Jim, please show some pictures of your collection. There's nothing to be ashamed of even if "it is pretty modest". We'd all love to see it.

Ditto. Would love to see anything and everything you got!
And don't worry; the Dark Tower series, as a whole, was never one of my favorites either. Solidarity, brother!

[webstar1000]

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts Jim:) I am a Dark Tower kid but will let that slide.. haha Good to have you around. Hope to see pictures as well mate!

[frik]

Jim, really enjoyed reading your post.
And yes, do show us your stuff. I'm sure you have nothing to feel embarrassed about!

[Ben Staad]

Don't be shy! Share your collection on the site. This is a small group of friends who love checking out things of similar taste. Thanks for the back story BTW.

[Theli]

Lookin good so far, Jim! Welcome to the fold!

[jhanic]

Very, very nice so far, Jim. Thanks!

[webstar1000]

I've been meaning to document everything in pictures for sometime, so this just gives me a good excuse to finally get around to it. I'll start with the room, and then move on to some of my favorite individual pieces over the next while.

So, hi. I'm jim and I collect Stephen King:

I want the case he is in!!! Where did you get it? Super cool!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Very nice setup.

[Lauterer]

Nice reading room...! Good start! Go ahead...:-)

[Stockerlone]

VERY NICE !!!

[Tommy]

Fantastic!!

[herbertwest]

Very nice indeed!
Always interesting to see other people's display :)

[stroppygoblin]

Fresh Fish! fresh fish! :)

Welcome Jim, great introduction and the double whammy of the first photo being something new we all lust after. That's a GREAT way to display the Sk figure! Please post more photos of your books and tell us where you got that case!

[biomieg]

Very nice! And if I recall correctly, that small case next to the reading chair (with Cujo on the lower shelf) houses something pretty unique.

[jhanic]

Those are simply awesome! Congratulations big time!

John

[zelig]

Wow, that's amazing.

[Theli]

Those are some really unique items, very cool!

[Merlin1958]

Awesome, keep going!!

[carlosdetweiller]

I like the Six Stories manuscript/proof. If you could send me photos of some of the corrections that may or may not be in King's handwriting I would be glad to take a look.

[racerx45]

Fantastic, I love the cover proof.

[jonp]

Fanastic reading room and collections. I would love fitted bookshelves like those. Very jealous of the Six Stories Manuscript/Proof. Congratulations

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Wow, I missed seeing that SIX STORIES proof. I can't think of an awesome enough word to say about it though.

[zelig]

Wow, some great signed books there. Very nice!

[jhanic]

I love the Harry Potter series and managed to collect the UK gift editions
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/collection/11.%20potter_zps2aerbjlx.jpg

when the last book was released, she did a tour which I think only included 3 cities, of which Toronto was one. If I recall correctly, you needed to win the tickets somehow, but it was sponsored by the Globe & Mail (our national newspaper). I had a friend who worked there, and I was able to get a ticket. the ticket included a copy of the Canadian edition of Deathly Hallows which would be signed after a reading. I brought along the UK gift and swapped it in when I got up in line - no one seemed to care. I can't imagine there are more than a handful of this edition out there that are signed

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[8vo]

Beautiful stuff.

[The Library Policeman]

Some damn fine stuff there, Surly. Beautiful!! :)

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, Surly!

I also have one of the FDNS signed book club editions. You're right, they almost never come onto the market.

John

[Lauterer]

Holy Shit, what an outstanding collection... woow!

[carlosdetweiller]

Some damn fine stuff there, Surly. Beautiful!! :)

I agree. Some really nice items in there.

Very nice! You sure have some really rare items there. Congratulations.

[Theli]

Very cool collection! Some books there I didn't even know existed.

[mattgreenbean]

Did you get the Rose Red from the auction, or from secondary market?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

!!!ASTOUNDING!!!

[Sir_Boomme]

i'll have to check my files, but I think there were only about 20 of these offered for sale in an auction held by ABC when Rose Red aired. The tray case is an aftermarket custom addition
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/j_zpsifkpytlq.jpg
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/k_zpsoas4y5z0.jpg

Really cool to see another one of these in the group.

yes... there were only 20 of them auctioned... in 2 lots of 10... I picked mine up in the first lot that was sold during the show's airing.

