- the VERY FIRST FRENCH PUBLICATION, an abridged version of CARRIE, couple of months prior to the publication

- UK Doctor Sleep proof signed

4 times in a week!? That's pretty incredible!

Great signatures on awesome items! Congrats!

Got around to opening my NOS4A2 today.

I ordered one of the Collectors slipcases now sometime next year I am going to try my best to get a copy of this beautiful book. Half way there so to speak.

[Jimimck]

I thought Tomas said he wouldn't be dong a slipcase now SP is?

[Joe315]

Yes, Tomas is not doing a slipcase because SP decided to do one of their own. Maybe he mistyped.

OK, here we go........

I recently acquired a complete, matching #'d set of the DT Series (#415) with a FULL PAGE COLOR REMARQUE in the Gunslinger.

To my knowledge, this is only 1 of 5 remarqued S/L 'Slingers done by Michael Whelan with the other 4 being owned by David @ Betts.

While the remarqued S/L may not appeal to all, I consider this to be the new "holy grail" of my collection. Thanks for looking! AKC

Not to be contrary, but is that a good idea? I'm not sure how/if a remarque enhances the value of an s/l edition as unique as that one. It's almost rare enough as it is?

I dunno...I'm not even sure I believe that myself. But I guess I feel like some editions are better left as-is. I'd feel the same about having SK sign it a second time.

On the other hand, as strictly a personally-owned book, it's clearly a great addition. From that respect it's hard to top.

(my 2000th post!)

[Joe315]

IMHO, I think value is added because whelan is the artist of the book. If someone else remarqued it, than I don't think anything would be added to the value money wise. Sentimental value might increase, however.

[Robert Fulman]

If someone said to me "here is $5,000, you must buy a Gunslinger S/L with it," then that is the one I would want to buy. Therefore I would say that the Remarque enhances the value.

[Scoogs]

Awesome addition AKC!

[Ben Eads]

Awesome catch, AKC! Beautiful books, indeed!
