Thanks mate. And I live Down Under - Entirely different gravitational pull down here...
Cheers Brian...
Cheers buddy. And I assume you're speaking of The Terror, I love it - one of my top 10 horror novels outside of King...
Some nice additions there! Hope the DT matching set recovery goes well :dance:
Great stuff Buddy!!!!
Nice new adds. I understand the walking properly comment perfectly :) I took two months off with the kid coming and my wife keeps reminding me that I've told her no really this is my last add for awhile. But how could I pass up that Gunslinger metal case and the Regulators toy box to go with my print...
Speaking of collections, like Chris Tucker and Ice Cube once said in unison, "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!"
I continue to flesh out my non-King collectibles by adding some of my all-time favourite novels to my shelves. Here's another recent-ish haul...

These are all 1sts and flat signed, except for The Wasp Factory which is not signed. I'm especially taken by the copy of Ceremonies, which is fine and perhaps even unread. It is signed and also corrected by T.E.D. Klein. Apparently when signing he would often go through the text and make editorial corrections to the first printings. I haven't thoroughly examined the book yet, but at a glance I have noticed at least 10 corrections to the text. I have heard of other authors doing this when signing (Niven and Pournelle would apparently do it when signing copies of The Mote In God's Eye).

The Light Is The Darkness by Laird Barron and illustrated by David Ho. A limitation of 174 and published by Infernal House. I just received this two days ago and can honestly say it is in the top 10 of my collectibles for its beautiful design and production values. It's just stunning.

You're right about that THE LIGHT IS THE DARKNESS, fantastic design.
That's why I don't let authors touch my books, all they want to do is scribble in them.
Seriously though, I like that GHOST STORY too. I read that book and really liked it. (Not that particular copy, I have an old paperback of my own, thank you very much!)
That is one cool-ass s/l by Barron! Very nice!

GREAT new stuff, The Light Is The Darkness is a stunning beautiful book !!!
Congratulations on the new acquisitions Antoni! The Barron book looks like a beautiful production, and that copy of The Ceremonies with the edits is great. Not sure if you know but that cover illustration is by David Palladini.
That is one cool ass book man!
Thanks Steve... And yeah, if I had known T.E.D. wrote all through my book, I woulda shoed him in the plums.
Yeah, I loved Ghost Story when I read it in my early 20's. I remember it giving me a very unsettling feeling, but I can't recall much of the detail of the story. I plan to revisit it soon.
Oh yeah, that whole 3-Dimensional cover art is phenomenal.
Thanks man...
Cheers Frank. Yeah, that Barron S/L is a killer.
Thank you Paul. And no, I didn't know that! Cheers. An now that I'm looking at it - of course. What a great cover.
Cheers mate
Nice adds, brother!
So after I got caught up on your updates, I went through your collection thread again from page 1. You reminded me how many books by King and other authors I want to add to my collection :) Thanks Antoni for sharing, and I guess I will be adding more books to my collection shortly after seeing your post and others, realizing I want more and have a collection sickness :rolleyes2:
What's the story about BLOOD ON THE TRACKS? Is that a rare LP? I bought it when it came out and so am curious about it.
