    Hi all. My Pride and Joy has arrived. When I started collecting I was fascinated with the Cycle of the Werewolf. I thought it was just amazing... I always wanted the books and then got the matching sets into my head which has kept my getting any copies of it until about 5 months ago when a set presented itself. A lot of money but I sold some things to finance it. When I was told the reality of the amount sets in perfect shape out there and matching.. I had to.. I could not pass. This is set #85 and does have the original Bernie of a wolf!

    What is so cool about this set? Well.... I had to protect it due to the fragile nature of both of them. The DJ to the book and the portfolio itself. I hired a large book maker in the industry that I trusted and knew could make stuff that was out of this world. I had them create this masterpiece. My only things were: I wanted the largest wolf in the world (Canadian Grey Wolf OR Timber Wolf) to be involved and a pure silver bullet. I found a 99.9% silver bullet and had it mounted in the case you see below. The second was the hair from the wolf woven into the fabric somehow on the traycase and somewhere. The case weighs in a near 35lbs. It is as big as a deluxe Knowing Darkness as it has metal going through the case for support. The foil stamping done in silver obviously and a slide out tray case to protect the portfolio. Please enjoy my pictures and this is by far... one of my absolute most precious pieces. May I present.. my custom cased Cycle of the Werewolf Matching Set

I saw the prototype months ago at the Whelan's house and got to hold and feel the weight of this mighty collectible.

    For all those getting one, I hope these are your Pride & Joys....just won't be mine.
    I was 2nd in line for "19" and it is for me. I just could not justify the price for it In CAD funds we were talking somewhere between $4-$5K. I passed on the perfect number... but for the price of a lettered I am A-OK with that. I seen it in person as well.. and it really is damm impressive.
    I was 1st in line for 19 and also could not afford it!

    Kris,

    That COTW is amazing. I've (obviously) never seen anything like it. I'll try to think of some more superlatives, but for now I'll stick with "mind-blowing ".

    Very impressive Kris, top quality production
    "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
