I thought maybe it was to hold Knowing Darkness
Was a good birthday for me! Have the other 2 F&SF issues on their way (no stickers!). The Raft is an extra copy as the Gallery still has the Raft attached inside. The Gallery copy is mint...The Long Walk, not so much
Congratulations all! Excellent acquisitions!
Wanted list:
Ubris
Thats one hell of a birthday haul!
Michaël: don't worry, only another 20 years or so of spending your money on those types of things instead of books.....
Great birthday haul!
I decided to stop by Strand Books on the way home from work and look what I found in the 48 cent paperback case:
A perfect copy of Umney's Last Case!
Congratulations! I miss visiting The Strand!
Wanted list:
Ubris
"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
Hilarious.
Heheh. My wife is blissfully unaware, though...
Haha that's brilliant, Michaël

Two additions. One specifically King and one related:
Finally took the plunge and got a Skeleton Crew S/L. I really like the design and feel of this book.
Below is a painting by Robert Addison whose images were used in the Second Coming proposal. This is called McCormick Mansion #1: egg tempera on board, 17" x 25", completed in 1956.
Nice! I really, really like your Addison paintings. I don't think you ever posted one that did not impress me.
WOW!!! Very, very cool, Ben!!! That is one of my "Grails"!!! Congrats!!!

My first ever Lettered Editions of a Stephen King book,
The presentation in these massive traycases is very cool,
I love these books especially since they have the prequel of sorts & follow up to Salem's Lot
