Your New Pride and Joy!

[Lot guy]

My Joyland Collection is now complete! I just received my ARC/Proof today. The Publisher said this & the 2 Gift Editions were all that they had left of King Inventory. My Contact has been very helpful & a pleasure working with! Reading in the proof catalogue that Jhanic knows of 4 including the one King is holding on the front of Parade. This makes number 5! THRILLED!

Now I can add this & there all there WHOOAA!

So you are saying all you did was contact the publisher and they just granted you access to the stuff?

No the ARC was given not sold because of the contact I have at that publisher for reviews. I paid for the Gift Editions, remaining from cancelled orders, unpaid/declined cards. Etc...
They aren't going to set up another buying page for 2 books I was told. Like other publishers some remaining inventory is sold to longtime customers & Business contacts. As for the rest of my Joyland collection I purchased 1 S/L & 1 Lettered from publisher. The rest were purchased on the secondary market.

Is it sad that I recognize one was a Betts box?

Yes, but I'm sure it makes David happy

Ha. That DT III used to be my book. It was a duplicate. I see it is making the rounds...

Maybe it has finally found a home!

I love that God still has his/her Easter Egg from last years competition - and that it still links to the answer

My Joyland Collection is now complete!

You know there is a Chadbourne Library bound edition now don't you ?

[DoctorZaius]

My first S/L !!!

Now I really feel part of TDT.ORG family....

Thank you Ray (SirFolio16) - Fast shipping, well packed and in mint condition.

Fairly certain that book has now been owned by at least four members here.

I think I bought it from a member here, sold it to sirfolio16, and now sharkie69 now owns it.

Is it just me or is Ned Dameron's signature just one of the coolest signatures?

[Lot guy]

Nice AKC & Simon, Great Additions!

Nice AKC & Simon, Great Additions!

If you mean the Joyland - I don't actually have that - just a picture I found.

My bad

You know the total number of signed/limited King's off the top of your head? I think skcollector has 44 listed on his limited page but wasn't sure if that was complete.

This site lists them all. Check out the Catalogues.

Too much counting, I was hoping someone would just tell me.

Do you wish to know the number of titles, the number of items, the total limitations of all titles?
Get off of your ass and go here. Add them up, then report back here to help other lazy people. Link:

Ugh, USPS:

[Merlin1958]

Ugh, USPS:

That does not look good!!

Ugh, USPS:[/URL]

That does not look good!!

Better than I expected (after seeing the box), but still bumped. It was double bubble wrapped plus newspaper on the ends, but that corner was still bumped (not surprisingly, that's a LOT of force exerted). Anyone have any tips for how the USPS operates in regard to something like this? The book was ensured for full purchase price but I'm envisioning conversations like "No, seriously, the bump and wrinkling to the slipcase definitely affects the value".

The sad part is (or good part, depending...) is there's one less perfect Skeleton Crew S/L in existence. And it WAS perfect, otherwise. Totally pristine. Cover was very slightly looser than I would expect if all you'd done was pry it up 4" like I do to view the signatures, but I don't expect a 30 year old book to be like that. Bah.

Sorry Frankie
