That is a hell of a 2001 collection! Very nice. Are your movie collectibles on display in your home, Steve, or tucked away?

Mostly tucked away, although every wall space has something hanging on it, posters, lobby cards, etc.
My collection is paltry compared to others on here, but I do have a lot of James Bond posters. I have a couple of 8 sheets (I think they're 8 sheets anyway, billboard size) I've never been able to unfold all the way.

I am hoping for a really nice 4k version of 2001 for the home.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I can not afford a new 4K player or TV set at this time, alas!

I was rearranging my F&SFs to get more room, and came across this letter stuffed between some issues:

[jhanic]

Those are awesome! I've never seen them before even though I had a subscription. Neat!

Any chance of a higher resolution?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

It's only one letter. I posted it twice. If you look at the picture in my photos page here, it is much larger and you can read it easily.

I put my entire run of F&SFs (Fall 1949 to NOV/DEC 2017) on two long shelves near the ceiling, stacking them on top horizontally to clear a bookshelf off.

Both shelves before horizontal stacking:




Both shelves after horizontal stacking:




These are the cleared shelves rearranged:

WOW! Must have felt nice to have some spare shelving - albeit, briefly!

[Father Cody]

Great now I want F&SF shelves. Thanks a lot, Steve.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Hey, like, anytime!

[Brian861]

That's a lot of freakin mags!

That's a lot of freakin mags!

According to the index, 734. But they've been doing double issues for the last few years, and they may count one issue as two whole numbers, so the count could be a little less.

Various incarnations of the late great Philip Jose Farmer's (I met him!) more adult books:

[Father Cody]

Awesome! I just saw something like this on eBay...

Whoa I tried to upload the screenshot and the Tapatalk app actually rejected it! These image recognition filters are insane nowadays.

These are great. The "Feast Unknown" copies wth the disproportionate guy with the machine gun crack me up..

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That's MISTER disproportionate guy with a machine gun to you!

[Hunchback Jack]

Oh, man, those are great! I particularly like the Grafton/Granada paperback editions. I remember seeing those as a kid.

You appear to have ones in pristine condition. Congrats!

Today I went to the movies, and when no one was looking I snatched these posters off the counter in the lobby:
I threw a rare Stephen King book in because this is a book thread.

[Father Cody]

Haha nice work! I’m going tonight to see Hereditary. Maybe I’ll get lucky, too!

[Brian861]

I should go see Solo today. Otherwise, I'll probably never get the chance....

It's WAAAAAAYYYYY better than the last Stars Wars movie.

Agreed! Rogue One remains my favorite of the newest releases. I also enjoyed episodes I-III, with the exception of Jar-Jar, which I guess a lot of people didn't care for.

I am currently reading this book:



On pages 236 and 237 is a picture of some of the books found on the shelves in the Bookhouse. The King was put there by Lucy:

That Lynch book is on my to-read pile, how's ti going? I was hoping to have it read before watching Season 3 but didn't get to it...
