Book Collection: zelig

[zelig]

Well, I haven't posted anything new for some time now. I've been giving my wallet a much needed vacation!

This book showed up the other day on Abe and I thought it was interesting. I've never seen it before and appears to be quite scarce. Maybe someone who knows more can chime in.

If my memory is correct, I believe Bruce has a Perma-Bound edition, but this is a Turtleback edition of Creepshow. I did some searching and don't see any available out there except one copy on the Amazon Marketplace for a ridiculous price of $9999.99.

And it is in amazing shape my man!

[jonp]

Congratulations, Paul. Missed you posting your new additions. The Creepshow looks in perfect condition.

[jcmanske]

Great addition, Paul! Congratulations!

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Never seen one like that before. Very cool Paul. Congrats!

Here is the PERMA-BOUND edition Have never seen Turtleback edition.. 1st thing I noticed it has a barcode on the back (Does it have a full # line 1-9 & FIRST PRINTING JULY 1982 on the copy right page?) I did a search on the barcode & came up with this info Demco Media 1990. two listed $4,269.91 & $10,003.98 also noticed like the PERMA-BOUND the TURTLEBACK is also printed right on the cover (meaning these covers are custom printed not just rebound original covers)

First printing, July 1982. 6th impression. I suspect these were bound using copies available at the time, which were at 6 on the numberline, or thereabouts.

[needfulthings]

In that case 1990 seems about right.

Interesting Turtleback, already on my wishlist for a long time.

[zelig]

Jon posted some pictures of a photocopy of the manuscript of "The Shine" and it reminded me of some photocopies I have and which I haven't really looked at for a really long time. I sort of forgot I had them until I saw Jon's post. I bought these from a dealer in the late 80's or early 90's.

According to Justin Brooks' Bibliography, this is the 2nd appearance of "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber", published as "In a Half-World of Terror" in the fanzine Stories of Suspense.

Someone here must have the original. Bob? As you can see, this was signed by King on 7/24/82. (Photocopy of original signature.)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7264_zps5rzhqn5a.jpg

The 2nd item I found (I actually don't even remember that I ever had this. I found it behind the one above in a plastic bag) is a copy of the short story "Slade", which according to the Bibliography, first appeared in The Summer Campus. This photocopy doesn't look like it was the print version, so I'm not sure what the background is behind this one. Maybe someone simply retyped the story, and then made copies.

I suspect that is a photocopy of King's manuscript for the story. It is one that has circulated among collectors for some time. The original in-print version was indeed The Summer Campus which was the title of The Maine Campus during the summer semesters. The story ran for 8 issues from June 11, 1970 through August 6, 1970. I have all of the "King's Garbage Truck" issues of The Maine Campus as well as most of the other ones with King's letters to the editor and nonfiction essays but I have never found any of the summer issues nor do I know of anyone who has. The issues with Slade are high on my want list and have been for years.

Yes, I have had three original copies of Stories of Suspense over the years but not that particular copy. Also, through David at Betts, I was able to get all three issues of Comics Review from 1964 that contained the serialized "I Was A Teen-Age Graverobber."

[zelig]

Thanks for the info Bob. Sounds like the Summer issues would be quite a find.

[The Library Policeman]

Those are pretty cool, Paul :)

[ke7285]

Nice stuff Paul, you guy's amaze me!

[jonp]

Those are pretty cool, Paul. I haven't seen those before.

Thank you all.

[webstar1000]

Thats cool!

[herbertwest]

Those copies are really cool !
I think someone here got the original copy as pictures were shown in this forum in the past and I saved them.

They also were in this thread

[jcmanske]

Another rare and desirable piece! Nicely done. I love hearing all the stories from Bob and other long time collectors regarding the history and different versions of an item.

[zelig]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[Ari_Racing]

I'm pretty sure I have some of those photocopies as well, but for Slade I'm almost sure that mine are different. I'll check it and reply.

Very nice!

[zelig]

Thanks Ari!

[zelig]

I have Simon to thank for this one. The U.K. End of Watch trade paperback, AKA the airport edition. Thanks again Simon!

Love that cover. Congrats, Paul! Simon has been gracious enough to go on a little shopping spree for me soon as well :).

[The Library Policeman]

Very nice indeed, Paul.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

So I've just spent the better part of an hour lost in your collection thread. Wow you have an absolute crap-ton of great stuff Paul! Alright going back to pick up where I left off on page 58 :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[zelig]

Thanks Brian and Alan! Chad, it's cool that you've been enjoying the thread and looking over the posts. I should do that myself sometime so I can be reminded of what I have!

