New addition to Alec's collection. As I'm sure most of you are aware - a VERY difficult book to find, especially in this condition. Congrats Alec!

"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
Thanks Alec. Actually I still need ASOS #320 also. Currently I have the MM books and ASOS in matching numbers and then the rest in 320. I'll have to be content with 2 partial sets, but I have them to trade if my number ever comes up!Originally Posted by Alec

Looks like a beautiful copy. I quite like the sculpture beside it as well - seems appropriate.

Not familiar with that one. Or is the catalog my friend?

Very nice Alec. And that wood table it is on looks beautiful. Like the bird as well. Congratulations!
It is the world first printing of "The Mist" in German. Like 'Es' it has become quite a collectible.
I also noticed we don't have a catalog entry for these 'foreign' collectibles.
From StephenKingCollector.com:
"A bootleg edition of 500 numbered copies, obviously NOT signed by Stephen King. Issued with a DJ and slipcase. Allthough 500 were made, customs officals siezed most of these when they arrived in the USA. Less then 50 copies are thought to still exist. $2,250 - $2,750"

Very nice, Alec! And I echo the sentiments about the statue, table etc. Looks like you have a formidable house!

Since we have "ES" (It) in the catalog, I see no reason why "Nebel" shouldn't be in the Catalog.It is the world first printing of "The Mist" in German. Like 'Es' it has become quite a collectible.

I don't think this picture needs any comments from me....
... other than WOW of course.
