Book Collection: Letti

[Letti]

I am not a big collector but I am in love with books and when I have a little money I buy them eagerly.
Anyway I have Hungarian editions (how interesting) and I thought some of you would be interested in them - however they are not so nice.


Here are the Hungarian DT editions (you can see I have only six of them because the last book hasn't been published yet):

[Cutter]

cool Letti! it's nice to the Hungarian editions, as I've never seen them before. :)

[Matt]

Me neither, looking at those pics is cool as hell. :wub:

[Erin]

That Hungarian cover of It is the creepiest thing i've ever seen! :lol:

Awesome collection though Letti, it's so neat to see the Hungarian perspective on the books.

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, Letti!

My wife just got back from Hungary. Before she left, I told her to get me ANY Stephen King book, but she forgot! She and her sister are going back next year, so I'm going to show her your pictures (especially of the Dark Tower books) so she know what to get me.

John

[Letti]

Oh... thank you guys... :wub:

[MonteGss]

Nice pictures Letti! Thanks for sharing with us. :)

I had a paperback of IT (English) with the same picture...I wish I still had it but it was stolen. :( The current on I have isn't as cool.

[Patrick]

I'm impressed as hell by anyone fluent enough to read an entire book in two different languages. Kudos to you, Letti!

Foreign editions are always interesting to see. Thanks for sharing.

Hope you like Odd Thomas. :)

[Letti]

Awww, thank you for your kind words, Patrick.

I love 1984 and Orwell.

The English and the Hungarian editions next to each other:

The English one a bit closer, I love the cover a lot:

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations!!!
Really cool!

[funky dredd]

Nice collection Letti!

[Storyslinger]

Kick'in collection
i'm jealous

[Letti]

Uh, thank you all. Really.
I love books.
I love my books.

I started to work in a restaurant as a cleaning lady when I was about 16 and it was my first workplace.. when I got my first payment in my life I ran to a bookshop and I started to buy books. I felt free. And I felt - "damn, it's good to work".
At home I put them on my bookshelf proudly.
I felt wonderful.

[Storyslinger]

I know the feeling

truly am happy for you:D

[Letti]

;)
My mom told me I was crazy. "Girl.. you have money and you buy books." :D However she loves reading. Still she thought I should have bought something else from my little money.

[Storyslinger]

That's the way parents are save, save, save

wish i would have done some of that, but i don't regret buying a single book

[She-Oy]

I too enjoyed looking at the Hungarian copies. That's really cool Letti! I'd like to see other copies of King in foreign languages.
It's something I've never really considered before.

[Letti]

I have some more Hungarian King books. I will send pics of them soon.

[Storyslinger]

:sits and waits eagerly: :tail begins to wag:

[Letti]

Okay.
Here you are:

Nightshift

[Storyslinger]

:jaw drops: :bends over and picks up dislogded jaw:
WOW :D

[Letti]

*laughs* For me they are... so normal. Ordinary.
For you... they are unique.
Great. :D

[Storyslinger]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:

[She-Oy]

They really take the "horror" thing up a notch in Hungary don't they? Those covers are nearly as threatening in the US! I like yours!

[NeedfulKings]

These are quite impressive, Letti!!! Thanks for sharing--I love the Hungarian DT books. Wow! :)

[jhanic]

I think I recognize the last three--Carrie, Dolores Claiborne and Pet Semetary, but is the first one King's Black House?

John

[Letti]

The first one is Nightshift.

(thanks guys)

[Patrick]

Cool covers!

[lepra79]

very cool Letti!!!

i´m never see a Hungarian SK book´s

[Asterisco]

Very nice indeed! congratulations!

[Storyslinger]

Just got re- amazed

[Letti]

Thanks. I will see if I have anything interesting on my shelves for you. :)

[Storyslinger]

*eagarly waits*

[Letti]

You know I have moved not a long time ago and yesterday I got my bookcase at last!!!!
Here it is:

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/case002.jpg

I am in love with it. I can't stop watching it.
I will send new pics of my new books as well.

[jhanic]

Very nice, Letti! I wish my bookcases were half that good!

John

[Letti]

Thank you.
I cannot wait go to home to watch it. :wub: When it arrived and I started to put my DT books on the shelf (of course there were the first to meet their new home) I heard that my Moon told to our friend that I was a paniac. :lol: I can imagine myself..

