Much appreciated. Not going to lie - I had to look lagniappe up.I use "lagniappe" several times a day.
It's now been immortalized as the Word of the Day!
I'm pretty sure we're going to have to start calling you Dictionary.

"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
VERY NICE!

So I feel that dustjackets on these just don't do the books justice. I think the nubuk needs to breath and show off that custom binding. It looks good like this.

Beautiful and I agree, much classier without the DJs.
Much better! To be really honest: I hate the cover art of the trilogy (especially the spines with the smileys). This is much much better)
The dj's do obscure a beautiful spine. Cool thing is, the owner can display it many a different way.
Beautiful and I agree, much classier without the DJs.Many thanks everyone! Seeing it in person and feeling the material is amazing, great choice RF.
Btw - a side note on the trilogy DJs there is an annoying flaw, the 'End of Watch' title on the spine is a lighter red and looks faded almost pink/salmon. I have seen this on 3 sets now. Anyone else that have it notice that?

Yes, they used a lighter shade of red for sure. Almost as annoying as the 'Part numbers' on the Green Mile PB spines not lining up....Beautiful and I agree, much classier without the DJs.Many thanks everyone! Seeing it in person and feeling the material is amazing, great choice RF.

Don't they know that 90% of collectors have some level of OCD?

Hi my good friends in DT land! - It's been a while since I've updated my collection thread. Well, the good news is I have completed my King collection.That is, with all of my personal gaps, etc. This of course does not include future editions and current pre-orders. I have since been moving most of all my duplicates/multiples aside and am going to be sending to Betts. Most are gift editions, some S/Ls, and some artwork and portfolios. Hopefully some end up on some of your shelves.
I wouldn't have been able to fill these gaps hadn't I received the help from many of you all here. So many many thanks!
I have been continuing my collection for other authors I read and collect (McCammon, Lansdale, GRRM, Brown, Hobbs, Scalzi, Abercrombie, etc). Most in the Sci-Fi / Fantasy genres. I have filled almost all my gaps with non-King books I've been after as well. It feels nice to have some collectible closure so to speak. I have also been listing, here and there, some of my multiples for non-King. I just needed a little 'house cleaning' so that this habit didn't turn hoarding. It was getting close.
Here are some updated picks of the main cases and shelves. A handful of new things as well. As always please feel free to let me know if you want to see any specific books in more details, or have questions, etc.
Thanks for lookin'
Main cases in my office:
Top Shelf:
Close-ups of the below shelves:
A few more S/L editions, Rebounds, and my flatsigned King books:
Some of my McCammon overflow and others:
Misc:
Just picked these up recently from SP-Books. These numbered limited editions (of 1000) were discussed on another thread (other collectible authors, I think). I really enjoy these a lot. They are handwritten manuscript copies of The Great Gatsby and Frankenstein. Really really neat to read and see their own edits, cross outs, editions, deletions, and notes.
A few things from our library:
Not in perfect shape, but was happy to put together a full set from Dark Harvest.

Looking good!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Very impressive.
Outstanding. What are the three books to the left of the Mr. Mercedes trilogy?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Wow. Why do I even bother looking. Extremely impressive collection.
Beautiful!
