Book Collection: dnemec

[dnemec]

Here it is--my collection thread. I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot more pleasure out of this than all of you!

I love Stephen King, and I have many more of his books than other authors. I will, however, start with a non-King book as it is my favorite.

Enjoy!

One of my earlier acquisitions. I love The Twilight Zone and consequently, Richard Matheson. This is my favorite book, though, because it is the only one I have provenance for.

This is a PC copy that belonged to the editor, Stanley Wiater. I just think that's cool!

[Dan]

Already liking your collection. I also collect Matheson, but don't have very many yet. I do not have this book either. Looks very nice.

It is beautiful! There were 52 signed/lettered--plus the PC copies, of course. It's in a traycase with some lovely artwork by Jill Bauman, I believe. I have more of his, so keep watching!

[dnemec]

Last February, Stephen King came to my part of the country for a change and I was able to score two tickets. We saw him speak at the Savannah Book Festival and I got two books signed. (Having a boyfriend is good sometimes!)

My first edition Christine:

[Shannon]

Very cool! I have yet to meet Mr. King. :( sad face

[dnemec]

This is too much fun! One more tonight: I actually just bought this from swintek via the Collectible Classifieds forum last week and it arrived on Wednesday. My boyfriend was on the computer trying to order this stupid book when Simon & Shuster released it and their website kept crashing. Unfortunately, when they did the raffle, I didn't get picked. (And I had my name, my boyfriend's name, my neighbor's name, and his mother's name all in!) I got my signed/limited edition now though!

Nice collection! I don't think I've ever seen photos of a signed 1st of Christine or The Dead Zone.

[Cook]

Yeaaaa!! A new collection thread.
Love the "Dead Zone" & "Christine"

these are fantastic!

[Ben Staad]

Very nice books. Congrats.

[biomieg]

Yeaaaa!! A new collection thread.
Love the "Dead Zone" & "Christine"

My sentiments exactly!

[Jimimck]

Nice stuff!
I was selected for that 11/22/63 drawing but being overseas they wouldn't ship one to me.

[Stockerlone]

Supernice collection !!!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Another Matheson collector. Yay! Love that TWILIGHT ZONE SCRIPTS book.

[The Library Policeman]

Great stuff! :)

[dnemec]

Finally nabbed a Doctor Sleep sleep mask! Also picked up an UTD promo card. For $1.50, why not?

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4363/36688187285_300ef0d843_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XU1xTc)

[The Library Policeman]

Yay! I got my Dr Sleep mask in the mail today too!

[dnemec]

To be honest, I have been on a bit of a spending spree in the last month. So this was actually a pretty perfect time to start my thread!

I picked up the gift edition of Insomnia on ebay.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4435/35857278654_287d2eec42_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCzVGj)


Also a local book seller was having a "shelf clearing" sale, and I just thought this was interesting. Plus it's like new!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4391/35882701753_74ae48292b_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WEQe6B)

[dnemec]

And let me show you my Stephen King shelf. I got the Black House from the Shannon sale (and frankly that sucker is big!). The audiobooks on the left I've collected over time to keep me entertained during all the hours I spend in my car. And on the right are some of my "reading" copies.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4364/36549978061_b98ae78004_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XFNc6x)

[harrison ryan]

Hey, I just got the Insomnia gift, too! I'm reading mine--about a hundred pages in so far. It's a sturdy production, so I'm not (too) worried about messing it up. Very nice!

Looks like your collection thread is off to a great start. Good job, and keep 'em coming!

[ChristineB]

I hope you don't have to walk under that shelf too often, it may end up falling on you in the near future. :)

Great thread, and a nice start to your SK collecting journey. I'm sure we would all like to see more :)

[dnemec]

Mail's here! Got a couple packages too!

I found the first on www.paperbackswap.com, where I always seem to have credits to use. As you can see, it features a complete reprinting of "The Langoliers."

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4394/36549977371_77d322fca1_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XFNbTD)

In addition, as some of you know, I ended up buying nearly all of Shannon's Dollar Sale items. My first package arrived today!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4382/36688188655_1b20b223df_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XU1yhP)

[jhanic]

Nice!

John

[Shannon]

Yay, what a nice package (that's what she said)!

And people, I threw in some little extras here and there because Ms. Desiree purchased so many items. Please don't think she paid a dollar (or anything) for things like the "Win A Date With Anthony Michael Hall" ad or the Six Stories yellow advertisement.

Speaking of which, I will be having a TWO DOLLAR MENU soon. Will I see you there dnemec? ;)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Ah, if only I was there to purchase that BLACK HOUSE promo. It's a great looking item, and I see it has a good home, so all is well. I like that Time-Life book digest book too.

[mattgreenbean]

Awesome! Another South Carolina collector!

[dnemec]

Awesome! Another South Carolina collector!

Can't imagine there are too many of us!

