Your New Pride and Joy!

[jsobanski]

With a very big thanks to David at Betts, I was able to acquire a complete Dark Tower S/L PC set. I have finally been able to sort through the massive amount of pictures I took (I may be a bit obsessed) and wanted to share a few. In order not to go too overboard I've only picked a few of my favorites:









For anyone as obsessed as me, I did post a bunch more to an album

Great set of DT books. Congrats!!

Picked this up last week for the hell of it.....DT Partial Set #31.

So......do I take the shrink off???? UGH!

"For the hell of it"...

Shrink off, every time... (Unless the plan is to resell within the next few months - or donate them to me - then keep shrink on please).

Agreed; take the shrinkwrap off. Paper needs to breathe, and if there was any humidity where it was stored previously, keeping the shrinkwrap on just traps the moisture and creates a breeding ground for mildew. (Don't ask me how I know ) Plus, while there may be a number stick on the wrap, that doesn't necessarily confirm that that number is duplicated in the book (or if there are other problems, like uncut pages, bad binding issues, ink splots, etc.)...only a visual inspection confirms that.

I can't believe that the shrinkwraps adds much to the value in the long run (given that it can be added after-the-fact at any Kinkos or similar outfit), but it can ruin the value if moisture is trapped or if it is hiding other issues.

Thanks everyone! I will definitely have to start a thread soon once I get time to take some more pictures of my books.

Starting to collect Clive Barker?
I always been intrigued by his artwork...

[Ari_Racing]

Thanks everyone!

I'm not collecting Barker but I'm starting to buy other books from him that I've been postponing for years.
