Simply awesome collection, Peri! Absolutely love it!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Echoing others statements, really nice setup. Particularly like the way the odd book every now and then has its cover facing out instead of the spine. Makes for a really cool look. Interested in how you decided which covers to show?
"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
Gorgeous set up! Ya gotta love those IKEA bookshelves. Not custom made, but when you'd rather put money in your collection, they work great!
Incidentally, I really like the Barker Books of Blood set. I keep seeing them on eBay and would love a set, but haven't brought myself to spend the money. What do you think of them?
Thanks Dez. And I love the Sub Press Books of Blood. Uses the original artwork (which I love - I only wish the artwork wrapped around the spines, as the originals, but it doesn't). Book 1 only is signed, the slipcase is nice, and the box is very heavy. The books themselves, the stories, are incredible and I have actually read these editions (carefully! and not in the bath ) I got mine for $225 USD, not sure how they are valued now.
Beautiful collection!

Great looking collection, peripheral. Very impressive.
Nice to see a Laird Barron fan, he's a damn fine author.
Whereabouts in Aus are you?
Lincoln.
Antoni, It is about time you got your collection thread up and going!!( and why didn't I get the memo) Just love it. Particularly the S/L Stand(obviously) and the impressive collection of Bachmans. Really great books and presentation dude. Cheers!
Oh yes and UP THE IRONS!
Haha. Cheers Chad. Yeah, it was a goal of 2016, and once I had the bookshelves in place and I could take the books out of the wardrobes in 3-4 rooms and house them in one place, just needed the time to get some photos. Have some more good ones heading from Betts any time now.
I don't often find good SK collectibles locally in Australia, but just acquired this inscribed US Cujo 1st/1st from a local guy.
Nice add, Peri!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Love the inscription . Good find!
Cheers guys... It's a NF copy of the book too.
Congrats! A classic inscription.
Had a huge haul recently, including some Betts beauties...
Quietly Now S/L
Borderlines 5. I just love some of the names / signatures in here.
EotD S/L
Green Mile S/L
Congrats, Peri! Always love see that edition of EOTD. It's a beautiful book.

Thanks mate. Its beautiful. And I was surprised at the size of it - it's huge. And by contrast, Green Mile was smaller than I imagined, but it's stunning.
You're on a roll at the moment with these beauties. Congratulations, Antoni. EOTD is an awesome book but I always found it difficult to store being so big. I have to store it horizontally.
Thank you Jon. Yes, I have been on a roll, but it's about to slow right down with most of my goals done for the year. I got in early before the Aussie dollar finally crapped out. We're under 1:2 with the UK pound now. As for EotD, I'm lucky I've got these adjustable shelves: Space for the little dudes on top, and big dudes on bottom.