[dnemec]

I love library book sales. Seriously, I will take a couple hours off work to go. You never know what you'll find and the price is always right. Last week and the week before I went to 2 different library book sales.

At the first I picked up 2 former library books. The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century includes Quitters, Inc. as the 1978 pick.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4401/35857070444_a5a71096b0_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCyRNu)

I also picked up The Golden Years of Science Fiction, Sixth Series. No King in here, but it features a great array of authors including: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Richard Matheson, and 2 Ray Bradbury stories, the latter two authors I do collect.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4368/35857071324_e522114158_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCyS4E)

Best part: that library sale was priced at $5 per bag of books. So those two books cost me about $.25 each. :)


At the second one, I found this great unread copy of The Stephen King Universe. And as it's a paperback, cost was $1.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4369/35857068664_4f96b0089c_c.jpg

So the moral of the day is: library books sales are your friend! Not just for collecting, but for the other dozens of other books I brought home to read!

[ELazansky]

So the moral of the day is: library books sales are your friend! Not just for collecting, but for the other dozens of other books I brought home to read!

I couldn't agree more. We usually have 3-4 big book sales in my area every year. Most of the time, I go on the first day to try to get the best books available. Then, if I have time, I go on the last day when they do the Bag Sale for $5. I am always able to find something to add to my shelves.

Each of the local counties has a library organization called Friends of the Library that puts on the book sales. If you join the FOL, you get to go to the "preview" sale a day earlier than everyone else. In essence, I paid $20 (the family rate for the year--I need my boyfriend to carry my books!), so that I can go in early and spend even more money because I get first pick! Oh, it is a vicious cycle!

[dnemec]

This acquisition was a gift for my birthday last year. While we were in Atlanta to see The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, we visited this fantastic book store that I just love. At the time, I left it on the shelves opting for several cheaper books instead of the one expensive item. (Among them, a 1st edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes and a 1st of Deliverance.) However, I specifically told my boyfriend: "This is what I want for my birthday. Buy this." (Sometimes you just have to make it easy for men!)

And this is what I got--a signed 1st/1st of Rosemary's Baby.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4378/36522757562_680f607946_c.jpg

Every time I go to The Strand in NYC, they never have anything of Levin's in the rare book room, presumably because he was a New Yorker and immensely popular there. I couldn't believe my luck in finding this book, and finding it signed! I guess it's a good thing people don't read down here in the south! :lol:

[Shannon]

Nice addition! I bet that couldn't have been cheap, lol.

[dnemec]

I was done for the weekend, but I posted this on the Other Authors board, and had to repost here. Gauntlet Press sold these prints earlier this year from a painting by Ray Bradbury for It Came From Outer Space. There are certain times when I see something and I can't help myself--and this was one of those times!

[Dolso]

WOW - I don't think I've met very many ex-lib books that are in that good shape!

[Merlin1958]

Great thread!!! Keep 'em coming!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Dan]

I've only read a few Bradbury stories, but that picture is great. Love the look of the signature on the bottom. Is the signature extremely large or is the picture small?

[Merlin1958]

Well then, you have your work cut out for you!! Bradbury is a great Sci-Fi author!!!

[dnemec]

I've only read a few Bradbury stories, but that picture is great. Love the look of the signature on the bottom. Is the signature extremely large or is the picture small?

The picture is an 8 x 11.5, so it's the size of a sheet of paper. (Pain in the ass to find a frame that size since they are usually 8 x 10!) So the signature on that picture is a pretty good size.

And you better get off your butt and read some more Bradbury! I won't say that Fahrenheit 451 changed my life, but it totally messed me up as a 12-year-old bookaholic and pushed me to find more of his work. Been reading him ever since!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES blew me away when I was a kid.

[Dan]

Haha, Thanks! I have read and enjoyed Fahrenheit 451.

[dnemec]

Really need to go to bed (Why did I agree to work all day tomorrow? Oh that's right...so I can make more money and buy more books!), but wanted to post pics of the lovely package I received from David at Betts Books this week!

First off, two proofs that I bought as a gift for myself after finally getting the house refinanced:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4331/36296885390_e8ae3e1127_c.jpg

And then I naturally had to take advantage of the Pay It Forward sale!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4421/36296886780_fb5c52c3ea_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/Xir2SL)

That Artist's Ed of WTTK is just beautiful! Thanks, David!

[Shannon]

I love the photobucket pics that I can't see ... lol

[dnemec]

I love the photobucket pics that I can't see ... lol

Yea, yea. Told you--it was late and I was tired! Apparently, I moved them around in my photobucket account after posting. Oops! They're up now!

[dnemec]

Since I am up way earlier than I need to be, here are more books from this week's haul!

