Book Collection: Father Cody

[Father Cody]

Thank you all for having an interest in my collection. To me, half the fun of collecting is in the experience of fellowship among collectors. The other half, of course, is in the goods! Here are some of my favorite things in the world...

Nice!

Question - what is that IT between SKELETON CREW and MISERY? A custom slipcase?

Nice!

Thanks! Yes, it’s a slipcase by Jeff Whiley.

Lovely collection. Thanks for sharing.

Great collection, Adam. Some nice items there, especially the 'Rage' and the UK DT V sampler 'The Return of the King' -- they are quite scarce.

Thank you, Jon. I got lucky with the sampler, it came with a large purchase and I didn’t even realize what it was. I saw it in the seller’s picture and wanted it for my DT collection. We both took a guess at what it might be valued at and I think I paid $25 for it. He’s also who I bought ‘Rage’ from. One of the most pleasant book buying experiences I’ve had yet.

Hey Adam, nice to see a UK ed in there!
I agree in collecting, its like chlamydia, once you have it its hard to get rid of...

Thanks, Cook!! I’m having a blast going through all the others. Feels like being a kid in a candy store.

Big day for this collector. Thank you, Vigoran! The missing Long Walk to complete my Bachman paperback collection: check. First edition Night Shift in better condition than I could’ve ever hoped for: check!

Very nice stuff there. Bachman books and what looks to be a great copy of Nightshift. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Thanks, Mike. I’m ecstatic about them, especially Night Shift. I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me six months ago that I’d have a first edition NS.

Just saw you've started a collection thread here. Brilliant stuff, mate..! A lot of cornerstone King items here... And you know those bookshelves already need an expansion (at least there's room to go taller).

Very impressive.

Thanks, brother! I wouldn’t have known what those cornerstone items were without all the very much appreciated guidance by you and Chad. It’s a mystery to me that the two of you haven’t blocked me yet on Facebook! :lol:

Ugh, yeah bookshelves... the Constant Struggle. :lol: I checked out IKEA like you said and think I found the perfect solution. :thumbsup:

[jcmanske]

Love the new additions! I don't have either the Night Shift or the set of Bachman paperbacks. You are rocking it! Congratulations!

Let me get this straight... I have something you don’t?! I won’t lie, that feels pretty cool. Thanks for your reply, man, it makes these adds all the more exciting.



Nice new collection thread!
Thanks, Brian! Who needs Facebook when we’ve got collection threads! I don’t think I’ve even made a dent in viewing them all. :amazed:

[becca69]

Those Bachman books are very nice. I don't have them either. I should have gotten a set many years ago but I was not a PB collector. I've since changed my mind and the prices have rocketed.

Thanks, Becca! They definitely took some saving up for me. After the 10th or so trip to local thrift shops it finally sunk in that I’d have to bite the bullet and pay up, haha. Good luck with your hunt!

That Night Shift is gorgeous, too! Congrats!

I wasn’t going to post this but after looking through some of the other amazing collections that include magazines, ephemera, art, etc., I realized it may not be as irrelevant as I thought. If it is, please do tell me. The last thing I want to do is pollute the board with crap.

They’re replicas of the comic books seen in the Creepshow movies. The artist who made these had scanned the props used in the movies to create the prints for each of the combined 30+ full color pages. They’re not official, and they’re technically not limited (they’re made to order from an artist on Etsy), but I’ll be damned if they’re not cool as hell.

All in color for a dime! They look great.

[Father Cody]

Haha can’t pass up on savings like that! I’m glad you like them. Obviously not official, and some would argue they’re not collectible, but I’m happy with them.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

The rule of thumb is buy what you like, and not even think about what it's worth or what it might be worth in the future. Although I've never come across anyone who follows that rule yet.

[Father Cody]

That sounds dangerous, haha.

[herbertwest]

Those CREEPSHOW looks cool
What are those 30 pages then? Is THE RAFT somehow included in the graphic novel?

[Father Cody]

The artist put together two full replica comic books based on the comic books seen in the movies. Each one has multiple stories, and The Raft is included in the “Second Issue Collectors’ Edition” replica.

Here are the pages with The Raft. I’d post the links to the Etsy listings, but I’m not clear on all the rules here yet and don’t want to inadvertently break one.

I pretty much live by this rule. The reason I have all those Hill's inscribed to me lol. Their worth is only with the owner.

