I thought that I would throw my books in the ring. Not as impressive a collection as some others, but some that deserve recognition. Pics to follow soon. I will probably post them slowly. Bare with me - it's all new!

Still trying to get the size right. If this works, then what you see is my Main King Case
Ok, so that one worked. What follows are photos from my Donald Grant signed limited edition of Desperation. I am posting this first because I had so much fun working with Don Maitz on the color remarque, and because this is the one that got me hooked on remarques. He allowed me to pick one of my favorite scenes from the book and then we exchanged some ideas. He is so professional, and is a joy to work with. I will be posting some work he did in my copy of The Talisman next. I have posted the color remarque in the book and the original sketch he did beforehand. I anyone is interested in purchasing the original sketch please contact me.
Nice. Wonderful start to the thread.
Great to see you here on the forum posting your goodies at long last mate

DoctorZaius,
Always nice to see a new collection thread.
Very nice display.

Next up is my signed ARTIST limited edition of The Talisman. I got this on ebay for $630 - what a bargain. The story for this one is that I am an English teacher and I had Rick Berry's son in class a few years back and decided to ring him up to try to get some remarques (I sold a couple to Bad Penny). Rick was so accommodating, he even invited to me to a New Year's celebration where I me the men behind Donald Grant. A fun night that resulted in two of the remarques in this book. I then began work with Don Maitz again since he also contributed work to the two volumes. Each ended up doing two pieced (Mr. Berry in each book's opening pages, and Mr. Maitz in the closing). I am particularly fond of what Mr. Maitz came up with for the closing image - go back and reread the last pages of The Talisman and tell me what you think. I am also placing some of the sketches he sent me - again, if any interest you, let me know. I promise not to do a story with each book, but this one is very special to me.
Those are really nice drawings!
Very Nice! Love the illustrations in the Talisman
reality continues to ruin my life
Those Berry/Maitz remarques are simply stunning Greg, and it's great to see you on the forum sharing your treasures with us

Thanks for the warm welcome! Here is the last of my Rick Berry remarques - Bad Penny has the other two. To some, they may not seem as elaborate but what makes them so special is that as far as I know, no one else has any but the two of us. Mr. Berry does not do them, and only did because I had been his son's English teacher, and only then years later. The rarity is what makes them so special, and thus more collectable.
Sweet!!!!
P.S. Post all the stories you like. It's your thread and generally we LOVE them!!!

Next up, is one of may all time favorite King novels - IT. I was so juiced when I first heard that Brian at Cemetery Dance was doing this one - many thanks Brian! I was lucky enough to get matching numbers for my book and portfolio - again, thanks Brian! Then with much ado I was finally able to work my way into the lives of three very generous artists: Alan C. Clark, Erin Wells, and the elusive Glen Orbik (I can't begin to describe how hard it was to get this one - look closely at the red blotches to see an upside down Pennywise) - drool on that Bad Penny! In the end, each of them were very gracious and caring with their time and creativity. Each managed to add a remarque to my book and each did second remarque on the signature sheet for the portfolio - six remarques in all! This is the only true set I know of that has been done this way. This pairing is a true collector's piece! Enjoy!
AMAZING REMARQUES !!!
