Your New Pride and Joy!

An unknown picture? No unknown text I guess?
Again, congrats :-)

And about the second copy : who owns it now?

[Sir_Boomme]

Not a big story here, but I was contacted out of the blue by another CT resident who told me that he went to college with King and that he had kept all of the campus newspapers while he was there. He thought he had a complete set of King's Garbage truck and wanted to know what the value of his set was worth. While I know of the papers and Steve's periodic writing in various issues, I had no clue as to value. So I approached 2 of the biggest collectors for advice. The seller made a list of all the issues that had King's Garbage Truck in them. I shot this list off to Bob and he helped me on pricing and also expressed an interest in the papers for himself. I then negotiated the pricing from middle ground to the satisfaction of both parties. In the end, the seller found he had 2 copies of an issue that showed the Kent State march held at the Maine university campus with Steve prominently featured near the frront of the march. Bob said he had not seen that picture before so he got that issue as well. Bob was also most gentlemanly in compensating me for my "brokering" of the deal and for driving to pick up the issues for him.

Many thanks.


It pays to be Bob
a big congrads Bob (with perhaps a little bit of jealousy/envy)

i've been looking for any/all of those ... forever... just in case you run across another set of them dave... in the next century or so.

Purportedly Hasbro made/named a GI Joe figure based upon a suggestion from Stephen King. King's son Owen was fascinated with the GI Joe figures.
The Crystal Ball figure was released in 1987, as was The Tommyknockers. Crystal Ball is mentioned twice in The Tommyknockers-


He decided he wouldn't swat David. He would hug David. When David got back, Hilly would fall down on his knees and hug David and tell David he could have all the G.I. Joe guys (except maybe for Snake-Eyes and Crystal Ball) for a whole week.
'Me too,' Hilly said. 'We got to trade G.I Joes tomorrow.'



'Why?'
'I dunno. But we got to. I promised.'
'When?'
'I dunno.'
'As long as I get Crystal Ball,' David said, settling himself more firmly into the crook of Hilly's arm.
'Well okay.'
Silence there was a dim commotion at the nurses' station down the hall, but here there was silence, and the sweet warmth of boys.
Wikipedia also has a listing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Ball_%28G.I._Joe%29)
In an interview by Bev Vincent, Owen King seems to remember but misnames the character:


A few years before that, Hasbro named a GI Joe figure after him. “Sneak Peek. I'm not sure what his specialty is. He comes with a big telescope thingy, though. Maybe he's supposed to be the GI Joe voyeur.”

The images are of the actual figure I have.

[CurtSeattle]

I'm not sure if this is my new pride and joy, but kinda cool.

It's spray painted onto a peg board about 2 feet tall by 1 foot wide.

I took a pic with my phone. Will try to get another one to show the colors better.

Yeah pics would be great, with all the talk over how short the tale is I would love what spacing and font they've used.

"...an American mother from Bangor, Maine..." Well, if that verbiage on the package doesn't solidify the story, I don't know what would. Nice action figure, Jerome.

Congrats, everyone, on your latest acquisitions!

[herbertwest]

From the backcover :
"His other releases from Cemetery Dance Publications include two volumes of The Secretary of the Dreams..."

Hope that it means they will publish it soon...

Congratulations, Jerome!

[Fsmdr]

I really like those prints as well, Jerome. I have a set from Betts on it's way as well.

I also finally finished framing the Don Maitz water colors. I really like the way it looked in it. The simulated rocks frame has an organic look that goes well with the animal images.

[oy-the-brave]

Truly beautiful Juliana, wonderful framing.
I am VERY envious of your wolf painting :drool:

[Fsmdr]

Thank you very much, guys. :)

Believe it or not, those are ready made frames and pre cut mat that I purchased from Aaron Brothers. I had to cut a little off the mat edges to fit the frame as the mat was intended for a larger frame. But it was the only size mat that fits all the four images well. It took a while for me to figure out the right size, color and configuration, but it worked out well in the end.

[Dolan]

So 2 new books I wanted to show you guys that I was pretty excited about...

