Your New Pride and Joy!

Congratulations, Tippy! I had a chance to buy that thing back when it first came out but just couldn't justify the price. I still can't. But it is BIG!!!

John

Thanks John.

I am happy to say that I bought it below issue price.

I never planned on owning this book...it's expensive and way too big...but I felt I got a fair price on it, and if I change my mind at some point, I could resell and break even I think.

Found a really decent copy of a 1st edition Talisman, now added to my collection....

I too have one. Man, it is a beast! Does your battery still work? Mine does not.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I took the batteriers out of mine just in case of leakage.

Wow. I didn't realize HOW large these are! Yes, I would take the dead batteries out too, if I had one.

This won't mean much to those who aren't soccer fans, but here is my latest:

The S/L Edition of Leading by Sir Alex Ferguson, one of the greatest soccer managers of all time

As a huge soccer fan (it's football...it's played with the foot! ) I can say CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hey all A new piece from Salem's I have acquired. It was the original concept that David Palumbo wanted to do. I LOVE IT and wished he had done it for one of the covers. This is a fav of mine for sure. If anyone is interested I can put them in touch with David. He is a hell of a nice guy and a delight to talk too. All cover art and a couple interiors are gone however there are some fantastic pieces still for sale. They won't be for long either... this guy is a wonderful artist! It is not framed yet and is currently being varnished but I will post pics when I find the right frame..... this piece commands a dark, ominous frame!

Congrats Kris!

Congrats Kris! Fantastic piece.....

I've seen all of the work in anticipation of the release and I can tell you that it is absolutely stunning. To Kris' point, Dave is a super guy and has been wonderful to work with.

Awesome piece Mr. Webster. You art collection is becoming rather substantial.

Whew, NICE piece of art, Kris! Congratulations and make sure you don't drool on it.

Congrats Kris! I made an enquiry about buying the "Bite" painting used for the numbered cover I believe, but it sounds like someone was able to close a deal before I could get serious about it. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the remarques (both Dave Palumbo's AND Glenn Chadbourne's).

[Theli]

Absolutely stunning piece Kris! Congrats on a great purchase!

Very very nice Kris !

Scary nice!

Congrats on that awesome piece, Kris! I love picking up original artwork when I can find it.

Not a pride and joy yet, but a project to finish.... Just picked up a near complete set (35 of 37) of the Stephen King library red (faux) leather editions. Now I have to hunt down the other two, and replace 3-4 that are in less than fine condition.

On writing proved extremely difficult for me to find! But I finally finished my set last month! What two are you missing?

I'm missing The Dark Half and Eyes of the Dragon. I'll also need to replace Nightmares and Dreamscapes (small rip to the spine) and Insomnia (massive water damage). All of the rest are NF or better, and all of the newer editions have the full numberline. I found them for a pretty good price, but I had to drive two hours to pick them up.

The Stand Uncut and It have some light creasing to the spine, but I can live with that.

Thanks all for the kind words. I am VERY proud of this Salems piece for sure... cheers all!

Just a small addition of one of those core items of any Dark Tower collection. For $20 I picked up the Ned Dameron Waste Lands. A bit of damage on the envelope that wasn't disclosed in a very forthright way by the seller and the USPS also put their own "stamp" on the package in spite of careful packaging, but the prints are all fine. For $20, I'm not going to worry too much about it.

If you care to see a bunch of dark, reference-only pics of prints that are reproduced much better elsewhere, then HERE THEY ARE.

Grant still sells them. $20 for the trade and $30 for the deluxe.