[alinda]

Way to go dear Letti, as always your dreams
make us smile, and leave us wanting more!
Thank you for sharing them with us. :D

[wizardsrainbow]

Congrats Letti and enjoy!

[Patrick]

Sweet set-up, Letti!

[Letti]

I am in the "look what I have mood" so here are some stuff I haven't posted here yet but I am truelly in love with them.

got from turtlesong (thanks a million)
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/gift004.jpg

and this one is from David (I have no words to say thank you)
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/gift004-1.jpg

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, Letti! Congratulations!

John

[Patrick]

Good stuff, Letti. I like how you put your Jae Lee signed comic up on your wall for the world to see.

[Letti]

Thank you for the kind words.

Let me show you my oldest book.
It's from my favourite Hungarian author, Zsigmond Móricz. It's one of my favourite novels by him.
it was a present from a dear friend.

Look. (how simple but it was much cheaper to print this way)

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/old001.jpg

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/old002.jpg

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/old003.jpg

So it was published in 1922. It's 86 years old.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/old003x.jpg

[Letti]

And I think I must have posted this pic in another thread but it belongs here as well.
I got an amazing box from Jerome and I found these in it:

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/pack003.jpg
So they are on my DT shelf, too.

[Patrick]

Nice old book there, Letti.

I know you have various U.S. DT comic books. How about taking of a photo for us of all the ones you have together in one photograph?

[Letti]

With the biggest pleasure, Patrick.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/comics007.jpg
I will be thankful for you and for Jerome as long as I live. It's still hard to believe that they are on my shelf.

And I have this one on my wall.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/gift004-1.jpg

[turtlex]

Great comic collection, Letti.

How hard is it for you to get US comics there?

[alinda]

Letti, you are so fortunate ! The collection isn't nearly as humble as your title suggests.
Very nice :D

[Letti]

Great comic collection, Letti.

How hard is it for you to get US comics there?

It's almost impossible. Many companies don't deliver to Hungary because of the horrible post service. Many books, letters and packages get lost... so they don't want to take the risk and I can understand them.
We have some English book stores but usually they sell only books.
So it's quite hard.

Thank you, Linda.
Each piece of the collection lives in my heart.

Good stuff! I notice the photo cut off the Sketchbook and the Daily Bugle - heck, even Wizardsrainbow doesn't have a Daily Bugle in his collection!* I thought you had some other promo items related to the comic series, but I may be mistaken.

Both the Sketchbook and the Daily Bugle are from you, dear Patrick. Here is a pic where both of them are visible.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/comics002.jpg

By the way you are right I have DT comics bookmarks (from you again) and I have that amazing DT poster, too. I will send pictures of those, too.

I am spoilt to bits. Really... It's so incredible. I don't deserve it but we have so many good-hearted generous people here. I can't be thankful enough.

[alinda]

Thats just what we feel, except we will never get our fill of you!:wub:

[Patrick]

Hi Letti! I wasn't fishing for compliments, I just couldn't remember which promo items you had received (from me and others). I figured if you posted everything that you do have, then some of us might be able to fill in the holes from time to time.

:couple:

[pickle]

Letti, i notice that you have some of your comics in protective covers that have, what looks like, paper on the back. I was just wondering if you, or anyone else, knows where they can be found. As i can only find the all plastic ones.

Really lovley collection btw.

[Brice]

I think those are just thin cardboard backings that go with the bags. Any comic book shop should have them.

Letti, you have a lovely collection...and your comic collection has outgrown mine.

[Patrick]

Brice is correct.

The boards are acid-free and sit behind the comic book and within the plastic bag. The board adds structural support which protects the comic book from bends, folds, creases, etc.

Bags and boards are available in all comic book specialty stores.

[pickle]

Thanks for that, i will pick some up at the weekend.

[Letti]

Some of my presents.


Duma Key - Hungarian edition from my good friend, Susan
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/stbook001.jpg

And I took a pic of the inside to prove it's Hungarian

Everything Eventual in English *jumps up and down* from my godmother
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/stbook003.jpg

[Brice]

Awesome! I like the Duma Key cover alot. :)

Say hi to Susan for me. :)

[pickle]

I love the Durma Key book Letti.

Congrats and happy Christmas to you and your family, hope you have a wonderful day.

[Brice]

I have a real Hungarian King book too. :wub:

[Letti]

I have a real Hungarian King book too. :wub:

Now I could say PROVE IT but I myself have those pictures of both of you on my computer. :wub:
It's so great it didn't get lost between us. I'm still thankful for that.

