Book Collection:MikeDuke

**MikeDuke** · 03-23-2016 07:31 AM

So, it's been a while, but I just jumped in big time. I got The Stand Limited from Betts. I am really excited. It's one that every collector tires to get. Dave was nice enough to let me split up the payments a bit. But this will be a very nice addition to my collection. To finally get something like a real limited book is very cool.

Big congratulations! That is, truly, the Holy Grail!

A very big congratulations! I was so excited to add one to my collection this year. Never thought I'd have one. A very special book indeed!

**zelig** · 03-23-2016 02:12 PM

Congratulations! Always good to hear of a King collector who adds this one to their collection. Well done.

**MikeDuke** · 03-24-2016 04:22 AM

Yea. It seems that everyone tries to get this one. There are other books that are more rare or cost more and may be worth more, but many people really want this one.
Now I have one too.

**MikeDuke** · 04-07-2016 06:25 AM

Aw Man. Guess what I got

Holy Crap does it look fantastic. I can't believe how cool The Stand Ltd looks. I am really happy that I got one.
I will try and post some pics if I can.

**becca69** · 04-07-2016 11:31 AM

Yes, it looks so much better in person!

**MikeDuke** · 04-07-2016 03:15 PM

It's probably the best looking book I have at the moment. The coffin is in perfect condition and the book looks brand new. Like it was never even read.
Yea, this was worth taking the leap.

Congratulations!

**MikeDuke** · 04-14-2016 04:57 AM

Thanks everybody. Maybe pics this weekend.

**MikeDuke** · 04-18-2016 05:35 AM

OK.
So I am working my way through the back end of Wizard and Glass and it's getting easier for me to finish. I am probably close to the part where they come back to the area that was left with all the charters I know. So then I have 5, 6, and 7, then TWTTKH to read. I was just wondering if anybody thought that King is done with this saga, or does anybody think he will keep on writing them every few years.

**MikeDuke** · 04-23-2016 08:22 AM

Going to try and add some pics

It IS good stuff! And there are a lot of collectors looking for the $7.95 Father Callahan (or third state) dust jacket for 'Salem's Lot. It is harder to find than the Father Cody one.

Nice adds, Mike.
