End of Watch?Originally Posted by ur2ndbiggestfan
I meant the one in the middle, but I would have asked about REVIVAL too. So that's the US proof, right?On the right hand side? That's Revival.
Btw, great looking shelves, Dez. Particularly loving the proofs.
Thanks! I dint like that one as much, but of course now I have to find it to complete the set.Like the other one, it was given out at a Lowell Spinners game on Friday the 13th in 2004 (I think - need to locate the damn box, but can't remember where I put it). There used to be a bunch on ebay, but they seem to have all disappeared...
I find it amusing how different King looks in each!
Yes, Jon is right - it's EOW. And thanks, Jon! Not as many as you have, but there are a few!End of Watch?I meant the one in the middle, but I would have asked about REVIVAL too. So that's the US proof, right?On the right hand side? That's Revival.

I didn't really like it as much either, but I had to have it once I saw it. I have issues.Thanks!

Thanks, I don't have either of those, but now I may start looking for them since I just finished the trilogy and loved it (with a few minor complaints).
I do have the MR. MERCEDES proof though. So, the first book's proof (MERCEDES), has a black and red spine, but the other two have teal colored spines. Strange!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Finders Keepers has a white spine and red lettering like the 1st. Each one has a different design and they don't match at all.
Of COURSE they don't match! It's not like they are part of the same trilogy, right?! The fact that they don't match hurts my OCD.Finders Keepers has a white spine and red lettering like the 1st. Each one has a different design and they don't match at all.
I have OCD too! I have OCD too! I mean also!

Great stuff, and love that Dutch Shining. Beautiful colours. (Amusing that they used Jack Nicholson to depict Torrance, given King hated the movie).
I thought it was funny too, but at least they used the mallet and not the ax!
Totally/somewhat off topic for Dez’s thread, (and say sorry) but Jack Nickelson was in North Conway, New Hampshire this week. He stopped into a store my friend manages (Gymboree) with a list of clothes to buy. She got a nice selfie with him. She said it was his voice that gave him away.
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
That's cool, Chris! I think he'd be fun to meet!Totally/somewhat off topic for Dez’s thread, (and say sorry) but Jack Nickelson was in North Conway, New Hampshire this week.

Well, I finally got my box of books from the UK (which is no slight on Simon - I asked him to wait for Strange Weather, too!). Here are my Sleeping Beauties from W.H. Smith and Tesco, and Strange Weather.
And then the lovely Simon offered to have Strange Weather signed for me. I do like the doodles!
And then because I must have been a very good girl this year, I also got these. The WH Smith is from Simon and HSB is from Brian (Brian861) (that Simon kindly got it signed).
Again, my most heartfelt thanks to Simon and to Brian. I don't know what I did to deserve all this, but you guys are wonderful!
Nice haul.

My pleasure Dez, glad everything arrived safely!
Yep, that pretty much sums it upAnd just because we can
"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
Fantastic new additions, Dez. Congratulations!
Very nice of Simon and Brian.
Nice stuff! Love the Joe Hill doodle!
