Very nice additions Simon! I'm jealous of the The Shining signed edition, the gift edition is one of the nicest books in my collection. SP did a great job on that one.

Today I received an amazingly generous gift from Matt (Lot Guy). He let me know a while back that something special was coming my way and even sent me tracking info. I was beginning to think it had got lost in the post, but it finally arrived today in a big post bag that confirmed it had taken over 3 weeks to travel across the pond. Matt had some bad rep from a couple of members recently, I'd like to address that and state IMHO he is one of the most generous and honourable members on this site. Thanks again Matt!
"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
Congrats, Simon! Great looking book.
Congratulations, Simon! I agree with your assessment of Matt. He's a great guy!

Wow, super sweet gift!
Congratulations Simon. That is a great present from Matt. Yes, Matt's a great guy but he has put too much temptation my way with some rare proofs!

That's very generous!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I didn't want to hijack any other threads or start a new one, but I figured anyone whom I have emailed directly in the past would read a new post on my thread...
I have recently become the victim of email hijacking and someone somewhere is sending out spam emails that purport to come from my email account (smason@ntlworld.com). A couple of you have already let me know that you have received such emails and although I dont believe anything in them to be malicious I would advise just deleting without opening them. If I do need to send someone an email I will either make it clear in the subject line (something like DT.org - Not Spam) or I will PM you first to expect an email from me.
My apologies if you have been affected by this, I am taking steps to resolve the issue with my Internet and mail provider. I'll update when (and if

That sucks. Something similar happened to me. They sent out emails to my contact list purportedly from me with a link and saying they should open it.
Luckily no one did open it.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I got one of those emails Simon. I just deleted it. Happens often with other people I know.
I got a couple Simon. Deleted them straight away as they looked dodgy.
Rough. Good luck dealing with it, hopefully you can get it to stop without having to create a new e-mail address.
Simon - Better later than ever.... congrats on the book ! looks sharppppp

After a thread conversation with Bruce on this book, I had to find the more limited silver version... Bruce, you mentioned this came without a dust jacket? maybe someone added one to this copy?

David also graciously signed the book where he is interviewed!
