Here is one wall in my collection room.
I had to install these cases and tether them to the wall-California-earthquake country. Nothing fancy about the cases-spent the money on books. Mostly these hold my trades, and a few other items.

I know this has probably been said a hundred times already, but as I'm new to the forum, I still wanted to say

OMG!!!

Nice. Very Nice.

[mae]

Impressive indeed. All due respect, my fellow collectors, but I'll just never understand having multiple copies of the same book.

[e_taylor]

Impressive indeed. All due respect, my fellow collectors, but I'll just never understand having multiple copies of the same book.

There was a time that I didn't either.... but sometimes if one is good, two is better!

As an example, the centrepiece of my collection is my Michael Slade books, for a while I had four copies of every hardcover (US and UK) - one 1st, one flatsigned 1st, one inscribed 1st, and one 1st inscribed to myself. Due to space constraints, I have shaved that down to just the inscribed and personally inscribed copies.

But still, I see the allure.

[Brice]

Besides who doesn't need 19 signed limited DT sets?

[Merlin1958]

I collect US & UK first's so I can see that. If either one is signed, I pull the un-signed one and sell it. I'm also guilty of a few "AE" copies, but 6 or 8 of what appears to be the same book? I don't get that. I'm sure there is a good reason though. Maybe you could share? Are there that many differences? or, is it due to each individual printing?

Impressive, nevertheless.

I feel the same way. If each book was different like e_taylor mentioned above, with one being a 1/1, one signed, one inscribed, etc., then that seems OK since they all have differences. I don't understand the need for 20 copies of a regular 1/1. Especially SK books. I mean, 20 copies of UtD would take up a whole bookshelf! But, everyone collects what and how they want, so as long as the collection is enjoyed by the collector, I think it is just fine.

[jhanic]

Regarding the multiple copies of a volume. I have the following editions of Under the Dome:

US Proof
UK Proof
US hardcover advance reading copy (w/o dust jacket)
US trade edition with white lettering (actually, I have two of these--one is my reading copy)
US trade edition with dark lettering
US Signed trade edition
US Collector's edition
US signed Collector's edition
US signed limited
UK signed limited
UK signed limited still in shrinkwrap
UK trade edition
UK promotional booklet
UK paperback advance reader copy w/publisher's letter
UK 5 paperback set with postcards (100 copies printed) still in shrinkwrap

I consider each of these to be separate editions.

Oh I agree totally!!! I wasn't rying to cast any aspersions, its each individuals private collection and therefore solely their rules. Actually I was more looking to learn something.

John's post is very illustrative. I have some proof's as well and I consider them seperate editions, as I would if I had ARC's as well. I also fall victim to the "Collector" edition. Overall, my wife has drawn the line at 2 1/2 book cases so I guess I'm forced to be more discerning about what I collect than anything else!!!! LOL

Wow! That's truly impressive, John. I only have the standard Collector's ($75/25000), the white text trade, the grey text trade and a signed white text trade (all US). Do you mind if I ask how you got the signed collector's? I'm assuming this is not the same as the signed limited ($200/1500). I didn't know King signed any of the standard collector's edition! Can't be too many, if he did! That's great that you managed to get one.

I got it off eBay. There were a few there when he did the signings, and I managed to get one. It's signed on the title page and has the $75 dust jacket.

https://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/stockerlonepics/Stephen_King_and_Friends/printImage?imageId=155126894&imageType=image

I become this book direct from one of the authors, Gary Lovisi. He was so kind, to extra sig + date on his
FIRE story. I also ask him, if its possible to make a little sketch, but he says... he is absolutly NOT talented
in sketching, he don´t wanna ruin the book...

https://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/stockerlonepics/Stephen_King_and_Friends/printImage?imageId=155126528&imageType=image

Voices from The Night is signed by 26 contributers like, Jack Ketchum, Richard Christian Matheson, William Nolan, Rex Miller, Edward Lee, Richard T. Chizmar and Rick Hautala.

This little treat arrived in the mail a few says ago: S/L The Best Of Larry Niven. This is one more addition to my signed influences in science fiction collection. I'm trying to collect signatures (preference to signed firsts or S/Ls) from all the really big SF names, especially those that particularly influenced my reading through the years...

Ooh, even better than my last one! This came today, the Gauntlet Press S/L of Masks by Ray Bradbury. Pretty cool little book with 6 unpublished short stories (besides the novel) and lots of little ephemera and doodles from Bradbury. Gotta love half-price sales! I reaaallly love Bradbury (almost more than King! Shhhhh...), if I were a girl, I'd totally do naughty things to Ray Bradbury (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IxOS4VzKM).

