I'm pretty sure we're going to have to start calling you Dictionary.

VERY NICE!
Ah, another bastardisation by the Colonies... See the English Dictionary meaning...
Lovely!
That is the best rebound set out there. Hands down my favourite, and what a triple whammy! All signed.
Amazing.
Good work getting the pages swapped over.
Wow!! That was very cool of, RF to do for you!!! Excellent!!!! I do love it when a plan can come together for all involved!!!
So I feel that dustjackets on these just don't do the books justice. I think the nubuk needs to breath and show off that custom binding. It looks good like this.

They look brilliant. Congrats TJ...
Beautiful!
Beautiful and I agree, much classier without the DJs. :)
Much better! To be really honest: I hate the cover art of the trilogy (especially the spines with the smileys). This is much much better)
The dj's do obscure a beautiful spine. Cool thing is, the owner can display it many a different way.
Many thanks everyone! Seeing it in person and feeling the material is amazing, great choice RF.
Btw - a side note on the trilogy DJs there is an annoying flaw, the 'End of Watch' title on the spine is a lighter red and looks faded almost pink/salmon. I have seen this on 3 sets now. Anyone else that have it notice that?
Don't they know that 90% of collectors have some level of OCD? :wtf:
Hi my good friends in DT land! - It's been a while since I've updated my collection thread. Well, the good news is I have completed my King collection. :dance: That is, with all of my personal gaps, etc. This of course does not include future editions and current pre-orders. I have since been moving most of all my duplicates/multiples aside and am going to be sending to Betts. Most are gift editions, some S/Ls, and some artwork and portfolios. Hopefully some end up on some of your shelves.
I wouldn't have been able to fill these gaps hadn't I received the help from many of you all here. So many many thanks!
I have been continuing my collection for other authors I read and collect (McCammon, Lansdale, GRRM, Brown, Hobbs, Scalzi, Abercrombie, etc). Most in the Sci-Fi / Fantasy genres. I have filled almost all my gaps with non-King books I've been after as well. It feels nice to have some collectible closure so to speak. I have also been listing, here and there, some of my multiples for non-King. I just needed a little 'house cleaning' so that this habit didn't turn hoarding. It was getting close.
Here are some updated picks of the main cases and shelves. A handful of new things as well. As always please feel free to let me know if you want to see any specific books in more details, or have questions, etc.
Thanks for lookin' :thumbsup:

Just picked these up recently from SP-Books. These numbered limited editions (of 1000) were discussed on another thread (other collectible authors, I think). I really enjoy these a lot. They are handwritten manuscript copies of The Great Gatsby and Frankenstein. Really really neat to read and see their own edits, cross outs, editions, deletions, and notes.

Outstanding. What are the three books to the left of the Mr. Mercedes trilogy?
Wow. Why do I even bother looking. Extremely impressive collection.
Beautiful!
