Great interview with Bob and live tour of The Basement, Paul! And I was happy to see Bob is doing well.
Fantastic stuff, Paul. Thanks to you and Bob. Great to see the legendary basement in such fine detail and great to see Bob again.
It was a real treat to see you and Bob Jackson- and Bob's legendary Basement, Paul. Thanks so much for that. Huge fun. You guys could probably do a weekly show focusing deeper on a particular item or items- and it could go for many years!

Pleased you all liked it! Was a great experience. I walked down there and realized immediately that it would be a shame not to share the ‘tour’ with others.
Did I miss something?
Where is the video with the tour of Bob's (carlosdetweiler?) basement?

That was an incredible video with Bob Jackson, Paul. Thank you both! That basement has pretty much everything a Stephen King collector could desire. Glad we got such a detailed tour. Really quite something to see those "holy grail" books opened up and discussed. Much better than looking at standard stock photos and filling in the blanks with your imagination!
The Firestarter print is my favorite so far. Looks fantastic. I wonder what it would look like with one blue and one green eye? Very Bowiesque no doubt.
Glad you enjoyed it Zidan.
Yep, the Firestarter print is fantastic Richard. One of my favorites. The different colored eyes is interesting.
On a related note, for those who watched the video, I mentioned that we couldn’t find a slide or scan of the original Cujo art. It was an issue because the scan I had for testing was from the jacket and did not reproduce well. I have always been optimistic that it would turn up.
While I was there, we spent some time searching through boxes and cabinets, but we didn’t find anything.
Then the day after I left, I got an email from Steve saying he found the slide which was made from the original! So the final print will now be the best reproduction we have seen of the Cujo cover.
A NICE surprise (though hinted at) print today! This is the copy of The Shining that I read for my first time some 3 decades ago or more!
I'm looking forward to receiving it. I would suspect that this print in particular would not stand up to being tubed by it's owners. Do you know if that's true? Does the foil buckle? Thanks for making this one, Paul!
We have some great news to share! Not only are we shipping the beautiful Firestarter print to pre-orders and subscribers, but we also have a very special surprise print for you.
When Elizabeth Rayne published this article about The Covers Collection on SYFYWIRE, she ended the post with a very interesting comment:
"Also, note to Paul: if you are somehow able to morph that 1978 reflective silver cover of The Shining into poster form, I will worship you forever."
Well, how could I not take on a challenge like that!? I got to work, and wouldn't you know it, I made it happen! I am really excited to announce this very unique BONUS PRINT to The Covers Collection.
We have reproduced the cover of the FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION OF THE SHINING, right down to the silver reflective paper!
This print is unique in that it is not printed on the standard art paper as the rest of the line. This is beautifully printed on a special metallic reflective paper, just like on the original paperback.
A nice interview by Paul Suntup: A look back at Otto Penzler’s special edition of Cujo, and how it saved his publishing house. I added it to the Cujo S/L page for posterity.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
That is a nice article. Thanks for sharing, Bev and great interview, Paul!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Great interview Paul! Interesting comment about the foil problem in the Cujo design. I don’t know why, but I always think of Glenn Chadbourne when I see that cover, it looks very similar to the foil stickers the Overlook Connection Bookstore has made for their ‘exclusive’ covers series!
"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 for posting Bev. Glad you all liked it. More to come.

Wow! It does!

Hot off the press - OMG these look amazing! There is still time to pick-up one of these iconic prints (and match your number) if you didn't see the announcement.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Just got done preparing The Shining paperback prints for 12/1 shipping. These are so cool. Exactly what I had in mind and they worked out perfectly.
In other news, for those who missed it, I did this really nice interview with Charles Ardai, founder of Hard Case Crime.

Hey Paul,
Not sure if I saw one somewhere or not but was there ever a hopeful timeline of the IT rebound? Maybe even an order of ops? I always find it interesting to see what order things go in for the process and such
