Book Collection : Dan

[Dan]

I finally took some photos. I am starting with the wide view of my library. Yes, I know there is Wonder Woman stuff on the wall. My wife and I recently swapped her craft room and my former library and I haven't had time to remove it yet.

Nice collection you have there Dan.
I love a wall full of books!

[Dan]

Here are a couple of closer shots of my better books.

[Dan]

Thanks Noal! I have literally only been collecting since maybe November. I have been reading for years, but always purchased the paperbacks because they were cheaper.

[harrison ryan]

Great stuff, man! Your Stephen King bookcase reminds me a lot of my own.

[ELazansky]

Nice stuff Dan. What version of The Catcher in the Rye do you have? I see it to the left of Carrie on another shelf. Is it just a reprint (like the super rare 49th printing that I have :dance: )?

[needfulthings]

WOW! THATS A LOT OF BOOKS IN 4 MONTHS.

[Merlin1958]

Very handsome collection!!!!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[biomieg]

Looks great! And I like how you displayed the Blockade Billy baseball card.

[Dan]

Nice stuff Dan. What version of The Catcher in the Rye do you have? I see it to the left of Carrie on another shelf. Is it just a reprint (like the super rare 49th printing that I have :dance: )?

I will check when I get home. I'm fairly certain its a BOMC version. Very good book, though.

[Dan]

Looks great! And I like how you displayed the Blockade Billy baseball card.
Thanks! It cost $1.50 for the case and stand at the local baseball card shop.

[biomieg]

I should have known :) but I'm sure I would have a hard time finding something like that in my not-so-baseball-minded country.

[Shannon]

You remind me of myself when i started collecting. But with more focus, lol. Nice collection, i look forward to seeing how it grows. :)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Wow Dan, GREAT Wonder Wo---uh, I mean Stephen King collection!

[Dan]

Nice stuff Dan. What version of The Catcher in the Rye do you have? I see it to the left of Carrie on another shelf. Is it just a reprint (like the super rare 49th printing that I have :dance: )?

I confirmed that I do, in fact, have a BOMC edition of Catcher in the Rye. It was printed in 1951 with the same DJ as the original. I bought it because I like the look of the book, wanted to read it and it was only $5.

Cool...my copy has the original DJ style as well. One of my favorite books of all time.

[The Library Policeman]

Collection looks great, Dan. I like the way you have it displayed too. Impressive stuff!

[Ben Staad]

Very nice collection. Congrats and please keep us updated.

[olverts]

Very nice collection Dan !!!

[bdwyer19]

Good looking collection Dan. Now that you've ventured out into getting some of the gift editions, you'll be amazed how addictive collecting will become. You'll be getting S/Ls in no-time!

[Jimimck]

They look awesome all together in the bookcases. I also like the stand for the blockade card. I've got mine in a cardholder too so think I might try and find a stand for it too.

[Dan]

A couple more to add.
Shardik was purchased at the local used book store for $7.50. It is remainder marked but otherwise in great condition.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/shardik.jpg

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/shardik2.jpg

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/shardik3.jpg

Vampyrrhic by Simon Clark was $10 at the same book store.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/Vampyrrhic.jpg

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/Vampyrrhic2.jpg

Here is my LOTR set. Rough condition, but they were only $1 each. They are good reading copies.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/LOTR.jpg

[Ben Staad]

Love the J.R.R. books. Those look like a classic (and beloved) set of books should look...well read.

[DanHocker]

I have that exact set of Tolkien books, minus the guide to middle earth. But I have The Sillmarillion and Untold Tales. Mine are in a lot worse condition though.

[Stockerlone]

A very nice collection !!!!!

[Dan]

Thanks everyone!

Here's the books I got from Betts on Tuesday.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8948s.jpg

Like I said, nothing out of the ordinary, but needed to fill some holes in my starting collection.

[ELazansky]

Every book is important to YOUR collection, and that's what really matters. Looks like you're off to a great start!

[jhanic]

You have some nice items there. As Eric says, they're important to you. That's what counts!

John

[Shannon]

I love getting packages in the mail. Nowadays I don't get any packages. :(

Congrats on the hole fillers. :)

[Cook]

Dan, nice haul from betts.
Congrats

[Merlin1958]

I LOVE LOTR!!! My favorite book ever!!!!! I have a few choice, and affordable, editions!!!! Good stuff!!!!!!! I can appreciate!!!

