Thanks guys. As soon as I pop another pill (or two, or three...) I'll take some more pictures. (If I can focus the camera)

Thanks guys.

Here is not one, but TWO views of the extremely rare, hard to find AUSTRALIAN 1st trade paperback edition of THE OUTSIDER, sent to me from New Zealand by the most popular person in that country, Jimimck, unless Angelina Jolie happens to be visiting, making him the second most popular person in NZ:

A.K.A. the UK Airport Edition?

Same thing except it has a tiny picture of Australia on the back cover and says Printed in Australia.

Now I want one. Didn’t know it’s so rare!

I never know with Steve if he's pulling our leg. Could we see a photo of the back cover

See I’m not the only one, Steve!

Oh for.....!
Here's the best my camera can do on the OUTback (get it? Australia, abbreviation for THE OUTSIDER as "OUT", and then the 'back' of the book and...oh, just forget it...)

I added another Sub Press ARC to my Vance collection today:

[The Library Policeman]

Nice one, Stevo

I took these pictures in 3D. Of course, you need the special correct glasses to see them properly:

[Father Cody]

Why two Outsiders? Just because or is there something different?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I always buy two each of every US trade hardcover and paperback now, and wish I had been doing that back when I started collecting King. Due to the large print runs, this is sort of meaningless now, but I like to do it anyway.

[Miguel_ND]

Very nice!

Thanks, Steve lol. What's the story with the short copies of TBOBD in your other pics?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Do you mean the LARGE PRINT hardcover copies?

And they'd rather be called 'height impaired' if you don't mind.

"Height Impaired" I can relate to that...hahahahahaha.

Wow! Where do you put all of these books Steve!?!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Wherever I can find a space!
I'm always rearranging books so I can squeeze more in, so it's probably a good thing (not really), that I've missed out on a lot of limited King books lately. I lament the fact I was either too late to the party, can't afford them, or the publishers won't accept payments, but I guess you can't get everything that you want. I am happy with what I DO have coming though! VERY HAPPY!

L.W. Currey sent me a list of recent titles for sale, one of them THE GODS THEMSELVES, for which he wants $1500 for a very nice, signed copy. So I rushed right down the three miles of shelves to my 'A' section to see if my copy (bought from Currey many years ago and in VG++ to NEAR F condition in my opinion, was signed. Alas, it is not. BUT - there was some discussion here recently about complimentary copies, and I saw this on the inside front cover:





These pictures have much more detail if viewed in my gallery, and my deep, heartfelt thanks go to the administrators of this site for allowing me to store these photos here with no size restrictions. It means a lot to me to share these pictures. And it is a lot of fun doing so!

I’m with you there. My favorite thing about this site are the collection threads. Not only looking at other people’s collections (of which there are seemingly no end) but reading people’s comments about mine. For me it’s half the fun of collecting.

I’d love it if you’d post a wide shot of your collection. If it’s possible I mean. To see it all in one picture.

Impossible to get in one picture because the rooms are so crowded, with shelves in the middle of the area. Here's one picture of the main library room:
