Yeah, very cool Cwalker!
Plus, you can 1 more to the running total.
Today I picked up an event-signed copy of Finder's Keeper's.
I made a promise not to divulge the identity of the seller or how much I paid,
but I can assure you that the pedigree of this signature is beyond question.
And to think that I always thought I used up all my good luck just meeting my wife...
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
Absolutely love them! Priceless!

Any #95 SK-related Cemetery Dance Edition

Sleeping Beauties: Signed Tour version.
Don't feel bad--I don't have any that were signed in person either.

This may sound sacrilegious to some, but I have had 3 books signed in person... and I have sold them all. For me it was a means to an end, enabling me to purchase books that (at that time) I would never have been able to afford. (S/L Stand for example). I still have other flat signed books, but I would always rate the S/L's over these. Plus I will always have the memories of meeting King in person.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

I totally understand selling the extra copies of signed books you get in person to subsidize a s/l purchase, but wouldn't you want just one inscribed to you by him, in person? To me that's a holy grail along side the s/l's I want.
oh hell yes, but getting personal inscriptions is pretty hard these days, even if you are in the US. Given that I'm in the UK, the only slim chance I have of this is the HF Grand Prize. A personally inscribed copy of a book would need to be pulled from my dead fingers....
