Book Collection: ELazansky

[ELazansky]

So I thought I'd share my meager collection. I've only been collecting for about 10 months now, so I think I am off to a good start. The first case are all of my first editions (except for the bottom right shelf - just reprints and book clubs for now) and the other shelves are my s/l and gift editions. I have learned and continue to learn so much from the members on this board. I can't thank everyone enough. I look forward to more new acquisitions in the near future, although if I don't slow down, my wife will kill me.

For such a time a great Collection!
Go on!:clap:

[Randall Flagg]

Wonderful. Where did you get the slipcase for Just After Sunset?

[ELazansky]

I got it from the Overlook Connection during one of their sales - http://overlookconnection.com/catalog/just-after-sunset-slipcase-only-p-2621.html

[jhanic]

Indeed, a very nice collection done over a relatively short period of time. Congratulations!

She may THREATEN to do that, but I don't think she actually will. I am speaking from experience here. Full speed ahead, son.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Great to see your collection ELazansky. Looking good.

[frik]

NOTHING meager about your collection, Eric (?) !! After 10 months my collection consisted of only one book. We all have to start somewhere and you're well on your way! :thumbsup:

Your wife will most likely be like my husband. She will bitch and bitch like my husband. My husband has gotten so mad at me for buying books that he has slept on the couch for a few nights.

[ELazansky]

I'm hoping that she won't mind too much. I work from home, so I'm home all day doing my job plus caring for the house and our kids. It is the only hobby I have, so hopefully she'll cut me some slack.

My biggest obstacle is going to be spending a large sum of money on one book. I have been trying to start with the less expensive books, but once I have them, I don't know how I'm going to bring myself to spend $1000 or more for a book. I just can't wrap my head around that.

[ssmith40]

Im just restarting my collection again after a burglary wiped out what I once had. Starting slow, but I have been able to find first editions on Misery and Tommyknockers. Then a friend blew me away with a gift addition to my collection, a 1st ed Gunslinger, singed!! It belonged to her father who passed away several years ago. She thought about selling it but thought he would want it passed on to someone as passionate about it as he was. There were a few books in the collection, all signed, as well as a picture of her father and King leaning against Christine drinking beers, also singed. They are all amazing. Ill post some pics soon.

I have never spent $1000 or more on a book. I mostly stick with the $75 gift editions. The gift editions have the same thing as the more expensive books, they just don't have the signatures. The most I ever spent on a book is $295 and that was Knowing Darkness.

You were robbed and all your book collection got stolen. :cry: That is awful. This sounds like my worst nightmare! May I ask what was in your collection and what types of books were stolen?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice collection indeed!
I'm confused (as usual) about the UK BAG OF BONES S/L. How does it differ from the trade edition? And what is the UK BAG OF BONES 1 of 2000 numbered? How many UK editions are there? And are any actually signed by King or are they facsimile signatures? I really don't care much if King actually signed the books or not, but I just want to get my facts about this edition straight.

And what is the green boxed set next to the limited INSOMNIA? Is that the Sub Press GREEN MILE SET?

[ELazansky]

The UK Bag of Bones is just a regular H&S 1st trade edition. It has 2000 signed and numbered bookplates, not facsimilies. So it is really just a regular book with a signed plate in it. Definitely not the most exciting of signed King books, but it was cheap, so I bought it.

And the green box is the Gift Edition of the Green Mile set from Sub Press

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I just read your other post about BAG OF BONES on The Collector's site. I recently ordered it under the mistaken assumption it was one of the boxed UK limited editions. Oh well, I wanted it anyway, but probably would have waited if I had done some research on it.

[Patrick]

Very nice additions, Eric.

If you feel like taking a photo, I'd love to see the back cover of that F&FS S/L.

[Tito_Villa]

Wow some great additions!

[biomieg]

The good stuff just keeps on coming :) I need a copy of that VOLUNTARY COMMITTAL too...

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice stuff by Mr. Hill. I've never read anything by him (except THROTTLE). What do you consider his best book?

[ELazansky]

20th Century Ghosts is my favorite. His short story writing is fantastic. Pop Art is my favorite story in the book. Some of his chapbooks are included in 20thCG (Voluntary Committal and Better than Home). HSB and Horns are good, but I love short stories.

[Stockerlone]

Nice stuff !!! Especially your Joe Hill Books.

[Randall Flagg]

Amazing stuff, and nice photography too.

[Patrick]

Great Hill collection!

[ELazansky]

A few new things to add:

1) SK: The Non-Fiction - I wasn't planning on buying this anytime soon, but I couldn't resist getting copy #1

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/SK-TheNon-Fiction.jpg
http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/SK-TheNon-Fiction-LimPage.jpg

2) The Shape Under the Sheet - I remember having this once before, but I don't remember it looking like this. This one has no DJ, and the seller said it was limited to 3000 copies and was printed before the regular edition with the DJ. Anyone have any more info on this? It is still sealed in the original wrap.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheShapeUndertheSheet-1.jpg

[jhanic]

I have one of the SK Encyclopedia as you show. Mine is not in the shrinkwrap, though. I remember something similar also about the 3,000 copy print-run.

