Did you see this thread, AKC? LOL LOL LOL

I have Artists folks, just need books!!! Whatever you can spare is greatly appreciated!!! I'll even do what I can to "make your dreams" come true!!! Call your "Remarque" then bid on it for a great cause!!!!

RF is "Da Man"!!!!!!!



Edit: FWIW most of the artists are open to any volume you choose. It doesn't have to be a volume they have illustrated in most cases. So knock yourselves out!!!

Can they be trade 1st editions? I have a near mint UK EOTD that I could donate, for example.

Trade 1sts are great. In most cases a paperback, Bookclub, or later printing would not work.

Unless someone wants to donate a 1st edition PB of the early Bachman books....Rage especially.

You dont want a 13th printing of Running Man?

[Randall Flagg]

No gracias.

[Merlin1958]

Well they are premium auctions!!!

[TwistedNadine]

Seriously tho I have a 5th printing UK UTD I can throw in with a couple of other titles that are 1sts. If no interest in that one let me know so I dont waste the postage
Also, any interest in proofs for the fundraising?

Any donations are welcome!!!

In addition to Ambannon Books' $1,000 check, I will be donating an item or two straight up, and I think I will allow my TMSG/THPS combo to be up for grabs again, with everyone bidding against myself of course. But this time, lol, if you bid on it, please actually want it at the price you are bidding on it at. I DO have a set price in mind, lol.

[Joe315]

When do donations need to be in by? I may have something to donate but I won't know until the beginning of next year.

Are you looking for Stephen King books only or are other authors ok?

[Merlin1958]

Beggars can't be choosers!!! However I am especially looking for books that would lend themselves to Remarques by Artists. Thanks!!!

Hmm PMed you a list of Kings and non-Kings - let me know what you want me to ship.
I think only a handful of them would be good for illustrations, tho. You tell me.

Sorry TN I was otherwise occupied!! Read you PM and responded!! There are also some very cool items that may be good for auctions and/or giveaway items. I forwarded those to RF and listed the ones you can send here to me to be shipped to artists. Need my address?

Thanks so much for your wonderful generosity!!!

:clap::clap::clap:


Edit: BTW "Giveaway" items are very important. They keep the "Paypal Widget" churning!!!

[TwistedNadine]

Not so much being generous as much as I REALLY need the shelf space. And since I hate wearing the Seller hat this is a perfect way to trim off some of the duplicates and triplicates...

Got your address. After the weekend I'll finalize the list for you Bill.

[Merlin1958]

Many thanks TN!!!

[Fsmdr]

Do you need a Don Maitz book for a remarque?. I can get one sent to you. let me know.

[Merlin1958]

I don't want to give anything away, but let's just say Maitz is covered. Some suggestions: The Green Mile (Geyer), Everything's Eventual (Baumann) The Stand uncut (McVey) anyway you get the idea.

Thanks Fsmdr!!!!!

Everyone here is sooooooo cool!!!!!

[TwistedNadine]

Bumping this for you Merlin and also letting you know books will go out tomorrow (sorry - been slacking off)

No problem whatsoever and thank you again so very much!!!!

Thanks for the "Bump"!!!

[biomieg]

Did you receive my books yet, Bill? For some reason, shipping seems to take longer than usual (Glen did not yet receive his 'pass on the read' book either, and some of my eBay purchases from a couple of weeks ago are also still in transit).

Not yet, but I'm sure they will arrive soon!!! Thanks again, Michael!!!

Reminder:

Books to be donated should have an "Artist" in mind, so to speak. That's my "wheel-House" if you will. The HF needs your input!!!! I'm just an old "Whore" LOL LOL LOL

[Ben Staad]

Wow this sounds like it's shaping up very nicely! I hope the big spenders are keeping some money tucked away for this.

[Merlin1958]

Just received 3 boxes of King books from Twisted Nadine!!! Awesome, just Awesome!!! I have to go through them, but I think some will be sold in "King Lots" on eBay for the benefit of the 2013 HF raiser. A few may make their way to Artists we'll see!!! Very generous, TN!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[herbertwest]

What is the deadline?
I have couple of books that may be interesting

There is no real deadline. The HF raiser starts early next year and ends in May 2013

[Merlin1958]

It gets harder every year to "top one's self", but Ned Dameron is doing some very interesting things!!! As I hear it, the San Francisco Art Exchange will contribute again. So I have high hopes of beating last years totals!!! Of course, that is not possible without you folks!!!

[Shannon]

Doing a great job, as always. :)

[Merlin1958]

Yee Haa!!! The 2013 Fund Raiser is underway!!!! My second favorite time of year!!!!! Donate people's !!!!!

We can really use books for Artists to remarque, like The Dead Zone for Baumann, Rose Madder or Green Mile for Geyer, etc You get the idea!!!

[Merlin1958]

Nothing Folks? C'mon we are a better community than this, no? I need books for "Auction items"!!! The Dead Zone, The Green Mile a little help here?

[Randall Flagg]

We just had a donation yesterday by sgc1999.

[Darkthoughts]

I have the Subpress edition of Joe Hill's Gunpowder, signed and numbered (50) to donate, if you're interested :)

[Randall Flagg]

That would be cool. Perhaps we can figure out an auction for UK/Europe ebay? It would save on shipping.

[Darkthoughts]

Sure, although I'm quite happy to ship to whoever wins it rather than ship to Bill as a middleman, as it were :)
