Your New Pride and Joy!

I don't normally do remarques, but have received this and the one from Vincent Chong, and they are great.

See how it could become quite addictive.

[bdwyer19]

Received this a short time ago. Absolutely love it..

Shannon, you sir, should be making more of these. I know you have had a hard journey after this book, but I think it is excellent.

And my Remarque is out of this world!

Very nice! Who is the artist?

[peripheral]

Me too, don't normally go for remarques but I love this one...

[Randall Flagg]

Allen Koszowski from what I think is the signature on the art.

[Randall Flagg]

Even if it's "John Doe", I think it's fantastic and covet it.

[Fsmdr]

Wow! That's not a remarque but a complete artwork in that book.

I am the proud owner of one of the original metal Gunslinger slipcase. This is a piece of art in it self! Pictured with a second print Gunslinger, is a nice addition for my s/l of The Gunslinger which does not have the original slipcase for it.

[Randall Flagg]

Congratulations. You are one of the very few people in the world to own one.

This unexpectedly happened today. By sheer chance I was able to attend the IX Preview Weekend Pop Up exhibit at the Delaware Art Museum which is just minutes away from me. I was trying to purchase a Whelan "gemlin" last week at the exact time their site expired. By the time I got back in the site, the painting was sold. Audrey was super nice and offered me a piece he did today, and the paint is still wet. I thought this looked like a combination Dark Man/Young Roland and Michael said he had the Dark Man in his mind but it really didn't work out.

If anyone has suggestions on frame ideas, I would love to hear them.

Here are copies of the S/L editions of THE TALISMAN and BLACK HOUSE with matching numbers. I'm normally not a big numbers guy but I couldn't resist these with matching #1's. Besides being pretty cool (I think) I am hoping that if THE TALISMAN 3 is published as an S/L by Grant that I will be allowed to get the matching number.

[tippy4]

Very nice indeed Bob.

I think you will have a tough fight with the person who bought The Wind Through The Keyhole #1......

I do recall Grant giving the option to match Black House to a Talisman if you owned an S/L DT4.....so who knows?

Well that stinks as my Black House and Talisman do match but they aren't the same number as my DT set :(

[carlosdetweiller]

I do recall Grant giving the option to match Black House to a Talisman if you owned an S/L DT4.....so who knows?

I remember being able to match my Black House to my Talisman and there was no requirement or connection to the DT series. My matching Talisman and BH number is nowhere near any of my DT books.

I don't think I am up to the challenge. The Talisman and Black House #'s 1 just kind of fell into my lap. They popped up on ABE and I bought them impulsively. No number is really any more rare than another number but there is something about #1 that gives it a coolness factor that no other number can match.
I do think that if there is a Talisman 3 and if Grant is allowed to do an S/L that it will be marketed as a Talisman book and not necessarily as a DT book. I'm pretty sure that is how Robert did it with Black House although I freely admit that my memory is not 100% on that.

[zelig]

Congratulations all. I also think it's cool to have a #1.

So some of you may know that I was able to score a signed BOBD earlier this year. Well, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do and I was able to trade my copy for a new car.

"For the hell of it"...:scared:

Shrink off, every time... (Unless the plan is to resell within the next few months - or donate them to me - then keep shrink on please).

Agreed; take the shrinkwrap off. Paper needs to breathe, and if there was any humidity where it was stored previously, keeping the shrinkwrap on just traps the moisture and creates a breeding ground for mildew. (Don't ask me how I know :frown2: ) Plus, while there may be a number stick on the wrap, that doesn't necessarily confirm that that number is duplicated in the book (or if there are other problems, like uncut pages, bad binding issues, ink splots, etc.)...only a visual inspection confirms that.

I can't believe that the shrinkwraps adds much to the value in the long run (given that it can be added after-the-fact at any Kinkos or similar outfit), but it can ruin the value if moisture is trapped or if it is hiding other issues.

Clackamas Literary Review from 2001 Volume V featuring Hill's story "The Saved".
The book eluded me for years and I knew a guy in the UK who would not sell his copy for $1500 or more.
Because I've never seen a copy so I tried to buy it. He changed his mind.
I found a copy on EBay-hard to believe- beautiful shape.
Incredible bargain also.
Arrived today. Excellent shape!
Very happy!

A week ago, I found a fine copy of the Gunslinger (2nd Printing) for $54 out the door.

Sweet!

I have a book en-route to me right now, it's either the best deal of my life or I have wasted less than the price of a takeaway coffee! I'll update this thread either way!

I don't think I'll ever own a S/L copy of The Gunslinger, at least not in the near future, but I aim to have only that one missing from my DT S/L set.

Last year I found an online bookstore with these Grant editions for sale:
THE DARK TOWER IV: Wizard and Glass. - $24.00
THE DARK TOWER III: The Waste Lands. - $35.00

Needless to say, I picked those up very fast.

Ah! I'd forgotten about posting that...

Nah, turned out to be worthless. It was what looked like a 1st UK edition of the Shining. Saw it right at the end of the auction, no time for questions, from a seller who clearly didn't sell many books, so might not have known what they had. It was pennies, so worth a punt! :)

Turned out to be a BCE

There is a little water stain by the signature, but I am otherwise happy.

I already own two of these, and unlike the other two, this one does not have a stamp and mailing address on the other side....so I have to assume it was put into an envelope and mailed off.

Anyone else have one like this?

[surly]

since there are no secretary initials, im guessing that means it was typed by the man himself.
i think that makes it extra cool, and i always wanted one of those. thanks for sharing, i like that one a lot.

There was an article by David McDonnell with the title "The once and future King" where there are some comments by King about that hypotetical sequel. Ben and Mark are living in England and they start to receive calls from his mother saying she's alive. And Callahan was in another city in USA and an almost-dead man approaches him and asks him to bless him. When Callahan tells him he's no longer a priest, the person tells him that it's not over in Salem's Lot.

[Ari_Racing]

Found it!


. . . I know what the sequel will be. It's just a question of when I find the time . . .

Should I give you a preview? Ben Mears and [Mark Petrie] are now living in England, where Ben is doing the screenplay to one of his books . . . [Mark's] in school. While Ben is in his studio, [Mark] comes home, makes dinner and begins to get calls via transatlantic cable - from his mother.

'I'm still alive . . .' she says. 'You must come back to the Lot . . . They're hurting me.' And eventually he does go back. Ben follows him.

Father Callahan will come back, too. He's working in a Detroit soup kitchen, and this dying bum comes in: 'Father, you've got to bless me.' 'I'm not a priest anymore,' he says. The bum is gugling out his last words, 'It's not over in Salem's Lot yet.' And believe me, it isn't! (52)²

Spring cleaning that included inventorying some of my SK items. I found this set about a decade ago and didn't think there were many collector's who had the #1 (or "A") of the deluxe edition and #1 of the numbered edition. I don't own a copy of the black I of XV edition. It's on the back burner of the bucket list, though. I hope that the pics are decent. I'll have more pics of signed copies that you don't often see very soon.

Good morning John.
The last thing I would want to participate in is Spring cleaning. However if it meant looking at copies like these I would gladly volunteer.
What a superb pair of books, an absolute pleasure to see them together. If these are in hiding to be discovered with the cleaning, what have you actually got on the shelves!!
Fantastic information.
Many thanks.
Alec.

Well that's a tough act to follow, so I'm not even going to pretend to compete, but another day...

Yeah, I was referring to the signed version, which is limited to 100 copies, none of which were actually sold to the public, at least so far as I know. The regular FS edition is most likely going to be one of the cheapest "Limited" editions on the market.

I don't own a copy of the black I of XV edition. It's on the back burner of the bucket list, though. I hope that the pics are decent. I'll have more pics of signed copies that you don't often see very soon.

I knew someone would usurp my NEW P&J.
Thanks Johnny007.
Great stuff but it should have been in your collection thread if it's been sitting around for a decade to be inventoried.


<----------------Tucks tail between legs and says "fuck it, why bother trying to show something BRAND NEW", of course someone would "collect block" me.


You big baby!!! LOL LOL

Okay, now everyone at once.............................................. ....................

I opened the cardboard box (crate...) to find this

[tippy4]

Is it addressed to Julia Carpenter at Horlicks University?

[Randall Flagg]

Better view with the bubble wrap pulled aside:

All things come to he who waits....bills etc.

Having seen these cases before I know what it is.

Congratulations RF!

(Checks thread) There's a box
(Checks thread again) There's another box
(Checks again) Maybe a reveal???????

[surly]

oh man, is that...I think that's...ohhh this is gonna be good...

[Randall Flagg]

You know that when there are three pages of instructions for opening the "art", that it will be fun.

An added complexity is when UPS calls and wants either your Federal Taxpayer I.D, or your Social Security Number.

Then there is the amount due upon delivery.

First time I have every given a cheque to a UPS driver...

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Oh.......CK.....got it.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Ahhhhhhh

[Randall Flagg]

Oh.......CK.....got it.
Wasn't very tough...I just had to avoid (with previous notice) the $10K book here, and the $10K "Salem's Lot book....or two there, all the while hoping no one popped in with a King signed Charlie The Choo-Choo-...or a "new" 1st state 'Salem' Lot DJ...or an original Whelan $50K Dark Tower painting.

