I'm glad you won that one. I was watching it, crossing my fingers for you, but then couldn't check with the new privacy stuff on eBay!

Thanks, Eric. Looks like I got a pretty good deal, too! I never realized how few copies had been done.

Matt-
I am so happy that you are pleased, and it was great fun to do this for you. And, your wife is adorable. Kinda hard to resist a request from Dora.
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.

Matt, congratulations on your 1st edition W&G! And a bonus ARC? Sweet! Love the story behind it all too.
John, congrats. Sounds like a nice acquisition. Whatever the exact print run, it's small.

Such a cool story!!!!Happy to
My wife decided this year she would try and find me a collectible King book without having any idea what I wanted. Assuming anything Dark Tower would work, she contacted David. They have met on two occasions and she just loves him.
She had heard me say one time that I would love to own all the first editions of The Dark Tower books so that must have been where she started.
You should have seen my face when I opened the box and looked up at her. She giggled and laughed, rolling this way and that. I had no idea she would go to that kind of trouble to make this happen for me. Had it sent to the bank, her and her co-workers puzzled over what was so cool about it for a while.
I know both of these individuals (Dora and David) are among the highest caliber humans I have ever met but I was still taken back by the generosity and work on my behalf. Just the best Christmas ever on every level. I showed my grand daughter the book knowing someday maybe I could give it to her.
David also through in this amazing extra which I have seen before. It has been donated for giveaway two years running and I always wanted one. So when I saw it, that was when the maniacal laughter started.

Today I received my copy of Gunpowder By Joe Hill #139, I really love Vincent Chongs art.
Also a copy of Gunslinger Born Book Market Variant, thanks to Pam for alerting me to something I had missed
Glad to hear that GUNPOWDER arrived, Dave.
If you hear of another copy of that BMV, please let me know as I guess I need it too... now that I know it exists.

Got the BMV, too - thanks, Pam!!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Thanks, Pam, I'll go look. I'm just looking for a nice copy, I don't necessarily need CGC-graded. Doesn't CGC = $$$$$?...Patrick - I see a couple at eBay right now. Including two CGC graded 9.8.

Congrats Gretchen! Well done.
Patrick - Yup. CGC for the BMV costs dough for sure. Usually more than a hundred for a 9.8, not uncommon at all. The cheapest I've seen them is for about $70.00.
ETA: Right now, the hardest thing to find CGC'd at 9.8 is the 3rd Printing of Gunslinger Born 1 - this cover :
Or at least it seems to to me!

SWEET! I have in hand a Publisher's Copy of LSOE (AE edition), a gift last night from Michael and Audrey! NOT remarqued! Pics tomorrow and an update on what he remembers about the remarques he did...about 50 in all.
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.
Very cool of them Dave. Very cool indeed.

Excellent! I guess you were able to work in a visit with them then over your vacation. Any updates on if they plan to offer any copies of the book via their webstore?
