Book Collection: Br!an

[Br!an]

I have passively collected SK first editions for years.

I recently began actively collecting.

I have been able to acquire a few nice items, as my bank account can attest.

Where's the fire?

It took me two minutes to upload the first pictures.

I'll get better. I promise.

Great start, Brian! Keep 'em coming :)

[Bad Penny]

Brian, great to see you've started your own collection thread - I, for one, look forward to seeing your posts !!!! :smile:

Oh, and in response to two points raised ...

1) There's always a fire when it comes to us wanting to see what prizes you have in the collection :onfire:

2) How's does one passively collect King? If this is some sort of curable condition, please seek the appropriate medical advice and get your bad self cured of this afflication :P

[Br!an]

[Br!an]

NICE, congrats !!!

Thanks

What are the three Joe Hill's that you have for sale?


Yay Br!an!
Hill's doodles are so playful

If you do a little looking then you can get a doodled copy for the same price as the flatsigned.

I did a little looking.


Liking the doodled / signed Joe Hill's a lot :smile:

Do the Doodle! They do make the book special.

Only if I decide to sell them.

I doubt I would do a production run.

I might do a limited run and gift most of them.

Nice! For Mother's Day I got Joe Hill (NOS4A2) and Owen King (Double Feature) to inscribe both of their books to her with the same message: "To Amber, Happy Mother's Day" and then they signed them. Yay!

[The Library Policeman]

Nice! For Mother's Day I got Joe Hill (NOS4A2) and Owen King (Double Feature) to inscribe both of their books to her with the same message: "To Amber, Happy Mother's Day" and then they signed them. Yay!

You're gonna have to get Amber one signed from their Dad to complete the set now, Shannon!

Great books there Brian. :)

Two nice new additions Brian - and I have to say I love your signature message - freaking awesome (albeit likely true) :emot-roflolmao:

I like the way you open your books - just enough to read them. I do the same thing.

[Bad Penny]

A nice pair of AE's Brian :thumbsup:

It matters.

I also make sure to wash my hands, and avoid food and drinks while handling good books.

Grant makes some very beautiful editions!

They are beautiful books. They are a pleasure to hold.

As finances allow I will obtain more numbered and lettered editions, but until then I can still enjoy a [nearly] comparable quality book in the artist's/gift editions.

[The Library Policeman]

Grant makes some very beautiful editions!

Bad Penny makes books? No wonder he has so many! :evil:

Beautiful editions, Br!an!

RIDING THE BULLET does have very nice production values.

[Br!an]

Great pair of RTB's you have there Brian :smile:

I bought the gift edition from CD. I bought the S/L from Betts.

I got a good deal on both.


RIDING THE BULLET does have very nice production values.

It's a beautiful book. I find the illustrations, photos, drawings, etc., very interesting.

[Merlin1958]

Great stuff!!!!

Thanks

I like that one too.

I've been neglecting posting on this thread. I haven't stopped collecting though so I better get busy updating it.

[Br!an]

I purchased a copy of Joyland that was signed by Stephen King from leakycauldron on eBay. Meanwhile I purchased the slipcase from CD. The seller was less than careful in packaging the Joyland and so it arrived damaged. I notified him and he replaced it with this copy.

Nice one. I don't have very many upgraded books but out of the ones I have this may be my favorite. Good score.

[Bad Penny]

Great new additions Brian - the G/E Grant Desperation is a fantastic production isn't it ?? :smile:

[Ben Eads]

Awesome additions!

It's a fantastic book.

The production value is fantastic. I'm looking at my other gift/artist editions and it is the nicest. Every aspect of the book and slipcase epitomizes quality. In all honesty it makes some of the others look a little cheesy.


Awesome additions!

Thanks Ben. I'm getting there slowly but slowly.

[Br!an]

So the mailman brought me four boxes today. As I was extricating my treasures the dog started barking and there was the mailman again with yet another box.

Awaiting the unpacking with anticipation Brian (I see you've already posted some goodies over on the P&J thread - nice) :smile:

[Br!an]

Working in reverse. Doctor Sleep Gift Edition by PS Publishing. They did a great job packing it. Multiple layers of bubble wrap in a boxful of "peanuts".

[stroppygoblin]

Hey Br!an, was it a full moon when you posted those pics? :) Where's that Silver Bullet Paperweight when you need one!!

[Bad Penny]

Brilliant acquisitions Br!an - the Mister October, in particular, seriously rocks !!! :smile:

[Groomp]

that Doctor Sleep is gorgeous!

It’s really cool. Glenn is a drawing fool! I've certainly increased my author/artist signature collection!!!

It's a really nice production. Not bad for the low end Chinese gift edition. :o

[Stockerlone]

Great new acquisitions, Mister October is supernice !!!

[Dan]

Did you get a shipping notice for Mister October? I ordered quite a while ago and haven't heard anything. I have read the ebook version that came with the S/L and enjoyed it very much. Nearly all the stories were great.

[Shannon]

That looks like a great set of books!

[Ben Staad]

All great looking books but I love the Mister October and illustrations. Very nice.

[Ben Eads]

Very nice additions!

Did you get a shipping notice for Mister October? I ordered quite a while ago and haven't heard anything. I have read the ebook version that came with the S/L and enjoyed it very much. Nearly all the stories were great. No I didn't. I had emailed Christopher and he mentioned that the books should be in soon. Three days later it was here. You need to check with him.


