Now, our flat has a corner where I could literally put more of those shelves if needed, although need to be careful with the sunlight. Plus we also have a big garage literally below our flat.

We wanted to get custom fitted bookshelves but would not financially be able to do that, so I just come back from a shop were I bought 4 more bookshelves that are classier & bigger. I'll start building them next weekend, but it's good to feel like settling more!
I'll have those bookshelves in the leaving room with my most important books. And the current cheap bookshelves will go down the garage for cheap books such as pocket books and other storage.

EXCITED at the idea of getting my books out of the boxes they've been in for the past 6 months! I will also have more space for books : in the past I did limit my books purchase because I literally had no more space. The books were ridiculously starting to piling each other on top of the bookshelves !

Congratulations!

It might look something like this:

**wizardsrainbow** · 09-07-2015 08:03 AM

Ok, am going to load some pictures of my Tom Canty stuff ++++ A PREVIEW OF A NEW BOOK THAT YOU LIKELY HAVE NOT SEEN YET!! Stay tuned...Happy Labor Day to all you domesticated Americans.

**zelig** · 09-07-2015 08:11 AM

Congrats George. Good to see it arrived safe and you have one of the missing pieces after a long wait.

**wizardsrainbow** · 09-07-2015 08:15 AM

This first pic is from LSOE S/L....Tom was given multiple copies and intended to Remarque them all and give to people close to him...he only did 6... letters A-F, this is Canty's Letter F:

This is the Remarque Tom did in the S/L LSOE:

Here is a picture of the inscribed LSOE artist edition King did for Tom +++ a note that Grant Books left in the book for Steve when he signed....Tom got a real "kick" out of this note which was supposed to be removed before he received the book....oops!

And here is the inscribed WTTKH AE to Tom, dated 2 weeks BEFORE publication.

I have to upload pics of the NEW BOOK and will post them shortly.

Fantastic David! Some really nice one of a kind items there. And just when I thought your DT collection couldn't get any better. Congratulations!

**wizardsrainbow** · 09-07-2015 08:31 AM

Here is a NEW BOOK about Stephen King I believe to be published on October 6th! It is an updated Stephen King Companion authored by George Beahm and Michael Whelan. This is a very early proof copy I got back in July (fraught with many errors) an separate Michael Whelan portfolio (which I am told will be incorporated into the book).

What makes this book special to me is that I AM IN IT!! George/Michael used my Father Callahan image (done by Michael) in the book and there is a separate interview with me that is near the end of the book! My 15 minutes of fame....I am in a book about Stephen King and my Callahan image will be there as well. Here are some pictures....

I will be getting 30 copies that George has promised to "make special" in some way...I will be posting images and taking pre-orders at Betts for this book soon. Retail price is going to be about $25 and I would be grateful if you might order a copy through me rather than buy it on Amazon or somewhere like that. It won't BREAK your bank.

**Dan** · 09-07-2015 08:34 AM

That's fantastic, David. I will be ordering from you.

**zelig** · 09-07-2015 08:37 AM

I will order one too. Would be great if you would sign on the page of your interview. And congrats on being in the book!

**jhanic** · 09-07-2015 08:38 AM

Great, David! Well deserved.

More Tom Canty.......more than a year ago, I asked Tom if he would sketch in my "Lettered" Talisman and he said he would be happy to do it. I specifically wanted him to do a remarque of the Queen that is depicted on the slipcase and the covers of both volumes.....He did a VERY nice job + did a lot of other random sketching in both volumes...I am providing a sample of his work.....It took him a VERY long time to complete this for me....to the point I was worried that he had lost my book, but I got it back in the end and am very happy with what I received.

**herbertwest** · 09-07-2015 08:49 AM

Well deserved David !

**Theli** · 09-07-2015 08:52 AM

Absolutely amazing additions David!

Wow! That is a beautifully remarqued copy of the book. From the detail I can see, it is WELL worth the wait. This is another of those editions that I just recently saw for the first time in real life and I'm really hoping to add it to my collection in the next couple years.

Count me in on the Beahm book as well, I'll be looking for the orders to open up on the site.