I found this copy of Legends at a thrift store in Beaufort, SC. Contains LSOE.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4434/36522758962_db811a8f94_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XDoFNJ)

Also, these arrived from paperbackswap.com. Appear to be unread too!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4344/36296884390_6021ec03b7_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/Xir2ay)

Now it's shower time, but tomorrow I will be finally inspecting my boxes from Shannon that arrived earlier this week. Should have tons to post then!!

[dnemec]

Busy Sunday! I have been dying to open the huge boxes that I got from Shannon this week, and now I have the chance! 100 lbs of books!

(Remotes weren't included.)

And naturally, I slipped in one of the King movies to keep my company. Now...where the heck am I going to put all this stuff?

[Dan]

Wow, nice haul!

[Stockerlone]

NICE new stuff !!!
Love the painting by Ray Bradbury for It Came From Outer Space.

:)

[dnemec]

I was granted permission for another bookcase! :excited: Trouble is, IKEA is 3 hours from here (remember...I live in hell), and with two dogs, it takes planning to go off for an entire day. But in August, we've got the college kid next door taking the day off to stay with the kids (and watch satellite tv, play x-box, etc), so it's Charlotte, here we come! I wonder if there are some good used books stores up there...?

[Bad Penny]

Hey dnemec, it's great to see another collection thread here to drool over - you're off to a great start, and I, for one, look forward to seeing more of your stuff !!!! :cool:

As the great man passed away last week, here are a couple more Richard Matheson S/L books from Gauntlet Press:

Hard to tell from the first picture, but the second gives it away: The Shrinking Man.



https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4368/36296887830_97b5d206a2_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/Xir3bS)[

Two of my favorites: Matheson and Twilight Zone!

[ChristineB]

Very nice dnemec.

[ELazansky]

Thanks for showing the copy of The Shrinking Man. I am a Morrell collector, and didn't know that copy existed. I just ordered one from Gauntlet.

[dnemec]

I received my reading copy of NOS4A2 this week, so I was prompted to take a picture of all my Joe Hills.

Hehehehe .. Nah mate, I'm a hoarder (oops, sorry, I meant collector) not a seller - the custom Christine models (junkyard, rusted, burned) were all made by a guy that's based in Greece (of all places) and all have functioning headlights/interior lights - the burnt one has even been coated with real wood ash (bastard to pick up or move because of the residue) :smile:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4436/36642087856_2c93440263_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XPWh8s)

Two Dutch Christines, Thinner and From A Buick 8 proofs, a hardcover copy of The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, Kingdom of Fear, Stephen King Country, and the gift edition of Desperation. Now I just need those new bookcases!!

Nice new additions mate, the collection is coming along apace !!!! :smile:

Very nice! The Desperation gift edition is one of my favourites.

What's that with the dutch Christines. Do you collect foreign editions of Christine?

[Rachel Readman]

Just perused my way through your thread here, another great collection. You been really going for it!

[dnemec]

Thanks everybody! I have been on a bit of a buying spree!



What's that with the dutch Christines. Do you collect foreign editions of Christine?

Niels--Christine is one of my favorites, so I decided to collect all her editions I can find! And the price was right on these two!

A few more deliveries this week! It just makes me so happy to come home from work and see boxes of books on my porch! At least until my money runs out...

I got this thanks to becca69 and her trip to Maine. Thanks again!!!!

And finally I got this Secretary of Dreams Vol. 2 for $6 over the cover price and it was remarqued and signed by Glenn Chadbourne. Not the most intricate remarque, but it is my first! I'm very happy!!!!

I like the Glenn illustration, dnemec! I prefer this one over the abundant Rats and Skeletons.
Nice additions and yeah, nothing like having packages waiting for you when you get home!

[dnemec]

I finally got this framed. The print is #11 of only 14 and puts Ray Bradbury in the place of Burgess Meredith from The Twilight Zone episode Time Enough At Last. Two of my favorite things!! Unfortunately, I'm told no more prints as we are out of wall space, but I think I can find more space somewhere!!

Believe me mate, there's always room for more art, and there are options other than walls :P

Loving the Chadbourne remarque (may you have many more) and the Bradbury / Twilight Zone print (11/14) is wicked good) :thumbsup:

[Ben Staad]

Agreed. This is one TZ ep that I have remembered for all these years. Since wathcing this I have been terrified of losing contacts and glasses. I keep plenty of both on hand at all times. Great frame and print. I am highly jealous.

I think that because we are all obviously readers, the episode struck a chord. I know it did with me!!!!

Lots of Haven swag from SDCC. There is a poster in the tube that I'm too lazy to take out. I probably won't keep it all, but for $14, I had to buy it!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Man I have a lousy memory! Haven is based on what King work again? And it's good, right? If it is I'll rent it from Netflix.

