Your New Pride and Joy!

That looks really nice - Lord John Press has PC copies for $250 - is that too much? Wonder how many PC copies they made ...

I paid $175 for mine (unframed).

The framing job cost me $337 (and that was with a 55% sale price).

I had it framed at Michael's (it is a craft store chain).

[Fsmdr]

I really like the frame job, Rick. Good choice!.

It seems crazy to pay more for the frame than the item being framed. But I've done it several times. Congratulations. It looks very nice.

[Rahfa]

I have a presentation copy listed right now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140469384137&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I really liked the frame and matte job...it's not heavy-duty wood or the quality of Tippy's, but it looks nice on the wall...I'm not aggressivly trying to sell, but anyone interested can make an offer.

These show up now and again, but that is the hassle of buying an unframed edition...you really can't do much with it until it's framed.

[Randall Flagg]

I like the framing in red.

Yeah...same problem with the Insomnia Portfolio....really not much you can do with that.

I guess I could have the one signed print framed...but then what do I do with the unsigned prints and holder?

John!! Very nice!

Stocker - :( I can't seem to see your pics!

[Ari_Racing]

John, I received a copy yesterday and actually it doesn't look like an ARC, but a regular 1st edition (prior it's publication, of course)

[jhanic]

That's what mine looks like also. Mine also had a publisher's letter folded inside. Does yours?

John

[Ari_Racing]

Yeap. :)

[jhanic]

Neat!

John

[herbertwest]

Nice one john... But the cover isnt from an arc. Its simply the book witha letter from the publisher

My arc have "advance review copy" or something like it at the bottom of the front cover...

[Ari_Racing]

Yes. Besides, the arc is in softcover.

I have 4 different editions of the book prior its publication! :)

US Proof with band
US Proof no band
UK Proof
UK 1st edition

[jhanic]

That's why I called it an Advance Readers Copy and not an Advance Review Copy.

OK I know these aren't books but they were bought in lue of me starting my SL Collection this year. :doh:

My 10th Anniversary present: It is simply gorgeous, Ruby Braclet, I love rubies. :)

We also got a Tempurpedic mattress this summer that is out of this world comfortable. You can look up a pic on thier website if you like, not gonna strip the bed to take a pic for you guys. :nope:

And the one that makes me think of the 10-12 SL's I could have bought this year with the money we spent on it: 2011 Victory Crossroads. Ofcourse, my husband is right when he says it would have been difficult to ride those books to work everyday.:beat:

[carlosdetweiller]

And Bob, I'd love to see a pic of the signed UK proof of DIFFERENT SEASONS someday...

Here is a picture of both the US and UK DIFFERENT SEASONS proofs. This isn't the signed one but, obviously, it looks just like this one on the outside. It looks very similar to the US edition except at the bottom of the front cover it says Macdonald instead of Viking.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/differentseasonproofs-1.jpg

[biomieg]

Ah yes, I remember seeing this one before. Very nice! I will have to make do with the regular, unsigned Viking proof (not that I'm complaining).

[tippy4]

I decided to finally buy an unsigned collector's editon of UTD today. This one never really interested me too much since it was unsigned, and was not that different than the signed version.

The $75 price tag plus the fact that I have a US S/L. a UK S/L, a signed US trade, and an unsigned US trade on my shelves already kept me from buying one.

But, siince this one was pretty cheap, I bit the bullet and placed a bid.

Unsigned UTD Collecto's Edition for $43 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=190463009838&si=XqLZp8RgVscm5QRd7BMDh6L0nvk%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT)

Most "gift editions" don't seem to hold their value. The exceptions seem to be The Talisman and FAB8.

[ELazansky]

That's awesome! It looks to be in amazing condition!

[agrabin]

This book and the jacket are in fantastic conditon. There is little or no separation of the text block from the spine as is the way with those heavy Doubleday books and it really is square and tight all round. The jacket is as you see it in the pictures (not covered with any protective sleeve) and is virtually flawless. The only problem with the book is the foxing you can see in the pictures, but to be honest, that doesn't bother me at all. I've waited a long time to get a signed Stand anywhere near this condition and this one was most certainly worth the wait. It sits well in the case produced by The Collector and sold to me courtesy of Jerome - thanks my friend. Sorry for posting so many photographs but I did think that this one deserved it.

[frik]

That it did! That is one gorgeous book!

Post all you like, the more images the better.
Obviously the case made the trip safely (I wrapped it carefully in a box, then put the box in a well padded larger box). Not cheap to send despite the less than 4lb. weight. That case was still in the original black paper wrap with the sticker from The Collector.:excited:

[gsvec]

Stunning copy of The Stand!!

[Fsmdr]

Exceptionally beautiful condition on that signed Stand!. We love looking at each and every picture.

Nice haul, Ari!.

[east-tennessee]

Beautifull copy of the Stand, Love the look of the signature also. That sig & date would be awesome on a f/f Pet Semetary.
I have a F/F book club of the stand housed in the same case..
May I ask where you acquired the Book?

