Is Stu also the guy who does the Stephen King tours ?
has anybody from this site ever taken one of those tours?

[Randall Flagg]

Very interesting. But what the heck was the proprietor (Stu?) going to do with a bunch of worn out shingles?

Shit on them and serve as military food.

Okay, to some degree my collection extends to almost all areas of King collecting (it could even be said mine lacks a particular focus), but I can do without personal items especially something as mundane as old shingles from his house. Something unique like that suit from the Carrie photo that Bob has...yeah, I might have to jump on a purchase like that, but I can do without things like discarded toilet paper rolls or Stephen King's grass. LOL

....and I wouldn't be pissed about someone making money off my trash; I'd just publicly mock them.

Alan and Cook...you hurt my heart.

Edit: I suspect Bob has enough King stories he could do a story a day.

I would think he wanted the spare shingles for his own home roof or for the store, not to sell them as "King Shingles". Then again, what do I know?

I'm thinking... this would sell better:

That's what his "grass" looked like in the '80's!!!!! LOL

[Coulrophobia]

Yes it would sell better, and watch out for the 420 numbered edition.

[sgc1999]

isn't it priced a little...."high"

[Coulrophobia]

Ba Dum Tssssh (Rimshot)

[Sir_Boomme]

isn't it priced a little...."high"

no... it's comes a a special edition of "Weeds"

[sgc1999]

only a real "Dope" would pay that much.

[Jimimck]

You guys crack me up!

[Coulrophobia]

Don't handle it to much or the value will go Up In Smoke

[sgc1999]

this thread is really going to "pot"

[TwistedNadine]

LOL good laughs on this one guys thanks

[Randall Flagg]

after all the puns, I can hardly "exhale"...

[sgc1999]

I suppose getting some of Kings grass is just a "pipe" dream

Back on topic... David is getting some new books for sale next week, including "a couple of lettered editions you rarely see".

I hope they are Lettered EOTD. I've been looking for one for a while.

Not the specific SK Tours, but at the first SKEMERs Conference in 1997 we toured around Bangor to the addresses that Stu provided - this was teh genesis of what is now SK Tours; I know that at follow on SKEMERCons that they actuyally had a bus and printed maps from Stu.

There was some pretty cools stuff on the tour!

All the lettered Philtrum Press titles are really, really scarce (which includes THE PLANT). I've never known who received them. Close family and associates of King, I guess. They almost never come up for sale. Regarding TEOTD: there are two lettered states....red and black letters....26 of each, I think.

Correct. Per the Catalog: "26 red lettered, 26 black lettered, less than 10 Artist's copies, 250 red-numbered and 1,000 black-numbered copies produced."
