How many of each?
Will John (Jhanic) get one? :p I wonder if he will add those to the list as it's technically not a book by King

I hadn't planned on adding them to the list because they are not a King book. What's the general feeling?

John

i would

John

I would agree with you.

There are 15 of each. The Lettered proof is signed by Palladini.

I love Paul's books and portfolio, and of course I'm a huge Proofs/ARCs fan, but I was all set to argue AGAINST adding the proofs to the list. Why? Because technically, while they are publications by King, they're not actually published BY King. After all, if we do it once, where would we draw the line? Then I said to myself, "Self, check the catalog before mouthing off" (always sage advice). So I pop open the Manuscripts, Proofs and ARCs section, and what is the VERY FIRST listing?

Fear Itself. Not by King. Hmmmm.

We seem to have a precedence.

A little more checking also shows Night Visions 5 and The Killer Inside Me.

Hmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am going to play Devil's Advocate here (As much as "I LOVE" Paul's Eyes of the Dragon art portfolio proofs they DO NOT belong in the King Manuscripts, Proofs & ARC section with their own listing as they contain no written words by Mr. King. As for George at C-Springs argument FOR...His examples Do Not Hold Water.
#1 Fear Itself contains the foreward "ON BEING A BRAND NAME" written by King.

#2 Night Visions 5 has 3 stories written by King The Reploids, Sneakers & Dedication.

#3 The Killer Inside Me has Kings introduction WARNING! WARNING! Hitch-hikers May Be Escaped LUNATICS!

WITH NO WRITTEN WORDS BY MR. KING THEY ARE NOT A KING PROOF.IMHO
But I also see no reason why they can't be added to the Discussion section of TEOTD proof post.

[needfulthings]

King did write the title. (well except for the words "art" and "portfolio" )

King's title for this book was "THE NAPKINS" so was it King or the publisher that changed the title to The Eyes of the Dragon?

Hold on now, I didn't say I was arguing FOR inclusion (hence the Hmmmmmmmmms). What I pointed out was that a precedence has already been set for inclusion of non-King publications by the three books already listed.

Also, your use of foreward versus foreword automatically gets you flamed ... pet peeve!

[biomieg]

My two cents: when I created the proofs catalog the intention was to keep it limited to King's novels and collections (just like John's master list in the Proofs thread). But in all fairness, I don't think this was explicitly stated anywhere.

Anyway, others are maintaining the proofs catalog now so I'll let them decide

[Robert Fulman]

No horse in this race, but there is an Artist's Proof of The Waste Lands Portfolio published by Grant, and that's not listed in the Proofs section.

THANK YOU! FIXED.

Maybe there should be a separate section for official portfolios? Of course would need to determine what makes a portfolio official, but something like it was paired with the book when sold (e.g., CD double day years) or the artist is involved (Suntup EOTD).

Just an idea.

Suntup Editions Exclusive: As a bonus addition to The Eyes of the Dragon Limited Edition Portfolios featuring the artwork of David Palladini, Suntup Editions in collaboration with Mark Strong of Meibohm Fine Arts, Inc., is proud to announce the inclusion of a separate biographical book to both editions of the art portfolios.

The concise biography was written as a ‘fan tribute’ to the artist by Mark Strong, from almost nine years of compiled information about David Palladini’s personal life and career as an artist up to the present-day. The introduction, written by Mark, speaks of the serendipitous beginning of their friendship in 2008 with a simple phone call from David, which became his sole inspiration for writing the biography. The book, aptly titled Palladini, will include a 70-page biography, as well as over 60 full-color reproductions of artwork by David Palladini, including some of his best-known illustrations and never-before-published fine art. The perfect addition to the portfolios for Stephen King collectors and Palladini fans alike. Included free with all Portfolio orders.

BONUS!!! Thanks Paul

[Randall Flagg]

I love bonus items. That's wonderful.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Just awesome!

[AstroDad]

Very cool Paul.

Please match my letter

[needfulthings]

Will they be Signed by Mr. Strong?
At least the lettered.

[sentinel]

Awesome! Looks interesting.

[zelig]

What a day! I'm busy with something you're going to love. Working day and night... more later.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm pleased that you all like this new bonus we're including. I discovered this bio, which has never been in print, and felt it was the perfect opportunity to take a look at David's life and art outside of EOTD. Also to give Mark Strong the attention he deserves. He spent a long time painstakingly researching this. It has been fully updated and expanded for this print edition. Adding the book has been a lot of extra work, but I'm really pleased it is being done.

What's really nice is that I discovered some artwork of David's that has never been published, so I'm including some of those here for the first time.

I never thought of this. I don't see it being an issue on the Lettered edition as there aren't that many to sign. I can also see if he would be willing to sign the books for the Numbered as well.

BTW, this started out as a 32 page booklet. Now it's 70 pages.

[needfulthings]

It just keeps getting BETTER & BETTER!

[Ari_Racing]

Nice!

SWEET PAUL!

If I were a Project Manager, I'd probably throw out a warning about Scope Creep ... luckily you're the PM!

Something else coming down the pipeline eh? At this point, I should probably just set up a payroll deduction.. Very much looking forward to whatever it is
