Thanks for that RF.
I have the S/L Transgressions as 226 copies. 200 Numbered and 26 lettered.
Can someone confirm that there were 26 lettered?
Edit:
Answered my own question by looking at the Limitation page. There were 200 numbered for the trade and 26 lettered for the authors and publisher.
I have a new question for the Collector's.
In the current King Catalog we have (I believe) a listing for every King book, with scans. photos descriptions etc.
Currently we do not have a Catalog for books and items signed by King, but not works exclusively by King.
Should we attempt to obtain images etc. and do a Catalog for the following list?:
1982 Fear Itself 225
1982 Dark Tower I Gunslinger audio book 800
1982 Whispers - 26+350=376
1983 Frankenstein 250 + 26 = 276 (SK collectibles says 526 total)
1985 Cycle of the Werewolf portfolio 350
1987 Dark Tower II Audio book 800
1987 The Ideal, Genuine Man-500
1988 Letters from Hell 500+26=526
1988 Night Visions 5-850
1988 Prime Evil 1,000 (+250 UK, Bantam Press) = 1,250 (Indeterminate # of PC's per SKC)
1989 Book of the Dead 500 + (10-20 PC's, per Mark V. Ziesing)= ≤520
1989 The Killer Inside Me 26 + 350 = 376 (Indeterminate # of PC's per SKC)
1990 Dark Dreamers ( 1990 edition) 450
1990 Fantasy and Science Fiction December 1990. 500 signed – Un-numbered.

1991 Complete Masters of Darkness 345
1991 Gauntlet #2 500
1991 Signatures 26 + 400 + 150 = 576
1992 The Sins of the Fathers 400
1993 House Next Door (1993 edition by Olde New York Press) 26 + 125 =151

1995 Rose Madder (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 250

1996 The Girl Next Door 52 + 500 = 552

1998 Legends 50 + 200 = 250
1998 The Best of Cemetery Dance 52 + 400 = 452
2000 Dystopias 26 (lettered only)
2000 Life in the Cinema 52 + 350 = 402
2003 Borderlands 5 - 52 + 500 = 552
2004 Quietly Now 500+52+552
2005 Transgressions 200 + 26 = 226
2005 Great Ghost Stories 52 (lettered only), Indeterminate # of PC's
2007 Postscripts 10. 200+300=500, Indeterminate # of PC’s
2007 Dandelion Wine 50th Anniversary. 100.
Yeah, sure, why not?
I think it should be separate from the Catalog of books actually written by King though.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Most definitely.
I was also a bit puzzled as to why the UK trade editions were not listed, except for all the editions of the Colorado Kid.
The SK universe is pretty broad. We started the Catalog and initially made the decision to go with U.S. King books-!00% by King. It narrowed the scope (still a pretty wide scope) to something I could manage. Most-but certainly not all, particularly the most exotic items, were books I myself owned, and therefore photos, scans etc. were "easily" done. I say easily, because it was very time consuming.
If I/we take on his new task, the success will greatly depend on high quality scans and pictures submitted (directly to me, not in a thread) by other Collector's. I doubt I even have 20% of the items on the list I posted.
I will do the bulk of the work, but I will need others to contribute the images.
I would like for a few-or many Collector's to advise here if they can help.
I can help with the S/Limiteds, but I only have a small number of Numbereds. I also have everything ever issued in the UK.The SK universe is pretty broad.