Very nice pick-up, Tim!!!!! I always loved Niven's writing. I especially recall the absolutely hysterical short stories contemplating the fruition of Supeman's love for Lois Lane!!!! Right up there with Douglas Adams on the funny scale!!!

[thegreattim]

Thanks! Niven, for me anyway, is one of the greats. I honestly can't say I've read much of his short work though, so I was especially pleased when Subterranean announced this edition, 27 stories!

At one point he surmised that Supes and Lois would have to "mate" on the moon for the "No Gravity" effect, but would that stop Superman's "Super" sperm? LOL

When Liseys was released in Sweden the publisher arranged a contest where ten winners won a signed copy of Liseys ( and i missed the contest :pullhair:.
Finally, i had a friend that won a copy and i was able to buy it now when he needed to sell it.
I guess i paid a little more then i wanted, but there is not so many signed Swedish King books, and it´s christmas, so merry christmas to me. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/supersam98/P1090855.jpg

Just gorgeous Dave! Yes, the Oy I believe was for the Discordia project, and yes, frik, I am almost positive they are the ORIGINALS. Michael showed me all of his new artwork one day in his studio (although it was not complete yet) so the Roland I recognize. That's definitely Audrey's hand at framing (gorgeous!!!) The Whelans love you Dave, that's for sure!

You guys are really making it difficult to follow but here goes...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feNoV47XXug

The video will explain...but here's the story anyway...

One of four special editions of Tom Clancy's blockbuster new thriller, Dead or Alive. This signed first edition is one of four books delivered to Tower of London on Monday 6 December 2010 by the Parachute Regiment's world famous parachute display team, The Red Devils. It comes in a black gun case-style foam-lined case, that also contains a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, an engraved silver AK-47 bullet in a silver presentation tin, and a set of engraved dog tags. These four special editions are being auctioned off in aid of the Parachute Regiment Charity.

As usual, I'm having problems downloading the photos...sorry...I hope what you see in the video gives you an idea of what this is.

Christmas in the Mulleins house has been awesome and full of surprises:

First Up:

My oldest daughter commissioned a local artist to do this piece for me. (my pictures won’t do it justice)
The artist used the imperfections in the wood for faces, items, etc. You have to sit there and stare at it to see all the different pictures within the painting.

My wife with the help of a sneaky friend from here worked with artist Don Maitz to do this for me:

And:

A little bit of Christmas silliness going on in the Mulleins house. My wife surprised me with this:

Nice additions to the pride and joy thread, but truth be told, my family is my pride and joy.

I couldn’t or wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Merry Christmas

Very nice!!!

You gotta post larger pics of the artwork shown in the first two pictures.

Congratulations, Ralph! :)

My new pride and joy is Hubby got me a Nook for Christmas!!! Very excited to have one and have already bought a few books for it! Full Dark No Stars was the first!

Congratulations Karen! I hope you enjoy it. Last summer my wife fell and broke both wrists. She is a librarian and avid reader who once told me she liked the feel of holding a book and didn't think she would ever use a Kindle. Because she couldn't hold a book with her arms in casts I bought a Kindle for her thinking that even if she only used it for six weeks it would be worth the cost. The bottom line is that she loves that thing and hasn't read a "real" book since. Hope you enjoy your Nook as much as my wife likes her Kindle.

[carlosdetweiller]

Christmas in the Mulleins house has been awesome and full of surprises:


Congratulations Ralph! I too would like to see some more detail of the artwork. They look very nice.

[CRinVA]

My kids all pitched in (nop pun intended) and got me a Mariano Rivera signed baseball from Christmas. Each of my boys has a dozen or so signed balls that I give them for Christmas every year, but this is my first one. They originally thought asbout getting me a Mickey mantle, but the cost was just way over their budget. As it is, its probalby the most they have collectivley spent on me for Christmas ever with the Rivera ball. It was purchased through Stei9ner Sprots so we are 100% confident on th esignature. I'll get a pic up soon for those few Yankees fans here!

I also started a new tradtion for my grandson Tommy. He is 7 months old. I iwll be giving him a signed ball for Christmas every year. The criteria is that the sig has to be a rookie that year. Gave him Mike Stanton (Marlins) this year. I also gave his Dad, my son in law a Josh Johnson (Marlins) signed ball as Marlins is his fave team! And my daughter and spon ain law gave Tommy an Austin Jackson (anotyher rookie )signed ball. By the time he is really interested in baseball (and he will :P ) he should have a pretty nice collection.

Nice gift, Karen!.

Ralph - Nice art pieces!. Wonder who you are referring to as the 'sneaky friend'. :rofl:

[Patrick]

Ralph, you must post larger versions of those artwork pictures. Not too huge, but you can get bigger than those.

