Congrats, Jake!

Fantastic Jake. Good luck with the final piece..!
Thanks to Jerome's remodel deals, I picked up audio cassettes wrapped in plastic of DTI and II (he threw in unwrapped Wastelands). I'm going to be adding more history books, some for reading others for display, so his copy of The Constitution Limited Edition was a nice acquisition for me. It's big, but I figured out a way to temporarily display. With the newborn some day being able to move around, I'm guessing this area is going to be replaced by a tall locked behind glass bookshelf and my dragons (an artist friend did it in tattoo dot technique if you're wondering) will have to be moved somewhere. He included some fresh reading material for me pictured, including IN MiNT CondITioN since I took 2 months off work to hang with the kid
As an amazing bonus, I got to see some cool stuff in his eye popping collection. Thanks Jerome so much for showing me so many things that i'll never have!
I also acquired some other pieces i'll post as soon as Michael's is done framing them.

Very nice! I don't think I've seen those audio books before. Nice dragon artwork too!

That is a very nice DT room! 8)
I made some changes to my home office setup (again) so I could accommodate a Billy shelf picked up from IKEA last week. The black metal Tennesco shelf went out to the garage giving me more storage there. I really liked my Dragons, but they had to go to the garage as well since Billy is about 7'h. I was going to use some lights that Jerome recommended, but the cord isn't long enough so have plans to have electrician put some more led cans in ceiling and am toying with the idea to have him wire some led lighting in cabinets and putting to a switch. As a side note, am going to have my windows in office and front doors filmed to give protection to this side of the room since i have more stuff exposed to sunlight.
I've arranged my #51 DT collection (except IV which is #229) with my extra #96 Wastelands and PC SOS on the corner of my desk with one of Rachel Readman's Constant Readers. This has cleared a large section of desk for more books possibly. The other constant reader and rest of existing collection went into the case.
While I've been rearranging, I've made some new acquisitions. After picking up Regulators Power Wagon print from Jerome on one of his Remodel deals, I worked with local Michaels again who came up with a great frame.
I picked up The Regulators #323 box, a second Gunslinger 1st edition, 2nd printing (Fine condition) and an amazing Gunslinger Metal Case with artwork (holding my 1st edition, 1st printing). Special thanks to Jerome for facilitating these. I also need to thank Chad (aka cit74) who gave me a tour of his collection and parted with signed End of Watch, Skeleton Crew Slipcase PC edition, #241 Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and limited edition Fearie Tales. It was a nice evening yesterday when I finally got everything put together and placed. I also have much more room now for additions even though I told the wife I would be slowing down on acquisitions for a bit (I think I just told her that a couple of months ago)

Stylish!
That metal Gunslinger case is awesome...
Great stuff!. The green layer of matting on the framing of The Regulators print/label makes it pop.
I am suitably impressed as all get out. That looks like a room to live in! Who is The Regulators check made out to?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

"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
Stunning all around. Congratulations!
Good work! I love what you did with the regualtors artwork!

Great set-up. I like seeing the evolution of this collection (and office)...