My notes also list this as part of a 3000 copy edition. There was also a signed/limited edition of 350 copies published by The Overlook Connection in slipcase without dust jacket. Not sure which was the "true" first edition. I've also got a large trade paperback edition published by Contemporary Books. None of my copies have dust jackets.

I'm glad you got that. It was relisted at least once on eBay. I almost bought it both times it was listed. Not sure why I didn't. Glad it went to a good home.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like that Stephen King Encyclopedia. If you read it, please let us know what you think about it! I hate shrink wrap too, but I can rarely get myself to take it off. I prefer when books aren't shrink-wrapped so I don't have to give myself a headache trying to decide whether to remove it or not. My earliest King still in shrinkwrap is the signed & numbered WIZARD AND GLASS. Laugh at me if you will, I deserve it!

Because people can find way of having books shrinkwrapped again when they want to resell them, the shrinkwrap concept on eBay holds no allure anymore.

I had "read" the encyclopedia when it first came out. I thought it was very well put together. I think I donated my original copy to charity many years ago, when I got tired of moving my books with me every time I had to move. I did open this book, and the copyright page does states First Edition, First Printing of 3000 copies.

Can I take pics of the illustration pages and display them online? I thought I read in one of the other forums that I would need permission from the publisher due to copyrights. Unless I'm completely off-base....

Thanks, Eric! I had originally meant pics. of The Passage signature sheet, but enjoyed looking at the other ones as well. Congrats again!

I want your LEGACIES and NEVERWHERE limited editions.

Jerome? Can he post pics of the inside of the book?

Fine with me. If a person posts a picture of what they own, with no intent to copy and sell, I don't think it's a problem.

Chadbourne, once again, proves that he's one of the best artists to draw buildings.

No secrets here :-) I paid $145.00 for it. It is in great condition. The gilt lettering on the spine is complete, no spine lean, and the jacket I think has one tiny closed tear. If it weren't for the browning on the page edges, it would look like it just came off the shelf. I was thrilled to pick this one up.

I've got the Gauntlet book as well, and really like it.
There are about 30 signatures, from the likes of King, Bentley Little, Rex Miller, Piers Anthony and Karl Wagner.

And, i don't really know why, but I've always had a soft spot for that UK Wizard and Glass, even though it's a rather plain production.

Thanks. I don't know why I like the UK signed editions so much either. I think they just look good on the shelf. I just need the Insomnia S/L and I'll have all of them.

[cgallagh44]

So I thought I'd share my meager collection. I've only been collecting for about 10 months now, so I think I am off to a good start. The first case are all of my first editions (except for the bottom right shelf - just reprints and book clubs for now) and the other shelves are my s/l and gift editions. I have learned and continue to learn so much from the members on this board. I can't thank everyone enough. I look forward to more new acquisitions in the near future, although if I don't slow down, my wife will kill me.

[Randall Flagg]

I like the display. Congratulations.

[ELazansky]

Thanks, all. My collection certainly has grown since I took that picture over a year ago. Had to move some of the books off to different shelves for now. Here's what it looks like now:

SHELF 1 - Joe Hill S/L books, The Regulators S/L, and Justin Cronin S/L
SHELF 2 - Neil Gaiman S/L
SHELF 3 - DT Grant 1st and Artist Editions (except that lowly 3rd of The Gunslinger. Have to fix that soon)
SHELF 4 and 5 - King S/L's, my remarqued Duma Key, and a few other Gift Editions

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/Books1.jpg

These two shelves have other Gift Editions and various books

[Stockerlone]

NICE !!! A great collection !!

[Cook]

Nice collection,
I notice you have a few gaps here and there that need filling
Isn't that a shame.

Yeah, but if I fill the gaps too fast, I won't have a house to actually put everything in :)

A few new non-SK books, which probably won't mean anything if you don't follow baseball. (My apologies to Merlin, as I'm sure the thought of non-Yankee collectibles will make him ill :wtf:)

Bums - one of the two best books with the history of the Brooklyn Dodgers. S/l to 400 copies signed by the author and HOF'er Duke Snider:

The Boys of Summer - this is the other best history book. Came with a copy of Eight Men Out. Both are non-numbered but signed on the FFEP by each author:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheBoysofSummer.jpg

The Duke of Flatbush - this one I'm not sure of all the details. I had never seen another copy of this book anywhere, so I had to buy it. The limitation page has it numbered to 1000, and it is signed by Duke Snider and Bill Gilbert (the authors) on the title page. Just not sure if the sigs are part of the edition or if they were obtained afterwards. Either way I'm happy to have it:

LOL Actually Eric, my Dad was a big Brooklyn Dodger fan. Because he's my Dad (misguided as he may be) I bought him the front page of the Daily News from 1955 with the "Who's a Bum" Gallo caricature. I had it framed for him and he loves it!!!!