So Richard Russo won the Pulitzer for Empire Falls (a book I thought was way too long) but this book was very good and I really enjoyed the writing. I found this for really cheap (considering) and picked it up. Inscribed the month and year of publication:

http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr205/nykennyny/photo-7.jpg


Now this one has eluded me for a few years. Michael Cunningham is one of my favorite authors of all time. The Hours is one of my favorite books of all time. I have two copies of the ARC but this is the grand-daddy proof that I never had. When I bought it I didn't really do much inspecting, other than to make sure it was in good condition... but when I got it home, I saw that it was SIGNED too! Lucky me. This is the crowning jewel of my Cunningham collection...

Jerad has created another one of his beautiful Ltd editions, this time of Herbert's The Fog. I ordered one a couple weeks back. I'm really, really looking forward to receiving it.

Yeah John, it was the first horror book I ever read. I was 14 and got it from my high school library! I enjoy Herbert a great deal. His output is a book every six or so years now though. Seemingly he has health problems.

It was in your high school library?!? Such a volume would NEVER have been allowed in my school.

Good stuff everybody (as always). I feel a bit of envy looking at the Skeleton Crew S/L - I don't collect signed King books but if I ever start, this is the first one I'll be looking for.

I just won a UK Just After Sunset sampler for a sweet price (£14.90 including shipping) :D

Yeah, I was somewhat surprised that I ended up being the high bidder, I expected to get more competition for this one. I think it's the first one I've seen on eBay since I learned about proofs and started to collect them. There is one on ABE (I think) which has been there for a long long time, listed at something like $75, but other than that... nothing. Scarce indeed!

[Resident Chris]

The most are expensive. Some are really cheap.
But that price for both is really rare. The Books are in perfect condition.
The king Books are the most expensivest of the EPs.

That's my missing grail. One of the 5 S/L editions I always wanted to own.

[Pasiuk57]

I received a near-complete set of roofs from KNOWING DARKNESS and a set of the final, unbound pages. There are only two sets of these-one in the possession of the publisher and this set. These two items provide a glimpse of how this book, visually, went from its earliest state to final, printed form: a private gallery, as it were, on how the book developed conceptually. The letter of providence is signed by the Author.
This is an amazing one of only two in the world, set.

[Pasiuk57]

Thanks for the Info Willie. Joe has been talking about this story for a long time now. First read from it at a signing I went to. Can't for the life of me remember for which book, but it wasn't Horns (obviously)
He did state at the time that it might be awhile before it came out...and it has! Can't wait to read the rest of the story now!
As for a S/L, hope someone steps up to the plate.

I haven't heard of anyone doing a S/L on it...I can ask around!

There is no S/L planned by Marrow at this point. The HC is due for release from the warehouse on 5/25 and for sale 6/10. There is also a Trade PB version, ISBN 9780061230936, that should be out June 2011.

Because the book is an anthology with so many other authors, I'm not sure it will see print from another publisher, so probably no S/L.

Now im unsure on the framing, should i have them done seperately or next to each other in one frame? :orely:

[Ari_Racing]

[Sam]

Depending on the size, you might could get a double frame, but I would just frame them seperately and display them next to each other if you have the wall space.

[Gris]

Now im unsure on the framing, should i have them done seperately or next to each other in one frame? :orely:

Really Nice Tito!

How big are they?

[turtlex]

Now im unsure on the framing, should i have them done seperately or next to each other in one frame? :orely:

Oh, I would vote for the double frame if you can do it. I think that would look amazing .. the sketch next to the final artwork, both in the same presentation.

But, I guess for sure, it depends on the size of both.

Really, they're both very striking and impressive.

[Tito_Villa]

Well the watercolour is 12" x 9" and the paper is slightly bigger than the one for the sketch, but if you understand both illustrations are just about the same size!

[Gris]

For 2 pictures that size, I would definitely agree with turtlex and say to put them into a single frame side by side. If they were much bigger it might be distracting to have them both together as it would take up to much space for the eye to encompass at 1 time, but for 12"x9", that wouldn't be a problem and would look amazing together.

I just picked up the 2010 edition of Danse Macabre from Books a Million, thanks to a Christmas gift card I got. This edition contains a "new" introduction by King, "What's Scary", which was originally published in the January/February 2010 Fangoria (which I somehow never got).

John-

You're welcome. I came within as smidge of doing the buy-it-now option when it was first posted. Instead, I was the first bidder and the BIN option went away.

