    Wow Tim, amazing. As I understand it, that’s the most difficult King collectible to get. Happy for you and your friend.

    Superb acquistions, Tim and Alec! They also show the location of the fold/crease quite clearly (which was discussed recently in another thread).

    Thanks David. We will see what you have next . I must say thanks again to the person who gifted these to me. I am not in a position to do that yet, but to have two people do that is very nice.

    I haven't posted a P&J before because, while I've been fortunate to snag some amazing books since I joined the site, I keep telling myself that I am going to start a collection thread and put everything in there. But I love reading this thread and sharing in people's joy for their new books! And since I still haven't put together a collection thread (yet), I wanted to share this new acquisition, because it has been literally more than a year in the making - it first came to my attention last summer and arrived only a few weeks ago.

    I present: a frankendeluxe Centipede Press Salem's Lot.

    Like most people here, I am in awe and envy of the Roman Numeral Salem's Lot, and also like most people here, I will probably never be able to own one. Not only are they among the most expensive King-related items, but I believe that most of them are in the hands of collectors who truly love and appreciate them, and are unlikely to let them go. So when the opportunity arose last summer for me to acquire something very similar, I jumped on it.

    I know that this book has several different states, and I don't consider this an alternative state. I consider this more akin to the version that Betts did back in the day - a custom binding of an unbound book block - with the difference being that this was overseen by Jerad at Centipede Press and uses materials that are the same or similar to the materials used in the actual deluxe state.

    Here is a shot of the traycase. You can't tell very well in the photo but the graphic on the side is an embedded acrylic plate:




    Back view of the traycase and the red silk:




    Front of the book and the folder with the Uelsmann prints:




    Closer shot of the front of the book. It's bound in black goatskin and also has an embedded acrylic plate on the front board:




    Side view of the front board and spine. There's also a dark red topstain that you can't see:




    Endpapers. Should they be marbled, or have an Uelsmann print? How about both!




    Lastly, this book does not have a limitation page because it is not a true S/L. But it does have a signature



    Higher quality versions of all of these images are in my gallery on this site.

    Even without the King signature, the production is incredible. Congratulations to you and everyone involved who imagined and then created this work of art. Needless to say, but I am incredibly envious.

    Default Your New Pride and Joy!

    I had just recently asked a few collectors what the big deal is with this book and how it could possibly be comparable to The Stand coffin edition. Generally speaking the answers were that I’ll just have to see it in person, but it’s special and deserving of such high praise. I have to say, after seeing these pictures you’ve taken, I think I get it now.

    Thank you for the encouraging reactions! It's nice to share with a crowd that appreciates it. Goodness knows that most people don't.

    I'm glad that the pictures do it some justice. I'm sure that some other posters here could take photographs that do an even better job (I'm looking at you, Yigor)!

    There are definitely some aspects that are harder to appreciate without seeing it in person. It's a big book, with heavy paper, so it's really a massive tome. Also, the goatskin feels amazing - it's actually soft! When compared to the standard leather-bound (or, god forbid, bonded leather) book, it really stands out.

    Below are a few more pictures.

    The topstain:




    A close-up of the cover, trying to show the acrylic plate vs. a standard inset:




    A 3/4 view of the plate on the spine of the traycase, in which you can better see that it's a plate:
