Your New Pride and Joy!

[Patrick]

Nice, John!

[jhanic]

I just looked closely at the pictures I posted and it looks as if my scanner may be going south. The book itself does not have that textured pattern that shows in the pictures. I'll be doing some tests, but it looks as if I'll have to get a new scanner.

John

[artan]

jhanic,

really an amazing proof!!! Congrats!!!

:rock:

PS: ...And good luck with the scanner :)

[biomieg]

Love it, John! Is this the second HP proof you got, or do you have more?

My upcoming new prides & joys (pictures will follow when they have physically arrived):

1) Io magazine (with 'Brooklyn August") - my second pre-Carrie publication :) - got it for $76 which I think is not too bad!
2) Lisey's Story numbered UK proof
3) Hearts In Atlantis ARC with playing cards and publisher's letter... sorry Ari!

[jhanic]

Ye, this is the second Harry Potter proof I have now, Prisoner of Azkaban and Chamber of Secrets. Both are US proofs. The other HP proofs (such as those listed on ABE) are much too expensive for me. I keep checking, though, in case someone makes a mistake.

That's a great price on the Io magazine, and congratulations on the other acquisitions.

John

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Yes, great price on the Io magazine. I got mine from Betts, and it cost $100.

[biomieg]

Thanks guys!


I keep checking, though, in case someone makes a mistake.

That's actually what I'm doing all the time :) I don't have the financial means to pay premium prices for premium items, so I just have to watch and wait for stuff like the Io mag (or the Startling Mystery mag with the Reaper's Image, for which I paid ridiculously little)... there's a ton of stuff I still want but I mostly depend on the listings that sort of 'fall through the cracks'.

[oy-the-brave]

I received a sketchbook today from Zach McCain, it's a standard 9 X 12 artist sketchbook that he used for preliminary sketches in 2008 through 2009. It has about 150 sketches ranging from small illios to full size cover preliminaries. I recognize many variations on small press covers he has done' as well as many prelims and unused ideas for the SK art book (3 Lord Malshun, 2 Pennywise, 3 or 4 from Cell, 1 from Lawnmower Man, 1 Roland and I think 1 CK and 1 Mordred). It is an incredible insight into an artists creative process and has become one of my favorite items.

Sounds facinating. A whole sketchbook, you say?. That's a lot of prelims. Would love to see any of the King related ones if you happen to take pictures of it.

[carlosdetweiller]

The sketchbook sounds really interesting, Dave. Like Juliana, I would like to see a few of the sketches when you can get around to it.

My latest acquisitions:

SECRETARY OF DREAMS VOLUME ONE SGND LTD for $213
POSTSCRIPTS #10 S/L OOP SGND BY STEPHEN KING & JOE HILL for $90
STEPHEN KING GREEN MILE GIFT EDITON H/C 6 VOLS/SLIPCASE for $127
Stephen King Under The Dome UK SIGNED LIMITED EDITION for $303
Hearts in Atlantis ARC for $20
On Writing ARC for $15

[jhanic]

Those are some great prices! Congratulations!

John

[Sam]

That is an OUTSTANDING deal on The Green Mile. I think that's less than what I paid the publisher when it came out.

[jhanic]

Price of the Green Mile gift edition from Sub Press was $150.

John

[Sam]

That's what I thought I had paid. Damn. And I mean that in a good way.

[Eric719691]

I knew that I got a good price on Green Mile and Secretary of Dreams, was not sure on Postscripts #10.

[Rahfa]

The slip-cased Postscripts cost $80 originally, right? So that's a great deal.

That one has always surprised me...if any s/l should have had a steady rise in price it was that one, and it was flat as a pancake...shows the overall flimsiness of the Joe Hill s/l market.

SOD I was a great price too, obviously...since it orginally cost $250, right?

[jhanic]

I think the SOD s/l was $300. I could be mistaken about that one, though. I show the s/l PS 10 to have sold for $150. The signed PS 10 without the slipcase was $80.

John

[Rahfa]

Ah...you're right at $150...I have the slipcased version I didn't think it cost $80.

So, even better deals than I thought on both books!

[willie3]

$25 for the trade,
$50 for the signed,
$150 for the signed & slipcased

Karl

[jhanic]

You're right, Karl. $50 for the signed. I mis-read my spreadsheet.

John

[Rahfa]

But on PS site it's $80?

[jhanic]

But on PS site it's $80?

I didn't check there. My spreadsheet says I paid $50 for it back in 2007. Maybe he was offering a discount at that time?

John

Congratulations on all the most recent additions to your collections, everyone!

[Eric719691]

I guess that I am confused (not suprising), the PS Publishing website only list two versions of this $80.00 for the slipcased version and $40.00 for the hardcover signed limited. I do not see three versions on the website, the one I bought was limited to 300 copies.

