What are the dimensions of this edition? It looks humongous...

Book Porn. Love it

...So I basically had two choices: I could buy it or I could always regret not buying it.
As you can see, I went with the first option, so I am delighted to share with you 1 of the 4 unnumbered deluxe copies of the Centipede Press Salem’s Lot.

Congratulations and well played.

These Salem’s Lots are beyond amazing

Thank you so much, everyone!

Haha, it's funny you say that, because I had planned on measuring it while I was photographing it, but I didn't remember forgetting to actually do that until reading your post. I'll measure it in the near future and update my posting with that info.

Keeping on theme with George’s post, here’s something you don’t see everyday. Forgive me for the artsy photos, but since I never dreamed I’d be taking pictures of my own copy of this book, I couldn’t resist going a little overboard.

Here’s the story, I happened to take a tired glance at eBay around 3 AM my time, just before closing my eyes and going to sleep, and saw this beauty freshly listed by a seller in Australia. I knew if I slept on it the book would be gone by the time I woke up, or somebody would have bid on it (it was an auction with BIN option), so I had to make a quick decision. While I was tempted to bid myself, I had no doubt in my mind that an auction would end up going over the BIN price. Or just as bad, an eager buyer would contact the seller and try to make a deal outside of eBay, and the seller might cancel any bids and end the listing. So I basically had two choices: I could buy it or I could always regret not buying it.

The page block is truly amazing






I couldn’t help taking this picture!

firemonkey66 -- what a nice story and what beautiful pictures! You did make a great deal financially but that book will pay for itself over time. Congratulations on a wonderful acquisition!

As a bibliophile whose bibliolust dwarfs his budget; I thank you for these awesome photos.

Outstanding! I saw this on eBay, and didn't really know what it was. Thanks for posting pics of it, and for educating me. It looks like an amazing treasure.

A couple of P&Js arrived today. First is sorta King related. Ever since I saw a few members post this book I wanted one and was finally able to get one. Such a wonderful book.







This next man's work I've enjoyed almost as long as King's.

I don’t have much left to get but after securing Carrie lettered.... I just needed this one to get all the editions. Meaning every number, odd ball signed item (unnumbered but he signed say 300 bookplates.. along these lines) and every lettered where he didn’t sign any other edition. I still need a few lettereds but they are ones that look the same as the numerical ones. It’s a pretty big feat for me I think. Thanks to everyone here that helped me along the way. Your good people’s And I have been honoured to know you and call you my friends. Some don’t like me, you know who you are and so do I..... but that’s ok, you can’t be liked by everyone. At least we share the same love... and that’s Mr. King and his work. Thanks again everyone. We be well met

You have been looking for that one for a long time haven't you Kris. A big congrats and good luck if you continue on getting those other lettered ones. To have every numbered and lettered is quite the feat. So again, congrats.