[ELazansky]

My dad grew up in Brooklyn. I loved hearing all of the old stories of how the players would actually walk to and from the games with the fans. The players were so approachable back then. It sounded like such a simpler time. Too bad sports aren't like that anymore.

[Ric]

Fantastic Eric! Those are great pick-ups for any baseball fan.

[stevohump]

Awesome collection....thank for all the pic.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I don't follow baseball anymore except for a quick glance at the standings once in a while, but those are nice books!

[Merlin1958]

You may appreciate this.....................

Such a classic image from '55...

[ELazansky]

Looks like I didn't add this one yet - Dark Dreamers S/L

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/DarkDreamers.jpg

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

When did that DARK DREAMERS come out?

[ELazansky]

When did that DARK DREAMERS come out?

It came out in 1990. I saw pictures of it sitting on RF's bookshelf and I thought it looked cool, so I hunted one down. It is a well-made book and quite beautiful.

[biomieg]

A gorgeous book!

[Merlin1958]

Looks like I didn't add this one yet - Dark Dreamers S/L

Very Elegant look to it!!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Patrick]

Loved getting caught up on your thread. Great collection, expertly photographed.

[ELazansky]

I thought I'd share some of my other non-SK and non-Neil Gaiman books. Always fun to look at books....

A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin (S/L) - I started reading A Game of Thrones after watching the mini-series on HBO. It was great, and so is the book so far. I have a lot of reading to do to catch up. You can't find the Sub Press S/L copies anywhere, but I was able to find this Voyager Press edition cheap:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/AFeastforCrows.jpg

Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer (S/L) - one of my favorite history books.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/WashingtonsCrossing.jpg

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey - The Dragonriders of Pern is one of my favorite fantasy series. This is the 30th anniversary edition of Dragonflight. It is numbered, and was then signed by the author at a book signing celebrating the release:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/Dragonflight.jpg

Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell (S/L) - I loved the Kay Scarpetta books when they first came out. Then the series got boring. The last few have been better. I guess you can only write so many novels with the same characters:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/UnnaturalExposure.jpg

The Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy (S/L) - I don't even read Clancy, but I found this edition for $29, so I had to buy it. I've seen it listed online for $200-$300:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheTeethoftheTiger.jpg

[jhanic]

To me, Clancy's Teeth of the Tiger was FAR inferior to all the other Jack Ryan books. As you may have guessed, I'm a Jack Ryan fan (and I know lots of you are not!).

John

[ELazansky]

Maybe that's why I found it for $29 :wtf: - I did read The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger. They were both very good.

[Stockerlone]

Nice new books !!! Dark Dreamers S/L is beautiful !!

[ELazansky]

So I finally finished 3 months of home renovations, and got my books loaded up on my brand new bookcases. Here we go:

[Jimimck]

So awesome!

[becca69]

Love your Ice & Fire books! I'm still looking for US 1sts of Game & Clash. Got the UK Deluxe editions which are nice and also scored a cheap copy of the UK limited of Crows like you have. I got lucky and was able to buy the Sub Press limited of Dragons thru their lottery. Can't wait to see that one!

Did you know if you send him bookplates, he will sign them for you... if you are interested. I just got mine back from him. Very exciting to get an envelope with his stamp on it :)

[Ricky]

Nice set-up, Eric!

I was fortunate enough to get AFFC from Sub Press, so I can get ADoD and then their new upcoming releases of AGoT and ACoK. Gonna have a big hole in the set since I will never be able to find the matching number of the ASoS that has already been issued....sigh

Did you just send him a generic bookplate or something specific?

[becca69]

Nice! So I'm hoping I can purchase AGOT & ACOK too. I've seen some S/Ls on ebay every now and then but they are way too pricey for me!!

I purchased acid free letter sized scrapbooking sticker paper, then I designed some bookplates specific for ASOIAF. Sent them with a SASE and he sent them back the other day. Very cool.

I can PM you the address if you want?

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/SalemsLot.jpg

I went for the "Silver on Black" labeling, but that's an awesome case, no?

Noticed you don't seem to go in for the, how should I say (alternate?) 1/1 edition, like Insomnia Red on white, white on red, Same with "The Tommyknockers". Just curious and not criticizing we all have our "rules:, but what's yours? LOL Also love that 3 author "Omnibus" you got tucked in pic #4, along with "The Passage!!!

Regardless, a truly awesome collection and dude, I love the renovated cases!!!!!