Great Haven ephemera items there Dez - nice :smile:

ur2nd - Haven's based (very, very loosely) on The Colorado Kid - although the only real elements carried over to the series are the newspaper guys, an occassional reference to The Colorado Kid and a whole bunch of oblique references to a few of SK's characters in the opening credits. Personally, once I divorced myself from the King association, I found I really enjoy the series (Season 4 premieres in September) :smile:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Just added it to my Netflix list. It's number 53 so I have a ways to go before I get to it. Thanks for the recomendation.

I am always behind on Haven (hooray for the DVR!), but I enjoy it more with each season. And the occasional Stephen King reference that you'd only notice if you are a fan are cool to me! For instance, there was one episode where a little boy was racing his paper boat down the gutter...

And finally...my deal of the week. The Grant Signed/Limited Edition of The Talisman/Black House.

[Ricky]

That IS a deal! Congrats! The Talisman/Black House gift edition is one of my favorite collectibles.

[The Library Policeman]

Great new additions, Dez. Congratulations. (That set was a steal by the way). :D

Sorry, just noticed the Howey's are on Tommy's post.

No, it's not the S/L, Penny. That would have totally destroyed my moratorium. This was just a little bend, which is why I couldn't resist! I have a few of the Night Visions, and didn't realize there was a S/L version. (I know, I know, the catalog!)

Hehehehe ... Yeah, I suppose it would have bent the impulse control mechanism, and the moratorium (man, don't I wish the former worked for me and I could impose the latter on myself :smile:) a tad out of shape if you were to have lashed out on the S/L edition ... I'm gonna post my set (the nine issues published by Dark Harvest and the three "resurrection" issues by Subterranean Press) at some point, although, truth to tell, the only real difference between the two is the limitation/signature page. Irrespective, they're a fantastic series, and well worth getting a hold of :smile:

[dnemec]

It's been a slow week for purchases, but I did pick up one book, although it's non-King related.

Don't Turn Out The Light edited by Stephen Jones. This book is #24 of 200 and signed by all the contributors but Hugh B. Cave, including Ray Bradbury, Charles L. Grant, Richard Matheson and Richard Christian Matheson. And I grabbed it for $25 (slipcase was included too, I just didn't like the picture).

One other thing I did do this week is buy a bunch of frames and mats for prints that have been hanging around here for awhile. The order I placed online won't be here until next week, but I did buy one at the Hobby Lobby and frame it yesterday.

I really like this Black House print!

The Black House print looks brilliant. Great job!

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, the Print is supernice.
For a longer time, i think about Don't Turn Out The Light s/l.
But when i buy one of them i MUST also buy the other books from the series.

[Bad Penny]

Well done on your copy of "Don't Turn Out The Light" Dez - for $25, with all the big name signatures, you made a sweet deal indeed :smile:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I've never seen that DON"T TURN OUT THE LIGHT BEFORE. Nice book. And I don't think I'd visit that Black House, no matter who lives there.

We drove to the nearest IKEA this past weekend (only 3 hours) and bought more bookshelves and a really cool display case, so I'm a bit behind on my postings. However on the way through, we stopped at this fantastic shop in Columbia, SC, that sells books, comic books, and toys/collectibles. According to my boyfriend, I officially crossed over into nerd territory when I bought a couple of the figurines. But I also bought several interesting books, and "The Vault" (which is the really collectible book section) wasn't even open! No Stephen Kings to fill in my collection, but a pretty good haul nonetheless.

Let's start with a 1st Edition of Masques.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4344/35882409783_986a722e72_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WENJiD)

Lots of great authors in there! Too bad it isn't signed...


Anyway, this is a newer Ray Bradbury book, but I don't have the 1st/1st. Now I do!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4409/36553978421_16a33758e8_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XG9Ggg)



This one is price-clipped, but it is a 1st/1st of The Stepford Wives. And for $5, why not?
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4354/36296795720_7e25279df6_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XiqyNL)


And lastly, I do not normally collect BCEs. But I saw this copy of The Shrinking Man, and it's a BCE published in 1956 in really good shape. So it became another "why not?"

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4332/36296797660_10e8a11d35_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/Xiqzod)

That's all for now. When I get my bookcases reorganized, I'll post those pictures. Of course, they have to be just right so that will probably take a little while!

[TwistedNadine]

Stepford Wives one of my favorites.
Nice

[divemaster]

Can't go wrong with Bradbury, Levin, and Matheson! Plus an anthology. I love anthologies.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice new stuff, but that SHRINKING MAN was not published in 1956, that's Matheson's original copyright date. That book was published in the 90s or even later, notice the zip code on the copyright page. That didn't exist in 1956. It does have nice cover art though.

I did a little research, and it appears the book is from the 80s, perhaps 1989. It only has the one publishing date, which threw me off. Oh well, still cool!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I agree, you can't go wrong with Matheson!

[Stockerlone]

NICE new books !!!

[dnemec]

This arrived on Saturday, but I just got around to taking pics. Courtesy of Cook, who thoughtfully suggested I buy it from him to get signed by Owen King in October.