I look over my shoulder, OH MR Follett was just behind me....

Arround 2 hrs event inkl signing
Mr Follett talks a lot about his other books, and reads parts from his new ´Fall of the Giants´.
The event was hostet/translatet from Angela Spitzig, she also reads german parts from Fall of The Giants.

Hey, guys! Been awhile but I'm back!

I love the new site!

I just picked up two very nice books.

This one is the signed slip-cased edition of "Horns" by, Joe Hill. I love it!

When I have the cash, I intend on picking up the tray-cased edition as well.

http://beneadsfiction.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Horns-001.jpg

[Ben Eads]

And here is the second book I picked up by the one, the only, Rio Youers. This is the signed, numbered, tray-cased edition of "End Times" and as usual, PS Publishing did a fantastic job.

Rio is quickly becoming a MASSIVE force to be reckoned with. I highly recommend his work.

Got some amazing Tolkien stuff in the pipeline and maybe a signed SK or two, but definitely slowing down, aside from the current stuff like RtB, FD/NS etc. Not sure what I'll do with the extra income!! LOL LOL

The best part is, McCammon added a substantial amount of text. The book is twice (approx.) the word count of the original.

New package from the UK today. PS Publishing was celebrating their website redesign & All Hallows' Eve and gave away a bunch of free stuff. So in addition to the already discounted (60%off!) signed Gene Wolfe collection (having recently garnered a World Fantasy Award no less) that I bought, I received the lovely tray cased signed Gwyneth Jones collection as a free bonus. Numbers 23/300 and PC/100, respectively. The Jones also has the honor of being my first traycased book ever.

TOday i recieved a review copy of the french publication of LOCKE AND KEY 1 : Welcome to Lovecraft (the 1st arc)

More of a bargain of the week I think, ten new book club King hardcovers for £8($12.6), no postage to pay and no book club to join, bargain!.

http://i53.tinypic.com/w8q13l.jpg

I'm slightly miffed that I found the website too late to take advantage of the other offer, a different selection of ten King book but this pack was only £7($11) and included Dome and Full Dark, sold out way quick though :pullhair:.

Talisman Gift Edition (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=220700172745)

Yep, you got a good price there.

Normally, I dislike two-volume limited editions (DT4, DT5, DT7). Also, I dislike limited editions that come without dust jackets (Desperation and Black House). I don't mean to sound like I am picking on DMG Books, but I prefer single-volumes and dust jackets.

That being said, I really like the Gift Edition of The Talisman. I like the square spines, the way the books match the slipcase, and I like the artwork.

I was looking over some completed auctions for this book, and came across this one:

Talisman Gift Edition for $30 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Talisman-2-Volume-Set-Stephen-King-/160511577247)

Sure, there is a little water damage, but for $30 I would have bought this.

Those of you who have read Robert McCammon's Blue World are sure to remember "Pin," one of the most disturbing stories I've ever read. Film student Chris Frahme has created a film version of "Pin" that is most excellent. You can find links to the trailer and film on the McCammon site (http://www.robertmccammon.com/), as well as below.

http://club-stephenking.fr/img/BW/Rire%20du%20cyclope+miroir%20cassandre%20proofs%20-%203.jpg

"Le rire du cyclope" (the laughter of the cyclop), is a thriller related to the origin of laughter
"Le miroir de Cassandre" (the mirror of Cassandre), is related to the myth of Cassandre... that was seeing the future but nobody was believing what she was saying. It's a modern version of it.

Both proofs are quickly covered with french flaps cover... Easy to cover!

This arrived today:

S/L Cycle of the Werewolf Portfolio #146/350 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=320613489146&si=XqLZp8RgVscm5QRd7BMDh6L0nvk%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT)

I paid $280 shipped for it.

I don't see these too often (only 350 made).

I don't think I got hosed on it, but not a great price either.

It is in beautiful shape.

Any thoughts on my purchase price?

[jhanic]

I think that was a decent price. Congratulations!

John

[Randall Flagg]

I would have paid that.

[tippy4]

Thanks guys.

It had been sitting out there for a while, so I contacted the seller and offered him $250. He countered with $260 plus $20 shipping (from Canada), and I agreed.

This was one of the few reasonably priced items left on my S/L wish list. It was at the bottom of that list because you really can't display it, and I thought it odd that it was signed by King when it was just based on his work (like the insomnia Portfolio).

When I got it, I discovered there actually is a short essay by King in the portfolio. Had I known that, it might not have been at the bottom of my list.

My new prides/joy....
two copies of the signed/numbered limited/slipcased edition of Bush's memoir: "Decision Points" - to add to my signed presidential memoir collection.

[Randall Flagg]

Congratulations. What things do you have in your Presidential collection? Please share.

Washington's Crossing S/L - one of my favorite American History books, along with 1776. Instead of a slipcase or traycase, the book comes in a box with the dust jacket art:

That's awesome! I didn't know about that. I have almost all the volumes (first editions) from The Oxford History of the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_History_of_the_United_States). I love those books.

