Easton Press has improved over the last few years with these numbered and slipcased editions.
I like them a lot more than their standard leather signed editions.
I just wish they would issue more new titles instead of what feels like endless reissues of the same titles.

I think Merlin1958 might appreciate this.
It's the Sideshow Weta limited edition statue of the Witch King from LOTR. #24 of 9500.
He's been keeping watch over my bookshelves for years.
It's about 17 inches tall, and just barely fits on top of the new bookcases that I got over the summer.
Mark Twain
That is SUPER BAD ASS!!!!
God that is AWESOME! (my wife would hate it )
"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

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I can has? LOL
Very beautiful!
Got the last copy from my local Target (thanks to Becca posting when she found her copies).
One of my goals this year is expanding my Dune collection.
To that end, I've added these three recently.
Heretics and Chapterhouse both included index cards signed by Frank Herbert.
Mark Twain
Ooohh, very nice proofs! Are these as scarce as the Putnam Skeleton Crew proof?
VERY NICE NEW BOOKS !!!

Those DUNE proofs are impressive indeed! It takes a lot of sand to collect those.

To be honest, I don't even know how scarce the Skeleton Crew proof is.
Heretics and Chapterhouse are not all that difficult to find, but prices vary widely. I lucked out and got them in amazing condition for very cheap. God Emperor seems to be more difficult to find, so I was glad I snagged it when I did.
All three appear to be unread and the signed cards with two of them are a nice bonus.
Mark Twain
Thanks guys.
I should have a few more additions in the next couple of weeks.

Both of Marisha Pessl's UK ARCs arrived a while ago and I forgot to post them.

1st edition of the Sand omnibus by Hugh Howey. Signed and dated on the first day he was signing copies.
For the curious, it's from the second day of the first print run.
Mark Twain
This one just arrived today.
It's the UK proof of Chapterhouse: Dune.
The UK trade edition preceded the US edition by about two months, making it the true world first edition. In theory, that makes this proof the earliest version of the book.
However, there are notable differences in the text of the original UK and US versions. No one seems to know why that is, but it appears to have been corrected in the years since the original publication.
A "proof" DJ was also included, though I can find nothing that distinguishes it from the final production version.
Mark Twain
Love those Herbert proofs.

Thanks ur2ndbiggestfan. They are definitely some of my favorite additions to my collection.
Here's another Dune addition that arrived today.
This one is particularly challenging to find, so I'm very happy to have final picked one up.
Mark Twain
Really happy to add this one today:
Now I just need to add AFFC and my SubPress set will be covered.
Mark Twain
Sweet. Do you have the MM books? I need AGOT!!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I never started collecting the Martin books (if I had I'd be more broke than ever!) so I really enjoy seeing all the pictures of them here!

I'll be very happy just having all of the SubPress editions, so I don't know if I'm going to try for the MM books or not.
The seller that I bought ASOS from does have a matching ACOK listed, but that is the only other book they have from the series.
I do actually know where #11 of AGOT, ACOK and ASOS are, but haven't heard back from that collector in several months.
AFFC is the missing one that neither of us were able to track down.
Mark Twain
I've been anxiously waiting for this one to make its way across the Atlantic.
UK 1st/1st of Dune Messiah in almost perfect condition:

Not a big fan, but I am truly happy for you!! You're a "top flight" guy and member to have the priviledge to be around!!
