For King, highlights are inscribed “to Paul” first editions of The Shining and The Gunslinger (my total count is now 14), a mint first edition of Night Shift, and signed first editions of Skeleton Crew and Different Seasons (both with 80s signatures). Also, finished upgrading my dust jackets on the early books by getting a mint Firestarter (amazing how white they originally were!), Eyes of The Dragon and Pet Semetary - am not looking for any others. Plus the Silver Bullet paperweight - which took me years to find.
For 2018 - a copy of Ubris with an original King story tops my list...but for the first time in a long time nothing is really burning need. I expect I will pick up one or 2 more inscribed books as they have a way of turning up. Finally, I hope we get slipcases for Danse Macabre, Talisman and Skeleton Crew from Jeff. That is all.
Happy holidays and collecting everyone! Paul