Slipcase came last week, I just now got around to putting up a picture.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_0004s.jpg

[Jimimck]

Nice slipcase Dan. Don't you hate it when you finally decide you might want the slipcases from CD but they have stopped selling them lol

[Dan]

Nice slipcase Dan. Don't you hate it when you finally decide you might want the slipcases from CD but they have stopped selling them lol

That would be the reason I just went ahead and purchased this slip case, even if it's for the first trade edition. Maybe I'll have a signed copy some day and need it.

[Shannon]

Nice New Additions!

I like the new books. I don't know how people collect other authors and books and publishers, lol. All my money goes towards SK stuff, lol. Good stuff. :)

[Dan]

My new stuff this weekend.

IT Portfolio #97. This is amazing quality. I'm very impressed.
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8957s.jpg
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8959s.jpg

I also received this signed copy of Lisey's Story from PSPublishing. It's a 3rd edition, but my first King signature.
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8960s.jpg
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8962s.jpg

Picked this up for $1.67
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8964s.jpg

My wife bought me a bunch of Stephen King Comics. Today was buy one get one.
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_8965s.jpg

[Garrell]

Very nice stuff, love that portfolio, damn I should have got one!

[bdwyer19]

Nice additions. Congrats on your first signed King book!!

[Ben Staad]

Great new additions. Congrats on the SK signature and I love the cover on "N". Good stuff.

[Dan]

Now that I'm fairly confident the signature is authentic, I will add this to my collection. I picked it up for $2.50 at a used book store in the clearance section. I'm not sure they knew what they had when they put it their, but i'm sure it's worth more than what I paid.

[Dan]

Congrats, Dan! Where you able to place the matching order for the 12?

Yes, I'm looking forward to getting it!

[The Library Policeman]

Very nice, Dan.

[Ricky]

Congrats on all your cool new stuff, Dan!

[Brice]

I am jealous of your Passage. I thought it was hyped so much that I expected to be disappointed. It was fantastic though.

[Cook]

Super Congrats on the Passage !

[biomieg]

I loved The Passage and even though I sort of decided not to get 'special' editions of authors other than King, I wish I had ordered this book when it was announced. I love the cover. Congratulations with a great acquisition!

[Jimimck]

Yeah The Passage is one I've been kicking myself about for ages. Glad to hear there are smarter people than I out there :-)

Nice pick up pal.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice PASSAGE. I just started reading it yesterday. I'm only on page 10 but so far I like it.

[Dan]

Thanks everyone. I've downloaded it from the local library to read on my iPad so I don't ruin it. I also purchased a trade edition of The Passage with a signed tipped in page. I will get pictures soon.

[Cook]

Thanks everyone. I've downloaded it from the local library to read on my iPad so I don't ruin it. I also purchased a trade edition of The Passage with a signed tipped in page. I will get pictures soon.

Are you going to be able to get the future matching S/L'd from CD ?

This is the Friday the 13th Grab Bag from Cemetery Dance
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_9002s.jpg

PC Signed Limeted of Camp Pleasant from Richard Matheson was included in the grab bag. The only damage is the slip cover seems to be slightly out of alignment. I can probably correct this with I put the cover on it.
http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_9003s.jpg

[Shannon]

A nice bundle of goodies!

[Brice]

Congratulations! Some very cool books. I have never heard of that Straub though. Is it something new?

[Dan]

Congratulations! Some very cool books. I have never heard of that Straub though. Is it something new?

It's from Subterranian Press. It's pretty small. Under 100 pages, I believe. It's down stairs and I'm lazy.

[Brice]

Far enough! I have the internet. :) *googles*

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I have that THE BALLAD, etc. and it states - Previously published in Conjunctions

[Dan]

I stopped at my local used bookstore today, as is my normal Saturday morning, and picked this up for $6.50. It is a first edition, fine condition, with brodart cover already on it. I would have probably bought it even without the signature inside. I took a chance that it is legit. It looks like the other Matheson signature I have. I have no idea who the second signature is. Any guesses are welcome. Also picked up a couple of first edition Straub books, nothing signed though.