Great new additions Dez (the Masques is particularly cool) :smile:

[dnemec]

A few things came this week, and perhaps if I get all my work done this weekend I will take pics of the new bookcases. But for now, here are a couple additions.

I have a 1st/1st of Horns, but it was my only unsigned Joe Hill. So I just had to order this from David over at Betts!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4440/36553980591_3225a44109_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XG9GUF)


I don't know if anyone reads him, but I also received this Jeff Strand book from Dark Regions this week. I have a high school friend that writes historical romances and knowing my propensity for horror and weirdness, she sent me to her friend Jeff. I read his book Pressure and was hooked! I have several of his signed editions, as well as a signed manuscript with an unbinded paperback jacket. This one is his newest, and available via Dark Regions Press if interested!

[Bad Penny]

Love the "Dead Clown Barbeque" Dez (it resonates with me for some strange reason) - I'd actually downloaded this to my Kindle Fire a week or so back based purely on the title, but have yet to read it (currently on an Edward Lee / Ray Garton jag) :smile:

Picked up this Gauntlet Press publication of Stir of Echoes on ebay last week. It's a beautiful production!

Nice adds. I hope the Jeff Strand book is good. He is a very nice guy and I've enjoyed the few things I've read of his.

[dnemec]

As I have previously posted, I have all 4 1st editions signed of Joe Hill's novels. Up until this week, I had only 3 of the 4 ARCs of his books. This week, thanks to Biblio.com, I found the one I was missing: 20th Century Ghosts.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4392/35856983894_d9c143fb2f_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCyq5f)

A great acquisition, as this is my favorite of his books (and it's always nice to find the one you're missing!). :biggrin:

[Bad Penny]

Ah, I see a completest in the making here Dez (and, yes, this is entirely a good thing, believe it :smile:)

[dnemec]

It's a lot easier to be a completest with Joe than it is with his father, Penny!

[Bad Penny]

It's a lot easiest to be a completest with Joe than it is with his father, Penny!

Can't argue with that point Dez, however; it's great fun trying :smile:

Can't argue with that point Dez, however; it's great fun trying :smile:
Completism (I know, I know) is impossible. Joe Hill's comics iterations and "Keys" now make gathering all of his stuff not only difficult, but a waste of money.

[Meagan J]

That you are!! You know, back in the day I hooked up with a woman in Ct. who had similar skills to help me procure my complete U.S. 1/1 collection. I gave her 10% over costs for any books dhe found on my behalf. Worked out pretty damn good for both of us.

[Bad Penny]

About halfway through Dead Clown Barbeque, and it's not a bad read at all - short story collection, mixing horror with humour (more the latter than the former) - quirky :smile:

[dnemec]

Well, it seems that I have totally neglected my collecting thread! But no more! I was in Toronto to see Stephen King a week ago, and in addition to getting my books signed, I found a few interesting things.

But first...drum roll please...signatures obtained in Toronto, including The Shining that I worked so hard to find in great condition!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4356/36646072636_12f23afba4_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XQhGEy)

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4421/36692247735_497abc1264_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XUnmUX)

And my signatures from Owen!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4362/36692245965_0edace2ac7_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XUnmor)


But of course, I also had to wander through a few book stores. What's a vacation without bookstores?! And I found some interesting things including this 1st Arkham House printing of Lovecraft's The Horror in the Museum which has never been read (and unfortunately is going into the Christmas gift pile);

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4422/36692249775_210020d3b9_c.jpg

several Robert Bloch proofs and a 1st edition copy of The King of Terrors:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4369/36692251375_c808509a82_c.jpg[/url]

a whole bunch of unread paperbacks in great condition (The Illustrated Man is a 1st/3rd);

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4410/36522959302_f3c16b0ced_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XDpHmS)

including this cool copy of Tomorrow Midnight that was illustrated in comic book form:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4418/35857296224_84a12abb93_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCA1Vf)

and this is random (but I think totally cool): it's a pamphlet from 1900 entitled "An Illustrated Lesson in Hypnotism."

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4410/36532194912_ed787f9de5_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XEe3Mw)

All in all, not a bad birthday trip!

[WeDealInLead]

What store in Toronto was that?

[Ben Staad]

Sounds (and looks!) like you had a great trip. Nice book store adds and I really like the SK signature(s). The 1900 pamphlet is interesting looking as well and made me look up when staples started to be used for binding.

[dnemec]

What store in Toronto was that?

We went to The Monkey's Paw and Sellers & Newel. We also went to a second-hand bookstore on our way through Buffalo called Old Editions.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Wow, great stuff. I really like the Serling and Bloch books!

[TwistedNadine]

Great stuff Dez! Absolutely LOVE the Bloch proofs. Nice find.

[ELazansky]

Really cool stuff!

