Transgalaxis issue only 7 Books from King which they rebound in leather with a license. Here the list: ES (IT), Sie (Misery), Schwarz (The Gunslinger), Drei (Drawing of the Three), Die Augen des Drachen (Eyes of the Dragon), Langoliers and Der Werwolf von Tarker Mills (cycle of the werewolf)

The Transgalaxis Editions are very rare, because it was welcome offer for Transgalaxis Customer... The second reason is, that the publisher allow Transgalaxis only a small quantity to bind in leather and the cost for the leatherbinding was higher than the retail price... Iam a proud owner of only 3 Books... Schwarz (The Gunslinger), Die Augen des Drachen (The eyes of the Dragon) and Sie (Misery)... here the pics

Duddits was a marketing contract with the publisher. King signed 25 pieces for the publisher and these 25 were then drawn...

My lovely book ever....

The numbered Editon of ES is limeted to 250 pieces and the roman numbered (like lettered in the states) Edtion ist limeted to 30 pieces... My Copie hat the No. II / XXX. ES from Edition Phantasia is the World 1st Edition, because is was published without getting the license from the exclusive german publisher Heyne and i think from scribner from the states (without authorization)... Therefore world 1st Edition, because it was on the market before scribner....

One of the rarest german books in the world....

Nebel is also a world 1st Edition, because it was also an unauthorized bootleg publication from Edition Phantasia... After the second time, the books were imported to the USA and there they were seized and destroyed. It is widely believed that less than 50 copies exist today.

The numbered Edition was limited to 500 pieces and the roman numbered edition was limited to 30 copies. My Copy has No. III / XXX. The book is signed by the Artist Herbert Brandmeier.

The 50th anniversary issue from the publisher Heyne was a special Edition with a window at the cover, where you can see the eyes of pennywise. If you open the cover, then you will see pennywise complete. My Copie is still shrinkwrapped, the other pics are from another copy, so that you can see the window at the cover and pennywise

Brennen muss Salem (Salems Lot) is the publication from 2007 with Illustrations. My Copy is still shrinkwrapped

Eins für Unterwegs (note book incl. a short story about Salems Lot). It was like a present only for book stores, they were not sold, only give aways in stores or you had the chand to win some from the publisher.

Here is the last Stuff about King from Edition Phantasia.
The Portfolio for Die Augen des Drachen (The Eyes of the Dragon) from the Artist Johann Peterka includes 13 black&white illustration and is signed by the artist. It was made for the unrealized book project The Eyes of the Dragon. As i mentioned before, because of the licence contract violition ot Nebel (The Mist), Edition Phantasia was not allowed to issue the eyes of the dragon, but the portfolio was made. Therefore Edition Phantasia published only the Portfolio of the unrealized book The eyes of the dragon, which was limited to 100 pieces. My copy has the No. 57 / 100.

The publisher Zsolnay issued a special horror box incl. 5 books from very famous horror authors. The Cover from this 5 books was illustrated by Gottfried Helwein. It includes books from E.A. Poe, Peter Straus, Dean R. Koontz, Leo Perutz and Stephen King. In this bloody box you will find Salems Lot from Stephen King and the cover of this book is very amazing :D

My copy of this bloody box is still shrinkwrapped

Absolutely gorgeous set of books! I love many of these German editions - most of mine are the boring ones - just black cover with title and author. But this is just great. :clap:

But - you really should remove the shrinkwrap and READ those books, Ferdi. Especially the Dark Tower S/L's - just the feel of those pages, and the smell...:onfire:

Maybe it does lessen the value - but so what? A book is there to be read - also the limited ones. No, especially the limited ones!

This is a very impressive collection! I have very much enjoyed reading through this entire thread.

As far as the shrinkwrap issue, we've debated that more than once on this site. Personally I would remove the shrinkwrap. As long as you take good care of the books (like using Brodart covers on the dustjackets, etc.), I don't think the shrinkwrap adds any value. But again, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing your collection with us. I look forward to seeing more!
