Amazing collection and very nice web site.
I think you have spent a lot of time to setup it...compliment!

[funky dredd]

Very nice!

John

I would second that. :thumbsup:

[Brice]

You've amassed one hell of a nice collection in a relatively short amount of time dude. And you're site displaying them is great. :cool:

[Rahfa]

Impressive showing...I wish I had some numbers that matched up with yours!

[Sir_Boomme]

very nice...and nice presentation too.
i especially liked your mag collection - i'm jealous you have some of the gents that i don't yet.
thanks for sharing.

[wizardsrainbow]

Top-notch collection. Many special and rare. Excellent presentation too!

[Cutter]

Good collection Mr. Rabbit, you definitely have all the bases covered, as you got pretty much everything. It's a very nice collection... :thumbsup:

[herbertwest]

pretty nice!

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Thanks for the praise guys, especially as it was my first attempt at making up a webpage. :thumbsup:

[Patrick]

Beautiful collection, great website!

[idlewarnings]

That is an amazing collection. Great job with the website. Thanks for sharing.

[NeedfulKings]

Impressive!!!! :)

Hi,

A discussion began here that, with all good intentions, was getting way off topic of Mr. R.T.'s book collection. I've moved the relevant posts to the "King Books/Items Wanted" thread in the main Calvin's Corner forum area.

Thanks.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I am changing my collection to Signed Lettered and Numbered Editions.

[herbertwest]

and I remember that you only recently started collecting Proofs & S/L- Lettered...
Your collection grows pretty quickly, congrats!

Would it being "greedy" to ask pictures of your collection and display as in your house?
I'd LOOOVE to see it :drool:

[Randall Flagg]

On your listing for the lettered Skeleton Crew it says 1/26, I thought there were 52 lettered (and numerous PC's).

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

You are correct RF. It should be 1/52. A cut-and-paste typo I will correct later.

I'd love to show you it :), but I only have my trade editions on display. The good stuff is hidden away in wardrobes in my spare rooms at the moment.

I still have to convert one of my steadings into a gallery before I can display my books.

[herbertwest]

a whole steading as a gallery : that sounds awesome!

Hope you find time to convert it.... it will soon be summer (ok, scottish summer : less rain :unsure: )

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Here's a picture of my Trade first editions

Behind the US Trades are the UK ones. Every 6 months I change the display round.

[jhanic]

Very nice! I like the idea of switching them semi-annually!

John

[e_taylor]

Its a phenomenal idea for folks with space constraints!

Awesome collection too!

[turtlex]

Very impressive!!

[Randall Flagg]

Mr. Rabbit Trick always seems to have "something up his sleeve"
Great presentation and idea for constant change.

[Patrick]

Very nice, Mr. R.T., however I say, "Buy another bookcase!" :D

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Very nice, Mr. R.T., however I say, "Buy another bookcase!" :D

Okay Patrick, just for you I bought some. :)

Pictures on 1st post of the thread.

[carlosdetweiller]

Those look nice and you have already filled them up. Happens so quickly, doesn't it?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Far too quickly. I thought 3 bookcases would be enough, but I've got enough King books leftover to almost fill another. :pullhair:

[Brice]

Best get a couple more then. :)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Best get a couple more then. :)

Don't you start! :P I've spent all day chosing a new kitchen with the better half, and if I see another f*!$?ing piece of wood, someone will get clobbered. :beat:

[Brice]

Right! Then it can wait till tomorrow, I suppose. :P

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Tomorrow is another day :unsure:

[Brice]

Indeed! :D

[herbertwest]

really nice!

Beautiful collection Mr. RT :cool:

[burial]

Wonderful collection... I must say it's one of my favorites...
I love these book cabinets (and the content of course)...

Lovely...

[herbertwest]

Have a great Hogmanay yourself. Here's to the Auld Alliance :thumbsup:

Bet the train station was made from "girders". ;)

[The Library Policeman]

This collection is the pride of Scotland.:rock:

[king-collection]

Wow, great collection... is it the signed edition of the gunslinger?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Alan! A major acquisition!

