I think it's great.
It also reminds me I only have one DJ version of Insomnia.:angry:
I like them together like that.
boomme... wow
My recent additions are page 15, issue #4 of Gunslinger Born (shows the boys riding into Eyebolt Canyon) and my Whelan remarqued DT7 arriving yesterday from Australia.
Thats really cool. Im going to an Al Gore book signing today. Will post photos later!
nice collection funky.... looks like a great start of a growing collection (also looks like you're going to need a new bookcase soon)
and i like your album collection? to the side.
i have been a mobile and club dj (second jobs) for 18 years... when i first started out.... i primarily had to use vinyl or cassettes, since that was what was predominantly available. needless to say i have a collection of LP's and 45's out the wazoo.... along with several $800.00 turntables- all stored in closets now. man i hated unloadeding/carrying those trunks of albums into gigs - especially if there were stairs....talk about heavy.
That remarque is sweet Oy! very nice...
I just received this today. This means that I have all proofs of the Dark Tower series except the orange Plume proof of Gunslinger.

Thanks. Yes I have been Dj'ing since late '92 and all of my records are in the closet next to those. I have so many that they fill the closet and are now coming out into the room. I still play vinyl but I mostly play cd's now, and those 2 technics that I have are collecting dust, while the newer cdj's are being used extensively!
I am very proud of my collection, when I started out I had mostly paperbacks and just about all of those are gone now. Most of those books have been purchased at used books stores by paying anywhere from 99 cents to $7. The only big purchases were the DT 1-4 books which I didn't have in hardback and I really only sprung for those about 6 months ago. I still go faithfully every Saturday around town looking for books that people think are just trash, such as my Firestarter which I don't believe has ever been read. But I have fun and my wife thinks I am nuts, but she said she'd rather have me collecting books that I can hand down to my son than a bunch of records that she is tired of tripping over! :lol:
These are awesome collections! All my SK is in paperback that I bought at a bookstore or from a library sale, with the exception of The Shining, which is a hardcover I found at my aunt's once. It has no jacket and I have no idea how to tell what edition etc. it is.
Awesome John!
I got a nice surprise in the mail today! Postscripts 10 Hardback - signed by all 25 contributors including Joe Hill and Stephen King!
Check out the left eye of the person on the cover! The pupil is a skull!

and one signature page

Now is that the signed hardcover ($50) or the slipcased hardcover ($150)?
(edit)
Looking at the ISBN, I am pretty sure it is the $150 slipcased hardcover. Post a pic of the slipcase if you have a chance.
Did you get the $50 signed hardcover too? And if so...is it signed by King and Hill?
Very nice guys.
Congrats John, just the orange Plume to go. You'll find one soon, I have no doubt!
Cr, you always get stuff first.:thumbsup:
I guess that means mine will be here in a week.
It is not the slipcased version, and yes as you can see it is signed by Joe Hill and Stephen King. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it up!
Well RF I ordered 20th Century Ghosts from PS Publishing (the hardcover version) and never got it - Pete mailed it twice and twice it was lost and finally Pete mailed me the Trade Paperback version and refunded me the difference. So I don't ALWAYS get mine first.
Perhaps though as its coming from England and I live on the east coast that has something to do with it!
Well that is weird, because according to the PS website, the slipcased edition has an ISBN # of 9781905834815, which is what yours shows.
I am wondering now if the only difference between the two books is that one has a slipcase and one does not?
(edit)
According to Bev Vincent, the slipcased edtion will be signed by the writers AND artists.
So i guess for an extra $100 you get the slipcase and the artists' signatures.
I'm glad to see that PS 10 is finally shipping. I can't even remember if I ordered the Signed or the Slipcased. It was late and many emails were involved.
I agree. Initially I pre-ordered this book when it was announced because Joe Hill and Steven Erikson (great fantasy writer) were in it, and it just had a killer line-up. But I didn't care for the artist signatures and just bought the signed hardcover. When it was announced that King now had a story in the book I emailed PS asking if the hardcover would be signed, and Peter said he couldn't guarantee that it would be. So I paid an extra $90 (I think) upgrading to the slipcased edition.
I hope there is some bells and whistles with the slipcased edition, but I doubt it. the one hope I have is, this is the first slipcased edition of their hardcover magazine, so hopefully it will be something special?
btw, I hope people read the whole book, instead of just the King and Hill stories, there is some really great stuff. Including 8 pieces from Michael Marshall Smith, a relatively unknown author that just might knock your socks off (I hope, as I haven't read it yet, but he's good). As well as Connie Willis, Erikson, Lebbon, Cooper, and many others. It's a great line-up!
I've got one of each of the editions ordered, the trade paperback, the hardcover and the signed limited. When I (eventually) get them, I'll let you all know!
John
As stated above, there was no initial guarantee that the regular hardcover was going to be signed by King, just the slipcased edition. Anyone who got the regular hardcover for $50.00 should just look at it as having gotten a great deal. Having ordered the more expensive one, I won't begrudge anyone who got a deal on the $50.00 edition. It was a fluke.
I don't particularly believe that the $50.00 one will badly hurt the value of the more expensive, slipcased version, but just like with the Colorado Kid controversy, if it upsets anyone that much and you feel like you got rooked on the slipcased edition, just cancel your order.
I'm sure someone else out there will be more than willing to snatch it up ;)
I'll have to see if I can gather them all up. I still have a ton of stuff at my mom's house that wouldn't fit into my apartment, and I left almost all my books there :( When I get the pics up though, it will give everyone something to laugh at :lol:
If anyone is selling their slipcased edition...I am looking :)
