    My next new pride and joy is literally sitting at a depot 20 miles away from me.

    I'd like to be patient but it is the holy grail, S/L The Stand.

    Can't wait to get it tomorrow. I could have collected it tonight, but my other new pride and joy needed feeding and didn't have the time to go collect it.

    Ah well, tomorrow will be special. Register my baby as officially born, get new windows in the house, and take delivery of this wonderful book. Exciting day.

    I'm honoured obtaining this book at this point in time, given the passing of Bernie. I look forward seeing the artwork first hand.

    There has been some amazing pride and joys this week. Here's mine.

    Book is immaculate, but the box needs a little work.

    The bottom panel is pretty marked where it has been stood, and the joint in the bottom right corner isn't as flush as the other corners, as if it has been removed once before, and didn't quite fit together. I've not seen one before so not sure how flush they normally are.

    Also the rim the lid sits on is pretty fragile and split in a couple of places and needs strengthening somehow.

    Nothing that can't be addressed by an expert.

    Your post on restoring the box is excellent and shows very similar areas that needs work. Only for the skilled I think.

    Ps and yes, one very happy cat indeed. Waited a long time for this one.

    Hi Shaq, I had some similar issues with my Stand Limited box. I found a very nice gentleman who specializes in antique box restoration and TBH this type of box is very simple work for him. The website is http://www.jackdawboxes.co.uk/ and you can email Adrian on info@jackdawboxes.co.uk. If you mention "Simon" and that I popped in on the way to Cornwall with a similar Stephen King Box I'm sure he will remember!
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    By the way, your avatar photo is incredible, if thats as it was taken and not had some photoshopping of the bird in the foreground, it's a fantastic image. Love to hear the story behind it.

    Cheers. Not my photography I'm afraid. It probably is photoshopped but makes me laugh the longer I look at it.

    It was some random site that does stuff like top ten photo bombs and silly stuff like that.

    It does make me laugh.

    Ps checked the location of the box restorer, would be perfect if heading over to Glastonbury this year, but missing it due to new born. Will see what he says and send it over.

    With regard to RF's spoiler comment, I think posting images of any blank copies is a good way to ensure such unscrupulous changes don't happen. It might be worth starting a separate thread so any contentious PC or numbered copies can be compared in the future.

    Still great acquisitions and yet another flavour to a collection!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone! A complete set of blank copies was one of my first collecting goals and it's exciting to get so close. I concur with the sentiment that having blank copies floating around has the potential to lead to "fake" numbers. That being said, I swear on my collection to leave them blank Having those blank copies in the hands of trusted members / collectors and tracking where numbers are (e.g., the front page of the DT Same-Number thread) is probably the best way to prevent that type of forgery from occurring.

    Very cool stuff. Can I ask why you wanted them blank?
