"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
Nice stuff, and your floor looks quite clean...
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Nice ones SG, and Happy Birthday / New Years / Both ????

just wanted to post a couple of pictures of an item I received for my birthday...
This is a print of the original artwork for Rachel Readman's 'Constant Reader' Sculpture. Unfortunately Rachel had some machinery problems which meant she couldn't start work on my sculpture in time but very nicely sent me this print ahead of time. I had intended to wait till I got it framed but I hadn't realised until Rachel mentioned it in a PM that the colour work at the bottom was unique to mine as she had effectively 'remarqued it' as a bonus birthday present!
I absolutely love it and cannot wait to receive my sculpture. I have been given an insight to her next 2 pieces of work (after 'The Crimson King') which I will let Rachel announce when she is ready, but they are 2 (actually 3) of my favourite characters/scenes from the books. Now where's those damn lottery numbers....?

I've always liked that sculpture.

Nice gift!

Replacement PS Collectors books.
I really want to thank PS for their assistance on this as they have replaced my 2 odd numbered books with a matching set... No 14!! I will now get #14 for all forthcoming releases!

Good deal on the matching numbered editions for the PS Limited/Anniversary editions Stroppy - particularly if you get the same number for forthcoming releases (I have it on very good authority that you - and a lot of other fans - will be very, very, very, very happy when PS make their 40th Anniversary Carrie announcement later this month - it will be .... awesome ....)

Great stuff, and makes me want my PET SEMATARY already! The newsletter says they finally sent them all out. Yay!

My Birthday Present arrived - Thanks Rachel!!!
This is just stunning, bigger than I expected and presented beautifully in it's own lined box. The detail is superb (my photo's do NOT do it justice) and I love the addition of the separate Horn!
I present #20 of Constant Reader by Rachel Readman...
