    Jim, please show some pictures of your collection. There's nothing to be ashamed of even if "it is pretty modest". We'd all love to see it.

    Ditto. Would love to see anything and everything you got!
    And don't worry; the Dark Tower series, as a whole, was never one of my favorites either. Solidarity, brother!

    Very nice setup.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Fresh Fish! fresh fish!

    Welcome Jim, great introduction and the double whammy of the first photo being something new we all lust after. That's a GREAT way to display the Sk figure! Please post more photos of your books and tell us where you got that case!
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Very nice! And if I recall correctly, that small case next to the reading chair (with Cujo on the lower shelf) houses something pretty unique.

    I like the Six Stories manuscript/proof. If you could send me photos of some of the corrections that may or may not be in King's handwriting I would be glad to take a look.
