Blame John, we all blame John when it comes to proofs. :P

btw, congrats!

Mice stuff Tippy.
Congrats to turtlesong welcome to the Collecting world.

People, proofs are NOT worth collecting! No-one wants those. Don't buy them! And especially, don't bid against me! :innocent:

Picked up a few comics the other day. Also received a nice copy of The Running Man. It had a pre-fabricated plastic DJ cover, the likes of which I have never seen. Tough to see in the pic, but it is embossed inside and says "178
DON GRESSWELL
JACKET"

I have these plastic sleeves on all my paperbacks and proofs. The 178 is the book size in millimetres. They come in hundreds of sizes.

Yea, I own a few too, I think I bought mine at Bro-Dart. I know my Colorado Kid paperback is housed in one. If you want full protection a bag is better, but these keep the covers perfect.

Just recieved my DONALD DUCK and Friends #335

and it does include the spoof of Shining (entitled The Quacking), which is the same that have been published in netherlands

This is a new art book by Centipede Press. Artists Inspired by Lovecraft. As you guys know from ‘Salem’s Lot he makes huge books, and this is no exception. It was measured at 17 pounds and the traycase is over a foot wide, and a foot and a half tall. It’s a beast. It also comes with a folder of art prints.

Btw, I usually don’t care for novels to be oversized, but artwork I don’t mind. But, there is no way to read this book, except on a table. lol

I was on the fence about this book, but Jerad gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, so I ended up grabbing a copy. It came today and WOW - the pictures are impressive, but seeing it up close is very awe inspiring! Can't wait for the Masters of the Weird Tale: HP Lovecraft now!

May I ask how much does that book costs?

Thanks!

Theres two states this books come in (although the book itself is identical in both).

One comes in a slipcase, regular price is $395, its on sale right now for $295.

The other comes in a traycase with a portfolio of extra prints, the traycase and prints are limited to 150 copies. Regular price is $495, its on sale right now for $395.

Ari -

If you are looking at purchasing this book keep in mind its huge weight, as shipping will be expensive. It ran $50 for me, and Canada is a days drive from Colorado. To Argentina.... I don't even want to guess :cry:

Agreed, I would guess $150+ for shipping

Ouch.

Nevermind...maybe in another life.:)

THANKS!

Bett's put this on sale, so I decided to jump on it.

It was not too high on my wish list, but there are so few copies available.

Looks nice. Is that a PC copy of the lettered edition or the numbered edition? King signed the lettered edition that came in a traycase but I don't remember if he signed the numbered edition or not. Regardless, nice purchase and one that I don't have in my collection.

Congratulations to everyone with new purchases.

Hmmmmm now you have got me thinking.

It is signed by King, but it came in a SLIPCASE...not a TRAYCASE.

And you are correct....he only signed the lettered.

Seems like a got a lettered book...in a numbered case.

Not so happy with my purchase now! :arg:

I'll have to check my copy when I get home. I've got a lettered and I THINK it came in a traycase, but not 100% sure without looking. I suspect you still got a good deal, especially if it is signed by King.

I think all or some the PC of the lettered edition does come only in a slipcase as I have one myself.

May I ask what did you pay for your copy, Tippy?