It has been some time since I've posted anything new. I forgot how much fun it was receiving a box of books at the door, as it has been a while. This showed up today.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7418_zpskgqhxdhn.jpg

I forgot what I ordered as it was a number of items over a couple of months that were being accumulated. Thanks Jon for helping out with all this!!

On the Joe Hill front, a signed 1st UK of The Fireman, the red edge Waterstones edition (thanks Simon), promo postcard and bookmark. I must thank Tim (T-Dogz_AK47) for the bookmark. Thanks Tim! And thanks Jon for getting the book and postcard signed for me. Between you guys and Simon, I'm sure others will agree that for us over here in the US, you are always such a huge help for us when it comes to getting goodies from the UK So thank you!

[firemonkey66]

Nice stuff! There really is nothing like a box with a whole bunch of books in it. I need for more of those to show up at my door.

[Stockerlone]

GREAT new stuff Paul, CONGRATS !!!

[Brian861]

Hey!! That was supposed to be my Waterstones edition of The Fireman. WTH, Simon?! ;)

Very nice adds, Paul and completing agree about our UK brethren.

[jonp]

Very nice, Paul. I wondered what was in the two sealed packages. Now I know. The omnibus looks undamaged, I'm always concerned when they arrive with no packing and just a plastic shipping bag stretched over them.
I'm happy to help US based collectors, as you and many others help me out. I haven't been buying too much from the US recently due to the poor Sterling and now it's even worse. I'm sure it will bounce back and that things will eventually get back to normal. I remember a few years ago when I could get two dollars to one pound - the good old days when I bought most of my S/Ls!

[The Library Policeman]

Wonderful box of goodies Paul. I've also recently started collecting those omnibus editions. They look cool.
Congrats on the Joe Hill's too!

Nice work Jon & Tim & Simon.

[herbertwest]

Nice! And not easy to find them in 1st printings...

[zelig]

Nice! And not easy to find them in 1st printings...

I wasn't aware there were reprints of these. Now you made me check! Looks like they're first printings, although it would not be an issue for me on these if they weren't.

[biomieg]

There should be a numberline and/or a printing statement. I used to own all three editions - one was a 1st, one a later printing, and one a BCA. I hope I didn't ruin your day :(

[stroppygoblin]

Sit on the fence, you get splinters in your ass!!!

You know I got your back my friend :)

[zelig]

No day ruined. If they were later printings it wouldn't matter to me. These were published by Little, Brown and Company. No number lines and no indication of later printings. So appears to be first printings.

Here are the End of Watch editions I have. With the last few releases, I've been getting this same set of editions, so I kept it going with this one as well. The only one I'm missing is that UK proof sampler. (If anyone can hook me up, you know where to find me!)


US 1/1 Trade, US Proof, UK 1/1, WHSmith variant, UK trade paperback, Australian trade paperback (thanks James), Large print, Dutch numbered edition (#85), Dutch trade paperback.

Managed to find one of these proofs.

In Sunlight or in Shadow with the King story.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7449_zpsrbsepglc.jpg

And I was finally able to find all six pre-publication states of The Fireman. I'm not aware of any others.

US 1st State proof, US 2nd State proof, UK proof, UK Preview Sampler, Variant UK Preview Sampler, UK Extended Sampler. All signed by Joe except for the UK proof.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7450_zpspp8vsusp.jpg

[The Library Policeman]

Nice, Paul! Love all those copies of End Of Watch too.

Can I ask what the variant UK preview sampler entails? Not heard of that one.

For those interested in this sort of thing, there is a TV tie-in trade paperback of 11/22/63. This one also has an extra section at the back which isn't in earlier printings of the trade paperback.

Very cool man :thumbsup:

[Brian861]

Thanks for sharing, Paul. I enjoyed the series but have yet to read the book. Cool extras. I especially like the backstory by King. And of course he'd had be in a hearse when he heard the news....

[zelig]

Thanks Chad. And Brian you must read it. That book is one of my favorites. Loved it.

[Brian861]

It seems like the kinda story that'd I'd really enjoy. Might have to move it up in the TBR list.

For the paperback collectors. The MMP of Doctor Sleep is out this week. It has an EOW excerpt.

[zelig]

This was waiting for me when I got home today from a family lunch. I also have an interesting story to share about it. More to follow.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7548_zpspbpbnskk.jpg

[Brian861]

Well, let's have a look-see :)

[jonp]

Ah! Is that the EOTD Signed prints? Looking forward to seeing what's inside.

