    so whilst I did make it a little easier on my SS by publishing a list of Books about King I didnt have, They went the extra mile and got me 2 MINT condition books that are the first on my list (and quite hard to find)
    I am blown away by these copies, thank you so much Antoni!!



    The Fridge Magnet is awesome!




    "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

    Thanks to my excellent Secret Santa Ralph, I now have the traycase to put my 11/22/63 S/L in, a very nice Shivers VII Uncorrected Proof, the Scribner HC of Blockade Billy AND the Cemetery Dance HC (in shrinkwrap still) in it's slipcover. Very nice additions for me and I'm very glad to get that very much needed Traycase. I've long been meaning to get something for that very special book and have just never quite gotten it done.

    11/22/63 is the book that brought me to the forum and renewed my interest in King after some years of "middle of the road" books (for him). It's been a great, though expensive, ride since then but my Collection has really grown quite nicely from the expertise, advice & generosity of the people in this community. I love you all, individually and as a group!

    Kudos to my Secret Santa who not only took the time to stalk me browse my collection pages and find one that I was missing, but also found me something unique and book-related that ties right into my WWII history fetish interest with an original anti-German advert from 1942. Well done!

    I think I have a good idea who my Secret Santa is (SystemCrashOveride?). I don't have a copy of either book, and I am very happy to add them to my collection! Thanks a million!

    Wanted to pop in an update that I was able to ship my SS gift out since my last post, though I doubt it made it there by the 19th and also to let me SS know I did receive my package, but haven't opened it yet.

    My wife is insisting I wait until Christmas, but I plan to sneak it away from her when we get back in town on Thursday (taking the kids to Dallas Six Flags...it is pretty cold out...not sure this is a good idea...might have a good horror story prompt for Mr King when I get back).

    I received an awesome Stanley Hotel gift set from my SS







    I really like these as Estes Park is a special place to me. That is where I took my fiancé to the top of a mountain and asked her to marry me! Amazing job SS (I have no idea who you are)

    Firstly, everyone seems to have received great stuff! I, myself, also received a great gift, exactly the type of thing that I currently collect. I'm NOT quite sure who my Secret Santa was, but thank you very much. In addition to not having this set in my collection, this will be the exact set that I introduce the Star Wars series to Rose, so thanks!

    Beautiful:













    And secondly, THIS is what is currently happening to MY Secret Santa recipient. Seriously, what the fuck!? Sorry buddy ...

    I'd go with downloading the Despecialized Editions. I've watched each of these and they are by far my preferred restorations, simply an amazing job.

    It IS a sweet gift though, always great to see what they put into the packages!
