Book Collection : jonp

[jonp]

Wow, nice Jon! Congrats on those beauties!

That's really nice Jon. You have a great collection of Pratchett books. I don't have as many hardcovers. Mostly those signed paperbacks and a few proofs. I was also upset to hear of his passing.

Congrats Jon for this very nice Pratchett collection !!!

Thanks John, Paul and Frank.

I've never read any of Pratchett's books, but his covers look awesome. I'll have to check his stuff out! Do you have a recommendation for a good books to start with? Beautiful books btw!

You have a really nice collection of Pratchett books Jon. I've never seen any of the limiteds before.

The Long Earth is a great book - difficult to believe it involved the same author as Discworld (which is also excellent, but so very different)

I really like the artwork on those 'WORLDS' books.

Thanks Megan. I suppose the best place to start is with the Discworld novels, the first being The Colour Of Magic. However, there are 41 of them!

Thanks Paul. There are quite a few S/Ls. I only have a handful.

Thanks Simon. I haven't read the Long series books yet. The fourth is being released in June. If they are very different, they are probably very influenced by Stephen Baxter.

I really like the artwork on those 'WORLDS' books.

Thanks Steve. I agree they are very nice covers. I really like the matching coloured edges to the pages.

Congrats!!! Love a lot of the art!!!


I may get chided for this, but I'm nothing if not honest. I confess I know nothing of this author, but I am intrigued. If you were initiating someone to his works what would you suggest? I think I want to read this man's work. Thank you your indulgence.

[jonp]

Thanks Bill.
Terry Pratchett is not as popular in the US as he is in the UK. His genre was witty fantasy but the books with Stephen Baxter were science fiction. If you are into science fiction then read the Long series books. But Simon says these are very different from his usually works. If you want his fantasy books, I would start with The Colour Of Magic. It is the first of his Discworld books - it can be read as a standalone book but the whole series is forty plus books.

The Colour Of Magic, it shall be!!! I'll order it, read it and get back to you. Thanks!!!

Very nice Pratchett collection. I have a paperback of The Colour of Magic that has been sitting on my shelf needing to be read.

Stephen King / Richard Bachman - Thinner - UK 1st Printing 2012 PB Reissue

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Interesting cover. I've read the book but I don't remember anything about a chicken though.

Interesting cover. I've read the book but I don't remember anything about a chicken though.

It has been so long since I've read Thinner so I'm not sure where the bird comes into the story also. I assume it's a vulture similar to the PS cover.

[Theli]

Looks like a future to me. Cool cover actually.

[jonp]

Thanks Theli.

I received this today. Very nice production with a Dolso Case which is my first. Pity it is NOT signed by Stephen King and only Stewart O'Nan, but it comes with a signed card of Trot Nixon. AS I know zero about Baseball, is he any good? Is it a good card to have?

Stephen King / Stewart O'Nan - Faithful (10th Anniversary Edition) - US Lettered Edition (Books For Benefit) - C/26







Sorry Bill! At least the money goes to a good cause.

[webstar1000]

Man that is one nice looking book!

[goheat]

What a work of art, congratulations, Jon! Yeah, I know squat about the Red Sox, so unsure about Trot Nixon, but any signed card is nice to have, IMO.

[zelig]

Jon, that looks really nice. I didn't get the Lettered on this one. It looks like a great production. Congratulations!