Rough around here (should use smiley emoticon to indicate humor, but fearful of Bob spanking me...)

Congrats RF! It's an amazing piece to see up close isn't it?

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Yep, Its gorgeous. Congrats man!

[peripheral]

Ohhhhh f**k me... they're here.

Stunning.

[Randall Flagg]

Congrats RF! It's an amazing piece to see up close isn't it?
It's incredibly heavy.
I tried to take it to the local pub to show it off, but couldn't carry it the the entire Kilometer whilst holding it above my head.

[Randall Flagg]

I'm trying to figure out what number/letter I have.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Very nice piece. Congrats!

[bdwyer19]

Beautiful!! Congrats RF!!

[Randall Flagg]

Beautiful!! Congrats RF!!
Thanks.
I appreciate having 15 minutes of fame.

After 15 minutes from this post, feel free to (of course), top my new P&J.

[carlosdetweiller]

Congratulations, Jerome! It looks beautiful.

[idlewarnings]

Very nice, RF.

[firemonkey66]

Wow, an impressive piece! Congrats, RF!

[jcmanske]

I love it, too, RF. Definitely suffering from a case of collector's envy. Rachel did an amazing job. Congratulations!!!

[dnemec]

Congrats, Jerome! That is gorgeous!

Jerome, I'm speechless. That's one item I was really looking forward to purchase but when the price was announced it was twice my savings and the max money I could afford (to make the comparison, it's 40K Argentinean pesos, more than my montly salary). It was one of the tougher things to see the price and say "alright, can't afford it...".

And congratulations, Jseltor! Is it a postcard?

[herbertwest]

Come on Jerome, we want to know what did you get from Steve's office !
Who told you it's from there?

A wrong educated guess.

Sweet! I was actually wondering the other day if anybody ordered one as we didn't see any yet...

[bdwyer19]

Super excited to add The Stand #595 to my collection. I never thought I'd own this book! Once I got through all the packaging (well done, David!), I was blown away by how big the coffin case and book were. Love it!!

Congrats!

That book is soo impressive in person. You're lucky to own one! Congrats!

[Randall Flagg]

Congrats on The Stand S/L.

The Stand Coffin edition is always a favourite and very happy to see another member here getting one. :thumbsup:

Folks:

I received the following bad reputation for my recent posting "Not cool posting "spring cleaning" in wrong thread." Not cool? OK, I'll stop posting because I don't want to post in the wrong thread. I don't post often so this won't be any loss and then...well, enough said.

I'll provide my personal e-mail address to a few people here and those who want to contact me may do so. WTH, here it is for those who want it jscheidegger2000@gmail.com. It's been real.

[stroppygoblin]

I've no idea who is posting negative rep for this kind of crap, but if it means that respected collectors no longer post because of it, then lets just get rid of it. It serves no purpose, it pi$$es people off and the anonymity means there are no repercussions. It's tantamount to trolling IMHO.

:angry:thumbsdownsmall

EDIT: and let be the first of many John, who say, rise above this and keep posting!

[tippy4]

Whoever sent that anonymous repuatation comment is a tool.

That said, don't make a hasty decision because one knucklehead pissed in your Wheaties today.

The anonymous reputation comment feature really needs to be reviewed, and hopefully eliminated.

Stick around Johnny...we're not all a bunch of Nazis.

Not sure who left that for you but it's completely ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as that shit that pushed Mark and Gerald away from the forum.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

John

Don't leave the therapy group. Where else can you hang out with a bunch of nuts that fill each others minds with useless mind blowing information about King?

Mulleins

[firemonkey66]

I agree, Johnny007, don't stop posting (especially awesome stuff like your spring cleaning find) just because some doorknob doesn't like your choice of thread. I am also going to echo what's already been said by a few others: the reputation feature should be turned off altogether.

[becca69]

Yes, the negative feedback feature should be removed. What's the point? If you can't say something nice then at least own up to it.

[becca69]

http://www.thedarktower.org/custom/images/1476400312-CK%20on%20box.JPG

Wow! Did it come in a metal case?

[webstar1000]

I would call on the site mediators to reveal who it was... that is pig. TOTALLY pig.... shame on you whoever it was...

[bdwyer19]

100% agree. I'm definitely not a fan of the anonymous feature.

[tippy4]

I think you mean reputation....not feedback.

I like the rep feature, just not the negative rep. Can it revert back to the way it used to be with only positive rep?

[bdwyer19]

Thanks for all the great comments on my new P&J! Now I just need to get a stand for The Stand, so that I can properly display it.