As far as your collection thread, Adammoro. Pretty much free reign to post whatever tickles your fancy. The thread reads My Stephen King Collection. Not even close in my case lol.

I thought I’d post my proof collection with it being Rare Proof Wednesday and all. I don’t have many, and what I do have probably doesn’t qualify as rare, but they’re part of my collection so here they are!

The Drawing of the Three, On Writing, Secretary of Dreams Vol. 2, Twice the Power, and Algernon Blackwood’s The Education of Uncle Paul.

Nice, Adam! Needful Things is one of my favorite SK books.

[MikeDuke]

Looks good to me. I only have two King proofs, although one of them is flat signed, so it's got that going for it. But that is a very nice collection.

[jcmanske]

Congratulations, Adam! You are off to a great start with your proof collection. Cool, old proof of "The Education of Uncle Paul."

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

What's the date on that Algernon Blackwood proof?

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Diggin' the proofs. Nicely done, dude

[jonp]

Some great proofs there, Adam. I particularly like the Twice the Power.

[Father Cody]

What's the date on that Algernon Blackwood proof?

I can’t find a date anywhere on the thing.

[Father Cody]

Nice, Adam! Needful Things is one of my favorite SK books.

Thanks, Brian! It’s still on my to-read list but I’m getting closer and closer. Really looking forward to it too. Leland Gant sounds like another home run King character.


Looks good to me. I only have two King proofs, although one of them is flat signed, so it's got that going for it. But that is a very nice collection.

Thank you, Mike. A flat signed proof...oh is that all? [emoji4] I’d probably trade all of these for one of those. In fact I’m not planning on collecting any more proofs for a while but if I come across a flat signed one I’d have to challenge that decision.


Congratulations, Adam! You are off to a great start with your proof collection. Cool, old proof of "The Education of Uncle Paul."

Thanks, John! The plan is (and was when I bought some of these) to pause on proofs until I have a few other goals completed but I couldn’t bring myself to pass on a Blackwood proof.


Diggin' the proofs. Nicely done, dude

Thanks bud :rock:


Some great proofs there, Adam. I particularly like the Twice the Power.

Thank you, Jon. Just picked up Twice the Power from another member here (I think he is at least) but did the sale through Facebook. It even came with a JW slipcase.

Edit: fixed some weird typos

[Father Cody]

Just in from peripheral, or, as I think I’m going to start calling him, the bad ass from down under. I hear these are pretty difficult to find in such good shape like this. Getting real close to completing my first editions goal now!

[Father Cody]

The one in the picture is 3rd state and the other two copies I have are 2nd state. Was hoping I had gotten lucky and one of the other two was a 1st state, but looks like I’m still on the hunt. Not sure it matters that much to me, at least for now. Just happy to have a NF/NF copy of any of them.

I am a little confused on what book this is referring too.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Awesome, dude. Yeah those jackets are notoriously fragile...good to see the Aussie Annihilator hooked ya up :thumbsup:

[MikeDuke]

OK. I am guessing it's your EOTD book. It does look great. Mine is pretty good I think. I haven't looked at it in a while.

[Father Cody]

Awesome, dude. Yeah those jackets are notoriously fragile...good to see the Aussie Annihilator hooked ya up [emoji106]

Thanks, bro. [emoji109] I’ll tell ya, between all the goods from you and the Terror from Down There, my collection is getting pretty solid. Just 15 or so more first editions to go!

[Father Cody]

OK. I am guessing it's your EOTD book. It does look great. Mine is pretty good I think. I haven't looked at it in a while.

You’re right, Mike. My bad, I forgot to quote the post I was replying to. Thanks! It’s a pretty neat dust jacket I think, but every one I could find had at least one defect I couldn’t overlook. Didn’t think I’d ever get one in such good shape. Now I’ve got to somehow manage to sell three copies that no one will want. :D

He's talking about Eyes of the Dragon. There are 3 printer variants. So, not really 'states' - at least not ordered ones (i.e. 1st, 2nd, etc which signifies one was before the other) as they were all released simultaneously.

[MikeDuke]

Got you Stroppy. I have one. I am pretty sure it's a 1\1 but I don't know if it's in as great shape as the one in the picture. It may have some fringing on the top of the DJ but I am happy with it. Now I have to look and see what state it is. I looked in first ed section and saw what you meant by three variant. Now I need to see what variant it is. I don't think I will go as crazy to try and find the other two. Having one that it is really nice shape is enough for me.

