Having to start from scratch with your collection is kind of fun after selling it all over the years. I'm being more "discriminatory" this time around. No promo stuff and no foreign language editions (I used to have a bookcase full).

Recent purchases:

-Jan. 1978 issue of Oui with King's "The Fright Report":

I've gone a little magazine happy lately..... It's my quest this time around in collecting to collect every fiction & non-fiction piece in every magazine, newsletter, newspaper, etc. as well as focus on one of my favorite parts of King collecting, mags with King featured on the cover. When I collected the first time 15 years ago I had a LARGE collection of magazines but now I"m starting from scratch!

Bewilderbeast #5 (1984) fanzine with letter from King to Joe Bob Briggs:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/JReitan47/King%20Collection/076AF534-549C-4A50-83CE-6DE9548DC3A9_zpsm6mkc7yk.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JReitan47/media/King%20Collection/076AF534-549C-4A50-83CE-6DE9548DC3A9_zpsm6mkc7yk.jpg.html)

Newsweek, Jan. 14, 1985 with letter from King:

Family Circle, Nov. 1, 2001 with non-fiction piece, "Full Circle" by King (one of my FAVORITE non-fic pieces by King):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/JReitan47/King%20Collection/FABD71AB-ED58-4510-9645-A5444A76A568_zps9phajqaq.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JReitan47/media/King%20Collection/FABD71AB-ED58-4510-9645-A5444A76A568_zps9phajqaq.jpg.html)

Time magazine, Dec. 18, 2000 with non-fiction piece, "How I Got That Story":
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/JReitan47/King%20Collection/3E1D6892-0036-422B-A5AA-CC121D1BF95E_zpsh2juyqur.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JReitan47/media/King%20Collection/3E1D6892-0036-422B-A5AA-CC121D1BF95E_zpsh2juyqur.jpg.html)

Very good Jonathan! That's a lofty goal. I will be cheering you on along the way.

Thanks man! Yes, a very lofty goal, but it's real fun to track all these down!! I especially love finding them online for a steal! My records (which aren't 100% up to date or accurate), show that King has about 347 published pieces of non-fiction (including all the Pop of King columns), of which I own about 50 of....all of which I've accumulated in just the last four months. As for fiction pieces, I show that he has 111 first published in mags/newspapers (not counting anthologies), of which I've acquired 41 of in the same amount of time. This time around in collecting I'm hunting down ONLY mags without mailing labels, which isn't easy. Lots more work to do!

jonp
11-13-2015, 12:29 PM
Great new magazines. I haven't seen most of those, thanks for sharing them. Wishing you all the luck in trying to get all the fiction and non-fiction magazines. There must be hundreds of them (EDIT: just read your post above - there are hundreds of them LOL!) Congratulations Jonathan from another Jonathan!

biomieg
11-13-2015, 12:50 PM
I'm pretty sure there are many more, both fiction and non-fiction (according to Brooks' Bibliography) but even limiting yourself to tracking down everything you have in your own records is a worthy goal indeed!

biomieg
11-13-2015, 12:57 PM
I just checked my copy of Brooks' most up-to-date edition (2013) and he shows 327 published fiction pieces (admittedly, this includes a bunch of excerpts as well) and an astounding 875 published non-fiction pieces (including forewords, afterwords, online postings and the like).

But like I said, even if you go by your own records there's lots and lots to hunt for (which is exactly the reason why I quit collecting first appearances of King's short fiction and non-fiction, it was just too much for me personally).

zelig
11-13-2015, 01:27 PM
Yeah that's also what discouraged me. I know I tend toward being a completist and the sheer volume of these fiction and non-fiction appearances made it all seem very daunting. But good for you for going for it.

jreitan47
11-13-2015, 02:04 PM
I'm not going to worry about all the online appearances, but without those there are still quite a bit.....oh yeah, I'm also compiling a list of interviews too! I'm like Bob...I love collecting the interviews, lots of good stuff in there. It's a daunting task but I love researching some of these harder to find ones, after all, it's all in the hunt!

Thanks! The new Maine Seniors mag just came out, has about 6 pages on the Kings, interview mixed with story about their involvement with local charities, etc. A great article! I learned that the Kings own horses and that Tabitha owns a local orchard farm.

Today's mail brought this thanks to Zelig!

Here is Stephen King's very first piece of published non-fiction, a letter he wrote to TV Guide, published in July 1969 regarding TV violence. He would have been 21 when this was published. A beautiful copy!

This HORRORBOUND looks pretty neat! What is in it?

Has a centerfold art piece of many characters from King's movies, an expanded version of the cover art. Also includes a four page summary on movies based from his books. Not a whole lot of extra info here, no interview, but a neat magazine.

Here's my large print collection I've been talking about. Keep in mind that these are my reading copies so I don't mind that some of them are ex-library and a couple don't have DJ's. I just enjoy reading large prints...makes them quick and easy to read! I have DOCTOR SLEEP and BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS arriving in the mail this week. Looking forward to finally reading BOBD this week during Thanksgiving vacation.

Cool, thanks for posting. I've never seen the Christine before. It's nice seeing these different covers. Many seem to have the same as the trade editions. There's probably a few here and there that I would like to get at some point, like the Pet Sematary. I like the cover on that one.

jreitan47
11-24-2015, 09:06 AM
Yeah, if you wanted to collect them...some of them do have some cool covers, and there are the UK editions too with very bland and rather odd covers in my opinion, but totally different then anything else. Most of which are very hard to find in unread condition!

zelig
11-24-2015, 09:10 AM
That's part of why I've resisted collecting Large Print, because I would probably want the UK editions as well. And then there's the paperback versions too. So potentially you'd be looking at another 4 books per title.