[Cujo56]

I was watching that one also. Congrats on the win!

How much was the BIN? I missed the initial posting. And thanks for not using it!

Got something interesting today. It is the Italian issue of Under the Dome. A friend of mine went there for a week and she brought this back for me. I am amazed at the differences in the US and Italian versions. Here the two are together. Just thought you might like seeing something different.

I haven't hardly been online the last two weeks - 10 days in Hawaii (pics to follow soon) and then I have been battling bronchitis the last three days. BUT, I had to get in here and at least tell the world that yesterday I got the one book that I have wanted the most for the longest time - actually been waiting for this book since I first heard about it in the inside cover of Pet Semetery (back in 1983 I think) when the publishers first listed The Dark Tower The Gunslinger as also written b\y Stephen King.

And now with many many thanks to David at Betts I am the proud owner of a First Edition Gunslinger

Congrats, Lenny, on pulling it all together! The number of complete sets of all three items (book, traycase, artwork) is limited.

[Tito_Villa]

Thats great Lenny i do really love Salem's Lot! anyway i know this isn't techniquely a book but im very proud of it! Im a massive Derby County Football Club fan (the club come a close 2nd behind my girlfriend for if she reads this :ninja: ) and the club has a rich, proud history, 1 of which was winning the FA cup the first time it was contested after World War 2 in 1946!

When cleaning out some stuff after my grandad passed away i found a programme from the semi-final of Derby County v Birmingham City which i showed to my gran and she gave me some cool news ... that she knew 1 of the 2 surviving members of the Derby County squad that won the trophy! So she took the programme off me and said i could have it back in a few weeks, so time went by and i visited my gran to find that i had some cool presents waiting for me ...

The programme signed by Jimmy Bullions with a photo and classic Derby County shirt signed too ...

Some great acquisitions above, and over the last dozen or so pages, but I think the coolest has to be Tito's. Something like that is SO rare, so irreplaceable, it has to be up there with Lettered Firestarters. Nice one gran :)

I'm guessing this is the best choice of threads to post in. My dear wife decided to surprise me with a gift and it arrived today. She was shopping around CafePress and picked out a Tshirt and Tile that she thought I would appreciate. The poor thing does not do much online shopping and somehow confused UK and US currencies. She thought she was about to pay around 30$ and came closer to 50 ofc. I still remember the day she did it and came to me with a pity look saying she learned a hard lesson on money calculators. :doh:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/sleeplessdwarf/015.jpg

Here is a pic of the tile from the site so you can read it. it is titled "Moon Song"
Image and poetry inspired by Stephen King's Dark Tower series, Wizard and Glass. The tragic romance between Roland and Susan sings on.

Well, I went out on a limb today and bought a Jae Lee panel from the final Jericho Hill story arc. Issue 5 double page spread 5-6. After buying several of the initial character sketches and 3 other panels from the first issues, I felt like I needed closure with this story. This scene appealed to me because in the top half it shows Roland, Bert and Aileen making the last stand on Jericho Hill and the bottom panel depicting Grissom and who I think is Walter. In any event, it spoke to me, especially because it showed Roland, Bert and Aileen. I toyed with getting the very last image, that of Roland, but it didn't draw me the way the other image did.

I provided a link to the image below as I couldn't copy it.

I don't have the room in my apartment for more bookcases at this point. I have a "Stephen King" bookcase now, but it's full ( no complaints here, however!! ) so I have a lot of my comic GNs stored in various boxes and a couple of those in storage.

That's great, Bob. A key addition to any King collection.

I was wondering about your copy of LEGENDS, signed by both King and Goodkind. Did you get that signed in 1998 at the Betts Bookstore signing? I know some were getting Terry Goodkind to sign copies at the dinner that Stu hosted the night before the signing. And Erik Wilson was there doing original Dark Tower drawings in the book for anyone who asked him. Some then used that book as one of their two books for King to sign the next day.

[Fsmdr]

A very good looking Gunslinger 1st!. Congrat's Bob.

[Brice]

Very nice, Bob! Congratulations!

Pam, I have a small room at our house. I forgo all furniture excluding a bed so I can fit six bookcases, a curio cabinet, and a file cabinet for my books/sk collection.