[Father Cody]

Here’s my Charles L. Grant collection. Peripheral recommended this author on Facebook a few months ago, and, although I hadn’t read anything by him yet, I started collecting. That’s probably something only a collector could understand— buying pricey editions of books you haven’t even read, that is. Since then I have read a bunch of his short stories and all I can say is I’m glad I’ve already made a dent in this collection.

The whole shebang:

Awesome Grant collection, Adam. You assembled that quickly. Such a unique voice in the horror cannon, one of the best. Very happy to have turned you onto him...

[Brian861]

Cool, Adam and very nice of you, Peri :evil:

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Very nice Grant selection! :thumbsup:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I'll Grant you, those are nice looking books.

BTW - I don't collect Grant books, but I do collect his wife's, Kathyrn Ptacek, who unfortunately doesn't seem to write much any more.

[Cordial Jim]

Yes! I'm feeling the love for Charles L. Grant! A Master! Great collection! :)

Hey Steve, what's Kathy like as a writer? Anything like Grant? (Sorry to hijack your thread with some Kathy discussion, Adam).

[Hunchback Jack]

She's often taken for Granted. :P

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I've never read much by Grant, so I can't say. As for Ptacek, I like her style, which can go from horror to erotic to fantasy. It's been a while since I've read anything by her. She's also written under pseudonyms, including some Romance novels, which are the only books of this type I've ever read.

[Brian861]

She's often taken for Granted. :P

:doh:

[Stockerlone]

Amazing Grant collection !!!

[Brice]

Love the Grant collection!

[Father Cody]

Thanks, Antoni. Really can't thank you enough for this recommendation. Already, Grant's sizing up to be one of my favorite authors. Being so underrated, I probably woudn't experienced his writing until much much later.


Cool, Adam and very nice of you, Peri :evil:

Thanks, Brian! Haha, yeah too nice according to my bank statements.


Very nice Grant selection! :thumbsup:

Thanks dude! Let me know when you read something of his will ya? Would like to hear your thoughts.


Yes! I'm feeling the love for Charles L. Grant! A Master! Great collection! :)

Thanks, Jim! It could be my lack of experience reading horror fiction but, man, his stories are so original and unique. The first one I read by him was about an old man's conversation with a Pan god figure on some coast off Greece. I thought I had the wrong book until the end. Then I read, "Through All His Blood Runs Shadow" and was hooked.


She's often taken for Granted. :P

:lol: good one


Amazing Grant collection !!!

Thanks, Stockerlone! Hoping to get more S/L's eventually!


Love the Grant collection!

Thanks, Brice! Me too. The cover art on these are, I don't know, just fun to look at I guess. Soemthing about them I just love.

[Merlin1958]

Awesome, my brother!!!! Really cool stuff!!! If you didn't employ that goofy avatar which literally haunts me in my sleep, you would be my hero!!!!!


Seriously, wonderful collection!!!! :clap::clap::clap:

Yes, i used to have quite a few of those. Unfortunately my collection is a shadow of what it once was. I'm posting this just cause I thought you might appreciate seeing this. I'll delete the pics out of your thread after you've had a chance to see it. I'd have just referred you to my thread, but it seems all of the images are dead. It's the only one I've ever seen and I haven't seen it in any bibliographies of Grant's work. I do still have this; though it's in storage in another state...

Whoa! Thanks for sharing that. I couldn’t find anything about it online except for its title listed among his works of short fiction. I assume he drew that banjo player? Looks like a remarque even. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for an opportunity to add that to my collection!

I've seen a later story by him in The Little Magazine listed in one or two lists of his shorts online, but not this story. I haven't looked in awhile though so it could be now or I could have failed in my search. At one point I'd contacted Kathryn Ptacek about it after he'd passed, but she only knew of another story he'd done for this magazine. The Banjo player is not a remarque; it's just printed in it I believe.

Hi Brice, I have restored all your thread images using the photobucket '~original' hack. I cant guarantee how long this will work (but it has lasted a while so far). moving images to the site gallery is the best option long term.

[TravelinJack]

Got confused for a bit, I thought someone copied your Avatar.

Fastest ordination I've ever seen (and I've never seen one).

Haha, sorry about that. Wanted a less boring username.

Thank you! :) I may copy what's left, but the bulk of my collection is scattered. I have maybe a hundred items left in storage in NC. I may upload them. I doubt I'll bother with the stuff I no longer have.