[Brice]

Me too! Especially in light of the fact that the post office has been screwing up our mail lately. The other day we got mail for four different addresses delivered to our house. We went to the post office to complain. That day they were all promptly redelivered...to our house again. :lol:

Well, see I could say PROVE it to you about having those pictures saved. :D

[turtlex]

Congrats Letti !

[jhanic]

Letti, Congratulations on getting that Hungarian Duma Key! I really like that cover.

My wife and her sister may be traveling to Hungary this coming summer. I'm going to ask her to see if she can get a copy for me.

John

[Patrick]

Nice additions to your King collection, Letti!

Happy Christmas, and please give my best to Susan as well.

[Letti]

Thanks everyone. I love them to pieces.


Letti, Congratulations on getting that Hungarian Duma Key! I really like that cover.

John

Let me know if I can help them anyhow. I mean it.

[herbertwest]

Duma Key have a really nice cover!

[jhanic]

Thanks everyone. I love them to pieces.

Thanks, Letti. I'll do that. I don't know how much time they'll have, though, in Budapest. I think they plan on doing a lot of travel in the southern part of the country. I think the town (village?) they're going to is called Adj (Haj?). It's where their grandparents came from.

John

[Letti]

Thanks everyone. I love them to pieces.

John

I don't know any Adj... or Haj... but it doesn't mean anything. We have so many tiny villages here it's not a wonder I don't know many of them.
Anyway if they can't spend much time here in Budapest and you are really interested in that book I can buy it and give it to them at a certain place.
So... to sum up you can count on me and on all my free time.

[pickle]

I would love to travel around Eastern Europe for a few months, and not go to the touresty places like prague or kracow(sp?) either. The culture and history is amazing and the beauty of the females... wow. Then again it may not be a good idea lol.

[Letti]

I think I have said it before that let me know if any of you ever consider visiting Hungary... I will help you as much as I can. My food is your food... my free time is your free time.
Never forget me if you visit the middle of nowhere I mean my hometown, Budapest. :)

[jhanic]

Thanks everyone. I love them to pieces.

I guess this is right on the southern border. Sometimes it's in Croatia, or sometimes in Serbia, other times in Hungary.

The border keeps changing! I think my wife said she's not sure, but the village may now be in the Czech Republic.

John

[Brice]

I suspected that's what you meant. I just couldn't resist the silly response. :blush:

[Gunkslinger]

I love the artwork on the foreign editions of King books. Nice collection Letti.

[Gunkslinger]

I would love to travel around Eastern Europe for a few months, and not go to the touresty places like prague or kracow(sp?) either. The culture and history is amazing and the beauty of the females... wow. Then again it may not be a good idea lol.

I don't know if I would visit Eastern Europe. Hostel and Hostel 2 took care of that dream. :panic:

Just kidding.:)

[Letti]

I have been dreaming about this day for long.
I went to Pen Dragon to buy some present for my dear friend Gabi who is having her birthday and I couldn't stop myself I had to check the DT books too.
It was waiting for me. I could feel it. I could tell it from the very first moment we met.
I love all the DT covers but it's my favourite.
Now it's on my shelf. Incredible.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/Books/dt7001.jpg
I am in love with it.

And now I can tell I have DT7 four times. This is the first book I have bought 4 times. I have a feeling from now it won't be easy to stop..
3 in English
1 in Hungarian

I don't send bigger pictures of the others because I have already.

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, Letti!

John

[Brice]

Wow! I love that cover. I've never seen it. Is it a hardcover or paperback?

I have only one DTVII, but about eight or nine gunslingers. :lol:

It's paperback.
Yeah, I would like to have more gunslingers, too. Right now I am hooked on DT7 but I am sure Gunslingers will find me soon. I hope so will money. :rolleyes:

[Patrick]

:thumbsup: Nice cover. I like seeing all your different DT VII's together too.

[Letti]

Looklooklook!!!

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/LOVE.jpg

I am so incredibly happy right now.

[pixiedark76]

Congratulations! :dance: I was going to point out where you could buy it, but now I see you don't need me to. Actually it was vatera I believe.

[Stockerlone]

Nice collection

[Letti]

It wasn't easy for me, either. When it was published all of them got sold very fast. I could get it in a second-hand book store but it looks like a new one.