[Cujo56]

That's a nice copy!!

One of these days, I hope to a nice copy like that.

Bob !! Very nice Gunslinger First ..... looks great on your shelf. Congrats.

Brice - I have a small "den" and it's completely full with bookcases and comic stuff.... Plus, I have a rather large DVD collection, and those are in cases in the living room ... along with one curio cabinate of my comic busts/statues.

We all need to open a museum to display all of our cool stuff properly!!

[Brice]

Good plan, Pam. I'll add rooms on to my house for the museum and y'all can just mail all your books and come visit when you like...for a nominal fee of course. I mean museums need upkeep. ;)

And Erik Wilson was there doing original Dark Tower drawings in the book for anyone who asked him. Some then used that book as one of their two books for King to sign the next day.

I wasn't at the dinner hosted by Stu :cry: but YES, I did use Legends as my second book and had Terry Goodkind sign it while in line waiting to get to SK.

I pondered all day as to what to have for my second book; my first was my UnabridgeD The Stand which king personalized as:


To Bob -
All the best,
Stephen King
11/23/98

I did not have my copy of Legends with me but bought one off the shelf at Betts that already had Goodkind's signature flatsigned; so he signed it again while I was in line and personalized it. It is flatsigned on page 139, The Sword of Truth, in a purple ink. Below in a blue ink it says:


To BOB -
ENEMIES ARE THE PRICE OF HONOR.
TERRY
11-23-98

On August 2, 1999 I had Erik Wilson sign (personalized To Bob, Best Wishes and dated); I honestly cannot remember getting that signature; it must have been at a SKEMERS conference I attended in Bangor!

King signed on the title page for his story and Erik signed on his artwork that is included on the next page; but nothing original added!

[turtlex]

ENEMIES ARE THE PRICE OF HONOR. .... Wow, that's great!! Is that from the book? I've never heard it before, and I love it.

[CRinVA]

I havent read the series yet but plan on it. I really like the inscription he put n my book!.

The Dutch Creepshow is a hardcover edition too (same artwork as the French one). I should know, because I own the book :) it's in my collection thread and several members have expressed their interest in getting a copy (which I haven't forgotten - I'm still on the lookout).

I own the dutch edition myself.

The dutch one is a hardcover with dustjacket. This one is printed on board and has fewer pages.

I can´t see any pictures?

[jhanic]

Super_sam, the only way I can see the pictures is if I use Firefox for my browser. They just don't show up on any of the Internet Explorer versions.

I also ordered a set of 'Salem's Lot prints from David, and here they are, nestled in my traycase along with my gift edition of the book.

Absolutely thrilled with my new aquisitions. Thanks again David. :thumbsup:

Congratulations, Alan. I've always like the job Charnel House and Dutton did on THE REGULATORS. And each check being different makes each book unique. I'm drawing a blank on the check's reference to a subscription to Inside View. Do you know which book or story it is from?

[Brice]

The Night Flier, Bob...actually I believe inside view is mentioned in a couple King short stories, but Richard Dees worked for that paper.

Thanks, Brice. I need to reread the short stories. It has been a long time since I last read them and can only recall reading "The Night Flier" once.

[Brice]

I'm happy to help. I am always rereading something by King and I love his short stories.

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Alan. Some VERY nice acquisitions!

I'm happy to help. I am always rereading something by King and I love his short stories.

I love his short fiction too.

Despite writing some epics, in general I much prefer the short stories and novellas.

[Brice]

I knew there was at least one reference I was missing. Thanks, Jerome!

Though I love a good fat novel. I adore short stories (king, or otherwise) and am almost always reading some.

[The Library Policeman]

Thanks everyone. :thumbsup:

Ahhh it was The Dead Zone Inside View featured in. I knew it was in The Night Flier but I couldn't remember which novel.

Thanks Jerome.

I'm not so sharp-the reference came from

I've got into the habit of reading a couple of short stories when I finish each novel, I do end up reading a few crap ones but at least you only waste half hour if it's a load of rubbish.

[willie3]

Alan, VERY nice Regulators. :thumbsup:

One of these days, I'll be able to acquire one for myself.

When I do, it will be from David's Bett's Bookstore !!
