Ari, i would say you're one lucky bastard, but you are not lucky, this was the result of hard work on your part.
(You might still be a bastard )
Congratulations.

I would add that Ari is really working hard.
I've known him since about 2000 I think. Probably since has long as Lilja and a few other people that I wont mention. But he is really a lucky bastard as well
I've been managing the french "Club Stephen King" community since about 15 years or so. And never been invited to any similar event

All of that for saying for confirming that yes, Ari has been very lucky, but indeed, I personnally know him and he does really do a lot. He is really lucky, but he worked a lot over the years for all of that and he truly deserves it.
Well done my friend! Hope you'll get a lot more events, freebies and gifts like those !

Amazing, Ari. Thank you for letting us live vicariously for a brief moment in the magic of that event. You seem to be a good and gracious guy which makes me all the happier to see you reap the rewards of your efforts!

Yep good people deserve good things. Well done, Ari.

Ari and Paul......very Jealous.

Love the tie Ari.

Wow Ari. Real great pics and looks like it was a lot of fun.

[swintek]

Thanks for the great story and pics. Glad you had fun!

[Ari_Racing]

Thank you everyone for your comments! It warms my heart. 😊 While it's true there's work and effort behind, I'm extremely grateful for all these opportunities. A lot of people trusted in me and I'll do all I can to pay for that vow of trust.

Thank you! And yes...I think I have good luck 😂

[surly]

Their trust is well placed.
That is so cool Ari. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. And by the way: that tie is AWESOME!

What a great time it looks like you had, Ari.

Nice tie, too.

Thanks everyone! I can't spread more positive rep until 24 hours pass.

Not much happening on the King front in my collection, but I'm very pleased with a few non-King items that have arrived in the last few months:









More pics in my non-King collection thread.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ben Mears]

Nice haul!

[peripheral]

You should be very pleased - great acquisitions!

[racerx45]

very nice.

I believe I commented on The Shadow of the Wind in your collection thread, but I didn't on the others.

The Suntups are gorgeous, of course, and while you haven't reached Yegor status, the pics are getting better! Something I need to work on, for sure.

The lettered Three-Body is gonna be Sub Press's #1 release of the year, I think. There are plenty of Sub Press lettereds that I haven't held or seen pictures of, but I feel pretty confident that nothing else they're gonna release in 2019 is going to match Three-Body. Maybe if Fire & Blood comes out in the next six weeks...

Great gets, HBJ!!

very nice.

Thank you, all. I know this is primarily a King collector's thread, so I appreciate your positive responses. The lettered copy of The Shadow of the Wind is one of those editions that I never thought I'd own, so I'm thrilled beyond words.

Thanks Tim. Those are kind words indeed - my photographic skills (and my collection) fall far short of Yegor's, I agree, but I appreciate your encouragement. I enjoy taking the photos as it gives me a chance to enjoy the qualities of the books that I'm trying to highlight. I want to get better at it, so if you're seeing an improvement, that makes me happy.

And yes, the TBP lettered edition is the standout release for SubPress this year, I agree. I don't think either The Labyrinth of the Spirits or Fire & Blood lettereds will be out this year. The Scar was pretty stunning, as was Broken Angels (based on Yegor's photos of them), but personally, I think TBP is just a little bit nicer than both.

Great to see pics of the Suntup edition of THE ROAD. While it’s my favorite book, I did pass on this new edition, so I’m very pleased to finally see what it looks like. Congratulations, and enjoy it.

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice! Congrats!
