Book Collection: jimimck
Hi team,
After seeing the recent collection thread by timthegreat, I thought he did such a cool job posting his collection, that I should get off my bum and get some pics of my collection up for you to check out.
I was only introduced to the world of Gift & S/L editions after coming across CD when they released Blockade Billy earlier this year. Prior to that, all I was really doing with my collection was trying to get US 1st editions, which is hard in New Zealand as we only get the UK editions released here in the book stores.
So the following is where I have got to so far. I'm probably the kind of collector who at best will look to complete a set of Gift editions, as I expect the S/L's will be too far out of reach. That being said, maybe, just maybe, I'll convince my wife we really do need a copy of the coffin S/L Stand lol

UK 1st/1st Salem's Lot, and a 1st/1st US Shining. The US isn't in the best condition, but I'm happy its a first

One of my absolute pride and joys, 1993 Easton Press Dead Zone. I love this edition. I need to pick myself up a slipcase from The Collector. The UK standard edition with it.
-
A later printing 1st edition FireStarter with it's UK companion. The US copy is an OK placeholder until I find a 1st/1st.
-
The 1st/1st US copy of Cujo does have a couple of small tears in the dustjacket, but perhaps a Brodart cover may help hide those. But then I can always do with an excuse to get a better copy...
-
1st/1st US Different Seasons, with a book club UK version.
-
Christine is one of my favourite King stories, and so I was please when I picked up this 1st/1st US copy just this year.
On a side note, I was watching the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Back to School the other night, and noticed that actor who played his son was also the actor who played Arnie Cunningham in the movie of Christine. There is a useless bit of trivia for ya.
-
I think this is a UK 1st/1st of Talisman, and is just a standard Cycle of the Warewolf
-
A 1st/1st of the US edition Skeleton Crew (that could do with a nice new dustjacket) and a UK book club edition.
-
Two nice 1st/1st's of IT. And by IT, I mean IT, not The Star Invaders that I picked up for One Million Dollars! (said in best Dr Evil accent)
-
A couple of 1st Eyes of the Dragon. The US copy is in terrible condition however, and is at best a place holder...
-
I think Tommyknockers (seen here with a 1st edition and a later printing with gold writing that wants to come off), was the first story of King's that I read where I picked up on him making reference to himself. I love it when he does stuff like that.
-
Two nice 1st editions I picked up this year
-
Two 1st editions. I think this is one of the few covers where I like the UK one better.
-
A couple of block mounted pictures that one day I would like to have a copy of the book shelved just underneath
-
Two very Needful items in good condition.
-
A 1st of Gerald's Game, and a UK Dolores. Does anyone else wonder how Dolores got made in to a film?

Another US 1st with its UK cousin.
-
The red one is only a 3rd printing, but I'm sure it won't be for long.
-
I'll keep this UK Rose Madder as a reading copy, as I haven't actually read it yet. US 1st Regulators.
-
I love this Gift edition. The slipcase, the artwork, the cover, the fact I have one! Its all good. Next to a US 1st.
-
Two 1st's. The UK edition is actually flat signed by the man himself!
-
US 1st next to the pop up book of the same name.
-
Both US 1sts. For some reason these two US editions are very easy to find here in NZ. Thats some Hearts Dog Tags next to the book.
-
US 1st next to the UK edition. I believe there is a UK edition with the Black/White reversed?
