Bob
Great acquisitions!

[wizardsrainbow]

Nice Bob-

Interesting...I ordered a remarqued Joyland from Steve at Analecta also and received the WRONG one too! I have sent the copy back to Steve and am awaiting the correct copy...Now I wonder if he shipped it somewhere else?

[wizardsrainbow]

All of you know I'm a Dark Tower nut case. Squirreled away somewhere I have a flatsigned 1st edition of Legends (1998 ) which features the story Little Sisters of Eluria for the first time. Well, courtesy of a member here, I was able to pick up this inscribed copy to Marty, first by King and then on the next page artist Erik Wilson did a Remarque of Roland and then inscribed to Marty on opposing page and dated year of publication. I don't know for a fact that King's signature was done at the same time, but maybe I'm hoping King's signature is also year of publication.








And I also picked up this 1st edition Gunslinger inscribed to Nancy and dated year of publication (1982).

Very nice ! Great additions to a great collection

David, King almost certainly signed the book on 11/23/98. This book was discussed recently in another thread. Stu Tinker had a dinner for several people the night before the signing. Erik Wilson was signing and drawing in books at that dinner. Doesn't your book also have Terry Goodkind's signature dated 11/22/98 also? The original owner almost certainly used the book as one of his two books at the signing the next day with King.

Imgur is strange. If you click the picture another window opens with the image. Right click that and copy the image location. That will render properly here.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you are happy!

Just got this in Australia from Br!an the champion. I'm absolutley thrilled. Br!an also went out of his way for me and grabbed me the U.S BOB,a slipcasd Finders Keepers,and a 1st Misery. I've never seen such outstanding packing,honestly. It makes me want to email everyone I've ever posted something to and apologise. He is just a great a bloke, and I'm really grateful for his help.
Anyway,signed Revival. Love it. Thanks again mate! Having trouble with imgur. Can't seem to directly pics to this site. Links only?

David, those are awesome! Congratulations!

Brian, very, very nice!

Well, Bob, you are amazing as always....I turned to Terry's story and there plain as day was an inscription to Marty from Terry Goodkind. AWESOME!! Means that this book was all signed year of publication. Man, wish I had been at that event with all of you. All the big boppers were there. I was still just a King collector neophyte working on my first edition collection. I had no clue there was an event.

Still, when I bought Betts, one of the things I "bought" were 2 Bag of Bones event tickets...I think they were #19 and #20. I kept #19 and I think gave the other ticket to someone else.

I still have a "bunch" of stuff that came with the store that have just been put in storage. Stu had a large paper mache (spelling?) Stephen King head that he said was made by a local artist. It was on his "books" at $2500. It's been in a box in my storage unit for 6 years and I've never looked at it.

Stu had that paper mache head hanging in the old Betts Bookstore on Main Street. I saw it a couple of times. I never made it to the Hammond Street store so I don't know if it hung there too. It was a much smaller store and there may not have been room. I can't recall if Stu had a price on it or not. I think I heard him say it was not for sale. It was an iconic item and I think he had photos of it in a few of his newsletters. I always thought it was pretty cool. It wasn't an item I wanted to buy but it was a perfect wall decoration for Betts Bookstore.

Careful! As we speak, the head is slowly, slowly chewing its way out of the box. It's hungry, and it's coming for you.

[wizardsrainbow]

LOL...how appropriate! to be consumed by a likeness of SK!!!

It took some digging but I finally found it. This is from a Betts Bookstore flyer from 1994. I guess I was mistaken and it was always for sale (isn't everything?) Anyway here is a photo. The picture is not the greatest but I remember this being very well done and pretty big. IIRC it was probably 18 to 24 inches tall. Not an item for everyone but it really looked good hanging in the old Betts Bookstore on Main St.

That is cool. LOL David you really have this?

Amazing stuff and information!

I've just received these:



Porfolio is missing one color piece but I'm confident I'll find one for sale. Already did years ago.
