I spend too much time on here.

How much is too much? I've always wondered.

Nice Jon !!!

Thanks Shac.

Yay! 2000 posts. I spend too much time on here.

Brother... I have over 5000.... help me? lol

Just recently hit 4000. Perhaps we all need help.

My name's Alan and............. Well you know the rest.

"Hello, Alan"!!!! LOL

Obviously I'm not on here as much as you guys. This site is a support group for SK collecting addicts!

The Scribner and H&S copies are not as a strong yellow colour as the CD version, but I took this photo at night and the flash has washed out the colour a bit. The book is not this pale.

Ok, so it's a pale yellow + looks whiter because of the flash?

Yes, it appears white because of the flash.

The photographs below are a closer look at my Secret Santa presents. They were the best of my presents this year. I opened them in the order below. I was really pleased when I opened the Turn Down The Lights Proof first, I had thought about ordering this book on release but never did. I didn't realise it was such a small book. As I opened the rest the presents they just got better. A couple of weeks ago I set a target of getting to 100 proofs by the end of next year, so the Dark Man and Riding The Bullet proofs has really helped me out on obtaining that target. The final present was an artwork print of the set French paperback releases of The Stand as a collage. I was admiring the paperbacks recently in someone's Collection Thread and thought the covers had very nice artwork.

As I mentioned in the Secret Santa 2015 thread, I don't know how I resisted not opening these presents for so long, about a month! I waited for Christmas Day to open my Secret Santa presents and my Secret Santa completely nailed it. I honestly don't think I could have chosen better presents, even if I was buying them for myself. Thank you so much SS.
