Alec,
What a cool book, the fangs are bloody brilliant.
Thanks for sharing from your collection.
Alec,
What a joy it is to escape into such a carefully curated assemblage of King rarities! Although many of us might not ever physically possess such items, it is so nice to have the opportunity to visually appreciate these items in such artfully presented photographs. Thanks for sharing your passion with those of us that are so passionate about King.
Those fangs are drop dead perverse. This book might be my favorite one yet
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Great book, but I feel sorry for the goat. No kidding.

Spoiler:. That is a good one. 02-16-2019 09:45 AMbecca69Beautiful. My favorite part of that edition was always the Jim Croft clasps but I never knew about those fangs. That feature is so cool! 02-16-2019 11:14 AMBrian861Congrats, Alec! Absolutely stunning! 02-16-2019 02:11 PMAlecI must admit the fangs top and bottom are marvelous. Top fangs having blood on and the bottom fangs without. The attention to detail that Jerad put into this binding was remarkable.
Thank you for the like minded comments.
A real “tour de force” from Centipede Press. 02-16-2019 02:44 PMRoseannebarrCompletely awesome. Just went through your entire thread again! Amazing collection. But those Tolkien’s are the best!
M 02-16-2019 07:19 PMMikeDukeHey Alec. Can you check your PM and let me know your thoughts. I know I probably messed up. Sorry. 02-16-2019 08:55 PMAlecI did check it.
Your “PM” is full. 02-17-2019 11:08 AMMikeDuke 02-17-2019 12:07 PMStockerlone!!! SUPERSUPERSUPERAMAZINGMINDBLOWING !!! 02-18-2019 04:39 AMjon10gBeautiful book and the photography is excellent too. 02-21-2019 10:31 AMAri_RacingEvery time I visit this thread I stay for HOURS. Amazing, as always! 02-21-2019 02:48 PMAlecMany thanks to all for the comments on the King and Tolkien books. I do not feel too bad about introducing the Tolkien items into the thread as they seem to attract a deal of interest. A few more signed Tolkien books to post soon.
Again thank you for the interesting replies and enthusiasm, it is the backbone of this whole site which continually drives it forward.
Kindest regards
Alec. 02-21-2019 04:35 PMMikeDukeI never realized there were so many Tolkien books that dealt with the LOTR story. Or if they are different. Either way, thanks for the education. I mean that. 03-12-2019 02:37 AMstroppygoblinSecrets. such exciting things. When kept to oneself they can be like a high pressure build up of gas. You feel like you want to explode if you don't tell someone. A secret that can be shared though, thats a whole new thing.
I'd known about Horns prior to it's general announcement, due to a small part in its production that Paul asked of me. So when I found out that Alec was receiving the item below, I finally had someone I could talk to about it. I'm happy to say that Alec (with Pauls permission) is now able to share the following images of the Horns Prototype and original Prospectus. Im sure all of you that have ordered the lettered Edition will be excited to see these!
