I just purchased this sketch in a DT VII Artist's edition from super-collector Dave Hutcheson.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Excellent. Still cornering the market I see.
That is beautiful, Wiz!

Roland would have understood.
I noticed you had placed a bid on that one.
Glad you got it.
I went to the Best American Short Stories event in Mass. tonight and to King's credit he sat and signed what had to have been 500+ books, probably more...he zoomed through the line, too...I was about 2/3 toward the back, and I think it took maybe 90 minutes...
There was a group of people trying to get him to sign other books, but they weren't having it...I did ask him to personalize my copy, but he wasn't having that, either! Haha...Totally understandable of course. I would have been surprised if he had (but I figured it's a legit request, since at least he knows I wouldn't be selling it...)
Three other writers were there too, and I got them to sign a copy as well.
A couple people in line were complaining, but I think they did a really good job considering the crowd....he signed for everybody. Personalized or not, it's the first King book I got that I actually witnessed him signing...
You lucky you.
Roland would have understood.
Congrats John. I think you once said you have over 300 books (let alone other stuff). How many of those 300 are KIng related? How many are King proofs (I understand there are variations for each title).
I ask because I have 300+ books, but I collect first editions, S/Ls and proofs, so it would be mind boggling to me if your 300 are nearly all King-related proofs!!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Congratulations to the both of you.
Congratulations! I hope someday I can attend a signing

That's awesome Rahfa. Congratulations.
Congratulations Rahfa!!
Congratulations Rahfa! Did you take pics?
John
Do you have any idea of wich King related ARC:s you are missing.
Or do you just "surf" around and found them at random?
John, congrats on adding another proof to your collection.
Rahfa, great story, glad you got to meet King, even if only briefly.

I think "briefly" overstates it...haha...no pix, though. It would have been of nothing more than his head, looking down at the book...he did look up when I asked if he would sign my name and said "pardon?" and I repeated myself and he said 'sorry, I can't.' And I said "no problem" and moved right along...
The impressive thing was the speed the line went, and that his signature was pretty good...
The other cool thing was I ended up going by myself because of a late cancellation by a friend but they had presigned copies of the book available as well, so even though I could only get one book physically signed, both books were actually already signed. So, one book is actually signed twice.