Nice slipcase... I just might have to get one of those made.... Dolso, calling Dolso.... is there a Dolso in the house?

Ridley Pearson was at the Texas Book Festival a several years ago, I was able to get him to autograph the script too.

even snagged his nameplate from the table after he left ha ha.

That's a signed Carrie script beside the RoseRed script.

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj13/sir_boomme/cases-2010/_H2-lmt_eds.jpg

[Sir_Boomme]

I don't remember the exact numbers... but the first lot sold for around a 1000.00 each... and the second lot sold for about 200.00 to 300.00 more.
I have it written down at home.

[Sir_Boomme]

Next is the Joe Hill shelf:

Joe is pretty generous with his signature, so every one of these has been signed
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/collection/26.%20joe_zpshc9w8hbx.jpg

I've posted this one before, but it's one of my favorites in the whole collection. I made a donation to the READ FOR PIXELS fund raiser and in return, Joe wrote an original, hand-written, 200 word story just for me. I don't know that I can show the story but he mentions he might put it in his next collection.

THIS... is to cool for words!

[Merlin1958]

Color me impressed!!!! Congrats!!!

[wizardsrainbow]

Jim-

very very nice stuff!

[becca69]

Lovely collection! Another lettered Regulators for me to envy.

[webstar1000]

Im really confused... you said your collection is "modest" and you seemed embarrassed to post pictures of it. Were you kidding with everyone? I would say this is an IMPRESSIVE collection. Am I missing something? lol

[zelig]

Nah, didn’t mean to leave you with the impression that I’m embarrassed.
I’m really happy with it, but much of what I have has already been covered in other threads and it really is a modest size collection when I compare it to so many of the others that have been shared here. It’s only a couple of shelves and doesn’t include any of the wonderful items that I envy in other’s collections like rare appearances, foreign editions, early proofs, remarques, artist editions, gift editions, anniversary editions, promotional items, and so on.
I’m really glad you’re enjoying it. It’s a pretty good feeling to get such positive feedback from a community made up of the world’s leading collectors of King. I’ll post some more later.
Man you have like 3 holy grails of mine. lol Im jealous!!

[RC65]

Beautiful room, great acquisitions -- kudos on a terrific collection, and thanks for sharing.

[webstar1000]

I know that The Regulators is on your list, but what are the other two?

Well maybe a few more.. but there is COTW (one of the 100), Green Mile, and Plant matching set is up there too... lol

[webstar1000]

Out-friggin-standing man!

[zelig]

Really nice. I like the Wolves cover painting.

[webstar1000]

this last one I got from a member here and is the original Bernie Wrightson cover painting for the TPB of Wolves of Calla
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/05_zpssgwwdgza.jpg

I really love this piece sooooo much! Wow wow wow!!

[racerx45]

Love the art, especially the Bernie drawing

[herbertwest]

I didnt remember seeing that artwork before. Really nice one!

just when I think I might actually be able to consider myself a collector, another thread like this shows up... :arg:

[Theli]

All fantastic art pieces. Love Wrightson's especially.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I didn't like WOTC, but that artwork is great.

[carlosdetweiller]

Very nice artwork! Thanks for posting the photos. I remember when that Wrightson artwork from WOTC went up for sale. For some reason I didn't think I needed or wanted it. Now I am kicking myself for not going after it. Congratulations!

[carlosdetweiller]

That is a great looking set! Signed copies of Night Shift are pretty scarce.

[jsmcmullen92]

I love the traycases for them. they look amazing!

I have never seen a hardcover copy of Stinger by Pocket Books. Is that a retail edition or a book club edition?

[Stockerlone]

Very nice new stuff !!!

Wow, amazing. Never would have thought these would still be attainable. Congratulations!

[Randall Flagg]

That is amazing. It seems like almost every day someone here produces a whopper item.

