The collector's here should prove an invaluable help to you and should be able to answer most any questions you have. If I can be of any help myself I'd be happy to do so.
Welcome Luca. Check out all the threads here. I am sure you will be entertained.
Collecting S/L's is fun-and expensive.
Thanks everybody for your answers!!!
Brice, your words sound like a nice melody for a new member!!!!
Randall, they are expensive I know...my Bank is afraid!!!
I'm Dark Tower fan and I have a new sickness, a new "Virus"....To collect S/L Editions, I will need rare books therapy
Note: Sorry for my english, I'm studing
Sadly, if book therapy means help to NOT buy books I think you will find little of that help here.I'm Dark Tower fan and I have a new sickness, a new "Virus"....To collect S/L Editions, I will need rare books therapyYour sickness can only find encouragement here I think.
Encouragement and help to buy books is what I'm looking for...Sadly, if book therapy means help to NOT buy books I think you will find little of that help here.
I know that you will not look me like a crazy boy !!!! Because you're crazy too!!!
It's very nice to find a place like this, where "spend lot of money" for a book is not a crime.
If it were I would be in prison for life.

Welcome!
Maybe would your be interested by what seems to be a 1st Italian SHINING edition?
Seems to be.. i aint absolutely sure..
Artan, be sure you check out the website Stephen King Collector (see the links page). Tomas has almost all the SK limiteds listed there. (He doesn't have a few of the UK editions). He also lists some of the expected prices for these editions. Just remember that collecting Stephen King is addictive!

Welcome Luca! I'm sure you'll find all the collecting help and encouragement you need here at TDT.com!

Welcome artan. Looking forward to your participation in the threads.
What is the significance of your username "artan." Just curious.

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Hey people.
I don't know what to say other than here I am. I've just started to look around here and I recognize most of you.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Aaron. I live in Maine, 45 minutes or so from Bangor. I'm a boiler engineer and attend UMA part time. I love Harry Potter, Big Brother, Lost, the bands Down and Otep and Jeeps and Glocks. I'm married with 3 kids. I want a hot little Swedish nanny. I'm still really handsome and buff. I miss the old days at the .net.
I don't collect King anymore but I do still have my books. I read alot of Anne Rice now. I love the DT comics. I love life.
Here's a few pics of whatever, some recent, some not, some reposts.
The result of the snowblower fund. You know who you are.
A place I love dearly. I also happened to buy it this year.
Let me look for some more.
Those photos are beautiful DS--I love the woods one, it looks very peaceful.
Thanks for posting them.

A NEW GAME BEGINS
Whoa, welcome back Dif!
Haven't seen you around in a looong time. Those woods look fantastic.
Great to see you, Aaron. Those kids just keep getting bigger, don't they?
Do me a favor. Find out if your theoretical Swedish nanny has an imaginary sister to watch my kids. Thanks.
