Book Collection:MikeDuke

[MikeDuke]

Great Barker stuff! Do yourself a favor a pick up a reading copy of The Damnation Game - it's his best, IMO, although I have not read all of his stuff

Thanks. And will do. I am not sure when or what I will start with. But I will get through them.

[MikeDuke]

I know I have been quiet lately but that is about to change. Just bought a pretty cool item. Plus I will be getting something on Sat. Some exciting stuff to me.

[Hunchback Jack]

I can't wait, Mike!

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Peter. I am glad to have both new items in my collection. Like I said, one should be here on Sat. The other, I don't know because I just bought it today.
Some people can probably guess what one of them is though.

I guess it has two sharp points. What do I win?
I'm avoiding looking at all the pictures of this particular book until mine gets here, I think Thursday. I want to be surprised.

You win my respect Steve, for what it's worth. But I still have another item coming that will be kept a secret until I get it.
And again, I took a look at your collection. Fantastic. I forgot you had a 1st\1st Salems' (I just want a second state). In addition to a whole bunch of other awesome stuff.
I will just keep on moving up as I can and get the best I can.

[MikeDuke]

OK. People probably guessed what the one book was, but, the other one... I am excited to have. A true 1st ed, 1st printing flat singed Outsider. I understand that these are pretty rare and hard to get since he did no signing for them and the fact that the publisher put out so many printings all at once. So I have two "rare" first ed. I have Mr. Mercedes (which I don't think he had any signing events) and a true 1st ed Outsider (where he had no signing events either). I am very happy to what might be two rare books in my collection.

[Randall Flagg]

Excellent. Very few signed 1st's of either title out there.

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Randall. I really am happy to have both.

Thanks Chad. Sometimes you just have to make the leap when something like this comes along. I was surprised that it lasted as long as it did.
But I am really happy I got it.
