I love it. I wish I would have thought of it!
If the dues consist of a reasonable donation to the HF Fundraiser, I'm in.
(If you'll have me despite the gaping holes in my lackluster collection.)
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
Not certain, so don't quote me, but it will likely be a sliding scale
The more you actually have in your collection, the lower the fee....IE, Carlosdetweiller and Mr. Rabbit Trick (named only in respect, not as an affront) would likely pay a nominal ($1?) membership.
Lowly people like you and I would be have to pay much, much more (for the je ne sais quoi of the certification).
That's how it goes
As Groucho Marx is reported to have said "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member!"
Can you imagine the phone calls, deals, rescinded deals, complications, etc.?
Of course if you are dead (in my belief), you care a bit less.
Do we get a badge? I love a good badge.
"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
Not sure, but given the new era, I'm thinking of a sleeve tattoo...
Glenn Chadbourne (Sorry Bob, but I had to do a preemptive GC art comment Block on you) has been requested to do the art.
Probably something similar to this:
Warning: Large image of what could be...
Spoiler:
Where is Alan when I need him!!!????! P
HELP ME FIND
Insomnia #459
ANY S/L #459
Will Glen be doing each sleeve tattoo individually? I'm sure he can get us all (and more) done in a week, but presumably we would need to order through the Overlook Bookstore to get this exclusive artwork?

I'm only joining if it includes a swag bag with a logo'd coffee cup and custom Rachael Readman designed penis jewelry.
Penis jewelry? Very creative, Terry. Now you're thinking outside the box.

I don't have a penis. I demand equality!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Damn. If Bob is paying $1 and it's a siding scale, no way I'm gonna be able to afford the fee!
I want the secret decoder ring!
don't you mean secret de-cooter ring?
BTW... make my ring a small size... I like my cooter rings tight.
for all you naive non-filthy-minded...

boy... I sure dropped the IQ of this thread quick. What can I say, it's what I do. Everybody needs a special purpose.
I've decided the club will be call the King Official Collector Klub
K.O.C.K.
Still working on a motto, but probably something like "If it's not KOCK certified, keep your hands off it!"
