    Although I already posted elsewhere my Carrie Artist case courtesy of Mr. Olson has to go into my collection thread too:

    Nice case. You can carry CARRIE carefully in it if you care to.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...

    May I humbly suggest some Rachel Readman art to compliment that marvelous Dolso case (difficult to come across due to exclusivity, but well worth the hunt)

    I have to agree with, Rachel. However, some Chadbourne art would be a great alternative!!!

    Yeah, Glenn's good, but I've heard it around the traps that this Readman character is a damn great artist too!!!!

    No slight on, Rachel. Just a suggestion for another artist to do the art besides herself. Since Glenn has done these before it seemed logical.

    Yes, I suppose I can be rather "literal" at times. Fuck you, mate!!! LOL LOL LOL I'm just kidding, of course.


    FWIW, I think that Rachel having a Chadbourne piece of art in her collection would be kinda neat, IMHO I'd even pay for it just for the "story" aspect of it.

    And the very best of seasons greetings to you, too, Wild Bill

    Nope, self-nepotism needs to come into play with this one, a Readman piece is the ONLY way to go (this time around)

    I would honestly like to have Michael Whelan work some magic for me and I may approach the subject with him once we get over all this Crimson King stuff we have to work through.

    I see I was grossly mistaken in this case, From my perspective, it would seem "neat as hell", then again "what do I know"? My apologies to all involved. No "offense" was intended. I will retire, quietly.

    OK it been such a long time since I said I would show the shelves here and I never got around to it. After some prompting from Zelig, here are the new custom bookcases I got with all my books in situ. These pics don't include my King/DT bookcase with my 'proper' collection in it. That will take me some time to go through and take photos of everything, so I'll do that another time, perhaps next weekend...

    Full Height and width shots:











    First (left hand case) shelves bottom to top:













    Second (middle case) bottom to top:











    Third (right hand case) bottom to top:

    Wonderful Rachel! Thanks for posting all the pics! I like the dragon on the top of that one bookcase, and also like how your paperbacks are well read! The Ken Follett books look great too, I'm a fan. Look forward to seeing the rest of the King books.

    I'm pretty sure there is a set like that at my Mothers house. Do they have any particular value Rachel? I know they have been there for years as I read them when I was quite young
    "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

    Thanks everyone. As you can see I do a lot of reading and I'm quite varied in my tastes. My paperbacks are well read and multiple times but treasured as much as any of my collectible copies. Need more shelves so I can house more.

    Ahh my cute dragon. He's a hand puppet. Little monster looks after my studio/library for me.

    Ken Follet is great. I started out with Pillars of the Earth and enjoyed it so much I picked up the others. The TV series of PotE was really good too.
    Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!
