I was "let go" from my job of almost 26 years, collected unemployment for 2, then found a couple of jobs during the next 5 years, then said "That's enough!" and retired. And I'm only 27 years old! So hang in there!

I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

The math doesn't work. Worked 26 years, unemployment for 2, then 5 more years of jobs =33 years. Sure you aren't 57, not 27?
I live in a non-Euclidean universe. Hope that clears everything up.

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
It's been a very long time since I've added anything here. Between getting settled with my new job and trying to get out of debt, I don't have a lot of $$ for the limiteds but I have managed to add many new magazines and books about King to the collection in recent weeks.
One of my favorite things to collect is mags that feature King and/or his books/movies on the cover. I'm actually currently working on a big project concerning these types of mags. Collecting info on the web and doing a lot of research on magazines, zines and newsletters from around the world that feature King and his works on the cover...something I've never seen done before (and I'm sure most people could care less about! haha). But it's something I enjoy, that's for sure...
And a few new adds of books about King.
I'm also currently saving up money and in talks to add a massive collection of magazines (first appearances, interviews, non-fiction, etc.) to the collection of a member here who is selling off his collection AND I'm also in talks to get back most of my old collection I sold off to a big collector in Canada some years ago. I might need a bigger house.......

Good to hear from ya, Jonathan and congrats on the latest acquisitions. I'm sure there would be a lot of interest in a magazine database regarding King. Good luck with it!

I agree your project sounds very interesting and valuable indeed. King is always so candid and honest in interviews, I'm tempted every time I see magazines with long features on him on ebay.
Sounds like a great project Jon!

Stopping by to post a couple more "newly discovered" King pieces that Bob Jackson or Justin Brooks didn't have in their catalogs. These ones were new to me as well upon discovering them last month. They might not be truly desirable items for most collectors here, but for a completist like myself, these are gold! Sharing here because I doubt many have seen these items.
These zines are much like the "Chernobog" fanzine from 1980 that contains an unauthorized reprint of King's "Not Guilty" piece originally printed in NY Times Book Review.
These two zines, "Maggotville News" and "King Things", were produced by the Esoteric Order of Dagon which was an amature zine publishing "group", focused on Lovecraft but branched out to cover other areas of horror and weird literary fiction. Members of the group were required to create mailings or assembled zines, to mail to whoever was a member of the group at any given time. They hardly followed any copyright laws and mostly produced zines of photocopied or typed out articles and letters from other publications.
"Maggotville News", dated July 1980, reprints King's "Horrors of '79" article (originally published in Rolling Stone).
"King Things", dated October 1980, reprints King's "Horrors of '79" article again, as well as "On Becoming a Brand Name", and a reprinted interview with King from Heavy Metal magazine.

That’s cool - Congrats!
A couple of new additions...scored these two Plume "advance" review copies of DT 2 and DT 3, basically just finished copies of the trade paperbacks but with laid in review letters/press releases for reviewers and media. Interesting note in the DT 3 letter stating the reasoning behind the two different covers of the trade paperback (one with the rose, one with the train), that test-marketing of the covers were that men preferred the train and women preferred the rose so that's why they went with two different editions.
Also, because I was rearranging books the other day...here's all the GK Hall early large print King hardbacks. Only one ex-library copy here (The Shining). Tough to find non-ex library editions!

Very nice!
I assume you'll fix that repeated image snafu!

always something exciting and interesting to see here, thanks a lot for sharing!