[Bad Penny]

Wow Dez, you've hit your collection thread again with a hell of a bang - brilliant stuff (and so envious of the signatures!!!!) !!!

Way to go !!! :excited:

[bdwyer19]

Looks like it was a very successful Toronto trip. Congrats!!

[The Library Policeman]

Some great pick ups there, Dez. Congratulations.

[becca69]

Love that art on the Hypnotism pamphlet!

[Ricky]

Congrats on all the signatures! I'm jealous of your Shining and It. :drool:

[Merlin1958]

Very, very nice haul!!!! :dance:

[dnemec]

Thanks for all the kind words!

A bunch more things appeared last week at my door. (Am I the only one that has a hard time with the preordering? "Honey, I bought this months ago, it's just only shipped now." The reply to which is a disbelieving: "Uh huh.") Anyway, first up is my Doctor Sleep gift edition. I think Cemetery Dance did a fabulous job here:

By the way, I won a second copy of this, which will probably be available if anyone is interested.


My signed copy of Shivers VII also showed up. (Apologies for the picture--I already put a cover on and was too lazy to remove it.)

And finally, the Blu Ray UTD set arrived. I was unsure of the purchase, and whether I would keep it. I was hoping for a good quality collectible, but thought it would end up being cheap. I even used multiple gift cards for the purchase so I wouldn't feel like I was wasting money. I was so wrong! First off, it is big--about 6 1/2" in diameter--and heavy! I had to put it on my postal scale (curiosity, you know) and it weighs 3lbs, 5oz. Will I ever watch the DVDs? Maybe, maybe not. But I am so glad I picked this one up!

I pulled these pics from Toronto off Mike's phone after forgetting their existence. First up: Uncle Steve signing The Shining for me, with Owen in the background.

And the two of us at Niagara Falls. That was a great trip! I hope he signs for Mr. Mercedes so I can visit another new place!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice stuff. Now I know what the UTD globe and the gift edition of DR SLEEP look like! Thanks!

[Bad Penny]

Great new stuff Dez - and love the Toronto pix !!! :smile:

[Cook]

Hey Dez,
Super (very late, long overdue) congratulations on your wonderful trip to see the king.
I'm soooo jealous how nice the Toronto event turned out, the books look fantastic.
My wife & I have done two King events now, both times were great vacations.
I agree, I hope a "Mercedes" signing happens somewhere new & exciting, Germany or Paris would have been a blast.

That's awesome. I hope he comes my way one of these days.

[dnemec]

I've had to travel both times I saw him, but it was well worth it!

BTW, where are you in Eastern PA? I spent my first 25 years up there!

I kid is all. I have eaten and enjoyed "Scrapple"!! LOL Just fooling with you guys is all.

I love your King shelf!

[dnemec]

Most of what I've bought recently will be put under the tree, but I have been sending Barry over at Gauntlet Press some money lately, and he's been sending me lots of cool stuff!

I picked up a couple more of the numbered The Complete Twilight Zone Scripts of Rod Serling: As Timeless As Infinity set. Eventually, I'll buy all of them!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4379/36691897165_aa4a324acf_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XUkyGD)


I also picked up this lovely Richard Matheson tribute portrait. First pic is the portfolio cover. The second is the inside with the artist signed picture of Matheson on the right and a signed draft page from Bloodlines (I think) on the left.

And lastly, I couldn't resist the ARC from Leave Yesterday Alone and Musings (even though I'd already promised to stop buying books).

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4360/35856985834_73baaf200d_c.jpg


So that's it until the fat man comes bearing presents...unless I see a really great deal, that is!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Those TWILIGHT ZONE books look good all together.

[dnemec]

Those TWILIGHT ZONE books look good all together.

They do, don't they? And only 4 more to buy to complete the set!

[Bad Penny]

Gotta love the whole "sending money, getting cool stuff in return" caper Dez !!! They do look great lined up thusly :smile:

[dnemec]

Before I post my gifts from Santa, here are a couple more things I picked up in December.

Inexpensive, but I needed it!

I know some people didn't think PS Publishing would be up to the anniversary book challenge, but I think if Christine is any indication, we'll be fine. I love the artwork in here!

Nice collection !
I am a little jealous on the Christine ;D

[Bad Penny]

Nice new additions Dez (don't forget there's a UK 1st/1st of Penguin's Umney's Last Case too - just sayin') ... hahahahaha :smile:

I haven't started collecting the UK 1sts. Yet. :evil:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

You MUST collect the UK firsts. It's an unwritten collecting law that I'm sure is written down somewhere.

[Bad Penny]

Yep, true words, I have that law tattooed on me somewhere or other :P

Oh boy. I really don't need to collect anything else! On the other hand, I think some of the UK covers are cooler than the US ones...

[dnemec]

And finally, here are the lovely gifts from Santa (or things I bought myself and then had my boyfriend wrap up and put under the tree).

