So, in the worlds worst ever case of "better late than never", here is my Secret Santa stuff kindly sent to me in December (yep December - and it's now May!) by Frank/Stockerlone. In my defence, I actually honestly thought I'd posted a picture of this great stuff months a go, but I hadn't. My bad!
Frank obviously put a lot of thought into sending me this stuff and it is very, very cool. The Riding The Bullet DVD has rather amazing (and eerie) light up eyes and the hardcover of Das Mädchen (The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon) has an awesome holographic cover. Was delighted with this lot of items and it has pride of place in the small "foreign editions" corner of my bookcase!
Oh, Frank also placed all the items in this exceptionally cool promo bag:
Any way - big thanks to you Frank. Loved the items (already told you that via pm ages ago) and so sorry it took me five (yes 5) months to post these in my collection thread!
Very nice Alan.. congrats. I like the bag, and that paperback at the bottom right caught my eye.
Thanks Paul! The paperback is 'Salem's Lot. Frank told me some interesting facts about these items, limitation etc, via PM a while back. I'm going to check if I still have the PM.
Congratulations Alan. I would hang your head in shame. Frank can be my Secret Santa next year if he sends awesome items like this!
Is that a German edition 'A Face In The Crowd' top right? If so, that must be the only version I have seen in print!
Haha my head is suitabley hung, Jon and yes it is indeed a hardcover of A Face In The Crowd.
Frank is "da man" as Merlin would say
Wow quite the little haul you ended up with there! Congrats, and good job Frank for assembling a killer gift.
Late.... but not to late...
It was fun to be your Secret Santa....
About the German 1.ed softcover Salem:
The psychedelic cover is from the late Celestino Piatti.
He createt bookcovers etc. for more then 6300 books,
with a print run--- more then 200 million books !!!
More from Celestino Piatti

Very cool! That Salem's Lot caught my eye as well. Makes me wish I had spent more time in bookstores when I was in Germany. lol
I like that MR. MERCEDES bag!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Thanks guys and glad you can hook Steve up, Paul!!
Some great scores there!
Very nice new additions Alan, that Carrie is in amazing condition! Congratulations.
Wow Alan! That Carries a beaut. Where did you find that???
"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
Absolutely amazing additions! Love that copy of Carrie!
Fantastic Alan. Congratulations!
Nice, Alan!!!
