    Default Book Collection: Frondz

    I've only been a member for a short time, but am amazed by all of your collections, and especially by your responsiveness to questions/comments made by folks on the forum. This is a pretty great resource, and I'm happy to be a part of the circle, so to speak. I thought I'd share my modest SK holdings with y'all. I am more of an accumulator than a collector; I have a few thousand other books, and I tend to wander here and there when making purchases. In other words, this collection is by no means complete, but it is where I started my journey several years ago. Reading SK always feels like home to me.

    Early Doubleday editions. Real peach here is Night Shift. The others are a bit rough. And...sadly there is a BIG hole to fill. Help, anyone??

    A few others. Very nice first UK of IT. I LOVE The Shape Under the Sheet - what a great production, and contains a nice crossover signature of one of my other collected authors, Joe R. Lansdale.

    11/22/63, signed by King at the Dallas event, sitting next to a fairly nice copy of The Bachman Books. You may ask: "Why in this order?" Well...I tend to shift books around a lot to make room for, you guessed it, more books. So the fewer books I have to move, the better. Things tend to get out of order that way. Can some of you relate??

    Signed Insomnia print. Yet to be framed: Rock Bottom Remainders signed lithograph. The caricatures are kinda cool, but I mostly just like this group of signatures all together.

    Nope, all of my books are in order, so there!

    Seriously, nice stuff.

    Couple of nice signatures you've got there. I love the 80's ones.

    Ha! Fair enough. I know SK collectors can be a bit....obsessive.
    And thank you!

    Wow! That sounds like a nice piece. Did you get either of them to sign it, or did you buy it that way? Pretty damn cool either way.

    A few more items of interest. First, Bachman paperbacks. Missing...of course, Rage. The Long Walk, though a little worn, I did score at a pb swap store for a couple bucks.
    King etc. is an interesting little freebie of excerpts from King books done by the Books etc. bookstore in London, 1998. In the Justin Brooks bibliography, A64. Contains (I believe?) a pre-pub excerpt from Bag of Bones.

    A rather worn, first pocket book edition of Cell, signed. I actually really enjoyed reading Cell.

    A must-have DT piece. First appearance of "The Tale of Gray Dick." McSweeney's issue 10 was later printed as a paperback, but the original only went out to subscribers. Funny note, it is "Grey" in the table of contents, and "Gray" on the title page. "Gray" is the spelling throughout the story. Not terribly hard to find online, but oddly I've found 2 copies in thrift stores over the years.