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_9007s.jpg

http://www.danandjessie.com/pictures/IMG_9009s.jpg

[Merlin1958]

Sweet!!!!! Great Price!!!!


:dance:

[Bad Penny]

At $6.50 how could you possibly go wrong - excellent catch Dan :smile:

[needfulthings]

The 2 signatures are Richard Matheson & his son the author of the book Richard Christian Matheson.
http://imageshack.us/a/img864/3922/img615o.jpg
The ones I see for sale are only signed by Richard Christian & start around $40 without Richards signature NICE BUY>

[Dan]

I picked up a copy of The Passage UK signed version today for a good price.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/6bed541b.jpg

I also picked up these last week.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/b77b30f9.jpg

[Brice]

I am exceedingly jealous of your new books. :D

[Hbgunslinger]

Great collection very jealous of your setup.

[Shannon]

I like the cover of the UK Passage. That's the first I've seen.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Great minds think alike! I just bought one of the UK signed of THE PASSAGE too. Haven't got it yet. Nice pictures.

[Dan]

I just happened upon it at my local book store. I hadn't been actively looking, but figured it was a good book to add to the collection.

[Ben Staad]

Very nice additions. I really like the cover on the UK The Passage and maybe I will try and track one down.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats for the signed UK Passage. Justin Cronin is a very friendly guy.
I love all my signed The Passage/Der Übergang books.

[Bad Penny]

Enjoyed The Passage set, very nice :smile:

[biomieg]

Yes, very nice indeed. I really like the S/L cover and I'm still a bit annoyed that I didn't preorder one when it was announced....

[Dan]

I love getting packages in the mail. This is what I got with the 50% off coupon and paid for with a gift card that was purchased at a 50% discount. And a slipcase for the S/L The Passage.

The book on the right came in the mail from a fellow forum member.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/b482fdb5.jpg

[Ben Staad]

Very nice, Dan. It's a great book and I really like that sub press (?) edition.

[Dan]

It's the Sub Press Deluxe Signed Limited First Edition (I know long). They had a regular S/L and a second printing deluxe and standard S/L, too.

[Cook]

Congratulations Dan
Great new books, Passage(s) & Joe Hill are excellent !

[Dan]

Got these on eBay. They were only listed under Steven King, so probably missed a bidder or two.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/22cf69b7.jpg

[Shannon]

I love it when people make that mistake. Another one to look for is Stephne King. :)

[Dan]

Just got a copy of Locke & Key S/L to complete my set. Not matching numbers, but that is rather difficult on books that have already been released.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/74bf3842.jpg

Here is my "scratch and dent" Knowing Darkness. Until you hold this book in your hands you can't imagine how heavy it is. Very nice book. If it wasn't so expensive and me being so particular about condition, it would make a great coffee table book.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/1f8dce18.jpg

[Stockerlone]

GREAT NEW BOOKS !!!

[Shannon]

I have the traycased Knowing Darkness. Absolutely beautiful book. Normally when I add something to my collection, I buy it, I catalog it, and then it sits on the shelf. With Knowing Darkness, I've looked through it countless times. I love it. Great addition!

[Dan]

The Strain Signed Limited. Beautiful book. Was able to buy for original price.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/c148f3b1.jpg

[Shannon]

Wow.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

THE STRAIN Limited is a beautiful book, isn't it? The lettered is just as impressive. I'm still reading THE PASSAGE (which I love), and I hope THE STRAIN is as good, if I ever get to it. So much to read, so little time!

[Brice]

The Strain is gorgeous.

[Ben Staad]

That is a stunning book, Dan! Congrats.

[Bad Penny]

Very nice indeed Dan, do you think you'll pick up the other two in the trilogy when Lonely Road releases them?

[Dan]

Very nice indeed Dan, do you think you'll pick up the other two in the trilogy when Lonely Road releases them?

I've preordered The Fall. I will do the same for the third. Thanks!

[Ricky]

I really like your Dark Tower shelf. It looks really nice. :thumbsup:

[Dan]

Thanks for the compliments!

These two books came in the mail today!

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/80ed038b.jpg

I think it is interesting how the title and authors names are in reverse of each other.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/901396c0.jpg

[Ben Staad]

Very nice! Really like The Passage.

