"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Good idea... but I would feel bad for everyone that lost because of me.Hold off on pics. I have an idea where (men only for this one) submit current pics (via PM to me) and commit that if they lose they donate $50 to our fundraiser (and of course receive 5 entries for the grand prize).It's 11.12 PM here, I'm off to bed. But anyone who wants to participate can send me a pic and I'll be happy to set up a poll tomorrow
The winner of the poll receives 2 free entries.
Here's my entry.
Good one Alan. I think my entry would be very similar.
The pic will need to be a current face pic. Otherwise don't enter.
Do I win?
You fucked him????? LOL LOL LOL

Well, now that I have a gift edition worthy of the traycase, I need the traycase and prints lol.
I'm not about to ask if anyone has any of those 'Salem's Lot page blocks that people have had custom bound recently, but does anyone have anything similar to that sort of thing up for sale? I like the idea of a custom bound edition of a King novel in my collection and see there is a local Book binder I could try out if I had some source material to use. Thanks
I can't help you but I remember that a number of Six Stories 'signatures' were sold on eBay a couple of years ago. I don't recall if they were only a few signatures or the complete text block but that would be a nice one to give a custom treatment. I'm pretty sure some of our friends here got those.
If you don't go down the road of limited editions you could always buy a cheap trade copy of a favorite novel and have that rebound.
writt
I have everything King has published in MS Word format. You could just print a book any way you prefer, and have it bound.
The cost of binding a book is the prohibitive factor. Paying hundreds of dollars to bind a paperback page block doesn't make much sense to me. Paying it to bind a limited edition page block does.
If you keep an eye out you will eventually find limited editions with damaged boards at a discount.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I worry this will become commonplace.... Making it a collectors nightmare. I think I am going to shy away from these. The Lot's are BEAUTIFULLY done.. but, I have to draw a line somewhere. As I am sure most of us do...

Or you could buy one already rebound. I got a rebound hardback, of the Pocket Books paperback, of "Storm of the Century " for next to nothing. I suppose it's quite rare, as it's the only one in the world.
I love this concept of rebinding books, but you do make a good point here, and it's also something that has concerned me about it. That of potentially becoming a collector's nightmare... Primarily, I'd imagine for those who have that 'completist' vein running through them like I do...
Like that for example! The dreaded words that haunt completists: "...only one in the world."
Congratulations on owning this unique copy! How do you know it's the only one?
