I've never seen a lettered PS Thinner before. That's really gorgeous. Having the letter embossed on the traycase and printed on the dustjackets is a nice touch.
Congratulations!

Sorry just saw your post, Antoni. No, I don’t have a lettered Thinner. Jonp has one I’m pretty sure.
Finally got the Mr M to complete the trilogy...
Congratulations, Antoni! That is an impressive feat. Nicely done.
Great stuff, Antoni. A fantastic signed set to have!
Did you happen to get your inscribed Strange Weather from Water Street Books by the way?
Buddy was a busy boy!! Nice!

How do you take such clear pictures? With a regular camera or some other multi-task device?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Thanks fellas. And yes, Alan, Water Street Books. Someone had asked me the other day, and I forgot the name. That's it.
Haha... Thanks, Kris. Busy working, and busy spending...
Thanks, Steve. I'm critical of my own book photos compared to most of the others on here. They're always just taken with my iPhone. There are two places in the house I take them - either the room where the bookcases are, which is rather dark and has a window which gives an annoying reflection, but I like the backdrop of the bookcase The second place is just beside my desk, on a filing cabinet, upstairs, which has some broad windows that get a lot of light (this is where I took the photos of this trilogy). Maybe I'll stick to the upstairs room for photos!
Haha... The benefits of a dry continent in close proximity to a kickassed-size hole in the ozone..!
Great stuff all around. Congratulations!
BIG CONGRATS Antoni !!!

I love the Bloch and Fowles books from a bit ago! The Magus is really a fantastic book - a little slow by modern standards, but more twists and turns than any other novel I've read. I have a very small Fowles collection (no Magus!), with some stuff from his personal library.
Also, the Durtro Press Ligotti is a treat!
Thank you, lotuz. Yes, I do love collecting Bloch. Such an important writer in the genre and I love his insrcriptions - he would frequently do very long and witty ones. I also have Bloch’s copy of Danse Macabre that King inscribed to him - probably my favourite collectible (top five, at least). I also have a decent-ish Ligotti collection - one of my favourite contemporary authors of the genre. The Magus is all I have of Fowles - I too love that book. I’d love to see your own Fowles collection, including items from his personal library. Intriguing. You need to get a Collection Thread up and running soon!
I agree totally and I think that non-Psycho Bloch is generally underrated. I have some paperback originals and firsts, but no signatures.
And Bloch's copy of Danse Macabre, with an inscription?!? I don't know if there's a better association than that! That would definitely be in my top 5. I'd love to see it, if you haven't posted it already.
I am working on uploading some pictures for an upcoming collection thread My best Fowles-related book will probably get a mention, but it's likely not of wider interest. Basically, there is a 19th century book called The Life of the Late Celebrated Mrs. Elizabeth Wisebourn that chronicles a "madame" of the 18th century and her clientele, and in which most of the names are censored as such: J--- S---- or T------ B------. In Fowles's copy, he filled in a bunch of the names in pencil while he was reading it . I really like stuff like that (hence my hearty interest in the Bloch/King association). The idea that an author I admire sat down with this book and engaged with it and wrote in it, is really cool.
Man, that does sound awesome. A combination of ephemera and book. Brilliant. I have a copy of T.E.D. Klein's Ceremonies where he has written, "signed and corrected by T.E.D. Klein". Apparently, when he would sign the first impression he would also often quickly go through and correct some of the errors in the text. So, dotted throughout my copy are all of these small editorial marks. I love it.
And, my inscribed DM to Bloch is on my Collection Thread (post #292)
