Your New Pride and Joy!

I noticed the jacket had only the trade edition price. I assume this was normal for the s/l of The Waste Lands? Please tell me it is!

Apparently the limited edition had the same dust jacket as the first edition, so it's normal. Click the below link and then hit the 'discussion' tab on that page to see the thread where I found this information.

No problem Congratulations on the purchases, by the way!

Congrats on the new books! I need to get in gear and get some Dark Tower S/Ls.

[Theli]

Very nice additions AstroDad!

AMD, fantastic new digs! Congrats!

[jreitan47]

Very nice! I've been having a hell of a time finding a Bachman Books first in my price range as well!

Congrats... LOVE the DT S/L's

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Congrats !! show us the library !!!!

Just before I found out I was being transferred (or severed), I had ordered some Billy bookcases from Ikea. I decided not to assemble them after they arrived about a month later, so I will build them when I move in. The movers are loading on the 30th of Dec. So look for pictures (in my collection thread) around Feb or so.

You know, of all the pictures taken by the builder during the build process, I don't think I have any pictures of the bedrooms (except master).

Here is the floor plan for the 2nd floor (I got the optional media room with the wet bar). I haven't decided which room will be the library. (Master bedroom on ground floor). I think it will either be Bedroom #2 or Bedroom #3. The window in Bedroom #2 faces south, and bedroom in #3 faces north. The lots on either side of my property have not been sold, so I don't know if my neighbors houses will be 1 or 2 stories (probably 2, since the lots are small, so can't get a big footprint for a single story home). Which ever room is not the library will be a storage/exercise room (or exercise equipment storage room ). Bedroom #4 will be a guest room. Any recomendations on which room should be the library/den?

Just got this in Australia from Br!an the champion. I'm absolutley thrilled. Br!an also went out of his way for me and grabbed me the U.S BOB,a slipcasd Finders Keepers,and a 1st Misery. I've never seen such outstanding packing,honestly. It makes me want to email everyone I've ever posted something to and apologise. He is just a great a bloke, and I'm really grateful for his help.
Anyway,signed Revival. Love it. Thanks again mate! Having trouble with imgur. Can't seem to directly pics to this site. Links only?

Bedroom #3. It's the largest and the north facing window should have zero direct sunlight. You still should put tint and blinds/curtains on the window.

Well I haven't had many new additions to my collection lately because I have been saving up for this new PnJ

I am still living near Chicago, but should be moving to Austin area in early January.



Edit: can anyone see the picture? I can't, I've done this before, not sure what I did wrong this time.
Edit#2: nevermind figured it out.

That looks like a potentially "Haunted House"!!!! LOL LOL

Spoiler:

J/K Congrats, my friend. Looks wonderful!!!!

[herbertwest]

That's a wonderful Pride & Joy, congratulations !

Yesterday was a good day for me getting stuff in the mail. I was lucky when a Bazaar of Bad Dreams UK proof got listed on ABE a couple of weeks ago for $100. I must have seen it pretty soon after it was listed. It arrived yesterday. Number 65 in case anyone is keeping track.

I also got a copy of the Hard Case Crime edition of Joyland. This is one of the ones with a Robert McGinnis drawing. I am normally not attracted to books with added drawings but I really wanted one of these. Interestingly three of us collectors ordered these at about the same time. Steve Sargent at Analecta Books messed up the shipping and becca69 received my copy in the mail. We had exchanged e-mails earlier and she knew that this was the drawing I had requested so she sent it on to me. I have not received anything from Analecta yet but I assume I will get a copy that I will forward to the correct owner. What a clusterf.......! Anyway I am grateful to becca69 for going to the post office during the busiest time of the year to make sure I got my correct copy.

A couple of other things arrived. I bought that ex-lib copy of Carrie from eBay that was posted here for $100. The dj is near perfect but has the library sticker on the spine. I felt certain that I could get it off with heat from a hair dryer and tweezers but it is stuck pretty hard. I am sending it to Dragonfly Bindery. George Sargent said he could get it off with no problem. He has all kinds of solvents. I plan to marry the dj with a beautiful but jacketless copy of Carrie that I bought for $75 a while back.

I also got my PS Publishing edition of Skeleton Crew from Subterranean Press.

I am still waiting on my lettered Thinner from PS Publishing. Tracking says it cleared through Chicago on 12/13 but no data after that. It is registered mail so I am not too worried but where the heck is it?

And here I thought you were the best Secret Santa ever!! Haha! Glad it made it. It's really super nice in person. It was great having it "in my collection" for that short time - hehe! Glad it got there safely.
