Probably, but I don't expect the movie in cinema very soon
Thanks, I did not know there was a date already.
Nothing 'fancy' but I have just recieved a finished UK copy of END OF WATCH.
Cannot wait to dig into it

very cool Jay! I can't read the tiny pic, but from what you said it sounds very cool!
Very nice, Jay. Congrats. A keepsake for sure.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Congratulations!
I've just received the following:
Got a good price for Dan Simmon's books, the Signatures book and One for the road. But the best was the calendar. That was an item I thought it'd be impossible to get. It includes King's film selections for october, 2003.

Is Signatures in bad shape or is that a trick of the photo?

It's the photo. It's in great shape.

That is a nice item, Ari. Original nonfiction by King and (to my knowledge) available nowhere else. When I saw your picture I knew I had one but I couldn't find it where I thought it should be. I looked for about 30 minutes and was starting to panic when I found it misfiled by about four years in the nonfiction boxes.
The Jacob Burns Center showed Cujo on 10/30/03 and afterword there was a "party" which included "a very special treat to commemorate the evening." The "party" (as I understand it) was King discussing horror films with a critic from the NY Times. Tickets were $90 for members and $110 for nonmembers. I'm pretty sure the "special treat" was a signed copy of The Wolves of the Calla. However, in a public relations nightmare and a day that will live in infamy among Stephen King fans, Scribner sent second printings of the book. Most probably didn't even notice that they weren't getting first editions but the King community sure did and there was a lot of howling as you might imagine.
I'm not sure of how this went down but apparently you could buy a ticket and have the book sent to you if you were unable to be there in person. My records show I paid $125 and have a signed copy of the book (second printing of course), an unused ticket to the Cujo screening and, as a bonus I guess, the Jacob Burns Center calendar for October 2003 with the King writing.
Thanks, Ari, for sending me on a trip down memory lane.
And checking my notes further, the official release date for The Wolves of the Calla was 11/4/03. So the event at the Jacob Burns Center was 5 days prior to the official release. Which makes the sending of second printing books even more baffling.
Thank you for your comments but mostly for your story. I know I repeat this all the time but your stories are simply a delight to read and I can never have enough.
How do you file your non-fiction pieces? I don't have nearly as many as you and for me it's impossible!

I file them in magazine boxes like this one. I think I bought these from Demco and they are used mostly in libraries. Usually each item is put in a magazine poly-bag with a backing board and a small sticker with the title and date is stuck on the front of the bag. I then file them chronologically. I have separate boxes for fiction, nonfiction and interviews. It looks like this (i.e. very low tech).
The blue boxes have the nonfiction. The white boxes contain magazines or periodicals with interviews and articles about Stephen King. The pink boxes contain fiction.
Some items are too big for the boxes, like newspapers and newspaper supplements (NY Times Book Reviews, etc.). I have a few large poly bags that I put several items in each one. Stickers are on the front of the poly bag to tell me what items are in each bag. In case you think the nonfiction section looks a little sparse all of the Entertainment Weekly magazines are in a separate magazine box which is completely full.
What's in those three bound volumes to the right of the F&SF mags?
Wow, great item Ari, great story Bob. "Non fiction section" - just awesome.
