Wow. Simply, Wow. This is more of a museum of books rather than simply a collection.

Alec,
What a cool book, the fangs are bloody brilliant.
Thanks for sharing from your collection.

Alec,
What a joy it is to escape into such a carefully curated assemblage of King rarities! Although many of us might not ever physically possess such items, it is so nice to have the opportunity to visually appreciate these items in such artfully presented photographs. Thanks for sharing your passion with those of us that are so passionate about King.
Those fangs are drop dead perverse. This book might be my favorite one yet
Great book, but I feel sorry for the goat. No kidding.

I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Spoiler:. That is a good one.
Beautiful. My favorite part of that edition was always the Jim Croft clasps but I never knew about those fangs. That feature is so cool!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Congrats, Alec! Absolutely stunning!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
I must admit the fangs top and bottom are marvelous. Top fangs having blood on and the bottom fangs without. The attention to detail that Jerad put into this binding was remarkable.
Thank you for the like minded comments.
A real “tour de force” from Centipede Press.
Completely awesome. Just went through your entire thread again! Amazing collection. But those Tolkien’s are the best!

Hey Alec. Can you check your PM and let me know your thoughts. I know I probably messed up. Sorry.
I did check it.
Your “PM” is full.
Sorry Alec. Did not realize that. There is space now.
Thanks

Many thanks to all for the comments on the King and Tolkien books. I do not feel too bad about introducing the Tolkien items into the thread as they seem to attract a deal of interest. A few more signed Tolkien books to post soon.
Again thank you for the interesting replies and enthusiasm, it is the backbone of this whole site which continually drives it forward.
Kindest regards
Alec.
I never realized there were so many Tolkien books that dealt with the LOTR story. Or if they are different. Either way, thanks for the education. I mean that.
Secrets. such exciting things. When kept to oneself they can be like a high pressure build up of gas. You feel like you want to explode if you don't tell someone. A secret that can be shared though, thats a whole new thing.
I'd known about Horns prior to it's general announcement, due to a small part in its production that Paul asked of me. So when I found out that Alec was receiving the item below, I finally had someone I could talk to about it. I'm happy to say that Alec (with Pauls permission) is now able to share the following images of the Horns Prototype and original Prospectus. Im sure all of you that have ordered the lettered Edition will be excited to see these!
Only FOUR of theses prototypes were made. 1 for the Publisher, 2 for the Author and Alec has the 4th.
"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
In addition, here is a copy of the Suntup Prospectus that was presented to Joe Hill.
