Book collection: TnTzDad

[TnTzDad]

My humble start...(Photo link lost.)

[Father Cody]

It looks great. I’m still in awe of your newest Gunslinger.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I don't drink (alcohol), so Bela Lugosi and I have something in common. But I needs to know, what is the significance of that bottle of booze?

[Brian861]

And another new collection thread!

[Hunchback Jack]

Nice collection, and congrats on the 1984 'slinger!

(That edition is still on my to-get list, and finding a nice one is challenging!)

HBJ

[peripheral]

Nice start there... (and that is one intimidating grandfather clock!)

[Father Cody]

Looking forward to seeing that when it’s framed. All these art additions lately have me searching for something to hang above my bookshelves.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That is a mighty fine piece of art.

Once you acquire enough books, there is no space left to hang art, or at least not as much as you would like too.

[Stockerlone]

VERY NICE COLLECTION !!!

[Father Cody]

Hell yeah! Congrats on that.

[peripheral]

Congrats man, very nice looking sig...

[TnTzDad]

Not sure what happened to my original link but this is my humble but treasured set. Two books short of a sealed DT set. Not sure I'll ever see a Gunslinger 1st sealed in my collection. So much more appealing without the shrink wrap.https://i.imgur.com/qYhGSbO.jpg

[Garrell]

Nice

[peripheral]

Great stuff, man. Cool little remarque. Not sure I'd keep that DT set sealed for too much longer, however - That's not archival plastic.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Good looking books.

Stephen King, eh? I'll have to give him a try.

[Stockerlone]

VERY NICE !!!

[TnTzDad]

Thanks all! As for removing them from the shrink wrap, that has been a long-standing debate. I acquired most of the recently in this condition so it stands to be said that if they were affected, the damage has long since been done. Waste Lands has been in this state since 1991. I don't think removing the wrap now would make any difference. IMHO...

[Brian861]

Nice set!

[kingfan2323]

Awww. . . The shrink wrap off or on debate wages on!

[TnTzDad]

...and it's one I debate internally.

[TnTzDad]

My newest acquisition. A stunning and, for what it's worth, near flawless copy of a 1st edition Pet Sematary.

Super nice Pet Sematary, well done. Congratulations !!
Nicest I've seen on eBay for a while... wise choice

[TnTzDad]

Thanks! Pricey as it was, it was a must-have. First King book I ever read.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

And, it's much better than the movies!

[TnTzDad]

I thought the original movie was a total loss compared to the book. I read the book at 15 and it as intense as all my friends said.

[Brian861]

Great copy! Congrats!

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Thats a beauty. Congratulations

[Garrell]

Very nice copy, congrats!!!:panic:

And my newest addition...https://i.imgur.com/Fd4Bhzq.jpg

As I become more enlightened to the happenings in the world of SK books, I have to ask how many of these LSOE remarques have been made public? I found the discussion with this and three others but have any others surfaced since?

[TnTzDad]

Some new adds and finally framed print. The custom leather Dark Tower books are from eBay. I've gotta say that the detail and simple originality make it worth it. Not all agree, and that's okay. If I collected for everyone else I'd be broke and unhappy. :rolleyes3:

https://i.imgur.com/PzCEdWn.jpgPrints are Beautiful, of course. And I was intrigued by those dt books. I think they look really cool. Waa a little nervous about them but would love to see detailed pics if you get a chance. You can PM me if they are too ugly for everyone else. What editions did they work with? Anything you wish they would have done differently?

Don't ask about the editions. Lol These are the 2016 PB set and most are in the upper teens. I'll take some closer pics and post them this weekend. The detail in the woodwork is quite nice and I'm partial to the significant quotes on the back of each book. Just know that if you buy from him, there is a delay. He only crafts what he sells, and it's something he said he would note in the auction. After much back and forth, he offered this: If you feel so inclined, you can share coupon code RKIXWZX. It will give 10% off the Dark Tower set when ordered from my website ComputerAidedCrafting.com." He did take an offer on eBay, but I bet he would go even lower withouth eBay fees.

Oh, and it is real leather. There's no denying that smell. The only drawback is that the wood could use some staining. Aside from that, it's a very unique Dark Tower compliment.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

All that, PLUS surround sound?

[TnTzDad]

All that, PLUS surround sound?

The art and books are in my room, where it's safe from "the roomie". The surround is in the living room.

[webstar1000]

Prints are some nice!

Very interesting. I really like that set

Very nice ... the DT set and the prints...

[Hunchback Jack]

I love both the prints and the DT covers and slipcase. Very interesting and unusual.

Thanks man! Now, if I can find another host site. It seems that if I delete pics on Imgur they disappear here. Or am I doing something wrong that keeps them from bonding permantently here?

If you delete pics from any hosting site, then the pics are gone and the links are broken, and thus the pic will no longer appear here (or anywhere else you posted the pic).

I guess I've never noticed (or maybe even seen) the boards of the numbered Gunslinger before. Those bullet casings are really neat!

Very sorry to read you're unloading the set, but good luck nevertheless.
I crazy curious as to "why" ebay? Are the fees worth it?

[TnTzDad]

I crazy curious as to "why" ebay? Are the fees worth it?

I thought long and hard about the decision, both to part with them and where. As for why, it came after a change in how I see things after losing my father. I've already sold most all of my 1sts / AE's, with some extras on eBay right now. RF already posted about them on the Intruiging section.

Why eBay? After all is said and done for media sales and Paypal fee it's 15%. Betts consignment is 15%. The real difference is that I want to offer these in a manner that offers everyone the chance, to let the people decide what they're worth.

Best of luck to all interested!

Giving those interested time to save up, sell stocks or other books, for the pricey ones on the hottest online selling day of the year.