[Father Cody]

Thank you Chad for getting me into to the Dolso club! And a new collection goal: as many of these bad boys as I can afford.

My recently acquired Guy N. Smith collection. I wish I had enough room to face each one of these covers outward on the bookshelf.

[zelig]

This is very cool. I remember his paperback from back in the day.

I have the Centipede Press The Slime Beast - I started collecting their Vintage Horrors series. I actually have an extra because I obtained a matching set.

I hadn’t either until my recent 80’s horror paperback obsession kicked in. I blame Paperbacks from Hell.

[Father Cody]

This is very cool. I remember his paperback from back in the day.

Thanks, Paul. I only just learned about him recently but I can see how some of these covers leave an impression. Something about Slime Beast is just fun to look at for me.

Oh cool! I really need to get more familiar with Centipede, that series sounds amazing. If that extra is ever for sale, please set it next to that RP1 for me and I’ll buy it as soon as I can.

My Joe Hill collection is modest, but I thought I’d post it here if only to show off this snazzy new record.

I also like the bookends.

Not sure how I missed this, sorry. Glad you like them! They’re from Etsy. Closest thing I could find to Charlie the Choo Choo.

Thanks, Brian! Admittedly, I haven’t read any of his works yet. Was thinking I’d start with The Fireman. How do you think he stacks up against dad?

Apples and Oranges as far as compared to his father. Out of his novels, I probably like The Fireman the least. I'd highly recommend the Locke & Key Series, Horns, Heart-Shaped Box, Throttle, In the Tall Grass, Snapshot, and Loaded. I haven't read/listened to NOS4A2 (NOS4R2 UK) yet.

Just saw your reply in Jack’s thread. I hear you regarding the ire. In case it being for charity makes a difference, this one’s proceeds are going to TDT’s fundraiser:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F15 3018566369

Still pricey and still quite a bit of time left but thought I’d mention it just in case.

[Hunchback Jack]

Nice, Adam! It's a cool item.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Yeah, charity is okay, of course.

Still nothing like getting it from the original source. Somehow, I missed the announcement until after they were all gone.

I now proclaim the institution of a brand new charity - the ur2ndbiggestfan's greedy give me all your stuff charity. I'll just wait for the donations to pour in.

Okay, I'm waiting...I'm still waiting...yup, still waiting patiently here...

Decided to just use this thread for my entire collection instead of splitting things up into King vs. non-King. I’m sure I’ll eventually confuse myself or forget about the non-King thread anyway.

Here’s the start of my Robert McCammon collection. Thanks frik for trusting me with these beauties. I’ll take good care of them.

Thanks, Michaël! I couldn’t tell you why that is. Looks like Dark Harvest got him to budge possibly? Unless he used a fine point sharpie.


VERY nice Robert McCammon collection !!!

Thanks, Frank!!

[frik]

You're very welcome, Adam. Glad the books found a good home!

[TravelinJack]

Great McCammon Pick ups! Im a fan of his Dark Harvest S/Ls, Swan Song and They Thirst. Do you have a They Thirst DH copy?

[Father Cody]

You're very welcome, Adam. Glad the books found a good home!

They look great on the shelf. I’ll keep you updated on the final Corbett package.

Thanks, Luke! I don’t have the DH They Thirst unfortunately...yet. This Swan Song is definitely a beauty. There’s something special about the colors they used I think.

[Father Cody]

Suppose I better post some King books too every once in a while. Just added this cool little paperback with an old inscription.

Great Collection, love the Carrie and quite the impressive Robert Mccammon Collection!!!!

[ICry4Oy]

LOVE the Carrie!!! That date is the exact time I was in Germany (USAF) reading a Carrie paperback for the first time.

[MikeDuke]

Good stuff Adam. Some nice new adds and pics.

[Father Cody]

Great Collection, love the Carrie and quite the impressive Robert Mccammon Collection!!!!

Thank you!!! I love the Carrie, too. Coincidentally, I currently happen to be in the grip of a severe old school horror paperback obsession, so this Carrie truly is a pride and joy right now. Tied with the McCammon collection haha.


LOVE the Carrie!!! That date is the exact time I was in Germany (USAF) reading a Carrie paperback for the first time.

Wow really? That’s amazing. Thank you for serving, by the way. Always wished I’d had the balls to do it.


