I asked David Palumbo to add a remarque to my CD Letter QQ Salem's Lot....I was torn between him doing the Marsten House or Susan being staked (he did an illustration of this in the book. I said surprise me and this is what I just opened:

Love it!

[DoctorZaius]

That is outstanding, David.

[Aronstg]

That's great David. One of his better remarques for sure.

Palumbo's artwork for Salem's Lot is simply PERFECT. By far one of the best "new" artists to work with King, along with Tomislav Tikulin.

Anyone willing and able to contact these artists for the benefit of the Haven Fund next year? If so, PM me?

[firemonkey66]

Erin Wells did a remarque for me in my lettered IT. I just got it back today and I am very very happy with the artwork. I wanted a 'deadlights theme' and Erin delivered spectacularly! She's a class act, very professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks, Erin!

That is beautiful!

Alright guys and gals. I'm trying to have Vinny Chong do some remarques for me, but it seems that shipping the books to him (and back) is going to be perhaps more than the art itself. Those of you that commission remarques more regularly than I do, what is your thoughts to having him do them on loose sheets and then tipped into the books? 4 of them are just Gift Editions, but I do also have a S/L Doctor Sleep that I was going to send. It also depends on how much my local book specialist would charge for the tip-ins. Am I doing more harm than good, particularly with Doctor Sleep?

Thoughts?

Yeah, I would seriously recommend shipping the actual books and absorbing the s/h costs. Ship all the books at once to consolidate cost and ask to receive them back the same way. Just my three beans.

On top of what Bill has suggested, I would also recommend shipping the books without their traycase / slipcase to lower the weight and therefore postage cost. Also send the books without their dust jackets so that they cannot get damaged in transit.

Very good points, indeed!!!

[TCCBodhi]

Yes, I've removed all the DJ/Slipcovers. My current box is 10 pounds, even more if I add the new SubPress Shining that I just got. Shipping will be as much or more than Vinny's charge. What a sham(e)! I'll buckle down and do it, I put my name down on his list at least a year ago, so I'm really looking forward to it, and glad that I had as many to get done as I have. Thanks guys.

Edit: I got it figured out, I think. All told it's a 13 lb box (12X12X8). If I'm getting the right calculation on USPS, I can use Priority Mail International at a $100.15.....which is much more reasonable than what I'd been seeing before. I guess I'll see tomorrow when I get it to the PO. I'll make sure I have it calculated on my phone to show them when I take it to the desk (AGAIN!)

[Randall Flagg]

Keep in mind that $100.15 is one way. You likely will want the books back.

[TCCBodhi]

Yep, already have a pricing on that too. Much better coming back than going. Thanks for the reminder though.

I can't wait to share the results. I've got ideas for most of the books, but since I haven't read 20th Century Ghosts yet, I don't know what to suggest to Vinny except for the Balloon Boy. Anyone have an interesting suggestion for the 2nd copy I'm sending him?

Forgive me if I posted these before, but I acquired 2 remarqued Gwendy's Button Box books with Ben Baldwin art (he did the cover):
