Book Collection: Bad Penny

[Bad Penny]

Okay, enough lurking in the background - time to start a little thread of my own on this most illustrious forum.

Welcome to the start of my little collection of odds and ends (primarily, I collect Stephen King books, art and ephemera).

As you may gather, moving forward, I tend to have a Pennywise theme happening (my avatar is a Glenn Chadboure original and the opening thread picture being a limited edition marionette).

I'll start with some general views of my reading room (detail and individual books will come a little later on down the track).

Please, enjoy



A few of the awesome Dolso cases that I'm fortunate enough to have in my collection.



Some more Dolso awesomeness (and a peek at some of the ARC's and SK UK 1st Editions)



A different view, including some of the SK related art and ephemera littering my room.



Some more Dolso goodness, a head shot of Big Penny (and an oil painting of same)



Full shot of Big Penny and some of the framed art.

Awesome!!! You know I LOVE those "Dolso" cases, but the other things that are "teased" Righteous!!!!!

A Chadbourne/Wrightson inspired (and signed) COTW montage and a couple of pieces of ephemera.





Little Penny and some of the art that I've collected.

Scarey! But in a good way. One question, is that Colorado Kid one of the 33 numbered copies in a RED slipcase? Are the three slipcases different colors? I'm asking because the one I have is green.

You have a lot of great items there.

BP .. really nice collection
I notice you display a lot of your limited books with slip cases "backwards". Is that by preferance, or that the way they are designed to be displayed?

[Randall Flagg]

Excellent displays.

Nice collection indeed.

I also do the slipcases "backwards" if the slipcase has printing on it. Just another way to keep the light off of the spines if you can.

I do as well. Seems more uniform and denotes them as "Special" !!!


Awesome Collection BP!!!!!

[Shannon]

Wow, very nice collection! How long have you been collecting for?

Wonderful collection! I'm glad to see some love for UK editions and proofs, too.

Well, being an antipodean, I'm honour bound to include the UK 1sts in my collection (and, as you know, some of the earlier editions are significantly scarcer than their US counterparts). As regards the proofs, I have a scattering, however; these were acquired (for the most part) by accident rather than design)

[biomieg]

Well, it so happens that I have a couple of proofs looking for a new home. If you're interested, send me a PM

Looking forward to detailed pics of your prized possessions!

WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THIS?

[Brice]

Yes, do you make the masks, marionettes, etc?

Thanks Ric - As regards displaying limiteds, my personal preference is to have slip cases with printed spines with the case spine facing outward, others prefer the uniformity of having the book spine facing out, irrespective of whether the case spine is printed or not. This said, I don't think there's a wrong way or a right way, just whatever appeals to the individual collector.
