What is it? The link doesn't work for me for whatever reason.

It doesn't work for me either.

It looks to be a first edition of Jack Finney's THE BODY SNATCHERS.

Not sure why it doesn't show for some members. Perhaps a broweser setting.
Hopefully this image shows:

I see it now.............Nice...

[jhanic]

Worked for me! Neat!

I think my site went down at some point during the night which might explain it.

[barlow]

I didn't stop at 649 either, currently at 737

Never, ever stop.

Congrats, that is an awesome book!

[barlow]

I think I some how clicked on the wrong post, that was supposed to be a in regaurds to Hyraxia's copy of The Body Snatchers!

Not a book, but certainly my new P&J. On the right is the trophy for winning the 2013 Dt.Org March Madness competition. Also shown are my other trophies won here.

Just got caught up on many pages of this thread. Congratulations, everyone, on some very cool additions to your collections.

Brice, good on you for honoring that old commitment. I still don't own a 1st DMG edition of W&G, so those photos made me a little droolly.

Just for fun, I took apart a Grant first edition of Wizard and Glass, and then rebound it in two volumes as an imitation of the S/L. I learned a lot by doing this, and it's not perfect, but I think the results look pretty darn good:



I haven't had a chance to make a slipcase yet, but it fits pretty nicely in a Talisman slipcase:



Here is a blurry photo that shows the black endpapers, white pseudo-suede binding and decorative headbands I used:

Can we see some shots of the binding? Did you have it done or did you take a crack at it yourself?

Is today 4/1, or 6/1?

[Robert Fulman]

It's not a joke; I said I was going to do it, and I did it. That's how I roll.

[harrison ryan]

Where did you get the dust jackets?

[Robert Fulman]

Grant sells their dust jackets: LINK. The W&G costs $15 for the pair.

I think that is what Victor Frankenstein said too.

[subie09lega]

Thanks for the tip about the dust jackets. I think I could make use of that.

I did the work myself. Here is a better picture of the binding and moire endpapers and decorative headband (which is one of the silliest features ever; it's literally just decorative). Sorry bout the dust:



And here are the bindings au naturale. I went with white because the S/L is white, but I didn't want to imply that I was trying to counterfeit the actual S/L, so I used a faux suede cloth. For the slipcase, I'm going to use a black faux leather, similar to what Grant uses for their multi-volume DT slipcases.

That is really cool!

That's pretty cool. I've been thinking of trying to make some slipcases, but just haven't got around to it.

Slipcases are pretty easy, you should have no problem! I am thinking of giving a traycase a try, should be fun. I think I will try using carpet tape instead of glue an see how it works.

[harrison ryan]

I like it a lot! Do you have any future experiments planned?

[Ari_Racing]

Pretty cool!
