Your New Pride and Joy!

Very Cool Shannon,
Nice addition.

[carlosdetweiller]

Nice new artwork, Shannon. Congratulations!

[The Library Policeman]

Great artwork. Congrats!

[Shannon]

Thanks guys. I'll take pics when they get here. And then I'll take pics again in twelve years when I finally get them framed.

Ugh! I still have "Rainy Season" and "Georgie Chases His Boat" unframed. So sad. I think I know what I'll be asking Santa for this year!

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations all!

Shannon, may I ask if those yearbooks have any King stuff inside (writting, pic, whatever)?

And how much did they go for?

Thanks!

[Shannon]

Here ya' go Ari:

1972 Hampden Maine Yearbook Stephen King 1st year Teacher reading comic book

and

1973 Hampden Maine Yearbook Stephen King 2nd year Teacher Left Spring 73 Carrie

I'm very happy that I was able to buy them.

[Ari_Racing]

THANKS!

And both are awesome items! Congratulations again!

I really don't mean to rain on your parade, Shannon. However, is $113 a good price for a freaking yearbook with him in it? No Sig or anything? Maybe it's just me, but that seems a little over the top. Then again I am a frugal German-type, so if you're happy than darn garn it I am happy for you!!!!! On second thought, I guess they're cool!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!

Edit: BTW the new Art is AWESOME!!!!

[Shannon]

I don't know if it was a good price. I was willing to go $150 each in the financial state I am in now. If I were in full-blown Crazy Collector Shannon mode, I would have gone higher.

I wanted them, I bought them. I'm happy.

Then that's all that really matters. Congrats!!!!!

I would not buy the yearbooks for myself-that kind of ephemera doesn't appeal to me, but the price seems fine. It's not easy to dig one of those copies up.

I got my copy of the other state of the UK 11.22.63 proof today. This one doesn't have the "Embargoed" statement on the pages. The front and back covers are identical, but the numbering scheme is very different.

Here is the page without the "Embargoed" statement:



And here's the page with it:



I also got the publisher's letter with this new copy, but I'm not posting it until well after the book is published. I don't want to take any possibility of disclosing my contact.

Sorry to be nosy but what was the extra stuff from George Beahm with the Phantasmagorias?
Thanks

Jon

[Shannon]

I wanna be nosy too. Share share! Some nice stuff you got there, especially the first two items

[Brice]

Oh, i don't really know what they're called. One item appears to be a preview or update to the stephen king companion and another is just called collecting the works of stephen king (both are photocopies) and then there is a booklet with a bunch of kenny ray linkhauser art and other stuff. I'm not really sure what it's called. I was also mistaken. I am missing I believe two of the phantasmagorias.

... And yes, Shannon I was very happy to give them a new home.