[peripheral]

That's unbelievable. Congratulations! Tell us the story behind these acquisitions - love to know how these were even available.

[herbertwest]

Very cool!
Although, to be honnest, IMO the artwork for SALEM looks a bit unimpressive without the cover

[Theli]

Absolutely killer additions. Huge congrats! I'm exceedingly jealous.

[Alec]

Good morning Jim.
The original cover art for The Shining and Salem's Lot has got to be the most important item posted in a long, long time.
A wonderful find and equally as spectacular for us to see.
Congratulations, they are very special.
Kindest regards
Alec.

[jon10g]

Incredible stuff yet again on this site!

[Alec]

Good evening Jim.
Thank you for your comments.
If I may make a suggestion with the Salem's Lot, I would have it framed exactly as it is. It's beauty is in the shown dimensions and every word of the script. It is so rare and original I would hesitate to change the dynamics.
Only my opinion, well done whatever you decide.
Kindest regards
Alec.

[becca69]

I agree with Alec... the instructions/dimensions makes it!

[idlewarnings]

I can't wait to hear the story behind the paintings. Congratulations on such an incredible acquisition.

[Alec]

Interesting thoughts from the framer, especially using the back of the frame as well for mounting the over-lay.
Look forward to seeing any images you post.
Kindest regards
Alec.

[becca69]

so, i was working on something that i have to reluctanly concede isnt going to happen.
instead i went with something Different and will be happy happy to post pictures when it arrives.

"...Seasons"?

[webstar1000]

Good for you man! I have been trying to evaluate these and it is not an easy task!!!!

[Alec]

I thought it impossible to better the last two that you posted. How wrong that was.
This would fit into any collection, it is a piece of art in itself, you do not have to know it was a jacket design.
If I had to choose one out of the three you have shown us, this would be it.
Quite superb.
Kindest regards
Alec.

[firemonkey66]

I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say that these paintings you've acquired are so awesome. I think they pack a lot of punch for me because they're older book images that I've taken for granted and forgotten that there was even an original ever made. And then, POW, you're showing me a picture of it in your living room! Great great stuff and thanks for sharing.

[webstar1000]

Where did you find these artworks if I can ask? If there is more left and your buying them.. by all means keep it close to the chest... but if not, be very interested to know:) kris

[Stockerlone]

Superbeautiful Artwork !!!

[webstar1000]

Since the new IT movie comes out today, I figure it would be a good time to share some new related art that I have (assuming I am able to post the picture).

Way back in '86 when Mr Giusti first read the manuscript for IT, he produced and presented an initial cover concept sketch to Viking press. This sketch lead directly to the creation of the original painting that was reproduced by Suntup for their IT cover print. From that original version, additional modifications were requested by the art director and the result was the final cover we all know and love.
Before sending the first (Suntup version) finished painting to the publisher, Mr. Giusti arranged for a high quality transparency copy, which took the photo company two days to reproduce. The finished painting was then sent to Viking and the transparency was kept for Mr. Giusti’s own personal files. Once Viking had the original, they requested changes such as removing the oil slick, removing the ripples in the water, changing the angle of the curb, making the claw larger and moving it more to the center of the grate. After those changes were made, the new, final work was hand delivered to Viking by Mr, Giusti’s agent. Because time was of the essence, no transparency was ever made of the final version. Neither the original (Suntup) version or the final cover version were ever returned to Mr. Giusti, so all that remains is the transparency of the original version that was so beautifully reproduced by Paul over at Suntup, and the concept sketch.

After more than three decades, here is that original sketch that was done back in 1986. The work measures 11 x 14, including the white edge. There are two comments from the art director written in pencil: one on the upper left-hand margin and one on the right. The actual drawing is 9 ½ x 6 ½ and is done in colored markers and ink and signed in the lower right-hand corner.

OK, Surly,
Don't know how I missed this thread. You have some outstanding books and art pieces. Was that a Lettered Regulators I saw back towards the beginning of your thread? Your collection is fantastic. Makes me jealous all over again :). Really though, an outstanding well rounded collection.
