Got the second case put together last week and got Joe moved in with his dad on this dark, dreary day in the heartland. The landlord will get them each their own place when he can afford it :) Not all of the Hill stuff that I have but most of it.

Thanks, Jeff! A tremendous upgrade indeed! I still haven't gotten the PS Limited of Horns. Someday.

I got the case from Jeff Whiley.

[The Library Policeman]

The collection is looking great in those cases, Brian. Congratulations!

Very nice stuff, Brian. And I trust a Suntup Horns is in your future?

What's the small red slipcased Gollancz edition of heart shaped box?

[Stockerlone]

Supernice JH collection !!!

Very nice stuff, Brian. And I trust a Suntup Horns is in your future?

What's the small red slipcased Gollancz edition of heart shaped box?

Thanks, Peter! And yes, two are in my future. An AGE and the S/L :)

That edition of Heart Shaped Box is the 10th anniversary edition with a custom slipcase by Jeff Whiley. Simon was kind enough to get it signed for me while Hill was across the pond. Joe also doodled a heart in it.


Supernice JH collection !!!

Thanks, Frank!

That's really neat! My Hills are a bit of a hodgepodge of various S/Ls and signed US and UK trades. It needs some focus. I'm thinking I might weed out everything but S/Ls of the main fiction novels and story collections, and focus on UK signed trades. I like the Gollancz slipcased/signed editions when they do them, even though they are essentially the same as the trade.

We could all use more focus for sure! Me too of the Gollanczs.

Come. Take a sip. Then you'll know :evil:

The Black House DJ has some issues on the back but the book is in immaculate condition. The reason Glen went ahead and got it for me. I'll marry up a better DJ with it from one of the copies that I already have.

Gotta' love a wood slipcase.


Not me. I'm going to be frozen and revived ten million years from now by big brained, sex starved super women in a world where all the men have mysteriously vanished.

:lol:, Steve. I'm probably just going to go through the incinerator. Those full size body slipcases, although nice, are just too damn pricey.


Very nice, Brian. That Stories volume looks gorgeous. (And thumbs up for the UK Kings, as usual). HBJ

Thanks, Peter!

What's the story behind that case being different? Was it a prototype?


EDIT - Wait! I just checked mine, and it looks the same. Am I missing something here?

You own one? I designed that case with Dick. I was told only one exist. Dick has a prototype with two doors.

I wasn't aware he made another. If so, I owe Brian an apology.

Sorry, I am incredibly stupid sometimes. I thought he was talking about the JOYLAND slipcase.
Please forgive my dumbness!
I will now chastise myself with the horsehair whip.

Too bad. I liked it a lot. A modern day fair tale. But that's cool. I can see how it would not appeal to everyone.

Thanks, Alec! Agreed! I probably paid a little too much for it but it was a guaranteed first. I believe when they reissued IT, it was difficult to find a 1st. I still don't have one of those.