[Dan]

This Advanced Reader's Edition was delivered today. It's signed by the author.
http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/158fbe20.jpg

Picked this up at Target
http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/22e98483.jpg

Found the at the bookstore. The Lovecraft is a 1st. The other two are Heritage Press editions that were in clearance for $2.50 each.
http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/1af0c570.jpg

I also picked up a BCE The Bachman Books for $2.50 to fill a space on the shelf.

[WeDealInLead]

That Lovecraft looks great.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Dan, is the cover of that first PASSAGE proof you show, which I'm assuming is the UK Orion, a picture of Amy's face?

[Dan]

Dan, is the cover of that first PASSAGE proof you show, which I'm assuming is the UK Orion, a picture of Amy's face?

If you are talking about the white cover that has writing, then no. It is identical in content to the signed one. On the back it states "special preview edition". It is Ballentine Books and has the same number of pages. I got it because I had not seen this one before.

If you have time, could you post a picture of the front cover? This is definitely going on my want list!

[Dan]

Here are several pictures of the proof. Not signed, but since is my only unsigned copy, if I ever meet him I will have him sign it.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

So as far as I can tell, there are 3 proof states. The ARC from Ballantine with the photo cover, the ARC from Ballantine with the blurb cover and the UK Orion ARC with Amy's face on the cover.

[Dan]

I guess I need to find the UK proof.

[Stockerlone]

Great !!! This The Passage proof is missing in my collection.
(There is also an GERMAN slipcased ARC / Leseexemplar of DER ÜBERGANG-The Passage.)

On the German bookpremiere event, Justin Cronin signed me my Leseexemplar, he said that this
was the first German book he signed. He is a friendly guy, it was nice to talk and drink with him.
http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?10774-Justin-Cronin-The-Passage/page4&highlight=Justin+Cronin

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

You have inspired to spend more of my hard earned money, so I just bought the UK proof. Now have 2 out of 3. That Ballantine proof seems to be the size of a normal paperback.

[Dan]

Thanks to Randell Flagg, I now how the error edition signed The Passage and a flyer from a signing event that is also dated.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/1737e361.jpg

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Those books like very nice on your shelf, but I think that one 'blurb' proof would look just a bit nicer on my shelf, don't you?

[Bad Penny]

Congrats on The Passage set, they look truly awesome side x side :smile:

[Dan]

It does kinda look out of place. Send me your address and I will drive it over tonight.

Dueling Minds from CD. Review coming up. The other was a freebie for ordering from Sub Press.
http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/bec30b7f.jpg

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Interesting titles. What do you mean, a freebie from Sub Press? Was it just something they did at random? I ordered a book for another person once from them and they enclosed a proof copy of one of their books, which I gave to the person I'd ordered the book for (after all, it was his money). So I guess they do this occasionally. So of course I've never got anything like that in one of my orders. But once in a while they'll send me a free book or two if a title they announced is behind schedule. If CD did that I'd be drowning in free books. That's just a joke, so please don't be offended CD!!!!

I really like that LEGENDS.

[Dan]

Yes, I ordered two books from Sub Press when they were selling 50% on eBay. They just threw it in and put a note stating that it was a bonus gift. Very nice. I don't order from them often, but they do have quality books.

[Jimimck]

Some great new additions there. Really like the Strain series.

[Ben Staad]

Really like all the new stuff but I love the cover of "Slow".

[Bad Penny]

Cool stuff .. the CD books shine, as always (the Legends is pretty sweet too) :emot-cthulhu:

[Cook]

Nice additions Dan, especially the Joe Hill "Better than home"
Have you read it? I'm curious about the story line.

[Dan]

I haven't read it, yet. It's fairly short and I plan on reading after my current book. I will let you know.

[Dan]

Moved all of my reading copies out of the closet. I'm trying to come up with an inexpensive way to have them shelved.

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/0103c8ec.jpg


I've read the story. Very well written. Not horror. I liked it. You can definitely see his style in this writing. Its about a boy who knows he has "problems", and copes with them as best he can. He basically talks about his folks and how each one treats him different and his life with his "problem".

[WeDealInLead]

what kind of amp/cab is that?

that story is up for download at amazon for a buck, check it out. you don't need a kindle.