First off, courtesy of a fellow DT member, is the IT Art Portfolio. I have the IT gift edition from CD, but this portfolio is gorgeous!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4339/36522682892_5b37938561_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XDoicb)

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4410/35856994684_2f6cd9a60e_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCythh)


Second, I bought this from a member of The Collector's forum who was thinning his collection: the gift edition of Subterranean Press' The Green Mile.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4340/35856990914_076a17b984_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCysah)


I bought this copy of Knowing Darkness brand new, except it had been opened for George Beahm to sign. I ordered it off ebay from George who was terrific. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the signature because the book weighs so damn much, I'm trying to avoid messing it up. It's currently on display in my bookshelf as seen here, and that face is creeping me out!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4442/36522684462_2d84cd9d14_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XDoiEf)


From my father (kinda), I got this signed copy of Dolores Claiborne. This is the first time I've ever bought a signed book that was not a S/L, but I figured that if I couldn't trust David at Betts, who could I trust?

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4439/36522680782_7a3a049caf_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XDohyN)


And last but not least, I got this little guy. Thanks to Bad Penny for introducing me to him!

http://www.bitrebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dismember-me-plush-doll-2.jpg

I hope you all had as lucrative a holiday!

[Cook]

Wow !! What a great Christmas.

I have one of these guys but not the lovely Green Mile set. I kicked myself for not ordering one when it was announced. Very nice!

Wonderful! I can has? ;)

[Bad Penny]

Cool that you finally got yourself a pullapart zombie Dez (the books are sweet too) :smile:

[dnemec]

Work has been super slow, so I haven't been spending much money on books. Such a sad story, I know. I have picked up a couple things, including the Doctor Sleep slipcase and Don't Turn Down the Lights that others have posted, but nothing else King.

I did however get a lovely anniversary present: a box of books all signed by Ray Bradbury. I had to buy it--how often can you buy a BOX of signed books?! A few were duplicates to my collection, but below are the rest:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4438/35856996194_c1aaf07773_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WCytJj)


I also found this on ebay, which included the original letter to BOMC, imploring them to make it a selection. I just love finding these old proofs!

Beaut Boxful of Bradbury Bounty Dez - congratulations on an awesome score !!!! :excited:

[WeDealInLead]

Love all the signed Bradbury. The stack on the right looks glorious.

[Merlin1958]

Great to see a fellow, Bradbury fan. Have you ever seen this video? It's a little off color and NSFW so open at your own risk.

I have and it's hilarious! Every time I watch the video, the tune keeps running through my head. And that is not really the song you want clients to catch you singing!!! :innocent:

My 12th Stephen King signature is the lovely The Shining S/L. Even with all the issues, it is a beautiful book.

[dnemec]

And my last listing for now, my new pride and joy: Leave Yesterday Alone and Musings. When I went to buy this my boyfriend insisted that I upgrade from the numbered to the lettered. (Seriously, how often does that happen?!) It is my first-ever lettered book, and I was tickled to get "M" for Matheson. I love that they were able to put his signature in it, and had his son, Richard Christian Matheson, sign as well.

[divemaster]

I really like that lettered Matheson!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

You can't go wrong with Matheson. And the Gauntlet lettereds are reasonably priced. Did you get blue rubbing on your hands from THE SHINING? I was warned by Camelot Books not to touch it without white gloves so I am waiting for the Sub Press dust jacket to come before I take the book out of the plastic bag.
My MUSINGS had the letter 'H'. Although I never asked for a particular letter, Gauntlet (Barry Hoffman) usually sends me an 'H'.

[Dan]

Congrats on the Matheson! I got the numbered for now, but might get a lettered later down the road.

[dnemec]

No rubbing on my hands from The Shining. Naturally, I was very careful after all the hubbub, but I didn't see much transfer. I received one of the earlier copies that didn't come in a plastic bag, so I had some transfer onto the slipcase originally and added the bag myself. I can't wait to see what they do with the dustjacket for that one!


Congrats on the Matheson! I got the numbered for now, but might get a lettered later down the road.

Like I said, I'd planned on the numbered, but with encouragement, upgraded. Plus it's really his last hurrah...I couldn't say no.

[Merlin1958]

King? Matheson? You can't go wrong. ;)

I'm still hoping to trade a friend for an SNL of The Shining. Fingers crossed. It's a beautiful book.

[dnemec]

Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary being a member of the forum. Over the past year, I have gained a great deal of knowledge, courtesy of the fine folks on this site, as well as expanded my collection exponentially (I actually joined because I saw a post on The Collector's website for the infamous Shannon Sale). I appreciate all the help and information I have acquired through the site. It's an amazing place, and I'm very happy to be a part of it!!! Of course, if I sat down and figured out how much money I spent through and due in part to this site, I'd probably have a heart attack. But I can say that without a doubt that my collection (and pocketbook) have changed a great deal thanks to TDT.