Karen, way to go!

[oy-the-brave]

Ralph congrats on the artwork, I really love Don's work :thumbsup:

Karen if you enjoy the nook as much as I enjoy my kindle you won't read many "real" books anymore.

Karen if you enjoy the nook as much as I enjoy my kindle you won't read many "real" books anymore.

I find I read just as many printed book as I used to, even with Kindle 3 the screen is still very dark compared to paper, which can be a problem here with all the overcast days we have. But really I still have to read paper books because I have such a huge backlog to get through.

For Xmas i got a nice scarf (i forgot one on the Glasgow train about a month and half ago... And it had a sentimetal value to me), and a nice weird item i once saw and liked.

Recieved today in the mail : french proofs for UNDER THE DOME (called DOME) that will be published in march.

http://club-stephenking.fr/img/collection-herbertwest/Dome-french-proofs.JPG

So, now i have the french : Carrie (1st ed, review copy), and proofs for : BLAZE, DUMA KEY, JAS.
Cant believed i missed a Bag of Bones on ebay not long ago...

Covers of DOME (LINK) (http://club-stephenking.fr/news.php?lng=fr&pg=1949)

Stephen King fans arent happy though, cause the publisher have divided the book in 2, and of course that means twice the price of a book...

I already have one of these, but it is not in the best condition, so this is an upgrade for me.

Be on the look-out for a less-than-mint copy on ebay soon. :)

[thegreattim]

Very cool! I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but that's a pretty darn reasonable price you paid, no?

[tippy4]

I am pretty sure I paid more than that for my beat-up copy several years back.

The original price of this was $100 in 1988.

[east-tennessee]

Nice Tippy, I considered biding on this, but passed.
Those come up for sale quite often, I'll get one someday..

Congrats..

Fairly hard to find Nov. 73 issue of WRITER'S DIGEST. I think this has King's first professional non-fiction article (only preceded by the college stuff, "King's Garbage Truck," etc.). First copy I have ever had that didn't have a mailing label stuck to the front cover or (worse) a mailing label that has been torn off leaving permanent residue.

Article titled "The Horror Market Writer And The Ten Bears" tells about writing and getting published (this is all pre-CARRIE). King is even helpful enough at the end to give the prospective writer the mailing addresses for Gent, Cavalier, Sir! and other adult magazines, as well as Warren Publishing, Marvel Comics and others.

Looks great. Congratulations.

[biomieg]

I was watching it and I was oh-so-sure that I had prepared a snipe bid. I went to bed and fell asleep peacefully, happily anticipating the eBay invoice that I was sure to find in my e-mail the next morning (most US listings end when it's after midnight here). Well, as you can see the part of my brain that was responsible for actually setting up the snipe bid had apparently gone to bed a couple of days earlier.

Congratulations, Bob!

(I would be more than willing to buy a lesser copy of yours if you still have one).

Yes, they did!! Beautiful book!!!!! Great Story, too!!!!!

[namelessnpoor]

Today I was greeted with a package from Betts, It was my UK 1st Edition copy of The Shining. I bought and paid for it in 2010, so it doesn't count as a 2011 purchase !! That means i can buy an extra book this year !!!
Thanks David, one book closer to completing the UK 1st Edition collection.

[wizardsrainbow]

Most welcome. I love that particular edition. There is a signed copy that has been on ABE.com for a long time cause the price is astronomical, but I'd dearly love a signed copy of that book. Hell, I'd love a signed copy of the US 1st edition, one of the few US 1st editions that I do not have signed.

[thegreattim]

I was extremely pleased when the seller accepted my OBO, and even more so when this book arrived today...

This is the second to last, and arguably the most expensive, limited I needed to complete my China Miéville (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?11737-Book-Collection-thegreattim&p=582203&viewfull=1#post582203) S/L collection. I was lucky enough to find a copy at what I consider to be an extremely fair OBO eBay price. Now if I could just find someone willing to sell me the Easton Press edition of The Scar like that!

The Tain, China's first S/L unless I am mistaken. A hardcover S/L limited to 400 copies, by PS Publishing.

[carlosdetweiller]

An interesting book. Not a "pride and joy" but a new acquisition. Maybe we should have a thread for new stuff that is not really a "pride and joy"?

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/carrienewdj3.jpg

I bought it for next to nothing on eBay recently. Normally I wouldn't have bothered but the spine of the dust jacket caught my eye. The title on the spine is horizontal and extends too far onto the front and back panels to be read easily. This is a trial dust jacket and the final dust jacket had the title running vertically so you could more easily see it when it was shelved.

