One of King's stories appears in this book. That's an aftermarket slipcase purchased from The Collector that I keep it in. The slipcase is an unmarked case originally produced for The Gunslinger, but it fits Borderlands 5 nicely as well.

SK has a story in this collection as well. It was the first S/L that I ever purchased at list price (thankfully it wasn't the last).
Transgressions is the only S/L I've purchased from Amazon.com. I don't expect to have that luck again.
Blank bookcover (no dustjacket produced) and slipcase.

I received the S/L of the third book of Odd from Charnel House. Photos of the first two are posted upthread. Charnel does a nice job, I'm very happy with the whole set of Odd Thomas books.

Speaking of the Odd books, here is a 1st/1st of the second book, FOREVER ODD, inscribed to me.

I am quite thankful that another collector alerted me to the opportunity to have Koontz inscribe the book.

On another note, who remembers Phyllis Diller? She was big in the '70's of my childhood.

I have always loved Ray Bradbury. Here is an S/L (one of many versions) of one of my favorite books. Yet another opportunity I learned about from another SK collector.

Last May I was on Cape Cod for the first time and wandered into a little bookstore. I found exactly one copy of this, and it was not marked up. I have no idea how many copies were printed, but I like the author.

Let's get back to Stephen King now.
It's the ever popular nightlight package!

Here are the books I've posted so far tonight (along with some other books), as seen on one of my bookshelves.
On the top shelf, all books are signed by the various authors and some by artists as well. Most are Signed/Limiteds.
The books to the right (your right) of the tall Odd Thomas trilogy are all signed by Stephen King except the Talisman/BH gift set.
The Stephen King Trivia Book on the top shelf has a little doodle by artist Glenn Chadbourne.
This cellphone photo does not do it justice, but here you go anyway:

Now for some more books written by our beloved author...
Given that I've taken, downloaded, edited and posted all these photos tonight (it's 1am on a weeknight here), this S/L is apropos.
The book slides into the foldover traycase.
Signature page of #726 of 1250 signed and numbered copies of INSOMNIA.

Another fine S/L by Mr. King, DESPERATION.

I keep wanting to buy that Michael Chabon book, I always pick it up in my bookstore but never buy it. It's the only one they have. Maybe I should buy it this weekend. I keep saying no i'll get it next time....
I also remember Phyllis Diller...she's a very funny lady.
Great collection.
Thanks, Funky.
Buy that book.

I received these in the mail just the other day.
As you can see, this is the hardcover signed/limited Subterranean Magazine #6. It is accompanied by a softcover signed/limited chapbook of Joe Hill's wonderful short story, "Pop Art."
Inside the rather plain hardcover is the glossy cover of the magazine itself.
Here are the matching number signature pages (#5). The sig page of the chapbook is in the back, so I covered the last page of the story in this photo. Wouldn't want to ruin the ending for you.

I have been keeping an eye on your folder in the Gallery Patrick.
This is great stuff.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Speaking of Subterranean Magazine, here is the S/L of issue #2 with a story by Joe Hill:
He was not yet famous so his name does not appear on the front cover of the magazine:
Here's the signature page (#34) and there's Joe:

Thanks, Matt.
I took more pictures last night, I just need to find the time to post them here - hopefully tonight or tomorrow.
Eventually I plan to take photos of pretty much all the special edition books I've got (a lot fewer than many of the people around here) and post them.