That looks like a great set of books! They did a great job in a short time with the Mister October without going overboard. The Doctor Sleep gift edition is better than I had hoped.


All great looking books but I love the Mister October and illustrations. Very nice.There are a lot of illustrations. Chadbourne did a bunch and even Clive Barker contributed. Pretty awesome show of support for Rick and his widow.


Very nice additions! Thanks Ben. I'm very please with both.

I bought this NOS4A2 signed limited from sentinal. He was very pleasant to deal with. He did a great job packaging and even included an extra comic book!

It's two books. Both remarqued on the title page.

I recently was able to acquire a First Draft of the screenplay for The Witches of Eastwick.

I also have a proof copy of the novel housed in a custom traycase.
Which is pretty cool! I haven't seen anything quite like this before.

I figured that since this is my 900th post, and I happened to notice that fact, it should be posted here.

I'll start with a working sketch of Puss In Boots by Jill Bauman.

I won these in an auction. Just under $60 shipped. All fine except a bumped corner on Cujo.

I didn't have a Pet Semetary. I upgraded my Talisman.

Wow... what auction?

[stroppygoblin]

All US 1sts? I only ask as I know the Canadian Cujo often gets listed as a 1st/1st.

I am not at liberty to divulge my sources. :rolleyes2:

I recently received my first ever custom remarque. Don Maitz did a remarqueable job with my Desperation Gift Edition.

The first pics are the request I sent him, front and back. He did a quick thumbnail sketch on the front and then a full rough sketch on the back.

The next is a full sketch that Don did as a preliminary work prior to attempting the book. Suitable for framing. He does this with all his remarques.

Next is the remarque itself.

Awesome additions, Br!an! Love the Pet Sematary!

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, SUPERNICE !!!

[Br!an]

Thanks all. As TN said I met Don at the signing and he added to the remarque. I thought the sign should read "Organ Donor" which is the name of the piece. Don made it into a Donor card sign. Very cool!

Just realized where that pic was taken. We did enjoy having Don there, you there and the opportunity to see him add that.

Thanks Bruce!

Happy belated birthday to you too.

This thread needs a little love. Half of the links are broken and I haven't updated in almost a year.

I do have some very nice new and newish acquisitions that I'll try to get up here soon. Including a few birthday gifts I received from a member here who is always looking to decrease[sic] the value of other's collections.

[Br!an]

This is a Secret Santa post.

If you haven't figured out what to get me yet...

All Wanted 1sts

Carrie (1974)
'Salem's Lot (1975)
The Shining (1977)
Rage (1977)
Night Shift (1978)
The Stand (1978)
The Long Walk (1979)
The Gunslinger (1982) – 2nd Grant edition
The Bachman Books (1985) HC
The Eyes of the Dragon (1987) I need one of the three printings. Not sure which.
‘Salem’s Lot - Illustrated Version (2005)

Dark Visions (1988)
The Plant (1983-6)
Six Stories (1997)

Books I have that I would like a better copy of:

*
I started collecting British HC 1sts and need most of them. The same goes for paperback 1sts

*

I've never listened to an audiotape. On Writing was recommended to me or The Gunslinger narrated by King.

*

I also collect John Updike, but I have most of the affordable books. I collect Joe Hill, Owen King, Clive Barker, HP Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury.

I like interesting artwork whether horror/King themed or not.

*

I'm a gardener, a cook and I like Rock & Roll.

*

These of course are just a few suggestions. I am sure I will be very happy with whatever I receive.

I'd be amazed if you don't get sent all of those.... very reasonable requests I'd say... :wtf:

[Br!an]

That was the unedited list! :innocent:

[Randall Flagg]

Shit, I had all of those wrapped up and ready to go to you, but the last thing I want to do is usurp your Secret Santa. It just wouldn't be nice.

IT wouldn't fit in the picture!!! :panic:

Actually, I took this pic before I received IT.

I'll have to look around for individual pics of all of the rebound books and portfolios. Either that or take more photos. :orely:

Thanks, Steve.

I have more to come.

[MikeDuke]

Wow, that looks awesome. I scrolled up and saw IT. The whole set looks great. And that is one of the few EOTD that I have seen that weren't the green one.

[Br!an]

Love that display, man....:thumbsup:

Thanks, Chad.

I'm gonna need a bigger table!




LOVE the pic though my man:) The IT after pics... made up for it! lol

Thanks, Kris.

The whole IT production is amazing. Paul really kicked it up a notch with this one.


Wow, that looks awesome.

Thanks, Mike.

I'm lucky to have it.

[Father Cody]

Congrats Brian

I think there are three of them with letters and one RC.

I love the Caiman skin and goat-leather combination. People call it "black and red" but in the right light you can see it's dark green.

[Br!an]

Congrats Brian

Thanks, Adam.

You might have missed the bus, but now you're hitching a ride.

Haha. That’s a good way to look at it. And, hey, it’s been fun seeing the pictures and sharing the excitement with you guys. Looking forward to the Dark Half pics.

I love the little touches in the packaging of IT. Very thoughtful.

Thanks, Frank.

I'm amazed too.

Getting involved with Paul and his projects has been one of my best collecting choices.

Thanks, Tim

I love the little touches too. He used balloon tape. The corner of the foam packing material was cut off so that it could be more easily removed from the box. The paper selections Paul makes just to wrap the damn things is incredible. It really is a cut above.

[The Library Policeman]

Beautiful book, Brian. I never tire of looking at it :thumbsup:
