    Thank you for the uplifting comments, always interesting to hear.
    As always many thanks to Simon.
    Theli, well spotted it is the Batman Anniversary magazine. The wonderful part is the inscription and signature by Stephen King which makes it a rather special edition!
    If people are interested I was planning on posting some more "hard to find" first edition trade books in fine condition. The Bachman Books, Tommyknockers, Firestarter, Cujo, The Dead Zone and others. Mainly the titles that always seem to have a little flaw in their make up.
    We will see how it goes.
    Kindest regards
    Alec.

    Many thanks.
    As I said earlier on, I will post a few more next week.
    Many of them are from the era that you were permitted to send books to Stephen King, he would inscribe, date and sign them and return.
    The situation is somewhat different now!!

    Alec.

    I had lots and lots of catching up to do on your collection. Congratulations on all the new additions, Alec. The PS lettereds are absolutely beautiful. It's hard to appreciate their quality until to you handle them in person (BUT very carefully!). The Pet Semetary looks absolutely amazing - I hope I'll find one that nice one day.

    Looking forward to the new arrivals!

    All the best to you,
    Jon

    Here are the first of the books Alec mentioned. These two are in honour of the Rebound editions that Paul (Zelig) is creating

    Fire-starter and The Eyes of the Dragon. Both absolutely Mint as we have come to expect from Alec's collection

    "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

    Fire-starter has a very early signature, approx 3 weeks after publication

    And EOTD is quite early as well. It was originally published on Feb 2nd 1987.

    They look truly beautiful. And of course, I am always amazed that these pristine copies in your collection are signed. If only you would admit that you have discovered a portal that takes you back in time. We could provide you with a want list for your next journey.

    Simon, as always many thanks for the posting.
    Congratulations to Paul for taking these iconic books and producing copies that will be coveted for many years to come.

    Jon, good to catch up with you again, hope all is well and yes you are spot on with the PS Publishing copies, quite something.
    Thank you for all the positive comments. More pristine, signed copies to follow.

    Alec.

    Some more wonderful examples of Alec's collection, once again with some quite early signatures...
