Book Collection: deadohsky

[deadohsky]

Can anyone enlighten me on the significance of the coloring of the boards on earlier books, like Dolores Claiborne? The original copy I replaced had orange boards and the new one has white. Is it a later printing? As far as I could tell the copyright pages are identical to one another.

Thanks in advance for any help. It's good to be back, I almost forgot how fun it is just looking through this place.

Usually the white paste downs on Viking books indicate a book club edition. In many instances they look almost identical except for the colored paste downs. (I'm guessing that's what you meant since the boards are black.)

Yeah, I meant the paste downs. Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know.

I believe you are correct, I overlooked that the dust jacket has no price, dead give away there. I can't say I've come across a book club edition as good of a quality as this is, that's what kept throwing me off. Everything about the book itself is the same quality/ identical as my damaged 1st, just those paste downs are different. Didn't realize they were so sneaky with some of their book club editions. Thanks a lot Becca.

Nice New Additions! That's the first time I've seen the endpages/pastedowns! They look nice!

[deadohsky]

Thanks, glad to be of service then lol. They are really nice, I'm grateful there wasn't more damage. Some of my favorite paste downs/end pages. Just as good as the other Grant DT firsts. These ones are smooth and somewhat glossy compared to the previous books.

Really like the presentation of the AE TWTTK production

Thanks, Bad Penny. I always feel mine (photo presentations) are lackluster compared to most here, yours included. I just try to show the important bits or bits I think people would be interested in seeing.

Anyway, this is a current updated photo of my Dark Tower books:

Taking photos is certainly a learning curve (some of my early stuff is bloody awful - some of the newer stuff still is ) - I reckon you're doing pretty okay (and I like your DT lineup - including the Plume 1sts - nice set)

deadohsky,
I noticed you slipped in Carrie & Salem's Lot w/your DT collection.
Very pretty, are they genuine 1st ed's? if so.... I bow to you

[deadohsky]

I just don't have enough DT to completely fill that shelf yet; The Shining, Night Shift, and The Dead Zone are also on that shelf. I wish they were first editions, I can't afford those yet though lol. Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, and Night Shift are unfortunately all book club.

I'm in the same boat. Just waiting for that once in a lifetime garage sale find.
