Awesome collection, Alan. I don't collect S/Ls but I have a secret longing for a couple of the older ones and you have them all. Very nice!
Simply a wonderful collection!
Alan, absolutely SOLID COLLECTION..........
Appreciate you sharing!
What is your favourite piece? I too, am a BIG IT fan. I love the IT paperback!
Tim
Thanks my friend. Hope you get your missing 3 1sts soon. Although the fun of collecting is hunting them down, right? I live about 9 miles outside Glasgow and about 30 miles from Edinburgh. English football is far superior to our Scottish game, unfortunately! Do you live in America now?
Thanks Tom. I have soft spot for Buick 8, but I think that's because it was the first S/L I ever owned. I think The Regulators is my favourite though. Love the design and the idea of the cheques etc. I got mine from David at Betts and it felt a bit like Christmas day opening the box when it arrived!!
There were only 1000 copies of that IT Special Collectors Edition paperback printed, so it's relatively scarce. I like my copy too.

Being a James Herbert fan I assume you have the Stephen Jones's JAMES HERBERT BY HORROR HAUNTED with an introduction by STEPHEN KING? My understanding is that there are 2,000 copys of the IT paperback.
Awesome looking collection!
I love the idea of splitting up the books in to two different cases. It might be the solution I've been looking for (although I don't have as many awesome S/L or Gift editions to fill another case up just yet)
I bought my copy of the UK IT Special Collectors Edition in 2001 from Grover DeLuca (Best Condition Books) in Atlanta. He's usually got his facts straight and my notes on the book say that there were "only" 50,000 done. So our numbers are all over the place on this, aren't they?
Alan Did you ever deal with Andromeda bookstore in Birmingham? They were my source for U.K. books when I was collecting Movie & T,V. tie-in books & then started getting my Stephen King books from them it was in one of their catalogs that had a listings for the Richard Bachman books and they stated that they felt that this was Stephen King writing under another name. This was long before the news broke.
Very nice collection. I am envious of more then a few of your books!
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...
