    Just re-read that paragraph again. Sorry to hear about your health issues. Good luck going forward. But that job does sound interesting. And your collection is cool.

    Wow, I didn't post at all last year in this thread! Well...guess it's time to change that! I've been so incredibly busy with work and personal life in the last year. Quick update: I've been working for over two years now with the Oregon Department of Corrections, processing incoming/outgoing mail for 900+ inmates a day in one of Oregons prisons (Oregon has 14 prisons...how many do YOU have?!). I finally found a job that I love! I get paid to read mail, confiscate drugs, read smut mail and process tons of books for inmates each and every day (including lots of Kings books)! Bad news is that very slowly my health is declining. This year marks 16 years that I've been living with HIV/AIDS, and I'm starting to feel the long-term affects of it (for someone living in the world of modern medicine). Meds have been affecting the bone density in my legs (hello arthritis!), have been having some brain/memory issues as well as small seizures that started last year...all of which is requiring testing after testing. With all this, I'm looking to partially "retire" or majorly cut back with work once I have my house paid off in 5 years.

    Besides all that, I'm still very much collecting King and buying more then my pocket books and my shelves can keep up with!! I'm constantly re-figuring my office/library and am currently building built-in shelves into my bedroom to house all my King non-fic and anthology appearances.
    Glad to hear that you enjoy your work Jon and that you should be able to partially retire in just a few years.
    Given all that you've been through with this disease, I think that you'll deserve not having to work so much !

    Thank you all for the well wishes and replies! I've really enjoyed collecting promo stuff and magazines for over 20 years now, sad I had to sell most of it a few years ago, but have been very lucky with some of these recent gems...a lot of which I hardly ever see come up for sale. To me a lot of this stuff is worth a lot more then a lettered edition or even some proofs. Promo posters may not be as desirable to most collectors, not about turning a profit for me but preserving the history and the artwork. Always looking for more promo items if anyone is selling....book displays, counter standees, posters, etc.

    Today's mail brought me a proof of SLEEPING BEAUTIES. Had a small tear but a steal at only $20! Matches nicely with my UK proof.

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

    Thanks! I'm starting it this week (after my current reread of UNDER THE DOME) for the review column in SCREAM magazine. Can't wait!

    Thanks guys!

    Another recent arrival this week and one that many may have not seen before (or even heard of before). Had been on the hunt for this one for quite a while but finally found one for a steal. THE DOUBLEDAY 100th BIRTHDAY READER is said to be a special promotional item given away to Doubleday representatives and staff (thanks to Justin Brooks' biblio), I can't tell if it was released in stores or not. It contains a CARRIE excerpt and a short bio on King.

    Cool book!

    Could you enlighten me about this Justin Brooks fellow? I recently bought a proof that once belonged to him and contained the original letter addressed to him. I tried Google but it's not an uncommon name and I wasn't able to find any further info...

    Justin Brooks wrote a bibliography for King's works, published by Cemetery Dance:

    It's a great book, I have it.
