M'am, this is a "Stephen King" collecting and book discussing website!!! There is no room herein for "Puppies, lying prostrate for their belly to be rubbed". We simply cannot have it!!! Please make the appropriate changes or you are going from the "Attacker" class, to the "Victim" class in a big hurry!!! "Thanks for your assistance"!!! That should read, "Fuck you, I got one"!!! LOL LOL LOL

Had it been something more rare, then yes, I could see "Fuck you, I got one." But it was just a gift edition that most of you probably have--that, and I spent over $100 more than issue price. So just a thanks is fine.
And if you are thinking: She lives in South Carolina so she's being a nice, southern girl, you couldn't be more wrong. I spent all my formidable book-learnin' years in Pennsylvania. And if that "South Carolina, Sheesh!!!" comment implies you think I'm a sweet southern girl, then my dear Merlin, you WILL get a nice big FUCK YOU!
(And just in case you think I'm serious, I'll put it in your terms, Merlin: LOL LOL LOL!!!)
Now, that is more like it!!!

How about a little art for my posts this week? Below is my Jill Bauman art wall. I bought all three off ebay, 2 from Jill directly.
The entire wall:
On the top, we have a print from the PS Publishing 20th Anniversary edition of Christine:
In the middle is a print from Cemetery Dance's Dark Delicacies. I'm particularly proud of this one. I thought it would look cool in a red frame, so I bought an unfinished one and painted it myself. I think it looks great!
And at the bottom from Gauntlet Press: Richard Matheson's The Twilight Zone Scripts:
I think I may pick up one more of hers to go above Christine (got my eye on a another print from Christine). The prints sit across from my desk...I must say, I do like my new Bauman wall!

Like that Twilight Zone ... the lavender matting works really well.

A few more things came in the last week, starting with this ARC of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet that I bought from CD via eBay. Just another way to send them my money...
I picked up the Joyland slipcase, courtesy of Tippy4 and the Collectible Classifieds thread, and was convinced to pick on the HIA cards as well (No more shipping costs, he says. No will power, I say).
Thanks Rick!!!
But perhaps the coolest thing to arrive is this little gem. I bought this from a weird little independent online bookstore, and just think it's so cool.
It's a copy of Gold Bug from the 1920s, part of the Little Leather Library. It's a little less than 4" tall. But so cute! Plus it smells like old book. I keep sniffing it. Is that weird...?

Nope. Sniffing is perfectly normal.......... well, to us it is any way
Great new adds by the way!
Oh, now that, Poe is a sweet pick up and smell away!!!

And here it is...my new pride and joy! Christine is one of my favorites, and it has been on my "to buy" list for awhile. I picked up a copy on ebay for $610, which appears to be a pretty good deal from what I can tell. There is a minor issue with the dust jacket, but I'll be purchasing a new one of those as soon as I get around to it. For now, here she is!
Isn't she pretty?

Awesome. That's still on my list.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
To cool... I am going to have to pick one of those up at some point.

Christine copy is beautiful
Congratulations on the S/L Christine! What do you think of the artwork? I have always thought it was some of Gervais' best and am still disappointed that it did not reach a wider audience.
I really love the artwork. In fact, I started looking for places to buy prints as soon as I got the book.
I did see that you have the artwork for the dust jacket. Of course, you have everything, so I shouldn't be surprised... [Ugly green jealousy monster coming out] J/K. The picture is gorgeous!!!
