Book Collection: NeedfulKings
Welcome. I've got a fairly diverse collection. A lot of King as well as a few other authors I enjoy.
I've been collecting for about 3 or 4 years now. It's turned from a hobby into a passion.
Enjoy.
Your Collector--Bill:
Here's my Stephen King case:
Other collections:
My Dark Tower/Bev Vincent shelf:
Here's my cream of the Stephen King crop.
Signed Lisey's Story:
Jack Ketchum's Limited Edition "The Girl Next Door" with an intro by King:
My Dark Tower Books. 2nd Edition Gunslinger, First/Artist Editions II through VII:
A few hard to find paperbacks:
Desperation ARC (with Steven)
My basic Gunslinger Born collection (so far):
Black House, signed by Peter Straub
The King Family collection:
The start of what I hope to be a large Joe Hill collection. Heart Shaped Box UK Signed Limited, HSB flatsigned, HSB inscribed (Thanks, J!), Spiderman Unlimited with Joe Hill:
Pictures of the UK edition:
My ever-growing Tabitha and Owen collection:
One On One is inscribed to Andy (likely NOT the robot!)
Other authors that I look for.
I'm a huge Richard Laymon fan. Having discovered him after his death pretty much sucks. But, I enjoy his work and love how collectible he is.
US and UK hardcover first editions. A few have been inscribed or signed:
US Limited Editions and Tread Softly (published under the psuedonym Richard Kelly):
A few collectable paperbacks, including The Lawmen (written under a psuedonym) and a few "fastbacks."
I purchased Tread Softly from Ann Laymon, who appears to be selling extra copies from his library. Whether it's on the up-and-up, I don't know, but I got the book way under fair market value.
I went through Army basic training with Michael Arnzen. A college professor and writer of novels, short stories, and horror poetry:
My Ray Garton collection:
Personal inscriptions from various authors to myself and/or my wife (BedOfRoses here on .com)
Joe Hill
Bev Vincent
Ray Garton
Elizabeth Donald
This is from Richard Laymon to "Bill" but not me.
Various items from Mike Arnzen
Nice collection!!!
Nice stuff Bill!
I have that paperback edition of Rage. I didn't realize it was hard to find.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
If it says "Printed in the U.S.A" and has a number line 1 thru 9, it's fairly rare and worth well over $100, depending on the condition. Quite nice for a paperback.Originally Posted by Erin
And, thanks, funky!
Beautiful!. I love looking at other people's books as much as I like looking at my own books.
Great collection, Bill! I love how you have all those books inscribed to both you and Jeanne.

"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
We were lucky enough to be mentioned in Dark Discoveries Magazine. The article is personally signed by the author Kevin Etheridge.
Crimson, I like the starkness of the Insomnia covers. The ARC is impressive!
Okay, here's my NON-KING/BOOK related stuff.
Our Terri Nunn (of Berlin) signed CD.
Also. Jeanne and I won a message board contest by a local band. We were invited to join them (and some band family and friends) in the studio for an evening. We actually provided backup vocals, clapping, etc. on a few tracks. At the CD Release show, Bart signed our CD as well as a harmonica (used at the show!). I put them all in a display case.
A printing of the e-mail saying that we won:

The CD Liner Notes.
Yeah, I really wasn't making an artistic comment though.Crimson, I like the starkness of the Insomnia covers. The ARC is impressive!
