Thanks guys.

I received another batch of Underwood/Miller material, including this note from Robert Bloch to Tim Underwood:

[peripheral]

Brilliant stuff, and I love this Bloch letter...

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Typeset pages for U/M's edition of TO LIVE FOREVER by Jack Vance:

[Brian861]

Cool stuff, Steve!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks again guys.
More TO LIVE FOREVER material, uncut page sheets with notations (presumably by Chuck Miller):

[The Library Policeman]

Very cool, Steve

[jcmanske]

Great additions! Congratulations!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks again!
Even more Chuck Miller items, THE AUGMENTED AGENT uncut page sheets with extra Vance signature page for the 11 copy leather edition (which I really, really, really times ten to the tenth power wish I had!):

[dnemec]

Very nice new stuff!!! Super jealous of those Sleeping Beauty ARCS!

[racerx45]

Good stuff, congrats

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks, I like the ARCs too!

More Vance stuff, color separations for TRULLION, WYST and MARUNE, the ALASTOR trilogy. Pictures can't do them justice:

[Brian861]

Cool stuff, Steve!

More unused U/M Vance dust jackets:

[becca69]

Love those DJs!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I bought a 10 X 24 inch frame, put all the dust jackets in it, and hung it on the wall. It looks nice.

This is the contract between Vance and U/M for the rights to reprint TO LIVE FOREVER, with Vance's and other parties signatures. I blotted out his social security number, although I doubt it makes any difference now:

FEAST OF FEAR jacket cut-out (not sure what the purpose of this was), plus extra signed sheets of various Vance U/M lettered editions:

[jcmanske]

You found the motherlode of U/M collectibles and are now a Jack Vance supercollector. Congratulations on all the new additions. Very hard to find and cool pieces. I love all the prepublication stuff, too!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks, I should have more coming this year.

[Rooster]

Holy moly, you've found the Jack Vance/U-M ephemera jackpot! Very nice stuff, and very cool to see this.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks!

I decided I didn't have enough Stephen King books, so I bought another one. It is not signed, numbered, lettered, rare, hard to find, gilt edged, limited, boxed, slip-cased, shrink-wrapped, specially bound, smyth sewn, or the original first edition, but I like it anyway:

[zelig]

Nice. If you’re a completist, you will want to look out for the 2nd printing of that one. There will be a line on the copyright page that does not appear on the 1st printing.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I'll keep my dragon eyes open for it, but I had to order this from Amazon, I couldn't find it around here.

[Brian861]

Cool stuff, Steve!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I finally bought one of the three Bloch lettered books I didn't have, THE FEAR PLANET (I hope! ROBERT BLOCH'S PSYCHOS being the other one.) And I hope to snag another soon: This is copy E of 26 lettered copies, with the book on the shelf, and what started out as my Ellison lettered shelf that soon got crowded. I think there are 5 lettered editions stuffed in there somewhere:

Bloch! I love it, Steve. Fear Planet - Is that a compilation of his works? Amazing stuff...
