After a long debate with myself I got my hands on a copy of the Deluxe Dracula by Centipede. It was shipped from UK and I got a really (really!) nice deal considering the original price when published.
It's roman numeral XIII of XXII copies. I was a little disappointed, I can say, about the size of it. Anyone who have a copy of Artist Inspired by King or Lovecraft traycase editions know how Centipede can make big and heavy books. I then realized that's not an art book, so paper stock is not the same and weight. But this edition (along with other deluxe) have one of the nicest paper I've seen and touched, deckled edge, nice traycase (leather/velvet? something soft and pleasant), bound in leather, extra suite of prints. The prints in the book itself, in my opinion, should have been full bleed. They height of the art don't fit the height of the pages. I know it was one of the first Deluxe Centipede ever made so I'm sure the new ones are better.
Now I'm only worried that I'm gonna want to get more Deluxe...
Oh, that looks fantastic!! Congrats!!!
Edit: I am a huge fan of Stokers' "Dracula". It is still one of my favorite horror books of all time. Any chance to get additional photo's?

Pictures will have to wait (from me). It went back in the shipping box since I'm in the process of a lot of renovations in the new house I bought and all my books are stored away. Can't wait to have them all unpacked, hopefully in June.Originally Posted by Merlin1958
Here's some other pictures from the auction but we settled away from eBay. It looks to be my copy that was for sale like 2 years ago at Bloody Rare Books :-) All I can say is that I bought it for less than 1/3 of the price it was from them.

Cool enough. The illustrations are very good as well. Who is the artist, may I ask?

This is by far the nicest looking/feeling book I have ever owned. It was the book that got me into King so I had to have the Lettered. So amazing!

Bought this from bilbio phage which arrived today! Best King inscription I own.
I'll be uploading some pics from more recent "new pride and joy's" to my collection thread soon, including Rachel Readman's remarqued "Just After Sunset", her sculpture "Constant Reader", and a few other bits and pieces.
and even a green oneI have some black ink sigs...
A few of the pre-signed from NYC Dr Sleep signing were in GREEN ink
A few members posted pics. I know of at least 4 or 5.
I was looking at my signatures today & noticed almost all are Blue. Also noticed that my Salem's Lot S/L's are done with blue & black which I thought was weird. For the same s/L 2 colors.
Kris that lettered IT is AWESOME!
Thanks man. It is the nicest book I have ever laid my eyes on. What a job they did with that man! Yeah I also heard 2 inks were used in Salems... But I thought red and black. Mine is black. Maybe he ran out of ink in his pen? Lol

CD make some great Lettereds in my opinion. I know some don't like the SOD books but I love my set of 1 & 2 lettered the production & presentation of the books seems a few step up from the S/L as with the IT Lettered & IT S/L I'd like to get a Lettered IT some day.
Two colors were used in the numbering of the S/L copies red & black.
1-300 black
1-80 red
The black & blue signatures I have are both of the black numbers 1-300
DO THEY EVER. CD is one of the best for sure. Sorry your right about the lot colors. I did not know about the sigs though... thanks

lol. My wife is a big supporter of it. What really got me started was I bought some books and made about $1500 on them really fast.... then I bought more... made a few hundred.. then started to NOT want to sell what I was buying... started loving having them... and then bought some new book cases and so on and so on. I was in the right place at the right time for a few of these books. I love it. I plan to have every S/L by years end and then every lettered within the next year or soHoly shit! 35 S/Ls in 4 months?