The cover lists the prices for the various editions.

Karl

[Rahfa]

Duh...I could have just looked right at the cover...haha...

Although I'm surprised it was only $50...I have the slipcased edition, and I'm surprised I paid an additional $100 to get a slipcased/numbered copy of a book I wasn't super excited about...

[Eric719691]

So I went by my local used bookstore this morning to see if they had anything interesting and ended up picking up a copy of each Hearts in Atlantis Advanced Read Copy and The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three Advanced Read Copy. Both are in very good shape and was priced at $4.00. He also had an advanced read copy of Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghost but someone had already spoke for that one.

Eric

[Sam]

Which ARC is it, Viking or Grant?

EDIT: That would be the DT: II ARC of course, sorry

[biomieg]

Is the DTII ARC the one with pictorial wraps, or the orange state (both are Plume, not Grant or Viking)? Great deals!

*edit* I just won a UK IT proof, by the way!

[divemaster]

I just bought the Centipede big ole' honking Lovecraft art book and the big ole' honking King art book from an eBay seller.

ARTISTS INSPIRED BY H.P.LOVECRAFT HUGE ARTBOOK LIMITED
intro by Harlan Ellison, afterword by Thomas Ligotti
Item condition: Brand New
Sold For: US $177.00


KNOWING DARKNESS: ARTISTS INSPIRED BY STEPHEN KING HC
Item condition: Brand New
Sold For: US $236.00

I had these on my watch list for a while, when the seller had them each at $295. But then he discounted them pretty good and I jumped.

Can't wait to get them.

Great buys, I have been looking at buying the H.P. Lovecraft art book for some time and wish I had that one on my ebay watchlist.

[biomieg]

The orange one seems pretty scarce! I'd like to get it but so far...no luck.

Congrats with the art books, Divemaster!

[dubrosa22]

I'm new to this forum and not a mega$$$ collector so after nearly 20 years of absolutely lusting after the Grant editions of the DT saga I'm so chuffed to have finally snagged a MINT shrink-wrapped DT1-3 gift set (now opened and Brodarted)!

http://dubrosa.tripod.com/books/dt1to3giftset.jpg

I'm so in love with it! :excited:

I remember crooning over a just released DTIII in Galaxy Books in Sydney for about 9 months & never having the cash to buy it (I was 13 it I only had Aussie Pesos) until it was snatched up. That was obviously almost 20 years ago and I've had plenty of time between then and now to find others but my DT infatuation is constant but undulating, and so it reaches nadirs as often as it reaches peaks. I guess I'm in a peak right now!

Also for a my DT2 Grant Ist Ed trade I snaffled a new dj from DMG. Lovely!:D

http://dubrosa.tripod.com/books/new_dott1stdj.jpg

My other recent additions include DT4 Grant and DT LSOE AE (so awesome!)

If only I had the $$$ to go after the S/N!

Now I'm doing a wood slipcase to contain it at the top of one of my bookcases.

[Sam]

Ari and everyone else with one of these, I am so jealous of you guys. I wish I could have afforded this one. They all look GREAT, but my god they are HUGE!!!

[turtlex]

Wowowowowow!!

Thanks for the pics, Ari !!! Such cool stuff and that book is ..... sorta huge!

EDIT: I should have mentioned it has a small bump. I plan on using this copy as my actual reading copy.

Yeap. Very small, but it's there.

[Sir_Boomme]

Yeap. Very small, but it's there.

was it damaged during the shipment to you?
i ask, because i had a similar ding to my lettered salem's lot traycase that was caused during shipment to me.... and after talking to jerad, he graciously had the case's original bindery send me another one at no cost.

[Ari_Racing]

Yes, it came that way, but shipping it's expensive from USA to Argentina, so I won't bother Jerad.

Thanks anyway! :)

Got the McSweeney's San Francisco Panorama in the mail yesterday! It is much much larger than I had envisioned. I am definitely a happy camper as it contains myt two facorite things: writing by Stephen King and Yankees Baseball. The World Series Section penned by King is pretty tongue in cheek and though King is a self pronounced Yankee hater I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article!

[Gris]

That book is enormous. More cost to own it. $1000+ to get it and another $15,000 to build a new room onto your house to hold it! :P

Hmmm, how could I have missed that one?

[carlosdetweiller]

I just bought this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150409193196&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I had passed on its original listing because the seller had zero feedback. When it was relisted I contacted the seller and asked a bunch of questions. It turns out the seller is the high school teacher who asked students to send a request out to their favorite authors and see if they would respond. They sent along a sheet of paper with the school letterhead on it. King was one of the very few who took the time to respond and, according to the teacher, did so quite eloquently.

