This is my first post. So figure I'd start where I can share what I have with others.

I have a large collection of books and a web site I created to display them.

Please take a look at my Stephen King collection by clicking...

The rest of the collection can be seen by changing the Sort option to Title and clicking Sort.

Let me know what you think.

Welcome to TDT.com, Craig! Nice collection. I love the website set-up too.

So what's the story behind your signed SECRETARY OF DREAMS? By the way it's signed, I'm intrigued.

For those that want a direct link...

It was a present to me from someone close to Stephen King for my service in the USAF, in particular, my presence in the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks. We started a dialog about me being a vet and I asked if it was at all possible to send a book and get it signed. I'm sure you all know how rarely SK would do something like that.

I was told I could, I asked if Secretary of Dreams was OK because of it's size and was told it was.

In addition to SK signing it to me personally, it was also signed by his assistant, Ms. Defilippo, who the book was dedicated too. Then beyond anything I could have hoped for, it was said that if I wished, it could also be sent to Glenn Chadbourne for a signature since he did the artwork.

When it finally made it's way back to me and I saw that it was signed by 3 such important people AND remarqued to boot, it instantly became the most cherished item in my collection.

Because of the number of SK items I have, my web format was a bit cluttered. I just changed it to present categories for SK items.

I'd really appreciate it if you folks would take another look and let me know what you think.

What I'm mostly concerned with is if the categories seem like a good assortment and if the items in them seem properly placed.

Same, looks fine!

I'm actually about a third of the way through putting all my books into database form. It's cool that you've done the same.

I recently moved the page off my home server onto a .NET enabled web host. The New link direct to the SK part is:

Sorry bout that.
