P.S. Marsha informed me that that pallet of books you sent to be signed has arrived.
I'll get to them promptly, but probably not until tomorrow."
That's a crazy made up P.S.
...SK would never delay signing books for Matt...
Congratulations Man! Awesome stuff...Quote:

Hey! Congratulations, Kerry!
Thanks to everyone for the notes!
Here are some of the quotes I am considering for an inscription:
"Books are uniquely portable magic" a King favorite
"Books were an escape, books were freedom" from Finders Keepers
"Never tell a lie when you can tell the truth" from Mister Mercedes
"Eighty percent of success is just showing up" from MM
"After all, everyone casts a shadow" from End of Watch
Any thoughts? I am leaning toward the slip cased set of the triology since I already have the others signed.
I would present him with all of the trilogy quotes and ask him to pick. You never know, he may just put one in each! :evil:
GREAT choice... I always said if I got the chance no matter what book it was... I would have him say "Do you like ballons that float Kris? or something along those lines. hahaQuote:

As for the trilogy quotes I like:
"Books were an escape, books were freedom" from Finders Keepers & "After all, everyone casts a shadow" from End of Watch
I also like Simon's idea. Provide King with one quote from each book and let him decide. Perhaps he'll take the suggestion and run with it. :dance:
As discussed..... The Trilogy is the obvious choice.Quote:

I particularly like:
"Never tell a lie when you can tell the truth" from Mister Mercedes
"Books were an escape, books were freedom" from Finders Keepers
"After all, everyone casts a shadow" from End of Watch
Yes, I am thinking Simon hit the nail on the head. I like all the quotes and you never know he might like the idea of choosing or writing one in each!Quote:

No matter what he writes, in which book, you will have an extremely cool, unique item. You might even get the earliest dated signed Hodges Trilogy. Keep in mind that the book releases on Tuesday 6/28/2016. It then has to be sent to King's office. Even if It's sent priority mail, it's unlikely King will get to it until well after the 4th of July.
