Aside from a few ARCs by unknown authors I scored while working at Borders, I have never had anything "collectible" until our very own Turtlesong sent me a first edition first printing of Black House *woot* and a copy of Tommyknockers that I think I need her to re-tell me what is special about it. Anyway, these new possesions inspired me, and I saw a teeny used bookstore in a little town we had been passing through on the way home from kayaking and I found my first awesome used book find!
A first edition Regulators in really nice condition for only $7!! I was so proud of myself. And grateful for the over-the-phone coaching I got from Turtle to be sure I was holding what I thought I was holding. Just wanted to share!!
I'll give you a first/first signed The Stand if you give me turtlesong's number. :evil:
Me too! And I don't even have it yet. :lol:
Ok, you and Brice can have half each. I'll have to break out my chainsaw. :lol:
Turtlesong, seriously though. I'd be cool as hell to talk to you.
Hell, I'll kidnap her and deliver her for the whole book. :innocent:
Done deal Brice. Please inject her with the syringe that I'm sending you. It's very important that she is sedated at the time of delivery.
:panic:
So Ricky - to get this thread back on topic, is THIS your new pride & joy? :lol:

Yup, sure is! Thanks to my best friend Brice, I am now the proud owner of a human being! After watching Saw, I have many plans for her. Muahahaha.
:panic: RUN turtle RUN!
:rofl:
So here is the book I teased you all with late last week. It just arrived 10 minutes ago.
It is an ARC of Coldheart Canyon by Clive Barker. It is inscribed to actress Whoopi Goldberg and Clive did an original sketch underneath the inscription.
Here it is:

So John . . . it looks like you didn't get 2 by mistake? :(
I suppose I've caught the collecting bug (thanks, T/song!) I just google searched a list of used book sotres and placed a bid on an interesting set of King first editions. Wish me luck on that! (No really, do, because I already have some of them, so I'll have some to give away!).