Got my signed copy of Full Dark, No Stars a few minutes ago. Although the seller said he would be sending it First Class, he sent it Priority Mail!

Congrats everyone!

Nice signature, tippy. I guess that's what happens when SK's not signing 700+ books assembly line-style. :lol:

[Randall Flagg]

Congrats John. It's always nice when a seller exceeds expectations.

[WeDealInLead]

I'll be posting pictures of additions from the past 2-3 months tomorrow. Some SK S/Ls, some 'Absolute' graphic novel editions and S/Ls by other authors. I need to wait until I drop my only too curious daughter off at my parents' place. She knows Stephen King books are dad's and off-limits but sometimes the curiosity gets the best of her.

Actually John, First Class Mail and Priority Mail are pretty much the same thing.

First Class Mail is limited to 13 ounces or less.

Both First Class and Priority deliver in 2-3 days.

But regardless, congrats on your purchase!

You got a good price ($255) considering the average ebay selling price since the signing has been $310.69.

BOOYA!

Look what I just won!

Inscribed and Dated Song Of Susannah for $102.50 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260704309414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT)

Funny story, last month I was about to purchase a signed copy of this book from Bett's that was on consignment for twice the price, when at the last moment, the owner decided he just could not part with it.

Looks like that worked out in my favor!

Also, the one I just won is inscibed to Mike, and that is my son's name!

I was worried Mike P. might be lurking in the shadows and sniping this from me!

I am broke now. It has been an expensive week...must...stop...looking...at...ebay.

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Tippy! A great buy!

John

[Patrick]

Congrats, Rick!

[Ricky]

It's a Christmas miracle! Congrats!

[Fsmdr]

That's a great buy, Rick. I saw it too and was thinking about bidding. I already have a signed trade SOS, but I like yours better as it is dated in the year of publication. I'm glad you got it.

[Randall Flagg]

Very good deal. Congratulations.

[tippy4]

That's a great buy, Rick. I saw it too and was thinking about bidding. I already have a signed trade SOS, but I like yours better as it is dated in the year of publication. I'm glad you got it.

Thanks Jul...I am glad you didn't!

The reserve on this was $100, so I got it for just about as low as I could have.

I don't have a signed trade SOS in my collection, so I am pretty happy about this!

[gsvec]

Nice catch, Rick - congrats!

[WeDealInLead]

The picture doesn't do the book justice. It really is in great shape. Bought it from our own Ralph for a very good price.

http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/9274/123036.jpg

As you can see, it is signed by Michael Whelan.

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7249/123037.jpg

S/L SOD II. I also received the gift editon but posting that would be like posting a picture of your Yugo next to your BMW. Yeah, it's a car but who cares?

I had this sent to a friend in Michigan and finally received it after two months:

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5959/123040.jpg

Same goes for The Talisman/Black House gift edition. Bought it from namelessnpoor for a good price and had it shipped to Michigan. Shipping to London, ON would've been $50. Brutal. I finally got it and couldn't be happier.

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2696/123041.jpg


I saw this on Betts and knew I had to have it. Impulse buy but no regrets. Now I just need a S/L of The Talisman and I'm set.

http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/7879/123042.jpg

Signature page. Book looks brand new.

http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/690/123043.jpg


Books by other authors. I didn't feel like taking individual pictures. They're all either signed firsts or S/L editions.

http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/92/123044.jpg


Not everything is new. Recent acqusitions are FDNS 1st, Masques II BCE (it looks cool), Gallery of Horror BCE (couldn't pass it up for $2), The City And The City S/L.

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2816/123045.jpg


I love Star Wars.

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4397/123046.jpg


I love Warren Ellis. Absolute edition of Planetary still in shrinkwrap. That's how it will stay for a while.

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/3991/123047.jpg


Not shrinkwrapped.

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3968/123048.jpg


I saw this at the local comic shop and thought my eyes were playing a trick on me. It cost as much as a regular trade paperback. Anyone see any defects? Yeah, neither do I. The book is massive. Bigger than Absolute Sandman III which is pictured next.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4223/123049.jpg

Two books. Very neat:

Sandman III. Still in shrinkwrap but not for long.

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3176/123051c.jpg


I probably missed some stuff but I think this will do for now.

[Dolso]

Can't see any pics Wedeal.......................

[WeDealInLead]

They should show up now. I used the wrong links the first time around.

[Randall Flagg]

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[jhanic]

Very, very nice!

John

[biomieg]

Veerrrrryyyy nice!

[Patrick]

Looks like you hit the motherload with all those new acquisitions!


By the way, that IDW 10 year S/L was discussed in the Joe Hill thread a while back. It's an impressive book and not overly expensive. Glad you got one!

[Merlin1958]

Wow!!! Some very, very nice items there!!!


Congrats!!!!!!!


:clap:

[Randall Flagg]

Just received these. Too bad some dummy "signed" the Night Shift dustjacket. They turned a >$200 book into a <$100 book.