[ELazansky]

Thanks for the kind words. My space is limited, so I am trying to stay away from all of the cover variants. As long as I have one, I am happy.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Beautiful setup! Since your space is limited I'll gladly take some of those 'extras' off your hands. And I won't charge you too much either!

[Cook]

ELaz....... Very nice.
Your collection is amazing.
Congratulations.

[ELazansky]

A few new non-King related items for my somewhat eclectic collection:

Rambo: A Literary Profile - written by David Morrell, explaining the origins of Rambo. S/L 100 copies:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/Rambo.jpg

The Path Beyond the Seas by David McCullough - this one was just too weird to pass up. This leather-bound book was given to 400 passengers on a sailing of the Panama Canal in 1991. The limitation page has the name of the passengers the book was given to:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/ThePathBeyondtheSeas-LimPage.jpg

And finally...My Life S/L by President Bill Clinton. (Please don't begin a political debate in my thread. You are certainly entitled to your opinion on him and his politics, and I respect that opinion 100%. For me, it is my first Presidential signature, and I am happy to have the book in my collection. Thank you).

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/MyLife.jpg

[ELazansky]

I haven't been buying much lately. Trying to spend money or house remodeling. But this just came in for me:

First Blood by David Morrell - one of 100 S/L copies. This was his first novel and was the basis for the Rambo movies:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/FirstBlood.jpg

[Ben Staad]

Wonderful acquisitions-and great photo skills too.

I totally agree. I've tried that "angled" shot thing and I just cannot figure it out. Great new additions!

[Cook]

I really like that grant S/L "Prime evil"
Congratulations

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I agree with Ri- I mean Cook. That PRIME EVIL looks nicely foreboding.

[Merlin1958]

I agree with Ri- I mean Cook. That PRIME EVIL looks nicely foreboding.

Evokes a memory of "The Evil" in "Fifth Element", right?

[ELazansky]

Some new things:

Agents of Treachery (S/L 250 copies - part of my David Morrell collection)

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/AgentsofTreachery.jpg

The Laws of Our Fathers S/L

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheLawsofOurFathers.jpg

And for my John Grisham collection - The Client S/L. This is one of his 1st 4 books and they usually sell for $800 and up. Found one for under $400. I was thrilled. I'd show pic of my other Grisham books, but they are all done the exact same way by the publisher. Leatherbound, signed, etc.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheClient.jpg

[Stockerlone]

Great new books !!!

[WeDealInLead]

Glad to see another Keith Minion fan. It's For You is great. I bought one directly from him last year and he did a sketch in it for free.

[ELazansky]

Its For You was a great collection - and he did a sketch for me in my copy as well. He was very nice to speak to via email.

[ELazansky]

ELazansky,
Very nice Christine.... Might I inquire as to the number of limitation? :)
Such a cool book !

[ELazansky]

There were 1000 copies of the numbered edition. I am very happy to have find a copy at a reasonable price. The new S/L books are great, but having one of the classic books is fantastic.

The new S/L books are great, but having one of the classic books is fantastic.

So true! I don't collect S/L editions but it would surprise me if I don't get a couple eventually. And Christine is very high on my potential-want-list (as are EOTD and Firestarter).

Would have to concur wholly on your comment there Bill, SK can be an expensive wee addiction to have (but, what a joy it tis tho) :onfire:

[cit74]

finally took the time to look through your collection - very nice indeed - I love the Salem's lot case - I think I might have to ask if I can get one made as well

[Merlin1958]

You've missed out on the "Salem's Lot" with Chadbourne/Dameron art, but the Centipede press version is still available!!! Betts may have a Case Art edition still for sale if you hurry!!!

[ELazansky]

It has been forever since I updated my Collection thread, so here goes...this is mostly everything. Doesn't include my comics stuff or some other assorted items like my signed books.

If some of the pics look weird, I took one pic of each shelf. SO there is some overlap and some distorted views...not my best photo effort.

Fantastic adds! I want to give a shout out to Sean Phillips too, one of my favourite comic artists, and probably the best in the last two decades. His work with Brubaker is phenomenal!

[Brian861]

Very nice adds, Eric!

[biomieg]

I missed those great pics!

[cit74]

IST is staying in business because of me :-)

[cit74]

you and me both - any other good reads from IST lately? Although I still have plenty to read...

[ELazansky]

you and me both - any other good reads from IST lately? Although I still have plenty to read...

Let's see...what am I reading lately...

Kill or Be Killed
Uncanny
Vision
Black Magick

waiting on the new trades for Thief of Thieves, Invincible, The Walking Dead, Outcast and Lazarus

I did buy most of Brubaker's run on Captain America. He's awesome

And I started reading Morrison's Animal Man and Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing. Never read them when I was younger.

[Stockerlone]

Very nice new stuff !!!

[Lurker]

I thought about getting those Sanderson books - and now I'm going to have to think about it again. Looks really nice.
