Very nice Simon, Your S/L collection is certainly growing fast. Congratulations.
Congrats Simon. Nice one.
New shipment from US came in today. Mostly Upgrades to existing books, here are two of the best:
The Shining 1st/1st:
Amazingly bright, no discernible fading as far as I can see.
Direct Comparison to the book it replaced:
"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
And (finally!) a copy of EOTD 1st/1st in MINT condition. This is also a different printer to my other copy so I will probably keep both and try for the 3rd variant.

added another book to the "Books about King" sub collection as well.
There are some special books that didn't make it in time for the latest shipment - I will be hopefully receiving those in the next few weeks.... stay tuned...

Wow, congratulations on those shiny BEAUTIES, Simon! Wiping up the drool now...

If you have the time I would recommend reading Winter's book Stephen King: The Art of Darkness. It is pretty good. That book and Fear Itself were the best of the bunch, IMO. Many of the later similar books weren't as good, again IMO.
And, also, nice copy of The Shining!
Very nice copies, Simon. Congratulations!
John
Very nice Simon. Makes me want to go check my copy of The Shining and see how the spine looks. That's a great comparison picture.
very nice copy !
well replaced !

Thanks Bob - Praise from you is praise indeed! - I already started to browse through AOD and I agree it seems to be well written. Interesting time line at the start where it mentions 2 novels (pre Carrie) that King sent for publisher review and were sent back. One was named (Sword in the Darkness) but the other was not, any idea what that one was?

I would guess that it was Getting It On (later titled Rage) but I don't know for certain.
No that gets mentioned later in the timeline. I'll get the exact text later on tonight.I would guess that it was Getting It On (later titled Rage) but I don't know for certain.

I just looked through some older stuff and am pretty sure that it was The Long Walk.No that gets mentioned later in the timeline. I'll get the exact text later on tonight.I would guess that it was Getting It On (later titled Rage) but I don't know for certain.

That's a beautiful The Shining.
A fine TEOTD isn't easy to find either.

Excellent new grabs, Simon. I remember entering the competition to win one of those Desperation/Regulators S/L's when the trade editions came out. 20 years later I got one on ebay!!
Beautiful copies Simon !!!
You can say that again!!! Very nice acquisitions, Simon!!!
