Your New Pride and Joy!

I guess I have been lucky with my Stand S\L. I have it standing upright and the cover still stays on the box. But it would be cool to show off the book itself. It's such a great looking book.

I tested standing it up and it was too scary... stays on but way too paranoid it would fall off on its own, onto my floor and crack.

For now, I have it in the box resting flat on my shelf on top of a cardboard tray that's wrapped in microfiber cloth. & another cloth I can drape around it. It'll do for now.

After Yegor's (ym2000) pics we should just all stop posting fucking pics on here! Too good! Ha! But wanted to share:

Very COOL pickup kingfan2323! Congrats on your Cemetery Dance "It" as well!

[DoctorZaius]

Love it! I have long coveted that Harris signature. Very jealous.

[kingfan2323]

Thanks, guys. Jealousy is a common emotion in here. Love that we all share.

Hot Damn! That's a great addition - one of the nicest editions SubPress has done. Big Congratulations, kingfan2323!

I agree with HBJ, this is definitely one of their best - congrats!!

And the pics don't do it justice. Not that your pics aren't good (we all know we're fighting for second after Yegor), but just that holding this one in your hands really helps. The leather is nice and soft, the cloth is smooth, the endpapers are thick from the paint (and an interesting design!).

Again - big congrats on this one - it's a fine, fine book!

Sounds like the description of someone that owns one. If so, congrats to you! But you are right. No pictures could do it justice. Sucker is heavy too!

It was one of the best buys of my life: a couple of months after the release, Sub Press had a 50% off sale on all in-print books and there was one copy left!

Wow! $750! Damn.

I would have killed for one at that price. Can't believe that I missed that sale!

In honour of IT this coming week, I thought I’d share my IT collection. have every single thing in IT that’s book related (don’t care about silly movie promo stuff or Funko). The only thing I am missing is a fine signed 1st US. I have a fine UK which is a beauty but need that US. I’m pretty proud of it. I worked very hard and a LOT of hours to get those 25 1st’s. They are near fine or better. I bet you (RF knows) I have bought over 200 to get them. They would come in and many many times I would be disappointed. I ONLY have one flawless copy. Think of that... a pristine VERY FINE copy. I only ever got one. In all that searching. There was always a mark or blemish. This was like the day it was made. Anyways, thought I would share. If you have any questions feel free to ask cheers guys

PS: that is my little buddy: Indiana Jones. He is a Frenchie and his nick name is: Indy. I just love that little guy

I gotta ask: why do you need twenty-five copies of the same book? I understand seeking out the very best, most pristine one you can find, but why keep the rest?

(I mean no offence, of course, but this is a collector's quirk that many here seem to have, but I just don't get it.)

Did I just read that you bought 200 1st IT editions in order to get 25 fine books?
May I ask if you will "just" collect them as is, or plan on doing some rebound editions or something?

No, I just kept trying to get a good one. I look at the pics... buy it.. it comes.. and is crap. So I would re sell it, trash it or give it away. Over time I had amassed a few good ones. So kept after them. Just something fun to do. Looks cool. However the artwork's from IT shown (original) I find more interesting than the 25 IT's, HAHA

Supercool that Bob Giusti redid the cover painting for you, Kris, just supercool.

[Garrell]

IT is awesome stuff!!!

He wasn’t sure where the original went and thought it was lost. He decided to re create it for me! I was honoured!

Wow Kris. You probably have one of the most complete IT collections out there. If I had more space, I know I would probably have dupes of a lot of books. But your collection is just stellar, even beyond the IT section.

[Fsmdr]

That's some serious IT obsession, Kris! It's my favorite novel as well. Just beautiful!

[The Library Policeman]

Haha that’s awesome, Kris. Love it (them)

[Ricky]

Kris, your story with the disappointing first edition copies of It is similar to my own. I would buy one, get disappointed, and return it. Then the cycle repeated (just not every 27 years). I still don't have a truly fine copy. One day, when I am rich, I will have one, along with CD's limited edition and the art portfolio.