I think another sub forum catalog would be great in here. I'm kicking around the idea of turning these threads into a sub forum that is hidden from guests.
For about 20 different reasons but mostly because some collector stuff is pretty sensitive.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I also think it is a good idea to put them (with pictures) in another sub-forum. I have 5-10 of the items and would be happy to supply pictures.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Ok. I would like to start out small and easy by doing UK S/L's, where the entire book is by King. I think we can just add them to the Catalog of Signed Limiteds, with UK somewhere in the book title. I count only five, but let me know if I am incorrect.
I will need high quality scans/photos of the cover, spine, limitation page (signature/#) and a freestanding shot of the following books. In addition, it would be very very helpful if those who help could include any information and fill out the template. I will give acknowledgement for the images used.
Template Example (delete the existing text and supply whatever info you can:
Title: The Eyes of the Dragon
Author: Stephen King
Artist: Kenneth Ray Linkhaüser. Designed and cared for by Michael Alpert
Publisher: Philtrum Press
Publication Year: 1984
State: Numbered 1/1,000 Issue Price $120
Comments: 26 red lettered, 26 black lettered, less than 10 Artist's copies, 250 red-numbered and 1,000 black-numbered copies produced.
Like Cycle of the Werewolf, and The Plant, The Eyes of the Dragon (original title:The Napkins) was published without a trade edition in the works at the time. The trade edition of Eyes of the Dragon has important textual differences. Sold by lottery only (at least 3 were conducted), in three ads that ran in F/SF magazines, 1,000 black numbered-editions were sold in order that 250 red-numbered copies could be given as gifts to people on King's Christmas greeting list.
A visual and tactile sensation, the book stands over 13" (33 CM) tall. The paper was intended to feel like fine linen (The Napkins).
Book images needed:
1994 Insomnia (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 200
1995 Rose Madder (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 250
1996 UK Desperation/Regulators boxed set 250 copies, signed bookplate in Desperation only.
1997 Wizard and Glass (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 500
1998 Bag of Bones Hodder & Stoughton UK. 2,000 signed on bookplate.
I will do them tomorrow RF.
Thanks to Mr. Rabbit Trick the 5 UK S/L's are now in the Catalog.
I would like to add the issue price (if known) to the ones that are missing them:
1994 Insomnia (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 200
1995 Rose Madder (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 250
1996 UK Desperation/Regulators boxed set 250 copies, signed bookplate in Desperation only.
1997 Wizard and Glass (UK edition) (signed on bookplate) 500
I also wanted to get thoughts as to whether or not to add the S/L's that are are not 100% King in there own category, or just simply add them straight to the existing S/L area.
Currently, other than Blackhouse, and The Talsiman, (Edit: And I suppose TGWLTG) all entries right now are books 100% by King.
Thoughts on separate catagory or not?
I just checked The Collector's site (www.stephenkingcollector.com) but he doesn't have the issue price of the UK limiteds either.

Hi
I have talked with Herb at Lord John Press and he has confirmed that only 100 "PC" copies were made. Also, there seems to be a consensus that there is only Three state of this book. Marbled Boards, Deluxe and Limited. The picture that is in the catalog for a "PC" I dont think is a true "PC" because it is "Tabitha Kings Copy" not a "Presentation Copy" as mine states here
http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/...276&ppuser=573
Am I getting way to specific on this? What would you call TK Copy? Personal Copy (PC)?
Thanks
If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
I ve noticed that some illustrations did vanish.
Reason?
They were linked to the pictures in the galleries of MrRabbitTrick, et elles ne sont plus dans les galleries....
erf
Illustrations of:
- the talisman
- colorado kid (chadbourne)
- dolores claiborne
- from a buick 8
- insomnia
MrRabbitTrick: do you still have it on your computer? would you mail them to me please?
Ooops. I removed them from my gallery. I though the ones you used were stored elswhere.
No I don't have them on my computer. Looks like I will have to do them again.
If you already have them hosted elsewhere Mr. Rabbit, it's just as easy to get them from there.
All you have to do is post the link here.
(and thanks for the MP3's)

No such luck Matt. I only had them in my gallery. That will teach me to be soIf you already have them hosted elsewhere Mr. Rabbit, it's just as easy to get them from there.

(and thanks for the MP3'sefficientinefficiant!
If you will do it again i will save them away just in case :-)
the pictures of DT II, by Ari also disappeared... and i think thats it...
Question:
why does on this board do not appear the broken links?
I mean... it would be easier to see if a picture isnt available anymore...coz now, if a link is broken we just dont see anything at all, and it would be lucky if we notice that something is missing...
cannot change it in the settings of the board???
I would guess that broken links show up when hosted by another service, but if linked to the Gallery, they do not.
It may also be the difference between firefox and IE (or any others). I sometimes see a red "x" when in IE but it seems like firefox doesn't show broken images at all.
happened on the site pages a couple of times when I moved an image without meaning to

This may have gotten overlooked and I'm kinda curious about this
If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
I think Tabitha's should be called a personal copy.This may have gotten overlooked and I'm kinda curious about this
Could you clarify your first statement (or perhaps get Herb to clarify) stating 100 "PC" copies made? Is that 100 "PC" copies of the regular edition or does that number include "PC" copies of the deluxe edition and "PC" copies of the lettered edition?
I'd like to know how many "PC" copies of the lettered edition were done, if any. Neither Chris Cavalier nor myself have been able to find this state. Barry Levin insists it exists and he is usually right.
Very resonable question. I will pose that to Herb and reply when he writes back!
