"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

It looks like a gigant book but it's not a book. It's for display purposes.

Congratulations on finally landing that Maximum Overdrive, Ari and really cool of Jerome to do that for you.
Some recent stuff:
Rare unsigned (by Beryl Evans actress) edition. Possibly even more rare as it has Ned Dameron original art and signature:
Cool! I'm still after one of those shirts at a good price.

Very nice copy of Charlie the Choo Choo, Jerome!
I am in touch with SONY reps.
The marketing manager dealing with that title forwarded my details to the french reps (and therefore I should not contact the international manager directly), who have never even heard of that book. I guess that i'll never get lucky enough to get one as a freebie :p

My second favorite author is Bernard Werber, a french author that is literally considered as a superstar in Korea & Russia (only his first book has been translated in english, as EMPIRE OF THE ANTS. As a side note, while King was in front of 2500 people in France, the same evening he was in front of 10,000 in korea).
I personally know that author since about a decade, after meeting him in a signing and presenting my research about his work, which I am trying to turn into a book.
I know that he regularly invite some friends over on sundays for talking and playing a game (a werewolf card game, where villagers are trying to find out who are the werewolves decimating the village : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_We...Millers_Hollow ) and today was the first time I was actually invited to take part of it.
Before other people arrived, he gave me a copy of his next book to be published (in a month), as a proof copy (which he signed) & a final copy.
His next book is titled DEMAIN LES CHATS (lit : TOMORROW THE CATS)
At the end of the afternoon, we chatted a bit more, and he invited me to his other flat to get a couple of more proofs he forgot to give me and chatted some more (including about King).
He asked me if I needed any other books, and I replied/made the mistake of mentionning I started collecting EMPIRE OF THE ANTS in foreign languages. At that point, he started handing me over many books in different languages (he was also pleased to clear out a bit of space).
So instead of leaving with only 3-4 books, I actually left with an entire boxful off books and 4-5 extra proofs I already had!
Oh, and I guess that my foreign collection will not solely focus on 1 specific book anymore.
I actually need to sort that box I had to carry for 1h in the metro. I didn't take a good picture, but i'd say there is about 20 books...
On top of that, he also handed me that one :
A printed version of his previous book, with his working title (as printed : the kingdom of dreams, which would become "THE SIXTH SLEEP")... so a version of a book BEFORE even the proof! Told me that he probably got it back from the person to whom he dedicated the book.
So, for me, this one is quite a gem!

Congrats Jeremy, that's something really special!
Always cool when an artist sends you a piece, and also does a cool little drawing on the envelope:
Alex can draw, that's for sure.
