I'm looking for a Herb Yellin signature. Does anyone have one they can show?

That's a tough one. I don't believe he signed Signatures.

An image search brought me back to TDT.org! This was listed a while back (Quirky King and Dark Tower Items 12-02-2015, 11:13 AM by Br!an):

You rock! Thank you!

At the risk of asking some rookie questions, I'm reviewing the completeness of my 1st edition collection and am confused with my good friend, the catalogue:

- Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne UK 1st editions. Does a complete UK 1st edition collection need the world first BCE releases? Or both the BCE and the hardback editions? Or screw the BCE's because, well, they're BCE's?

- Cycle of the Werewolf US 1st Edition. Why does the catalogue have both the Land of Enchantment and the Trade PB listed in the 1st edition catalogue? Wouldn't the first US edition be the Land of Enchantment release and the 1st UK edition be the NEL paperback?

[zelig]

Antoni, in my opinion, you should have the BCE editions in your collection. They hit the streets first and that fact makes them more collectible, even though they are BCE's. I actually still don't consider them "1st editions" but that comes down to how you define a 1st edition. For completeness, I had to have them in my collection. So yes, IMO you should have 'em.

[surly]

Presumably a book club would continue to print a title to meet demand. Would there be a way to determine if a BCE was one of the copies that were released early?

[peripheral]

Thanks Paul. And that's a good point Jim - I've checked out my BCEs and there doesn't seem to be any release time identifier...

I got around to putting a recent Green Mile-Complete Hardcover DJ into a Brodart. I've got one of the little plastic security tags stuck to the inside of one of the flaps. Please tell me that this was normal or common for this edition. Lame, if it wasn't..... or shame on me for not thinking that there is a reason something is on the cheap side of the price range.

You mean one these?



That's not good- and a bitch to remove, sorry

If you're referring to the Scribner 2000 edition, mine does not have one of those.

No, one of the thin, fully enclosed in plastic (except for the gorilla glue adhering it to the jacket. Shoot, that's a bummer that these weren't a normal thing for the Scribner 2000 edition. Since it's just for my own collection of basic US 1sts and in otherwise great shape, I may not worry about it. Anyone have a nice spare DJ out there?

Try a hairdryer on the glue.

Try a hairdryer on the glue.

Thanks for the tip. I think that will work if I do it carefully.

This may have been covered, and if so I missed it. Does the current release of CREEPSHOW start with '2' on the numberline, or does my Barnes & Noble only have 2nd printings, of which I bought one anyway.

I just checked mine and it has a full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Darn! Thanks.

I don't know if I'll ever get the 'Search' feature figured out here. I'm looking for the Desperation copy where Don Maitz painted Collie Entragian on the edge of the text block as a 'Hidden' painting.

DO you guys consider Pretty Pony with the clock a lettered or a signed limited?

[Br!an]

It's a signed limited. There are author's copies of the same edition with Roman numerals.

From the Centipede Press newsletter from the other day :

Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein
Would anyone want to see a new edition of Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein? The idea for this would be an oversize edition around 10 x 14 inches. It would be printed on very nice paper, mould-made if possible, but printed offset (there would be no way to make it letterpress with all the illustrations). The idea would be to make it two volumes: one volume as the complete Frankenstein with the illustrations, the second volume with all of the preliminary and rejected artworks that Wrightson did. We could ask about reprinting Stephen King’s introduction, or possibly having him write a new introduction. No matter what happened with that, it would probably be an expensive book, around $250 for the two volume slipcased set. Can you let me know if this would have your interest? Thank you!
