    I met Gerald for the first time yesterday afternoon just before his shop closed. Very nice gentleman and I really liked his IT display in his storefront window. I've traded emails with Gerald for years...was nice to meet the man himself.

    Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
    Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand

    As a still newish collector, my first thought on reading about Gerald and David together in the same room was how much i would have loved being the lucky fly on that wall!!

    I've met Gerald a couple of times -- once at Necon and then again in his store last month. We had a nice chat and he showed me some of his cool, ultra-rare stuff.

    It is amazing to see that this thread celebrates its first birthday tomorrow and as far as I can see it has received three posts from "neo-trinity".
    "Gerald Winters and Son, the new bookstore in Bangor".
    I suppose it is easy to forget you have had a thread started for you.

    I saw the lettered copy of NLR but I find it difficult to comprehend a lettered copy for this particular chap book. Weren't all the closest friends and family at the NYC party already? Why a lettered set when all the important people were there? I have not heard one peep about a lettered NLR in the 18 years since the party was held. It just seems "odd" that all of a sudden a lettered NLR appears with no price listed and was pulled within a day or two with no explanation or fanfare. I'm not saying that this was a forgery because I know of a lettered Tom Gordon and it seems to be the only one. So this stuff must exist. I'm just surprised that seemingly nobody had more questions about that lot.

    It's pretty easy to assume there are 15 lettered copies of TGWLTG, as it says so right on the book. NLR is not so easy to be certain (in fact damn near impossible).

    Yes, Jerome. That was my oversight and I'm glad you set this straight so swiftly!

    I was in the shop recently chatting with Gerald when he told me he had to run three copies of Misery firsts to a person who was taking them over to Marsha. Of course I was intrigued as this is one I've wanted signed for some time but no more was said. The details of these books have since emerged on Geralds FB page. A local theater here in Bangor are putting on a production of Misery and these three, now flatsigned, books will be auctioned off over the course of three nights. I already had tickets to go on one of these nights so it's rather exciting. A little disappointing too since the auction is open to anyone, anywhere and not simply to theater goers. There goes my chance at one as I'm sure the bidding will get pretty high but here's a chance for all of you out there with lots of disposable income!
    However, I am looking forward to the play since I missed the Broadway run.

    Hopefully there wasn't anything of great value stored in the basement.

    Some major losses it seems, including manuscripts. I sincerely hope Gerald is insured. It wont bring back these lost treasures, but it will at least allow Gerald to continue his business.
    "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

    Another article. This sounds devastating. Sounds like 90% of the inventory was affected by the flooding.

    What an enormous personal loss, and a significant hit to the collecting community at large. Such a tragedy.