Speaking of which, the first item I received this week I first glimpsed in the Intriguing Stephen King/King Related/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales thread. So thanks to RF for pointing it out! I've been wanting the gift edition of From a Buick 8 for awhile, and was happy to get my hands on a good copy!

Continuing on the CD makes awesome books vein, I also received the trade edition copies of Screamplays and Smoke and Mirrors. I can't get over the quality of these two books. CD does amazing work!

Very nice additions. And congratulations on your anniversary!

[The Library Policeman]

Very nice, D. Love that Buick 8 Gift Edition.

[Randall Flagg]

Nice stuff. Glad you got the FAB8.

[dnemec]

Nice stuff. Glad you got the FAB8.

Thanks again for your assistance!!!

[Merlin1958]

Nice stuff. Glad you got the FAB8.

Thanks again for your assistance!!!

M'am, this is a "Stephen King" collecting and book discussing website!!! There is no room herein for "Puppies, lying prostrate for their belly to be rubbed". We simply cannot have it!!! Please make the appropriate changes or you are going from the "Attacker" class, to the "Victim" class in a big hurry!!! "Thanks for your assistance"!!! That should read, "Fuck you, I got one"!!! LOL LOL LOL



South Carolina, Sheesh!!! LOL LOL









Of course, just kidding!!! Great acquisition!!!

[dnemec]

Had it been something more rare, then yes, I could see "Fuck you, I got one." But it was just a gift edition that most of you probably have--that, and I spent over $100 more than issue price. So just a thanks is fine.



And if you are thinking: She lives in South Carolina so she's being a nice, southern girl, you couldn't be more wrong. I spent all my formidable book-learnin' years in Pennsylvania. And if that "South Carolina, Sheesh!!!" comment implies you think I'm a sweet southern girl, then my dear Merlin, you WILL get a nice big FUCK YOU! :FU:




(And just in case you think I'm serious, I'll put it in your terms, Merlin: LOL LOL LOL!!!)

[Merlin1958]

Now, that is more like it!!!


The "LOL LOL LOL" comment, that cut pretty deep. I'm so hurt. (Laughing only on the surface, inside I am crying!!!) LOL

[dnemec]

How about a little art for my posts this week? Below is my Jill Bauman art wall. I bought all three off ebay, 2 from Jill directly.

The entire wall:

On the top, we have a print from the PS Publishing 20th Anniversary edition of Christine:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4364/35878271093_658555b80c_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WErw1V)


In the middle is a print from Cemetery Dance's Dark Delicacies. I'm particularly proud of this one. I thought it would look cool in a red frame, so I bought an unfinished one and painted it myself. I think it looks great!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4363/36518503802_07768db321_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XD1STU)


And at the bottom from Gauntlet Press: Richard Matheson's The Twilight Zone Scripts:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4343/35878269633_accd5ccdf5_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/WErvzK)


I think I may pick up one more of hers to go above Christine (got my eye on a another print from Christine). The prints sit across from my desk...I must say, I do like my new Bauman wall!

[George at C-Springs]

Like that Twilight Zone ... the lavender matting works really well.

[The Library Policeman]

Those look fantastic!

[Dan]

Those are great! I have several of Jill's prints. She is amazing!

A few more things came in the last week, starting with this ARC of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet that I bought from CD via eBay. Just another way to send them my money...

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4348/36649762562_b72dd1f042_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/XQBBxY)


I picked up the Joyland slipcase, courtesy of Tippy4 and the Collectible Classifieds thread, and was convinced to pick on the HIA cards as well (No more shipping costs, he says. No will power, I say).

But perhaps the coolest thing to arrive is this little gem. I bought this from a weird little independent online bookstore, and just think it's so cool.

It's a copy of Gold Bug from the 1920s, part of the Little Leather Library. It's a little less than 4" tall. But so cute! Plus it smells like old book. I keep sniffing it. Is that weird...?

Nope. Sniffing is perfectly normal.......... well, to us it is any way :D


Great new adds by the way!

And here it is...my new pride and joy! Christine is one of my favorites, and it has been on my "to buy" list for awhile. I picked up a copy on ebay for $610, which appears to be a pretty good deal from what I can tell. There is a minor issue with the dust jacket, but I'll be purchasing a new one of those as soon as I get around to it. For now, here she is!

Christine copy is beautiful

Congratulations on the S/L Christine! What do you think of the artwork? I have always thought it was some of Gervais' best and am still disappointed that it did not reach a wider audience.

Thanks everyone!!!

You can try, but keep in mind that my collection is protected by my boyfriend's collection...

I really love the artwork. In fact, I started looking for places to buy prints as soon as I got the book.

I did see that you have the artwork for the dust jacket. Of course, you have everything, so I shouldn't be surprised... [Ugly green jealousy monster coming out] J/K. The picture is gorgeous!!!