John

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Got that a while ago John. I was only answering king-collection's question.

[jhanic]

Oh, okay. It's still nice!

John

[Stockerlone]

Beautiful Collection

[Patrick]

Looking at the limitation page of the S/L makes my 1st edition feel so inadequate.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Mine is inadequate as well. I don't have the Lettered. :)

:doh:

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

[frik]

What can I say that hasn't been said here. I love your collection and display. Wish I had the time to re-arrange my King-books. The only re-arranging I do is when I buy a new book and, as I have put my collection in chronological order, I have to find the correct spot and shove (ok - gently move) everything to the right a few inches over. What a hassle...:pullhair:

That's because to a collector, it ain't so much about storage as it is a challenge!!!! Right? Gotta fill it up!!!


Mr. Rabbit Trick Totally Awesome Collection. The Website is very inspiring!!!!



:clap::clap::clap:

[Shannon]

Just checked out your collection thread. VERY nice set up in the beginning! What does it look like now? :)

Shannon

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Several Lettered and Numbered editions added since then.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

WOW, I'm glad Shannon posted a reply. I somehow missed this thread before. I'm planning on spending some time here looking at all the fantastic lettered editions you have! The photos are very nice and clear. You have a very impressive collection.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Very nice RT, as everyone already said above this post, very impressive.

[Shannon]

Stop stalking me ur2ndbiggestfan! lol There isn't enough time in the day to look through and keep up with everyone's collection threads. But I want to ... so I am slowly working it, lol

[Cook]

My apologies to you Mr. Rabbit,
Apparently I've never perused your collection tread before, very nice.
I also noticed it's been awhile since you've posted... with mention of new lettered's ???
I would love to see more.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

[Cook]

Lettered Editions (http://www.akyle.f2s.com/lettered.html)

Yes, I understand what lettered editions are, :) I was prodding you to show them.

[biomieg]

It's a link (but the underlining doesn't work anymore since the new forum was implemented).

[Randall Flagg]

You can underline the hyperlink manually, it sucks but I haven't figured out how to change the entire forum to underline AND make blue hyperlinks.
FYI, code for blue is 1[1COLOR=#0000ff]1[/COLOR1]1 Leave the "1's" out

[Ben Eads]

Some of the pictures don't work anymore. = (

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Some of the pictures don't work anymore. = (

Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to sort it out.

[Ben Eads]

No worries. I can't wait to see the pics! :smile:

[Merlin1958]

Mr. R.T. always has the most interesting items!!!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

One of THE best collections of lettered editions EVER!

[Bad Penny]

That it most certainly is !!!! :smile:

[The Library Policeman]

Mr RT's collection is the pride of Scotland!

[herbertwest]

Nice!
Any pictures from the bookshelves on their all, and the library room? Surely it must be impressive :)

[MikeDuke]

Is there an easy way to see this collection. I can only find a few books and I would love to see the entire collection.
A link?
Thanks

[Merlin1958]

He's the regular, William Wallace of King collecting. Right Alan? lol

[peripheral]

Mr RT doesn't use a collection thread here, but his (incredible) collection can be found here (http://www.akyle.f2s.com/)...

[MikeDuke]

Wow. Thanks for the link Antoni. That is quite the collection. Very impressive indeed. A lot of rare items there.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I've looked at that collection before and I was almost literally knocked over.
Fabulous!

[MikeDuke]

The Twice the Power that is signed and that's the only one in the world!!! Double wow on that one. And some of those rare proofs. Like The Green Mile number 1. Incredible. I think I will be taking a closer look again at some time.

I sold my proofs collection years ago. These are the leftovers. Incidentally it's The Green Mile number 6 that is the rare one.

[MikeDuke]

Oh. Right. 6 was rare because King did not want too many people knowing the ending. My mistake. Besides the selling of the proofs, is the rest of the list up to date. Because if it is. it's damn impressive.
