Book Collection : jonp

Very nice. I like this better than the Carrie... You Jon?

Thanks Kris, I also like Thinner better than Carrie. The design of the book and all the extras are identical to Carrie. I really like the artwork in Thinner especially the special lettered dustjacket art, hence my avatar.
Just a niggle of the vulture on the traycase and book seems to me to be in the wrong place, off centre and slightly spoils the aesthetics. I'm sure King's signature is a fake on the limitation page, man his signature is getting bad!

[jonp]

WOW !!!! Where is MY holy grail ???

Thanks Shac. Do you mean this?

I have been after this one for a long time. I have occasionally seen them on eBay and at Betts but they seemed to me to be overpriced. This one a bought at the recent Camelot sale for issue price but it is a PC.

Yes it is !!! Beautiful congrats

Thanks Shac.

I'd love one of those! Gorgeous NOS4A2!!!

[jsmcmullen92]

That was one of my Holy Grails for awhile. I wanted the N0S4A2 and Locke and Key set but then they stopped making Locke and Key so I lost a little interest... still an absolutely amazing production though.

That looks really nice Jon. Congratulations!

Thanks Josh. I stopped with Locke & Key after SubPress stopped the series. I bought the three matching S/L and a lettered of Head Games but I haven't yet continued with the further IDW series releases. Joe the other week said he may write more Locke & Key comics in the future.

That looks really nice Jon. Congratulations!

Thanks Paul.

Stephen King - Thinner - UK Lettered Edition (C/26)

The Remarque Artwork French Flaps Booklet

Whoa!!! Very, very sweet acquisition, my friend!!!!! That's an extremely handsome looking production there!!! Those 'Remarques" are remarkable as well!!!


Did you realize that the DJ pic looks a lot like your "Avatar"???? Could there be a case for some copy right infringement?

Thanks Bill, Yes, it's a very nice book! The resemblance is uncanny with the cover to my avatar. I'll sue!

With many thanks to Paul I now have a perfect copy of the US 1st of BOBD. I actually like the US cover better than the UK, which is unusual for me.

Nice - Still waiting on Amazon to deliver mine...

Thanks Simon. I hope yours arrives soon. Is yours coming from Amazon.com or UK?

[Ben Staad]

Love Thinner and the illustrations. Congrats.

[killjoy72]

Congrats Jon! Thanks for sharing. I really love those Thinner remarques too.
I finally picked up a copy of BOBD at Costco last night and the DJ has the weirdest texture. I can imagine finding mint copies in the future may be an issue.

.com. They honour best price at release date and I think shipping was negligible.

[zelig]

My UK copy arrived and it was bumped at one corner. Hopefully you have better luck Simon. They are sending out a replacement. Pleased to see the book arrived safely Jon.

Thanks. Yes, the US edition has an odd texture to it. The UK version I think will fair even less well, as it is a white matt untreated/unlaminated paper dust jacket and it will easily pick-up dust and other stains.

.com. They honour best price at release date and I think shipping was negligible.

I hope it arrives intact and soon!

That's a bugger. Their packaging can be a bit suspect for intercontinental shipping. I hope the replacement arrives safely. At least you now have a reading copy (assuming you don't have to return it to the UK?!!!!).

Superbeautiful new books !!! CONGRATS Jon !!

This is the other 'Lettered' edition that arrived recently. Even though it is not strictly a lettered edition and more of a deluxe edition, it was produced in lettered edition quantities. I shelve these editions with my UK limiteds and not with the lettereds.

Stephen King - The Colorado Kid - UK 'Lettered' Deluxe Traycased Edition (J.K. Potter Artwork Edition) - Unnumbered/33 Printer's Copy









With the other two variants of the Deluxe Editions (the other two have actual numbers).



All my Colorado Kids. I do not collect gift / artist editions as a rule, so I am missing the PS Unsigned and Artist editions (and I probably do not intend getting them in the future). The top row are the 1st PB, 1st HB Large Print Edition and the PS Uncorrected Advance Proof, the middle row are the S/Ls signed by King and the bottom row are the Deluxe 'Lettered' editions also signed by King.

[Dan]

Great looking set of Colorado Kid deluxe editions!

[zelig]

Wow, that's great. Congratulations Jon. Sadly my Colorado Kid collection is rather poor. All I have is the paperback and the proof. I didn't even know about that large print hardcover edition.

[stroppygoblin]

so I am missing the PS Unsigned and Artist editions (and I probably do not intend getting them in the future).

There the only ones I have! between us we have a complete set!

[Merlin1958]

Very handsome, my British friend!!!


I have to agree with you on the BoBD. I too generally prefer the UK DJ's, but not in this instance. For a change the U.S. guys got a better handle on the DJ.
