    Default Doctor Sleep Cases?

    I'm looking for some feedback or recommendations on what case to do for Doctor Sleep (if any.). I've gotten permission from Vinnie Chong to use a piece of his art for a cover engraving - 'Rose the Hat'. I also have permission from Erin Wells to use her scene of the Overlook Hotel (the one we used for the cover engraving on the Lettered cases for "The Shining"). I have several different options I've been throwing around.

    I'm considering doing a wooden double slipcase that is sized for both the trade edition of Doctor Sleep and for the first edition of the Shining. If I did that I'd put both of the engravings on the lid/side of the case -- sort of a split screen effect. My hesitation on doing that is that I've already done a case for the 1/1 Shining & don't know how much interest there would be in another one (even though it also housed Dr Sleep). I haven't researched it enough to say for sure, but I think that all of the new editions of Shining that are coming out also include their own slipcases - other wise, I'd try to wait & include one of them into a double slipcase (with the same split screen art) instead of a 1/1. Seems like since Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Shining, there should be something we could do to house both books side by side......

    Another option is a Dr. Sleep only case (either a slipcase or a traycase) with Vinny's art engraved. I'd think that there are enough signed copies to warrant at least some interest for them.

    I'd welcome any comments/recommendations/requests or if you have other ideas.

    I said it once and I will say it again... lol

    I personally would jump at the chance for a Doctor Sleep only Traycase with Vinnie Chongs art.

    The idea of The Shining and Doctor Sleep together sounds like it would be nice too, but I just cant imagine they would be as popular especially among newer collectors who may not have a first edition of The Shining yet...

    After pondering this subject at great length (how does one measure a nano-second anyway? ) I'd certainly be on board for a Doctor Sleep tray case (my preference over slip cases, which, I hasten to add, are also brilliant pieces in and of themselves) with the Vinny Chong "Rose The Hat" cover engraving, but likely not the double The Shining/Doctor Sleep case.

    Reason being that my first editions are currently housed in "The Shining" Lettered tray cases I already have in the collection - having said that, if I didn't have these cases, then, yeah, I'd probably be on board for the double feature case, or two

    Either way Dick, the concept itself is brilliant !!!

    I did not purchase a "The Shining" Dolso Art case, but would like to have a home for both my "Dr. Sleep" 1/1 and my "The Shining" 1/1. I may be in the minority, but that is my thought. Go forth and prosper!!

    Dick, bear in mind I have yet to save up the funds to purchase any of your cases so far (hope to one day, have a few in mind that I want...), and so my opinion is probably of little worth on this topic:
    - To me, your cases are for the best of the best books. Books that laying down the kind of dollars required to get something of your quality is worth it.
    - That being said, I personally wouldn't put a brand new book in to that category, when the book can be purchased for less that $20 (obviously talking about an unsigned first edition here). As much as I love The Shining, I wouldn't look to add Doctor Sleep to it in a case.

    Now to sound like a complete fence sitter however, I do love the Talisman/Grant double case Grant recently posted, and I can understand the appeal of having a "set" of books housed together. But that is probably more of a one off type request than a bulk order?

    The thing is, if a Shining/Doctor Sleep case ever gets posted here, I know I'll love the look of it, just doubt it would be something I'd save up for myself...

    That would be cool a wooden traycase to hold both The Shining and Doctor Sleep well even a regular traycase to hold both books. Like from The Collector or CD.

    Don't know if this will generate any more interest but this is a preliminary engraving of the art ('Rose the Hat') Vinny has agreed to have available for the cases. This can be engraved onto either a slipcase or on a tray case. I guess my initial thoughts were to use a case like this for one of the signed 1/1 copies that are around

    I still like the "double case" idea, but this is a great engraving however you choose to do it!!