Roog

I really like Jon's collection for a specific reason : it's different from what everybody else collects! Like Lilja for instance that collects King books in different languages. It gives something "fresh" and unusual to see!
The magazines with Steve's pix can be pretty cool! And large print books : who here collect those?

Do you happen to have books in braille by any chance?

Haha...no books in Braille. I've seen a couple for sale over the years but nothing I'd collect. I LOVE collecting the magazines and odd/rare newsletters & newspapers with him on the cover. They are my weakness when I should be focusing on completing my first edition collection! Oh well...it's fun. More coming soon!

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything here. Haven't received too many exciting things lately except a FIRESTARTER large print edition that I had been on the hunt for for a while. Thursday I'm supposed to receive shipment of 15 UK first edition hb's, a collection from a friend I had been making payments on. Can't wait to add those to the shelves...pics when they come in!

Been working hard on my horror magazine archive project. Buying like crazy old horror zines (1970's-2000's) on ebay. Have a company (that we all know and love) that is going to attempt to assist in web hosting this very large project. More news on this some day...

I love mail on Mondays...always seems to be much more than any other day of the week. Here are arrivals from yesterday.

2011 King desk calendar (only need a few more to complete this collection):

New issue of Entertainment Weekly with DT on the cover. A great look at the movie with photos included I haven't seen elsewhere There is a page were King discusses his other books related to the Dark Tower. Hard to tell if this is considered a new non-fic appearance by King as it's just about a one sentence "quote" from King on each one, perhaps more like a snippet from a short "interview". I've been discussing it with Justin Brooks.

Some of you may have know this for years...some of you may be slowing picking up on it...but I tend to collect SK items that don't hold a lot of value on the market but are still often harder to find. Things like catalogs, fanzines, interviews, clippings, mags/newspapers with King on the cover, BOMC magazines, etc. Basically, stuff that easily thrown away, not easy to find on the secondary market, or just not on everyone's radar. Stuff that the Stephen King Museum will some day have to call myself and John Thornburn (chaos-consultants) to get copies of! hahaha

Here we have this week's arrivals....

Mystery & Literary Guild catalogs featuring King titles on the covers. I especially love the REGULATORS issue (in the middle) with a young Stephen King featured. The one on the right has a very very short excerpt of DREAMCATCHER that Justin Brooks didn't even have in his bibliography.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/JReitan47/King%20Collection/D40AFC31-3606-4C55-9FA8-78C586450CAA_zpsswwlhvtf.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JReitan47/media/King%20Collection/D40AFC31-3606-4C55-9FA8-78C586450CAA_zpsswwlhvtf.jpg.html)

Next we have some newspaper TV Guide magazines featuring King movies on the cover. These are getting more and more impossible to find as most people threw these away over the years, I just enjoy finding and collecting them. (And they take up little space).

Nice items!

Thanks Roog!

I thought while I'm at it and the shelf doors were open, I'd take a pic of what the collection currently looks like as a whole. Not comparable to most here but I'm adding stuff nearly every day. Sure didn't look like this a year ago! Top shelf is most of the mags/newspapers, then limiteds and then proofs. The shelves contain firsts (except for Night Shift & Bachman Books which are fillers for now), and then books about King and then books with fic/non-fic appearances at the end. I want to wait to do close up shots until the collection grows a little bit more.

From the "Weird Shit I Collect" category...

I've been collecting horror paperback cover flats for a long while now. I used to go to a lot of horror conventions where publishers and authors would hand them out as promo items. Since then I've amassed a very large collection (nearly 300) of horror cover flats by contacting authors and buying lots on eBay. I have two huge binders full of titles from Anne Rice to Richard Laymon, Charles L. Grant, Jack Ketchum, Rick Hautala, Ramsey Campbell, Clive Barker, many anthologies from the '80's and so many more....a lot of BAD horror paperback covers from the 80's and 90's as well.

Anyways...just got this lot in the mail. Bonus, each one is signed by either the artist or author!

Oh wow, Paul! I sure wish you still had those stacks of them! Most people aren't interested in collecting these, and probably thousands were thrown away shortly after they received them in the mail or after they ordered the titles, etc. But I'm not most people and I'm a bit crazy...so in the collection they go! I think I have one signed by author John Skipp that says, "Where do you find this shit?!" lol

Nice! I have not thought about these for a long time and your post reminded me. Now I'm kicking myself for not keeping them all. And you're right, these would have mostly been thrown out by booksellers. I have no recollection as to what happened to the ones I had because it was about 25 years ago now, but I'm sure I must have discarded them... At least I had the good sense to hang onto these:

Thanks Brian and everyone else! I LOVE collecting things that you just don't see every day. Sure, I could have completed my US first edition collection by now, but some of these items rarely come up for sale while there's a hundred Carrie first editions out there, always one for sale whenever I'm ready for it. It's these rare promos, magazines, newsletters, interviews, non-fiction pieces that not everyone is wanting to collect but it's these pieces that are so much harder to find. After all...it's all in the hunt, and when that one item you've been looking for finally comes up, I gotta have it!

My mailman will hate me today. According to eBay and ABE, I should have at least 7 packages waiting for me on my doorstep when I get home from work! One of which I'm VERY excited to finally add!

I love your collection Jonathan. I was always a collector of everything (even my greatly shrunken collection is a little bit of everything+ all of my foreign editions) and love to see stuff I've never seen before.

I share your enthusiasm for the hard to find items with short stories, essays, etc. in them. There are several that are nearly impossible to find. And the thrill and sense of satisfaction that comes with finding one of them is hard to match.

I've always said that anyone with a credit card and an internet connection could assemble a complete set of King first and limited editions in a day if they were so inclined. But finding all of the rare periodical appearances could take a lifetime.

Congratulations!
