Your New Pride and Joy!

[The Library Policeman]

Just received this acrylic painting from Bernie Wrightson. It was one of the six or so paintings he did for the CD limited edition of From A Buick 8. Image size is about 12" x 8.5" and it depicts the alien dissection. It certainly won't appeal to everyone but I always thought it was one of the strongest images he did for that particular book. When the book was published I was lucky enough to be able to buy two of the other paintings but did not get this one. I was always on the fence about spending the asking price for this one but I took advantage of a "post-holiday" 50% off sale on the website and finally got this one. Really happy to have it but I'm sure my wife will hate it. (I haven't shown it to her yet and might not till I get it back from the framers.)

Love that, Bob. Congratulations.

New Gunslinger added to the collection: a Spanish 1990 hardcover from Circulo de Lectores.

Don't want to say too much, however; it'll be worth keeping an eye on PS over the next two weeks

You're getting to as big a tease as, Jerome!!!

Got this in today. Many thanks to surly for letting us know it was available. A copy of Moth published in 1970 in Orono, ME while King was in college. This one is signed inside the front cover by the contributors (minus one), the editors and the cover artist. Not sure when it was signed but almost surely it was in 1970 when the book was published. Tabitha is still a Spruce and she and King married in January 1971. Other notable is Michael Alpert (later of Philtrum Press). I've got that letter that King wrote and signed to Forry Ackerman when he was 14 but I think this is the earliest signature I have of King signing a publication with his writing in it. Really glad to be putting this one in my collection.

Extremely awesome, Bob!!!!

Seriously. I don't even have anything of my own from that age.

Congrats, Bob.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats on this. Love that it's signed Steve and that it looks to be in awesome shape. Well done.

Still picking up those 'easy to find' collectibles eh Bob?

Wow. just frickin wow.

A few new ones that have trickled in

Starting with a CD Collectors Club selection and what is, I imagine, Rick Hautala's final S/L. It's also a very good story.



Another CD Collectors Club selection from a very talented author and fellow board member. Also, it seems as Grant has released Glenn Chadbourne long enough to jot his name in the front of this one. Thanks, Grant!



Picked this up today, haven't watched it yet.


My favorite non-King author to collect



And finally my used bookstore finds. Not best condition, but at 50 cents apiece I was bought them anyway.

Bob, knowing your collection, the new items you post shouldn't really surprise me - but they still do! That is amazing!

Simply amazing Bob - certainly one of the rare rarities no doubt !!!!

Congratulations Bob, that is (once again), a truly amazing and unique item!

That is a great addition Bob.

I've seen a picture of it before. Did it belong to someone on here?

Thanks for all the nice comments. No, I don't think it belonged to anyone here. surly posted about it's availability a short while ago. I asked for the seller's contact info and he sent it to me. It was Bill Lippincott who ran a used bookstore in downtown Bangor for many years but is now retired. He has bought and sold a lot of King stuff over the years being right in King's hometown and close to the college King attended. He said he bought it quite a while ago and recently found it going through stacks of stuff. When surly made his post I jumped all over it.

[Rachel Readman]

Never cease to amaze, Bob. Congratulations a wonderful piece to have in your collection.

I thought I had seen it before, but I have now found the picture I was refering too. It is a totally different edition, which has much the same signatures...

What different edition is it? And is it owned by someone here?

[Ben Eads]

I've been gone far too long. The flu then a sinus infection. Thank Ka that's over.

Awesome new finds everyone! Love that copy of Moth!