[Dan]

It's a 1968 silverface Bassman with blackface wiring. The front one is an early 70s Peavey Classic 4x10 Combo.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I count 7 or 8 copies of THE PASSAGE.

I finally removed all the Wonder Woman wallpaper from my library. I also built an inexpensive wooden bookshelf to house my paperbacks.

[Shannon]

Good job! What books are you missing in order to complete your US first edition collection?

[Jimimck]

Awesome Dan!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That looks like a 35mm film trailer. Do you have the projector for it? (Or is it 16mm?)

[Dan]

Good job! What books are you missing in order to complete your US first edition collection?

I need to look again, but basically the earliest books, any of the Bachman books, and some of the odds and ends like Cycle of the Werewolf, My Pretty Pony, etc. I'm not in a huge rush, I just figure I will pick them up when I see a good deal. That's how The Stand came about.

[Dan]

Awesome Dan!

Thanks!

It is 35mm, but I don't have a projector. It was very cheap and looked interesting, so i bought it. The tape on it keeps it sealed. For that matter, it could be anything on the film. :)

[Stockerlone]

Great new stuff....CONGRATS !!!

[Dan]

Few new comics today!

http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/DanielLRoth/182f715261c6130e23bf737bbbe7f3df.jpg

Nice! Question for ya', since you seem to be a fan: What would you compare Locke & Key to? Like ... "If you liked _____, you'd like Locke & Key" ...

[Bad Penny]

Nice additions Dan (have just cottoned on to the Locke & Key graphic novels, and they're pretty darn good) :thumbsup:

[Dan]

Nice! Question for ya', since you seem to be a fan: What would you compare Locke & Key to? Like ... "If you liked _____, you'd like Locke & Key" ...

Yes, I'm a fan, but I've never read anything else except for Dark Tower series. I was never into comics and took a chance with Locke & Key and found I really liked it. I've never been into super hero stuff and this reads like a book. It also has made me appreciate art much more. Just thinking about the time spent on creating one issue is amazing. I wish I could have helped more.

[Dan]

Nice additions Dan (have just cottoned on to the Locke & Key graphic novels, and they're pretty darn good) :thumbsup:

Thanks! I agree, they are pretty darn good.

[Shannon]

You helped, no worries. I think I wanna get Amber one of the big editions as one of her Christmas presents.

[WeDealInLead]

Darn, I completely forgot I still need Shivers VI in hardcover. Your recent update reminded me.

I dig Locke and Key. The story is intriguing and the artwork gets better with time. I wasn't into it at all in the beginning but it's much more solid now. If you don't read comics at all, L&K is a good gateway book. If you've already read Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, Jeff Lemire, Matt Wagner, Straczynski, J.H. Williams III, it might feel like a step down. Brilliance of those men can really spoil fanboys.

[Dan]

Thanks Brian Freeman!!! Can't wait to dig into these!

Yes, he's spot on. It's a GREAT case!!!

I also ordered the Constitution from Amazon. It fits nicely on the shelf I made.

Nice! Isn't A Life In Cinema very thin (size-wise, not page-wise)? I found it to be very odd while holding it, like most of the book was missing, lol.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, both books look really great.
A Life In Cinema Lettered is also one of my favorites.:thumbsup:

Thanks Grant! I wasn't sure what the picture was. I actually almost bought Creepshow in the discount bin this morning, but passed.

No worries mate, Fluffy's a fave of mine (although I've not seen a McVey variant on the theme until now - pretty darn cool !!!) :rock:

I don't know who is or isn't the praying type, but please remember me this week. I was riding my bicycle yesterday and a car hit me. I have a broken hip socket on left side and fractured pelvis on left side. Also a torn ligament in my shoulder, so I can't even use a walker. I will have no use of my left leg for 6 - 8 weeks. I was wearing a helmet and the accident was the fault of the car. Overall it could have been much worse, so I am grateful for only having the injuries that I received.

[jhanic]

My prayers are with you, Dan. Get well soon.

John

[Joe315]

Here's to a speedy recovery.

[Shannon]

Dan, that sucks. Sorry to hear about it, but thank Baby Jesus that it wasn't worse. Car accidents are no joke, especially when you're not even in a car!
