Beautiful piece, Kris! Your art collection is just stunning. The black frame and matting really set it off. Well done!

I love it (and covet it).
Congratulations.
You're one a roll bud. Congratulations.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
*EDIT: I moved this post from the Secret Santa thread where I first posted it as I wanted to give maximum exposure to the generosity of all the denizens of The Tower*
I was not part of the Secret Santa this year (much to my chagrin) but was still the recipient of an anonymous gift this season.
Courtesy of Anonymous Santa, may I present...
This is absolutely amazing and I am humbled at the gesture. You folks, all of you, are just the best. It inspires me to seek out a new collector and do my best to help them build up their sets.
My thanks to AKC for facilitating this... it arrived in perfect condition.
There was on small... requirement... as part of receiving this though. It MAY provide a small hint as to the sender.
And to honor this part I present to you....
Spoiler:
now, to ease the pain of that last bit, I'm going to go look at my new book again.
THANKS TO ALL!!!
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
It is driving me crazy. lol! I think I'm going to stick with just U.S. unless some insane deal on UK. If I bought the UK, then I'd probably buy the US too anyway and that's even more money. I was able to buy a lot more books by not going for the UK versions on the few authors I collect that were from there. Over the weekend I was able to get an amazing 1st/1st 1984 (US) by Orwell and it has a cool story behind it. I'll post it when I get it. $200 only and my bookcase is going to be very happy with new "important" books like Watership Down, Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty Four, etc..1st/1st (US...grrr!) states.
Maybe this will help make up your minds........

I'd love to add an old print of the Hobbit to my collection...
Can't see the pics you posted Bill, cause I'm at work right now. But I'm sure it's just lovely. Dolso makes great cases.
I don't post here (this particular thread) too often, but for my latest P&J I'll make an exception.
The rest I'll add to my collection thread.

Outstanding Siep!
Nice! Les Edwards is awesome. That Hobbit case is also a work of art in and of itself! Wish I had a copy so I could justify getting one
Wanted:

Nice Siep, looking forward to see more!
Man, two lettered editions within one week!
First the PS Thinner (lovelovelove it).
And now, this:
I'm in total awe of what IDW did with this edition.

Thanks, Paul.

The lettered edition is absolutely lovely! Just got my e-mail for the limited edition yesterday. Can't wait!
That's great, Dan. Got mine as well - I mean, the e-mail.
Think we're in for another treat! And the book is still available. Not for too long, I bet.