Good stuff Adam. Some nice new adds and pics.

Thanks, Mike! I’m glad I just saw your comment. I got sidetracked yesterday and never made it to your thread to look at your Night Shift inscription. This reminded me. Thanks again.

[Father Cody]

Had a nice surprise today. I ordered this reading copy on Amazon for $6 and ended up with my first inscribed Masterton book. I’m thinking it’s real because why would anyone fake a Masterton signature.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/ca13405e7758996518c6ae5e1755d811.jpg

[MikeDuke]

Man that is so cool. Just to make sure, maybe see if you can find other sigs of his to compare but I really hope that is real.

[Father Cody]

Thanks. I checked it against a couple Frank has in his thread and it looks good as far as I can tell. But I really have no idea.

Bizarre Adventures edition of “The Lawnmower Man”

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180604/1860c0bd71bbe511c48bcd1358e0f390.jpg

While I’m adding pictures and since I keep these stored near the smut magazines, here are what I think are the only promotional items in my collection. No idea where they originally came from but guessing these little plastic bags are from a bookstore during the Pet Sematary release..

Also think the Masterton sig is real, congrats Adam !!!
First time i see this Pet Sematary promo bag, very nice !!

[Father Cody]

Thanks Frank!! That was the confirmation o was hoping to get.

I lucked out with those promo bags. The F&SF DT magazines I ordered from Amazon a while back each came wrapped in one of those bags.

[Hunchback Jack]

Thanks, fellas! So after I took these pictures I opened the next package I had received yesterday. It was from Honky and guess what was inside?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180610/255d9e35c0ddc92f1b22ed4555594759.jpg

Is that a hell of a coincidence or what?! Gotta say, I’ve made some pretty damn amazing friends collecting King. As I’m sure some of you know, this isn’t a cheap book. Yet, unbeknownst to me, Chad just added it to the package with some books I bought from him.

@Chad Quite a gift, guacabrole. Very much appreciated. Now it’s my turn. :evil:

Love the signed Ready Player One! It's always been one of those novels I've been told was right up my alley, but just never seem to make time for. I did really enjoy the movie though, and can't wait to buy it on 4K. I understand they took a lot of liberties with the movie to make it more cinematic, so the book should be a different experience

[Hunchback Jack]

Congrats, Adam! Only Mister Slaughter to get and you'll have the whole set. Good hunting!

I heard something similar about the movie and book differing. Great idea to wait for 4K! I missed this in the theaters so I’ve been bummed about having to watch it in a lesser cinematic format. 4K, a sound bar, and a big TV will at least get me a lot closer to a theater experience though!


Congrats, Adam! Only Mister Slaughter to get and you'll have the whole set. Good hunting!Thank you!! Did you hear that McCammon finished the next Corbett book?

No, I hadn't heard that! We must stay tuned for publisher announcements!

[Father Cody]

Thanks guys! It’s really something special.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Fantastic!

So that's what that book looks like on the inside!

[Father Cody]

Thanks, Steve. I’ve only flipped through the back pages but there seems to be a lot of skeletons throughout for some reason. [emoji3]

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Yeah, it's definitely a bare bones book.

[Father Cody]

There’s a slight bump on the back board but no way I’m letting that get under my skin.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

UNDER THE SKIN is a very good movie.

[Hunchback Jack]

Congratulations, Adam! Fantastic stuff. I hope to be able to get a copy one day.

[Father Cody]

Thanks, HBJ! I hope you find one!

[MikeDuke]

You will get one Jack. Don't worry. It took me a long time to finally find one that was for sale.

BIG BIG CONGRATS ADAM, its a superbeautiful book !!!
Congrats, Adam!Thanks Frank and Brian! Finally wrapped it in Brodart yesterday. That’s such a nerve-racking process for me still.


Adam, did you get my reply to your PM?I did a few minutes ago and sent you a response. [emoji106]

What a beautiful freaking book! Nice score! I don't know about you, but I always get old school heavy metal vibes when I look at that artwork

Haha well now that you mention it! I always knew I wanted this book, but after actually holding it I have to say I think it’s my favorite.

Trust me, I know how cool this book is, but your loyalties of being your favorite will be tested when you get The Stand S\L :heart:.

