1979.

So, my question is, was Stephen in attendance and signing at this event?
