Hi Gerald,
I wanted to write to you but I cannot find a way to send an email through this site. I will keep trying to figure it out. Were you Atsuko's friend from Ireland? She spoke highly of you. I am sorry to hear about her passing. She was a really nice person. God, has it really been 10 years? She was too young. The last time I wrote to her, it was bounced back. Now I know why. I sold her some rare UK proofs in early 2000s. They must be with you now. Some I haven’t been able to replace since, like Skeleton Crew. Is it with you now?
I just joined this site. Have you been on it long? Never knew this existed. If you could figure out how to write to me, please do so. I would like to talk more about my friend. You can email me too: markjamieoconnor@gmail.com.
Hope to hear from you.
Mark.
(Slow Mutants) Mark, I assume you've looked at the listing in the first post of this thread. Please feel free to add to, or correct any items that you can. My main desire is to make this listing as complete and correct as I can.

Hi Mark,
If you were known as ABC Mark, then I know of you. That was the only reference Atsuko had in her files, and yes they were associated with quite a few UK proofs. I tried to contact as many people as possible to let them know at the time, but there was no contact information for you that I could find, so I'm sorry. It is nice to finally make your acquaintance.
I am going out on a limb here, but I believe I have you to thank for a birthday gift I received many moons ago. I asked her where she found it, but she didn't tell me. She kept her contacts close. Are you still at ABC?
Welcome to the site. It's a great place. I've been a member for a few years but only started posting a little more regularly in the last year. Try to make the time if you can. There is a great bunch of people here. You're among friends.
I will email you as well. Take care.
Gerald
Gerald, that is truly awesome!
John
Very nice Gerald and hopefully you can connect with a kindred spirit.
Gerald,
I know you have heard this from many of us, but thank you for sharing these wonderful and rarely seen items. I love the back story on these as much as seeing the items themselves. So thank you again,
Steve

neo_trinity, was that Shining miniseries breakdown written by King? Considering he wrote the teleplay and all
Someone just bought this from Ken Lopez ...
Hope it was someone here.
That's one of the REALLY scarce ones, and signed to boot! WOW!!
John
nice inscription--looks in pretty good shape!
I wish mine was signed!
First one I have seen for sale in years.
I missed that... I would have bought it... Nice catch... I need to start looking at Ken Lopez website more often. What did it sell for?
$1,750.00 I believe
I would NOT let mine go for that price. They just do not come up for sale.....
I assume that's John Irving the author. Nice association copy.
Gerald, I simply LOVE the items you post and their stories! Please do it more often!

Thank you Ari. I will try to post more often, and I was going to show a new item recently, but when I saw that AKC and Randall Flagg had some EPIC announcements, I felt that mine would be just thrown out with the bath water.
I will wait until the excitement subsides with their news first. Fair enough?
Gerald