Ha! I won’t argue with that. I hear the Centipede Press Salem’s Lot is also a big contender. Tell you what though, Mike. As of right now, an inscribed Night Shift might take the cake. [emoji3]

Yea, that Salem's Lot is supposed to be gorgeous. And what was that about and inscribed Night Shift? Well what do you know, I happen to be looking at one right now :rolleyes1: :D.

Oh I know it! Want to trade? :biggrin:

[Brian861]

Get a room, you two!! :)

[Father Cody]

Haha as long as he brings that Night Shift! [emoji23]

[MikeDuke]

All ready have the SC. Now if you wanted to trade that S\L IT.... Naw, on second thought, I will be keeping the Night Shift. Sorry . These seem so hard to find. But you are well on your way so don't worry. PLUS if I am not mistaken you have a S\L Misery. So as I said before, you have two of the ones on my must have list.

[Father Cody]

There was one on Betts not long ago but it just wasn’t in the cards for me then. Next time I’ll figure out a way, though.

[Father Cody]

I keep lucking out with signatures. My guess is the staff at this bookstore either didn’t see the sig or they thought it was a facsimile. It’s definitely not a facsimile as you can see the marker bled through the copyright page.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Nice, one of my favorite all-time novels.

[MikeDuke]

That's pretty cool. That's the second one like that where you got a book that had a surprise sig right? A big congrats on that. I hope you have more luck in the future.

[jonp]

What a great find, Adam. I finished reading the trilogy in May. I really enjoyed them.

[Father Cody]

Nice, one of my favorite all-time novels.Wow that’s saying something! I’ve heard great things all around about it until a couple days ago when someone called it shit. He didn’t explain why when I asked though, haha.


That's pretty cool. That's the second one like that where you got a book that had a surprise sig right? A big congrats on that. I hope you have more luck in the future.Thanks, bud. Yep, just a week or two ago I received a surprise Graham Masterton sig. My first of his, too! Trade both for your Night Shift? [emoji3]


What a great find, Adam. I finished reading the trilogy in May. I really enjoyed them.Thanks, Jon. I’m really looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while before I get to it, although I’m thinking about bumping it up on the to-read list on account of praise it gets. I don’t even know what it’s about, haha.

Sorry Adam. It just looks too good on my shelf :). But I like your tenacity.

[Hunchback Jack]

Congrats, Adam! That's a nice surprise.

I also like the series. Some really great ideas and characters, although it's a bit wordy. I have a signed copy of The Passage - but it cost me a lot more than eight bucks! :)

HBJ

Thanks, my friend. I’m ok with wordy if the payoff is there, and it sounds like there is. And I love good character development (probably why King is my favorite!).

Do you know what it’s valued at?

[Hunchback Jack]

Sorry, no idea. There are some inexpensive ones listed on ABE, but obviously condition is key.

You may have to hold off on buying that Ferrari though. Or trading it for a 1/1 Night Shift. ;)

[Lurker]

Is it the error or non-error printing? Errors start on page 268 and go thro 273 - bottom repeated on top of next page. Some people pay more the error one.

[Father Cody]

But, looks like mine doesn’t have that error. It’s kind of up in the air in terms of an error increasing value, right? I mean some errors increase value while some decrease value. Is that an accurate statement?

[Lurker]

I think in this case it's just because the "error" printing is considered the first. Apparently when they found it, most were pulped but some escaped into the wild. I guess it depends on how completist one is. I've been working on pricing excess stuff to get rid of and I would put a signed one at about 70 bucks.

[Father Cody]

Oh I see. Thanks. So the one with the error is the “true first edition.” I’m not a completist (yet) so I think this’ll do, but do you mean the “error” printing is around 70 or the regular?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I was confused until I realized you guys were talking about THE PASSAGE error. I had forgotten all about that.

[Stockerlone]

Congrats Adam for the nice signed Passage !!!

[Father Cody]

Congrats Adam for the nice signed Passage !!!

Thanks, Frank!! I think the best part of it is the fact that now I know there are possibly more hidden gems at this bookstore.

“The Light is the Darkness” by Laird Barron. S/L from Infernal House. Thanks, peripheral!

“Books of Blood” volumes 2-6. All first editions, all signed by Barker. Interesting how different his signature is in the last book.

[MikeDuke]

All great stuff. The light in the darkness is a real cool looking book.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I really like the look of the Barron book.

And I can honestly say (no offense intended) that I have never read a story by Clive Barker that I didn't dislike.

[Father Cody]

Thanks guys! You’re killing me, Steve. :lol: :lol:
