The King Illustrations Catalog
Last edited by herbertwest; 04-17-2008 at 02:30 AM.
Alright!! Lots of stuff accomplished on the catalog this weekend, are you guys ready to tackle this?
If so, all we have to do is create a seperate thread for each Illustration entry.
As you can see, we can fiddle with names and links once all the "articles" (threads) are there.

These are amazing Jerome but we are going to need a thread for each entry. Meaning, this one won't have any in it.
The threads are what become the articles.
I love how it looks though, this is going to work out great!

Looks like we start the thread here in the Illustrations Catalog subforum. suppose Matt will sort them out later into a wiki format.
Edit: Just saw your new thread. Never mind.
Matt, do you want to move the SoS pics from the Catalog book discussion thread into a new thread in this subforum?

Hmmm. I'm not sure, but I think the idea is a thread for each artist. Kind of like The Baronies have a thread for each book.
But hey, I could be wrong.

Okay you guys, this is how it works.Originally Posted by Patrick
Each thread created will be an "article" when the forum is wikified.
The first post will be the main page of the article. The name of the thread will be the name of the article.
So each Illustration set should have its own thread--how those are named and organized is up to you guys. I love what we have so far.
That last bit Patrick, I would love but it just has to be its own thread to be an "article" when its wikified

We're on the same page then! (pun intended)Okay you guys, this is how it works.

I like that others, like Ari, are getting involved in this - saves a lot of work for the rest of us.RF and I can always go back later to edit in the autolinks and such as needed.

Okay, I reformatted the titles to make the wiki transition smoother. In cases where there are more than one edition of the book I put the publisher in parenthesis. I didn't have time to cross-reference between the King Catalog, so there are some I'm sure I missed.

Thanks. It looks great. If I catch any that were misseed I'll try to correct them.
Yeah, I am now intermittently attacking the "The"s in the King Catalog.
If I knew how to do it I would help.
Just open the article and click on article tools (where thread tools would normally be), and then go to Edit Article in the drop down menu. It will bring up a screen where you can alter the title of the Article and then just click Save when you're done.
But I've finished now, so I guess it doesn't matter. You know how to do it now, though.
Thanks for taking that on, Aaron.

You sure is Bill Russell?
Noone else have the abridged version of Misery and the Breathing Method, and could provide us some scann or pictures of the illustrations?
The illustrations that had previously been lost will be reuploaded within 2 weeks... srry for that delay but would probably not being able to do better
Also, I recieved today my cheap n used UK pocket ed of Nightmares n Dreamscapes, and before the story "the house of mapple street" there is an illustration...
its weird to put an illustration for ONE story in a collection book...
no real mention of the illustrator... is written "photoset by Rowland Phototypesettings Ltd"... but is it it, or is it the picture by Tabitha King?
Do other pocket editions have illustrations? (these one is from Hodder & Stoughton)
Should we include it in the catalog or not? coz is weird honnestly..
This illustration is one way to tell if you have a 1st or 2nd state edition of the H&S hardback.
On the first state the picture faces page 448, and on the second state it faces page 433.
Illustration from The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg 1994.
It should go in the illustrations catalogue.
The first state UK Nightmares and Dreamscapes dust jacket also has the price as 15.99 pounds Sterling, where the second state is 16.99. The first state. with the 15.99 and the picture facing p. 448, is fairly scarce.

Really? I picked mine up last February 2007 for £12 ($24)
You got a great deal! I've heard that most of that first print run were recalled (mostly from Australia) and destroyed. I really don't know how many there are out there.
John
That is a good price. I haven't heard that any were destroyed. I wonder why they would do that?
I've always heard that the "first state" was the export edition.
That could be true. I don't remember where I heard it or even if I remembered it correctly. I just know that first state seems to be fairly scarce. Of course, this could be because no-one looks at their copies closely and notices the differences.