[zelig]

Working on it now.

[zelig]

Grab the Oreos.

There has been an interesting development with regard to the recent Palladini art auction on eBay. I was not able to talk to David prior to the end of the auction to verify whether the artwork shown in the listing was the original or not. I managed to connect with him over the phone a day or two after it ended, and I described the drawing to him. The scene with Peter and his best friend Ben Staad at the annual Farmer's Lawn Party where they were paired up in the three-legged sack race.

Based on that description over the phone, David said it could not be the original because he has the original.

It seems we all missed something, myself included. A few nights ago, I was paging through the book, looking at the artwork, and when I saw the sack race drawing, it hit me. It was different to the one in the auction.

The image on the right is from the book (page 32.) The one on the left is from the auction. Completely different.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7550_comp_zpsfwvvdwg2.jpg

This discovery obviously left me with some questions, although I had a feeling what was going on but I needed to verify it. Fortunately, I was able to visit David on Friday (happy to report that he is getting stronger every day since the heart attack), and I told him about this. I could not show him the actual pieces because they only arrived yesterday, so I took a printout of it.

When he first said it cannot be the original, that was based on the drawing that was published in the book. When he saw the one from the auction, he realized what it was and verified my suspicions.

This is an original drawing he did for the book, but ultimately it could not be used because the scene did not match what was described in the story. So he gave it to Deborah Brodie, who was the children's book editor at Viking, and who was heading up the EOTD project.

This set consists of three items. An original unpublished drawing of the sack race inscribed and signed by Palladini, and two New Year cards, one signed and inscribed by Stephen King and both signed and inscribed by Palladini. One of the cards has been colored.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7550_zpse7mqbtpe.jpg


A big surprise was the size of these. Based on the photos I'd seen in the listing, I thought the New Year cards were small. Sort of greeting card size. They are in fact about 18" x 14" and the drawing is about 11" x 17".

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7551_zpsmjr8lqzz.jpg

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7557_zpscvfi09xr.jpg

This one was colored by David. He originally thought he didn't but when he saw it, he remembered that he did.

[firemonkey66]

Wow, thank you for winning that auction and thus, being able to share that story! It's so funny that we all missed the obvious and didn't notice that it's not actually the illustration from the book! I'm so glad that it turned out to be original artwork. And how apropos that it should end up with you. Congratulations, Paul!

[sharki69]

Congrats buddy

[Lot guy]

Just seeing this now mate. WOW... I am so happy for you brother. I sincerely mean that... this is by far the coolest surprise I have seen on here in awhile! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tippy4]

Very nice Paul!

Congrats!

[zelig]

Thanks Simon, Kris and Rick!

A few new arrivals today.

This is the new FPM trade paperback, released today. A bit of a ding, but oh well.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7565_zpsxppdaxgm.jpg

Here's what has been released so far in the large format softcovers. Some under Scribner and the rest Gallery.

You don't see this slipcase much. It's one of the CD slipcases I was missing and have been looking for one for a long time. I think the only CD one I don't have now is the UTD traycase. This is for the U.K. Doctor Sleep.

[Brian861]

Nice adds, Paul! I recently picked up another CD UK Doctor Sleep slipcase as well.

[jreitan47]

Very nice Paul! I bought the paperback of IT that you have pictured as a reading copy. Much easier to read then the smaller, older mass market paperback and the 300 lb hardbacks.

Thanks Brian. Cool that you were able to find one.

Thanks Jonathan. It's a good one for reading. I recently listened to the audiobook of IT.

[Theli]

Nice grab in a tough to find slipcase. Nice PB set too, they look good together.

[stroppygoblin]

Congrats on the UK Dr Sleep slipcase Paul, Thats a hard one to track down.

Mine is of course sitting next to UTD in the CD traycase.... :evil: :nana: :Ball Kick:

But Simon.... do you have this one!?

:evil: :nana:

[Randall Flagg]

I have that one. I also have the more common white version.

[zelig]

I have that one. I also have the more common white version.

You're one of the few. I have the white one as well. Of the 10 black ones there are 6 or 7 forum members who have it that I know of.

[stroppygoblin]

No I don't have that one, BUT I do have one I designed myself, so I don't mind too much.

Now back to CD slipcases, you do know there's THREE different ones? :evil:

[zelig]

I like seeing them all together like that. Mine have the books in them and are all over the place. I have all of the ones pictured except the UTD traycase. And the Blaze which I don't want anyway.

