Book Collection: deadohsky

[deadohsky]

This is the bulk of my library. I have 30 or so art (sci-fi) oriented books i don't currently have pictures of, and a bunch of paperback sci-fi from the 60's and 70's also no pictures as i have no shelf space for them. The majority is Stephen King as you will see. It is no where near as expansive or impressive as most of the collections here, but i am as happy as i can be with it for the moment.

Yes, the first four are book club editions may not be worth anything, but same great reads right?

One more SK picture...


The non-SK shelves (not many lol)


Bow in the shelf as i just flipped it ( i know, i need to invest in quality book shelves)



That is my current library that is shelved and on display.

[deadohsky]

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully tonight i'll get some separate/ detailed shots of some of my more prized books up.

That Art of Walt Disney takes me back a ways. It was one of the first books I ever bought for my wife! A simply lovely book in all ways!

Nice collection!!!! Love the Disney book!!!

[deadohsky]

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've logged on here, and that I've added so little to my collection in that time, sadly. Just got sidetracked with work and such I suppose.

The copy of Dolores Claiborne previous to this had water damage and needed to be replaced.



That crease is just on the clear cover over the jacket not on the jacket itself (I've run out of them)





I've got a copy of The Wind Through The Keyhole Artist Edition ordered and hopefully on the way (my girlfriend ordered it for me hence not being completely sure if it is on the way yet lol).

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.

Very cool collection deadohsky,
Thank you for sharing your library.

[Shannon]

Wow, so weird. I've always glanced at the cover of Dolores Claiborne and saw a doll at the bottom of a well. Now I see that is not so.

[needfulthings]

Some great stuff & just to let you know that The Art of Walt Disney book came with a clear glassine dust wrapper with the title & authors name on the cover write-up & other book information on the end flaps. VERY FRAGILE & I am sure most of them are gone after 34 years. Mine has a few cracks & chips and I bought it new. The reissue in 1975 did not have a glassine wrapper.

[deadohsky]

Thanks for the link, jhanic.

needfulthings, Yeah, I was aware of that and unfortunately, although not surprisingly, mine is nowhere to be found. I might have ruined it myself actually. My parents got the book for me as a toddler. When I rediscovered it after they passed I noticed that as a child I had traced around Mickey and his paint bucket with a pencil, thankfully I was able to clean it up without any damage.

I keep forgetting that I bought some of the Marvel comics, the ones I could find easily anyway.




I'm very grateful my father was as into space as he was.



Apologies on the picture quality, I've had to use my phone lately.

Very nice collection !!!

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.)
