Book Collection:MikeDuke

An inspiring story, Mike. I'm very sorry you went through that, but very glad you're here to share our collecting bug. And while I'm not of a religious disposition, you go right ahead talking about your beliefs.

Thanks HBJ, Yea, it was quite the experience. I have to be careful how I answer the rest of your statement so I won't. It's not that I can't follow up, it's just that it's not what people might expect and this is not the place for such a discussion. I am going to be quiet now.

Just ordered an Outsider. First ed, 14th printing. It's from a signing event. I am happy with this. At least I got one. Even this is still rare I think. And a true first signed would be just a bit outside my budget right now. I am still hoping for more throughout the rest of the year.

What event was that, Mike?

Very cool! Are you looking forward to the upcoming show on HBO? (I think)

I don't know where it is but it was an event called The Word Play book event. I have no idea how many he signed there either.

I haven't read the book but yea, I always looking forward to some King goodness.

[MikeDuke]

Well, I got my stuff from Ralph. I will open it soon (Ralph went all crazy tape on me). Then pics will follow.

FYI...King signed 375 copies for the Wordplay event. This is from the email the organizers sent out:

To encourage early pickup, the first 100 people to pick up wristbands on Tuesday, April 30 and the first 100 people to pick up wristbands on Saturday, May 4 will receive Fast Passes to purchase a signed copy of Stephen King's The Outsider. Stephen King is signing 375 copies of The Outsider in advance and we will be giving out 200 Fast Passes who will have first access to purchase the signed copies.

Thanks for the info. It's good to know. That's not a ton at that event.

[MikeDuke]

Pics of the stuff I mentioned already and something new, maybe this weekend.

[MikeDuke]

I have Sleeping Beauties waiting for me at home. It looks like a fantastic book from the pics I have seen.

[MikeDuke]

Well, this is one massive book. The case is just about as tall as IT but maybe a lit bit wider. It's also taller than The Stand, but The Stand is a little bit wider in the spine. Pics might take a while because I have a lot of stuff going on and
people have already taken some nice pics. But I will get pics of this, my signed Outsider, and the case for my proof when I can. Now we just see what it still in my wheel house.

[MikeDuke]

I hope to be able to put some pics up sometime this weekend. The King stuff of course. But do people want to see my Barker stuff as well. It's not a ton, but some interesting stuff.

[Munnecom]

I vote yes. I have a small Barker collection myself and I’d be interested in seeing other people’s too.

[peripheral]

Show. Me. BARKER!

Show me the HELLPRIEST, Shaman!

[MikeDuke]

OK. I still need to get that Hellrasier book but some of the other stuff is pretty cool, at least I think it is.

[MikeDuke]

Now here is the first batch
Here is the case for my Blue Line proof




Came out Stellar, thanks to Ralph and his friend.

[MikeDuke]

Next is my 14th ed Flat signed of The Outsider

[MikeDuke]

And finally, the big one, literally, Sleeping Beauty






and a close up of the sigs. Don't know if this is a strange order or coloring because I know people are talking about it.

[MikeDuke]

That's it for now. Maybe some Barker this afternoon. We shall see.

[The Library Policeman]

Great stuff Mike. Congratulations!

Very interesting books, I like that latch...

Did you get the signature personally?

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Guys.
Steve, No, I did not get it personally. I bought it from Ralph, Like all the Barker stuff I am about to up.