[stroppygoblin]

Yeah, the Blaze is an 'Overlook special' I'm not enthralled by it either.

[carlosdetweiller]

Yeah, the Blaze is an 'Overlook special' I'm not enthralled by it either.

Perhaps you could get Dave Hinchberger to add a letter of "providence" to go with the Blaze slipcase.

[Theli]

An easy way to learn that word is to tell yourself it's not the city in Rhode Island.

[The Library Policeman]

Great stuff, Paul. Love those cases.

[jhanic]

I have one a black one.

John

[zelig]

Thanks Alan!

John

John! Great to see you here. Hope you're doing better. Take care!

[Brian861]

Thinking I might have a black one as well. I'll have to double check.

[zelig]

Thanks Jim. Poster arrived.

Thanks Jeff and Shac.

[zelig]

I'm not really in a buying mode as you've probably seen since I haven't had much to update here. I did get these in the other day. Thanks Jon for helping out with the shipping.

I have this proof, but I've never seen one with the publisher sticker so figured I'd add it to the collection.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7658_zpspzmenhsu.jpg

I thought this was a nice one to have even though I don't really collect items like this. It's the 28 page supplement that came with The Times promoting Lisey's Story. It includes an excerpt from the book, articles about King and an interview. Also some great photos.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/zelig7/IMG_7657_zpsxizptnnd.jpg

[Brian861]

Very nice, Paul! I WANT THAT TIMES! :)

[zelig]

Very nice, Paul! I WANT THAT TIMES! :)

Thanks Jonathan. Man, if anyone had this I though it would be you! If I happen to see another one I will let you know.

[jonp]

Glad they arrived OK. I wondered what was in the flat packet. Very nice. I haven't seen that Times article before. Congratulations Paul.

[carlosdetweiller]

That supplement to The London Times had a few sellers on eBay shortly after it was published in 2006. I recall most sold in the $15 to $20 range with some a little more and some a little less. I haven't seen one for sale in a long time. It is hard for me to believe that it has already been 10 years since Lisey's Story was published.

I cant believe its been 10 years since I first stood in a (long) line to see Stephen King in the UK!

[biomieg]

I got one of those London Times supplements from Barry McGee when he sold his collection a few years ago. Haven't seen any for sale since. Congrats!

[jreitan47]

I must have been taking a collecting break during the time the newspaper supplement was released but I've seen them here and there and will snag one some day!

[zelig]

I paid $8.56 for this one, plus shipping. And yeah, 10 years have gone by fast...

Must have been fun Simon... I was in a collecting hiatus at the time so missed it all.

Sure you have. You did it a while ago when you and a buddy did the Iron Man run.

[zelig]

Or that time when he needed a bathroom break.

Or that time when he needed a bathroom break.

Both true. And I did sleep for a couple of hours last night. (But I dreamed of Charlie Choo-Choo.)

Very cool addition Paul. I like the photo on the cover.

Love the Buick 8 ARC, Paul. Very nice!

A couple hours! I must learn your secret.

Thanks Dan. I must remember to post a scan of the picture that appears inside the paper from a different angle.

Here you go. A couple of nice photos from the paper.

I'll have to dig out the pic some day. Marsha let us in cause the King was away. Framed movie posters in the halls and the book "warehouse" in back filled to capacity with every foreign edition known to man (and this was 10 years ago, I can't imagine what it looks like now!).

[zelig]

A couple of promo items here.

I got lucky with this one. After seeing Jonathan post it in his thread, I was able to get one from the seller. It looks to me that this was a promo made for the Australian market. Not sure if it was also available in the UK or not.

Finders Keepers was favorite of the three, so I had to have this promo. It was given away by the Korean publisher to contest winners. You can learn more here (http://www.liljas-library.com/article.php?id=4993) at Lilja's.

Picked this up the other day. I didn't know of this book with the King introduction, and have never seen a proof of it. Anyone else seen this proof or have one?

[Ari_Racing]

I had a copy. I sold it with most of my proofs years ago. Interesting essay by King.

[zelig]

Okay thanks.

[herbertwest]

If I remember correctly, the french book was published by 1990, and translated to english with the introduction by King circa 2003.

[carlosdetweiller]

I had six or seven of those proofs at one time (when the book came out) and sold all but a couple on eBay. I think the intro by King is really good. It could almost be a stand alone short story.