I couldn't quite read the letter in the listing (probably could if I had really really tried) but it looks like it has really good content. And a pretty good deal at $350, I think.

[jhanic]

Very nice, Bob!

John

[Fsmdr]

A cool and unique item, Bob. Very nice, indeed!.

[Patrick]

Very cool, Bob. Since this was done as a school project, I hope the school is receiving some benefit from the auction proceeds.

[carlosdetweiller]

Very cool, Bob. Since this was done as a school project, I hope the school is receiving some benefit from the auction proceeds.

I would think that is not likely. The seller started his/her description to me with "I was the teacher...." I don't think they are with the school anymore.

It reminds me of the time Prudence Grant found those issues of THE DRUM with King's "The 43rd Dream" and "Codename: Mousetrap" in them. She sold them on eBay and I'm willing to bet good ol' Lisbon High didn't see a dime from those sales.

Good job Ari, Bob, John, and Jerome :) congratulations! I was watching the Onan but there's no way I could afford it. I'm glad you got it, John!

Meanwhile, I got a nice non-King book set: first Pocket Books paperback printings [1988] of the first four Robert R. McCammon books (so essentially they are reissues), all signed by the author and neatly stored in a great little slipcase. This set was conceived by The Overlook Connection and (according to the tipped-in limitation pages) they only produced 100 such sets. I got the P/C copies :)

I also have a proof coming my way :-)
And recieved a review copy of FRANKENSTEIN (Shelley, illustrated by Wrightson, introduced by King).. in french

[Cutter]

I received an unexpected King item called "Chart of Darkness" by Kevin Quigley. It's a chapbook that charts all of Stephen King's books: how high they peaked and how long that charted etc... It came from Cemetery Dance and is one of their promo chapbooks.

I haven't read it yet but it looks like a great reference tool.

I'm surprised to see the smiley face following this post. I'm usually more like this when I don't have anything in the works.....:(

[biomieg]

Me too! But I must admit that right now, it does feel... I don't know, in Dutch I would say 'overzichtelijk'... i.e., my mind does not need to keep track of too many things at once.

I'm pretty sure I'll find some new books to buy, though :)

I will try to exert some restraint in the future when it comes to excessive use of emoticons.

Here is this letter that I got from the Nebraska school teacher on eBay. I think it is an interesting read. One thing about King is that he is always generous and considerate when it comes to students. I've always liked that about him. Must be the ex-teacher in him.

His attention to detail in a little letter is impressive - he underlines book titles, and puts quote marks around stories....of course, did he actually type it, or did his assistant?

Makes me want to read a few of those books - "Raven" I've never heard of.

[Randall Flagg]

Makes me want to read a few of those books - "Raven" I've never heard of.
Advertised as 'New' on Amazon for $600.
Amazon.com: Raven: The Untold Story of The Rev. Jim Jones and His People (9780525241362): Tim Reiterman, John Jacobs: Books
Used for ~$9.

Tidbit of a nice review by Dixielee Tripp:
A warning is in order. Once you read Raven, you will never be able to let go of the story. But if you learn one thing from it, it should be that there are deceivers in the world who, if allowed, will take your home, your money and your life.

I'm intrigued too. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I remember the events and local trauma.

[Rahfa]

Actually, it was one of the first major news events I have a recollection of paying attention to, or at least being aware of...

[Randall Flagg]

It was a crazy time in San Francisco. 9 Days after the Jonestown massacre, Dan White shot and killed Mayor George Moscone, and Harvey Milk. Per city charter, the head of the board of Supervisors assumes the Mayor position. This propelled a little know person-Dianne Feinstein into the national spotlight. Now of course she is a U.S. Senator.

Recieved : 2 books signed (and one doodled) by Werber.. to someone else

Unfortunately it is not an original magazine, but today I recieved copies of the full story THE BOOGEYMAN, published in english language in a french magazine (1987).

[artan]

Congrats herbert!!!

[jhanic]

I just received my signed trade paperback copy of Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King. I ordered it from Amazon new and used and, amazingly, it was mailed by the author! It's signed and dated "February 2010". Her return address is on the envelope.

Ok, I had to share this..not really a Pride & Joy as I am going to resell it on my site, but I just bought a Secretary of Dreams S/L for $150. It is perfect. I'm tellin ya, some people are desperate. I bought a Six Stories S/L from the same guy at a great price too.

Yes, great price...great job!

But - I do want to point out the flipside when we sometimes complain about people's supposedly unreasonably high selling prices...so it's good for David - but the seller took a $100 bath, and it's not good for him. All's fair in sales...but at least be consistent....

Never disclose wholesale prices.:P
It makes the buyer wince. :beat:

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, David!

