Not in my hands yet but a massive thank you to Twistednadine for getting me a Study Dammit poster and sending it to the UK. She also donated the proceeds to the Haven Fund!
Many thanks again in advance.

Through a crazy random happenstance, I was able to purchase a S/L of my favorite Dark Tower book:



(Now I need to convince myself that I should keep it forever and ever...)

Is the deluxe Silmarillion really worth around $600? The entire set cost me many times less that.

I don't know if it's actually worth that but that's what I've found for sale. I tried to get the set but couldn't find an affordable one (that was the first set that's sold out) - and they are 1st printings of that edition. So I collected them individually.

Hey Becca, I don't know if you've seen this, but The Silmarillion deluxe edition is available here for an okayish price: http://www.tolkienbookshelf.com/advS...nd=50&p=2&fp=1

Through a crazy random happenstance, I was able to purchase a S/L of my favorite Dark Tower book:...

Oh, you're gonna have to post more in-depth pics on that one!!!

Okay, but only because you asked so nicely. Here is a picture of the S/L in its slipcase (yes, it's a bit dusty), next to the trade edition. Because the books use the same dust jacket (which doesn't even mention the pricing of the S/L), I took the jackets off for the picture. Behind the books, though, is one of my favorite collectibles: an untrimmed, unfolded Waste Lands dust jacket:



Here are the two books again, on their backs this time. The S/L has some lovely stamping on the front. One thing that surprised me is that the cover is a white cloth; for some reason, I though all the DTs S/Ls were done in a faux leather type cover:



Here is the limitation page for the S/L (#545). It is printed on the front free end paper (on the reverse of the Jake and Oy picture you can see framed above). This makes me wonder if there were any leftover end papers that may not have been signed...



My trade edition is special as well, because it has a nice little signed drawing of the Rose by Ned Dameron in it.:



As I said, the Waste Lands is my favorite Dark Tower book. I don't have an infinite amount of money, so I direct a lot of my collecting $ towards that book. Here are two of my Dark Tower shelves:



Up next is a minor investment in a Waste Lands slipcase from the Collector.

[Roog]

Nice books and shelves!

[Ricky]

It is printed on the front free end paper (on the reverse of the Jake and Oy picture you can see framed above). This makes me wonder if there were any leftover end papers that may not have been signed...

I don't know how many are out there, but I have one. It's signed by Ned, but his signature was messed up somewhere down the line, so it wasn't sent to SK for his signature and inclusion in the book. I have a pic. in my collection thread somewhere if you're interested.

Nice acquisitions all around everyone! AKC...gorgeous Lettered Regulators...I finally acquired my copy about 12-15 months ago. I waited a LONG time but it was worth it.
