That is an amazing set! We WOULD go ape-shit if SK did something similar!
What was the cost of that?

I will post more pics later. I will need to open the book to see if there was artwork in the interior. I have a feeling that there isn't but I could be wrong.

I'm sure there is a method to his madness!
I guess shipping costs to Australia, make it necessary to bundle a lot of books and ship them together in one package.

Oops! I knew that!
Still valid reason for bundling items for shipping.

I got #27 of "The Talisman" S/L by Straub and King today. I paid $600 for it on ebay, shipping was another $50, but sadly I was stung by custom charges of $150 so all in all it ended up costing me $800, way over budget, but it's a book I've wanted to own for a long time, and a realtively low number so I'm pleased with that. Not sure if I went way over value or if I'm still within range of the price it's worth??
but I'm happy with it - just pissed off about the customs charges.
Also picked up a signed Gift Edition of "Insomnia" - I wasn't sure whether to go with the gift edition or the S/L but I found a signed Gift not much less than cost of a S/L but with intriguing inscription by King so went with that. So those are my two new King pieces and overall am happy with them.

Congrats on the new Books
Thanks!
This isn't King-related but I also picked up a signed first edition of Ira Levin's "A Kiss Before Dying" (his first novel) from 1953. My grail goal is still a signed first of "Rosemary's Baby" but this was unexpected and a bargain, only $13.49 plus similar price for international shipping, so the whole thing came to $26.59 - but for a first signed from 1953 this is a STEAL in my opinion even if the condition of the book is not great. I rarely grab a bargain so was chuffed with this.
Three short stories.
Latest box of books from Tim Lebbon.
I posted the Lebbon books in my collection so as not to clutter up this thread.
Ok that's me hiding my credit card for the next year - no more purchases! I just got another grail item - a signed Dorothy Parker book. The condition is not good and I probably paid too much but I've wanted a signed Dorothy Parker for awhile. (Still looking for a signed Agatha Christie.) Don't suppose there are any Dorothy Parker experts here? It's double signed but I'm a bit confused about the number on the edition.
Congrats on the new acquisitions!! Awesome one's IMHO Do you have a collection thread yet? If so, please point me to it.

Not yet! I need to start one. I also need to buy a proper bookcase. I'm kind of a rogue hit-and-miss skin of the teeth pseudo-collector. I'm not sure when I reach proper "collector" status. Ok I'll go start a collector thread with the photos of the Dorothy Parker to start with!
We all, to a man or woman, started with our first book!!

I think my first proper King collectable - not including perhaps older 1st editions I bought new at the time when I was a teenager - was a signed "Bag of Bones" US 1st. It arrived soiled and the seller refunded me half the price. I got it for less than $50 I think in the end. To date still remains the cheapest King signed I ever got. My first S/L was "From A Buick 8" (I think). What was yours?