Peter Schneider who used to work at Doubleday sold a few of us collectors books with the trial dust jackets several years ago. I was under the impression that none were released to the retail market. But, who knows? The seller of this book told me she bought it at a "state sale."

Below are some older photos of both the trial and finished states of the dust jacket.

[wizardsrainbow]

Bob-

You do not miss a beat! Who else would have known (and noticed!) that difference.
Nicely done!

[ELazansky]

What's funny is that on the other three books with that type of DJ (Salem's Lot, The Shining, and Night Shift), the title is horizontal, but it fits on the spine. My "vertical" Carrie look out of place now..gotta find me a horizontal one.

[Cloysterpete]

An interesting book. Not a "pride and joy" but a new acquisition. Maybe we should have a thread for new stuff that is not really a "pride and joy"?


I always thought this thread should be renamed recent acquisitions or something similar. Because I don't like to post anything I get in this thread as none of its special enough to be called a pride&joy, just like standard books that I think are cool but not particularly rare. Like I don't want to post a pic of a $10 book and have people think Thats a pride and joy?!?, what's he posting it in here for?.

[jhanic]

When this board started (after the demise of the old TheDarkTower.net) this thread was named "New Pride and Joy" because the similar thread on the old board was named "Recent Acquisitions". I always just assumed the originators of this thread wanted to distinguish it from the old one.

John

[biomieg]

And I assume that most of us are happy with and/or proud of their new acquisitions, so the name of this thread sounds fine to me :)

[Randall Flagg]

No hard and fast rules, but if it is new, and your proud-post it!

[thegreattim]

Agree. I love seeing everyone's new stuff! King or not, limited or not.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the regular UK trade edition with a limitation page added at the front and a slipcase, put together by Goldsboro Books:

There are supposed to be 30 copies. I think they were mostly sold through Fred Parmenter, eBay userID riverlintrader.

I've got two different ones--both with different drawings but only one signed by Anderson. The unsigned one is entitled "Taheen". Seven were first offered by Fred back in 2004 and I was high bidder so I got to pick the one I wanted. The others are "Door", "Horse", "Rose" (which seems to be the one you show here), "Sneetch", "Thunderclap" and "Turtle". The other I got from Greg (shibus) in 2009. I'm not sure just what the illustration is (it's packed away somewhere!).

[CurtSeattle]

What do you guys think?

[jhanic]

I'd say you got a decent deal. Not great, but not bad either.

Here is the painting that Glenn Chadbourne did of me for the Haven charity donation I gave. The other pic is the one I sent him to use for the painting so you can see that he did a pretty good job. I look like I've been on trail of someone going through the deserts of various worlds/dimensions!

p.s. Sending my Letter "O" pics of the 3 Colorado Kid books that the artists' did those remarques on to www.StephenKingCollector.com since I just realized they didn't have them (since I never had sent them in...lol!). Should be up when he gets to them. :)

p.s.s. Another random thing I thought I'd post. A VHS tape with case of the Rock Bottom Remainders! This would be a concert I'd love to attend! Reminds of when I saw Seahawks owner Paul Allen jamming on a guitar with Dan Ackroyd singing lead vocals after the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl a few years back. We were ripped off, but vindication will come this year!!! Go Hawks!!!

John would you mind saying what you paid for your remarqued SoS?
I won mine for 129.00 (which seemed like a good deal to me), Dave

[frik]

Wow; cool, Curt!

[Brice]

Congratulations Bob!

[Cutter]

Curt that is one heck of a good resemblance and it's a Dark Tower piece, I think that is a very cool piece of artwork - congrats!

[CurtSeattle]

Thanks! Trying to figure out how to frame it with my pic somehow to show how well he did it. Maybe 2 frames since it might be weird in one. Or maybe on the back in a plastic sleeve to show when I want to.

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Curt!

From the angle of that picture, it looks like the traycase is magnetized on the side, rather than just a simple closing. Is that the case here?

Yep, it is indeed magnetized on the side.

[Ricky]

That's pretty cool. Thanks for clearing that up.

I can see them fine. Congratulations with a great book!

*edit* I see that Jerome fixed your image links.

Thanks, Jerome.

[WeDealInLead]

My Skeleton Crew arrived. It's not in as great of shape as the one posted on the previous page but I like it nonetheless. Jerome's copy is priced reasonably. My copy was $615 w/ shipping in from UK.

[biomieg]

Congratulations! :)

[east-tennessee]

Very nice.....:cool:

[idlewarnings]

It's hard to believe the Skeleton Crew limited is 25 years old already. I'm glad there's people out there taking good care and passing them on.

[Patrick]

I love seeing friends pick up copies of the SKELETON CREW signed/limited!
