The neat thing is that getting it inspired me to talk some people into reading the book that had never heard of it. Also Flowers for Algernon. Short but powerful read imho. I told my friend they would be a better person for reading it (Flowers for Algernon). We'll see.... haha!
Curt, I agree completely about Flowers for Algernon. I read it first as a short story from its first publication (I think it was in F&SF) and then as the novel. A fantastic, moving read!

Flowers for Algernon was assigned reading when I was in school (a few decades ago). It's one of those books that sticks with you for a long time. A great read.
1st Edition U.K. paperback with movie tie-in sticker.
Unsigned, Bruce??? LOL LOL Very nice item!!!

lol...I forgot I had it until I saw the cool picture book posted. I'm psyched about the set though with hb/pb/proof/ticket to premiere. All bought separately but forever together now.
I need to get a copy of the picture book now probably...sigh

LOL You may be fine. I think others have pissed him off, but "The Bruce" is not someone you wish to trifle with!!! He has a truly amazing and detailed collection and loves, rightly so, to show it off!!! LOL

Cool!! Really!! I just wouldn't poke the bear is all I'm saying. I have never seen a collection of universal ephemera like, Bruce has in his possession. He can crush most anyone!! And totally amaze and impress!!!
Then again, what the hell do I know, right?

Looks to me it opened in the U.K. in OCTOBER.
U.S.A. Premiere also in N.Y. on the 3rd.
The tickets would make GREAT BOOKMARKS.

DOH!!! GRRR!! It references the show that i have tickets for at least. I don't have any more Watership Down stuff
....let me think....Needful Things and Stephen King....
Okay...give me a minute and I will present to you a one of a kind Needful Things and Stephen King item......
One of my most prized King collectibles and the only one in the world.....
Head over to your bookshelves and grab your Needful Things 1st/1st and take off the shiny DJ and get to the meat and bones....the book itself.
Look at that cover and know that this little beauty kissed it long before you ever got your hands on it...every single 1st/1st out there. ..... MUAH!
Made out of Copper b/c of the size of print runs and the strength of Copper. Now they use Magnesium. Needful Things was a large run but still small enough to use just 1 of these for every 1st/1st. Sorry about the fingerprints on the glass...
That is REALLY cool, Curt. It took me a moment to realize what I was seeing, but when I did I was pretty taken aback.
WANTED
US 1st Printings. I have THESE
#92 IT Portfolio (or the #95 IT to swap for the #92 that I have)
Any #95 SK-related Cemetery Dance Edition
Any #7 PS Publishing Edition
Sleeping Beauties: Signed Tour version.
That is certainly a unique item. Congratulations. I'm actually reading that book right now.
Your New Pride and Joy!
...and of course Bruce, you never cease to amaze with what you have in your collection. We need to revive the Beat Bruce thread.
Very cool item!

Here is an example of a book that had a HUGE print run, so two were needed. 1 set is framed and the other set I have loose (and so I didn't put this post in the One of a Kind Forum being there are two in existence).