Actually it gives more proofs that the market is softer than ever. I hope it remains that way until July, since when I finish paying my apartment I'll be able to spend more on King :)

[herbertwest]

New books :

o Graphic novel based on Werber's "Empire of the antz". Includes a remarque from the illustrator dated from the month of publication (nov 1994).
The remarque is really nice as I still have some troubles to believe that it's not from the book itself.
I guess i am gonna intend to get it signed by the author, Bernard Werber. And hopefully i'll get one of his doodle, that would make a remarque & a doodle!

o Joe Hill's Twentieth Century Ghosts. The french edition comes out next wednesday. It is a review copy and the title on it is different than the one the publisher recently mentionned me and sent a cover.

o Stephen King's Just After Sunset. The french edition (entitled "Just before the dusk") comes out in less than a month. This is a PROOF!
The second french Stephen King's proof that i own!

[Nerak]

o Joe Hill's Twentieth Century Ghosts. The french edition comes out next wednesday. It is a review copy and the title on it is different than the one the publisher recently mentionned me and sent a cover.

Very nice collectible David. Congratulations. I was hoping it would stay in our family :couple:

I was watching that one and when it didn't sell, I was hoping he'd offer it for less. Oh, well. A nice acquisition, David!

John

[wizardsrainbow]

Thanks. I almost bailed at the last minute thinking $800 is still mucho $$, but the Dark Tower nutjob that I am coupled with the semi-relationship I've established over the past year with Ned pushed me into sticking the course. It is a great collectible and may be only valuable to someone like myself (no broad market appeal maybe), but it will be unique to my collection.

[ChristineB]

congrats on the purchase David.

It is a really cool collectable.

After some negotiations with the seller (I was the high bidder, but didn't meet his reserve) I got this for my original max bid:

[Cutter]

Well I finally got something King related again (which seems to be rare nowadays, besides the comics). A Lettered Edition of Robert Bloch's Psychos with King's Autopsy Room Four story. The sad thing is no one signed this at all nor is it numbered. Oh well, it was in a trade so the loss was compensation not actual cash. Even without the signatures it's a sharp looking book, so I'll still take it.

btw, does anyone know if this version of Autopsy Room Four is any different than the one that appeared in Everything's Eventual (did he revise it)?

[DanishCollector]

Yeah, there's some minor variations here and there.

[Lenny]

Ok I wish I could figure out the photo thing but here is a list of books i received in the last 2 weeks.

1. The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger - 1st edition (thank you David)
2. Heart Shaped Box - Signed/limited editon
3. 2 copies The New Dead - Signed by Joe Hill
4. 2 copies Horns - Signed by Joe Hill
5. All 3 editions of The Colorado Kid
6. Received my confirmation for the World Horror Convention 2011

7. Horns - Limited/Slipcase editon from PS Publishing should be here soon

I'm broke now of course but that's why God invented Ramen Noodles.

[biomieg]

Hi Lenny, that may have something to do with the number of posts you have on the forum, I believe you need to have at least five before new privileges open up (like posting pictures etc.) So one more to go! :)

Great acquisitions, by the way!!

Very nice, Jerome. I kind of decided not to order a copy (I've spent a lot of money in the past week or two) but I'm tending more to ordering one!

John

[swintek]

I was on the fence on SLOB- but just pulled the trigger after seeing your pics, Randall. Great looking book at a fair price. Jerad can thank you for the sale- I honestly wouldn't have bought it if I didn't see your pics. That's one thing about Centipede; although I know the book(s) will most likely be beautiful when done, I just can't get excited about the digital mock-ups of the books that remain as the only image-even well after they are done and gone. I have to see the real deal. I STILL don't know if I want certain Centipede books that were done years ago- because I don't know what they really look like.

Jerad, if you're out there, how about actual pics of the books? It really makes a difference.

Anyway, looking forward to reading this nice looking edition.

Howdy folks-
I'm just new to the group, and figured it was time for me to step out of the shadows and start posting. Eventually I'll find the appropriate thread and do a proper introduction.
In the meantime, I was excited enough to want to share with others that understand my particular mania.
I recently purchased the submission manuscirpt and mechanical proofs of SIX STORIES from your own Mike P -- had no idea how to display it. While shopping the other day I found a curious table with glass windows and it turns out that it makes a perfect display case. I was also able to track down a proof of the cover art which I had framed; include a traycased copy on the table and now I have my own little SIX STORIES corner.

[carlosdetweiller]

VERY nice display! Congratulations on the acquisition of a highly desirable and unique King item. And welcome to the forum.

[jhanic]

Very nice, surly! I like it!

John

[Sam]

Looks great, now we need a closeup of that table. :)

[gsvec]

Very nice, surly - I like it a lot!

[Airtraffic]

So is the Slob a good read? cause the book it self looks very nice.

[Randall Flagg]

So is the Slob a good read? cause the book it self looks very nice.
