Great work Shannon. I put a large blue Table of Contents link in the header. Hopefully members appreciate the hard work you have put in.
As one member said to me via PM:
This section is the dogs' bollocks!
Secondly, I regard the SK Proofs section as another internet best. You cannot find info like this anywhere else. John's list is well maintained and our members have provided pictures and exclusive info and insight into this specialist market. Another huge winner for TDT.org
SK First Editions is next. Our list is the best, and most educational. The majority of members and visitors will go to this section first, basically because most people can aspire to a complete collection of 1st Editions. The S/L and Proofs are out-of-reach to the majority of King collectors. Top notch.
UK 1st editions are secondary. Yes, put them in, but as a sub-section. Remember I am from the UK, but King is an American, and very proud of it.
SK first appearances of stories. King has been very prolific in his short stories throughout his long career. I think he enjoys his short stories more than his novels. We have lists and pictures of all, (well most), of his 1st appearances. This is probably the most wonderous section to TDT.net. Where else can you see pre-Carrie, and very rare editions of the 1st appearances. The visitors must wonder in amazment at the wealth of info here.
That would be my opinion of the TDT.org catalog.
Very nice to hear! By the way, I finished the basic text for the UK Trade Edition entries. I will shoot pics of all the books shortly, upload them and notify you, Jerome. When you create a new Wiki I'll add the entries. As soon as I receive my scanner I can update the entries with scans rather than pics - if you and/or others feel that it's necessary. Maybe some good pics of each book will suffice?
That is nice to hear. Yay, we're doing a good job!
You guys are kicking ass.
Scans are not required. They sometimes look better, but a nice picture(s) will suffice.Originally Posted by biomieg
Stephen King wrote an introduction for Lawrence Block's "The Sins of the Fathers" first hardcover edition, and also wrote a tribute to Fritz Leiber which was published by Grant in "Gummitch and Friends". Should these be included in the Short Works section, or somewhere else, or nowhere else?
(There is a S/L of "Sins of the Fathers", and the comment for the entry says "King contributed the introduction: “No cats: an appreciation of Lawrence Block and Matt Scudder”, so maybe it doesn't need to be included elsewhere.)
There are several hundred non-fiction things not included in the Short Works Catalog. That's why I think the fiction and non-fiction should be seperated.
We know every bit of fiction that has been published, but we will never know all the non-fiction. I know of lots of UK press interveiws that are not included in any reference. Every time King releases a book, he gives inteviews to the Times, Guardian, Independant, Scotsman, Glasow Herald etc., usually by phone.
In my collection I separate interviews (and articles about King) from true nonfiction writing by King. But even Justin Brooks is continually finding nonfiction writing by King that was previously missing from his compilations.
I sometimes feel that you guys are covering ground that has already been covered by Justin Brooks. His bibliography is truly amazing in its scope and completeness. I know when I want to look something up or confirm something I reach for his book. He has spent many, many years doing this and his bibliography is the standard reference. Are you guys trying to equal or surpass Justin's work? I think what you are trying to do has already been done. What am I missing here?
I don't believe Brook's bibliography has the graphic presentation that is in the Collectibles Catalog. It also can't be added to or updated in "real time" as can things here. Additionally, when we communicate here we aren't all sitting with a JB Bibliography in hand, but can easily open a tab and view articles in the Catalog. Each article in the Catalog can be commented on and discussed in a "live" forum whereas no comments or discussion of the bibliography are (to my knowledge) taking place. There is one thread where JB asked for members help-and that's it.
As for surpassing his work-if we did great, but that isn't my goal; certainly complimenting-supplementing his work is.
I guess that I have just had a copy of the latest edition of Justin's bibliography on the shelf above my computer at home for so long that I assume every serious collector does too. I probably pull it out two or three times a week to look something up. It is such a reflex movement to me that I can't imagine myself looking somewhere else first. I think it is all I need. But pictures would be nice, I guess.
I could-and probably will add the art information about the cover for Different Seasons. That and a hyperlink to the artist. That is just one example of the real time organic nature of the Catalog. I doubt that information is in the JBB.
Bob, you are considered to have one of the most complete collections of King items in the world. If you want to go look at a lettered Firestarter, or a Cujo guitar, it's easy for you. Many of the members who come here don't have that luxury, and the Catalog is the next best thing.
With your wealth of knowledge I am sure you could add information to most of the items in the catalog. Just click on the "Discussion" tab and contribute.
I understand all of that and agree. I guess when I read that y'all were thinking about complete short fiction and nonfiction lists that seemed like such a huge undertaking to do something that had already been done in a very scholarly and accessible book that I wondered why. Now I know. Thanks.
I also keep a copy of Brooks' Bibliography at my computer. As Bob said, I can't imagine a serious collector without a copy.
John
Shannon has a passion for this project. If he is happy doing it, I believe it only adds to the site, and in no way detracts.
I'm not sure if all our members are aware, but the Catalog is a "wiki". Technically speaking, any member could create or add to an article-much like wikipedia.
<----------------------------------Keeps copy near restroom-reads more often.
Personally I think the Catalog complements Brooks' book in the sense that it provides visuals and also (very important for novice collectors) 1st edition/printing identifiers for the trade editions. But it's most definitely not a replacement for the book.

Yes. I get your point. Any book published in hard copy will be out of date at some point prior to publication. The latest entries in the addenda to Justin's book are early 2008. So anything after that will not be in his book or the two addenda.
Just to weigh in, I have only recently been awakened to the wealth of knowledge and information available, for my own stupidity, but these guys have assembled a truly remarkable, living digest of King works. Anyone who suggests otherwise is being foolish, IMHO
