    Default Book Collection: Stroppy Goblin

    I was going to delay this until I got my latest shipments back from the US (and then put them into some sort of order) but as I had some time to spare I'd show them now and have something to add at a later date...

    My main focus now is US 1st editions, supplemented by Artist and Gift Editions. I'm afraid S/L and S/N are *way* out of my financial reach. I started out with UK hardbacks and if you look closely you will see piled up behind the US 1st's all my UK books! Mrs Goblin tolerates 1 case but no more so everything will have to fit in this one (for now <evil maniacal laugh>)

    Top row is my Limiteds and Gift editions:



    Two books of note are the traycased S/N Riding the Bullet and Anniversary Edition of Christine. My Full Dark No Stars is on the waiting list to be remarqued by Vincent (as is my Trade Dr Sleep)

    Shelf 2 is The Dark Tower and Grant shelf. It will have to end up being just DT I think. I'd like it to be all Artist signed but that means including additional trade 1sts as well...



    Gunslinger 1 a 1st/2nd Flatsigned by SK - I am looking to trade this for a 1st/1st signed by Whelan....
    DOTT is due to be replaced by one I have bought from a forum member recently and has been signed by Phil Hale
    Wastelands is a 1st/1st (unsigned)
    W & G is flatsigned by SK
    All others are Artist editions and then 1st Trades (3rd state Gunslinger and 2nd state DOTT). Final WTTKH is UK limited with the facimile Sig)
    Finally we have the beautiful Grant slipcased Talisman and Black House (signed by Straub)

    ooh Trade SOS is also flatsigned by SK and Darrel Anderson:

    Under the dome trade is flatsigned by SK (this book, SoS and an unsigned W&G I received in trade from another forum member for a signed W & G - I have recently had the replacement W & G signed as well)

    a couple of Joe Hills have crept onto shelf 3. I have the UK S/N Heart Shaped Box #192 and the (nonslipcased) S/N Gunpowder #24. I know a lot of forum members like Joe but I'm not a huge fan. I bought these as potential trades. (PM me if you would like to discuss possible trades!)

    Goblins *love* nice things. The normal problem is they will take them from you and then eat you. Me, well I'm too nice

    Actually, its not so much the second case thats the problem - its where to put it! Unlike some of the US members with entire rooms at their disposal (i'm looking at you Mr Dettweiler!) we are limited on wall space. I have an office but its a garden one and I would worry about extremes of cold and damp during the winter.

    The books I haven't seen before are those Marvel comic collections of The Dark Tower. They look great!
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    A few more signatures..
    1st up is UK Bag of Bones I picked this up recently as the price was good for a UK signed. Its available for trade or sale if anyone is interested - also has the event ticket for provenance .



    This is my 1st edition Black House - signed by Straub. I bought this from a local collector who had never noticed the signature!

    next up, the S/N Chadbourne Remarque series... I got in early on this and snagged #3. I currently have just the 1st 4 but there is a few more waiting to be bought including Dr Sleep and Joyland 1st editions. I love the remarques but I simply do not have the shelf space, especially as I have been replacing my early BCE's with 1st/1sts.

    These deserve to go to a good home - they are currently on ebay, but I am willing to give a really good deal to any member here who would like to take up the options on future books from The Overlook Bookstore. - PM me if interested.

    UPDATE: These have now been sold!



    "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