[zelig]

It has been quite some time since I last posted anything here. I haven't really been buying much so nothing post worthy.

I did pick this up though the other day for a really good price and couldn't pass it up. I've been looking for this proof for a long time. I haven't seen it for sale since I started collecting proofs and it has always been missing from my collection. I was also lucky that this copy included the publisher letter.

[jonp]

Very nice, Paul. That's one you don't see that often. I still need that one, but I have never seen it up for sale.

I wonder how many were produced, as the UK proof of 200 copies is seen fairly regularly up for sale. So Scribner proof must be quite scarce.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats Paul for this hard to find Proof !!!

[zelig]

Thank you all for your comments. Much appreciated!

[zelig]

There was some discussion about a Canadian trade paperback of End of Watch. I don't remember who posted about it and the ISBN, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. This just arrived. I don't think there was one for Mr. Mercedes.

http://zelig.io/images/sk/IMG_8991.jpg

http://zelig.io/images/sk/IMG_8994.jpg

And if I'm not mistaken there was also some discussion about the UK Book Club edition of The Dark Half being released before the US trade edition? I could be wrong. But here's the UK BCE edition with the 1st trade edition.

http://zelig.io/images/sk/IMG_8995.jpg

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Very cool dude

[Brian861]

Like the cover on EOW. Is the Dark Half on the right the 1st Trade Edition, Paul? And nice adds btw!

[zelig]

Very cool dude

Thanks Chad.

Thanks Brian. The 1st edition is on the left and the book club is on the right.

[Theli]

Nice adds Paul. I wonder if there is anyway to tell the difference between later printed BCE and the time of release copies.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, very nice covers on EOW + FK !!!
Who is the artist ?

[zelig]

Congrats, very nice covers on EOW + FK !!!

Didn't see this Frank until now. Looks like the artist's name is Tony Mauro.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I am like SO behind on people's collections viewing. Nice UTD proof, one of my favorite King novels.

[peripheral]

Yet again some nice adds! And I didn't know about the Dark half BCE being the true 1st, would love anyone to confirm this...?

[Father Cody]

Had a feeling this collection would impress and I wasn’t wrong.

Looks like you have resurrected the dead here. I have not looked at this thread for a long time. Kinda forgot it was there. It's a miracle the pictures are still showing since they are hosted at pbucket.

I guess since I'm here, I can share this. I finally got it framed. Original painting for Misery by Robert Giusti. It is a 14" x 18" acrylic on canvas. A cool print is available from these guys: Misery Art Print (https://shop.suntup.press/collections/the-covers-collection-individual-prints/products/misery-fine-art-print). :lol:

[Father Cody]

Lol I was about to ask if you were doing one as I’d rather give you the business...then I clicked the link :doh:

Let me ask since we’re on the subject, is there a difference between a “fine art print” and The Shining poster? Asking because of the price difference. Either way, I’m looking forward to buying a Misery and IT print as soon as I pause my never ending book buying spree. If you wouldn’t mind putting a copy of each off to the side for me... kidding :)

Glad to have resurrected this thread! Looking forward to seeing any of your new adds.

[Merlin1958]

Haven't tormented me with a decadent dessert in a while, Paul!!!! LOL You go on a diet? LOL

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Love the Misery painting, I think I'm its 2nd biggest admirer.

[Ricky]

:drool:

[zelig]

Thanks Steve, Ricky....


Let me ask since we’re on the subject, is there a difference between a “fine art print” and The Shining poster?

Yup, the posters are not signed, and are not limited. They are also printed on a 'glossy' photographic paper. The art prints are giclée prints that are signed and limited, and are printed on 300gsm cotton paper. You can check out the descriptions for more details.


Haven't tormented me with a decadent dessert in a while, Paul!!!! LOL You go on a diet? LOL

No, but I need to. I've put on some weight. Here's one reason, and also just because it has been too long since I have tormented you. These were taken during my trip to the East Coast last year.



Hot chocolate from a famous deli in Brooklyn. I can't remember the name now.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1-.JPG

Don't remember where this was.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-.JPG

'Loopy Doopy' drink at the Rooftop Bar of the Conrad Hotel. You get a popsicle in a glass of wine. This was downtown NY.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3-.JPG

This was a frozen yogurt if I recall.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/4-.JPG

I think this one was that famous bakery. Can't remember the name. Rebecca will know.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/5-.JPG

And finally, world famous Dysart's Truck Stop in Bangor, and the Blueberry Pie.
