[The Library Policeman]

Ahh that's very cool, Jon. Always good to find one with your name on it! I was the same as yourself by the way. King and Herbert were the first 2 authors I read in the genre and I was hooked!
I travelled down to Birmingham in 2012 for the ASH signing in Waterstone's. First time I got to meet the great man. He was really, really nice as well. Signed for hours that night. He signed 3 books for me and happily posed for a picture as well as having a warm chat with me too. He's sadly missed.

Unfortunately, I never got to meet him, saying that I have never met any authors at all! Ewan McGregor, Rowan Atkinson and many racing drivers!

I was watching an old episode of Not The Nine O Clock News on UK Gold last night funnily enough! LOVE Rowan Atkinson. Big Blackadder fan too! The only 2 authors I've met are James Herbert and Stephen King (Paris signing last year). If I could have picked two it would have been those 2 so I'm a happy man. Although Joe Hill did a signing in Edinburgh for NOS4A2 that I missed and I'm still kicking myself!! Half an hour away!

Any way my apologies for derailing your collection thread, Jon. Keep the pics coming. You have an amazing collection.

Little did we know it'd be his last, eh?

I suspect he was suffering from ill-health for a while, he was fairly regular in releasing novels but there was 6 years between the last two.

(I snipped out the first four photos - they are posted upthread.)

These last three are the ones I haven't bought yet. They look so nice, but they sure are expensive. I keep spending my dough on other authors, but seeing these renews my interest in continuing my set.

[jonp]

Hi Patrick,
I agree they are beautiful books and the last three have been going up $50 with each release going from $300 to $400. Got mine through Camelot books - they just let me know when to pay! At least only one book to go!!

'Salem's Lot Illustrated 262/315 (This book is a dust magnet - how do you clean it?!!!!)

I use a lint roller (very carefully). I also have a clear (acetate?) cover for the book itself-thanks to a kind member here.

[jonp]

Thanks I'll try that.

[Stockerlone]

Amazing stuff !!!

[Merlin1958]

Ditto. Pretty amazing stuff you have there!!!
